Hello guys,
So a few of you might have already seen my other thread awhile ago. But basically I was given the Razer Leviathan sound bar as a gift and this particular speaker only has a 3.5mm jack and an optical jack. The optical cable was also provided along with the speaker.
Since my motherboard (MSI Z370 A Pro) does not have an optical output to go with the Leviathan, I decided it's time to buy a sound card. I know I could have just used the 3.5mm cable for sound, but I really want to make use of the 5.1 virtual surround sound feature offered by the Leviathan.
So after doing some research, I saw that it's important to get soundcard with DTS/DDL decoder, because not all media comes decoded already. Right?
So the question is: do you have any suggestion for the best budget 5.1 sound card (below $100 USD) that have DTS/DDL and also an optical jack for my cable to go in?
P/S: Also, would any PCIe sound card fit perfectly physically into my motherboard? As mentioned before, my mb is MSI Z370 A Pro and I'm only using 1 single GTX 1080 graphic card and a 120mm cpu cooler. Idk if any of the above would interfere at all with the sound card placement, but I just really want to make sure it would fit.
