Hi,

I am looking into getting a dedicated sound card for my computer and I am having trouble selecting one of the following

Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
Sound Blaster Audigy Value
Sound Blaster Audigy 4
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer

The only difference that I have found is that the audigy and higher have EAX HD, but i'm not sure about the audigy value.

Is there much difference between the two X-fi cards I listed.

I only have 5.1 speakers, not going to upgrade them, these cards will only be used for gaming, nothing else.
Need one because my on-board audio isn't working.

Thank you in Advance

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer - the difference is hella worth it between them two, or is it the xtreme music and the gamer... i can't remember,m anyway, the gamer is the better of the 2
