What's the best budget soundcard? I'm looking for something in the $50 range mainly to be used for music and games, but would be willing to go up to $75.
I'd like it to support at least 5.1 channels and some digital audio format (DTZ, DD Live, etc.). I would also love for some type of digital out (either coaxle or optical).
I've looked at the AuzenTech XMYSTIQUE7.1 and the Diamond Xtremesound 7.1. They both have great features and cost about the same after rebates/discounts at Newegg.
I'm open to any other cards though as I'm not too informed on this subject.
