Sound Card Help

[ProfessorPat]

Hi, I recently bought a new computer and do not know much about sound cards.

I want good quality for my computers audio but do not know what sound card to get. I want to get M-Audio AV 30 Active 2-Way Desktop Monitor Speakers and want to know what kind of audio card would do the job well because the computer's sound card currently is integrated.

The integrated sound cards today are very good and provide HD quality sound. What I would do is get the speakers and connect them up to the integrated sound that you have and see what it sounds like to you. If you then feel it's not good enough you can then add a sound card.

If you do get a sound card , since you are getting M-Audio speakers then you can get a M-Audio sound card;

M-AUDIO Audiophile 2496 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface 4-In-4-Out Professional Audio Card with MIDI $94.99.
