Ok so I got this sound card from a friend... It's a Creative labs Vibra 16X CT4170... Now I currently have a vinyl AC'97 onboard driver on my computer... I want to know if this creative labs vibra one will be better than the onboard... I currently get crackling in the background of BF2 with the onboard... Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Please help... Sound card...
you're better with onboard. you need to use "software" audio rendering unless you upgrade to a supported soundcard. it shouldn't crackle, though. you may need to update your audio drivers.Originally posted by MadRopes

I'm gonna go with 'onboard' in this case. That Vibra 16 does NOT sound like a good card at all, even if it is Creative.Comment

Re: Please help... Sound card...
yeah. go onboard and in software mode.
creative has an ebay store; you can get a refurb'd audigy 2 zs (i did--up to 7.1 ready; it does 5.1 in BF2 very, very well) for around $40 - $50, and creative doesn't hijack you on shipping like most ebay sellers.
other cards: audigy 4 isn't a big improvement (2 zs was a very late updated version of the 2); audigy se isn't supported for HW; x-fi is a better card, but you really, really have to love your PC in order to lay down that many bucks on a soundcard.
gl and happy trails.Comment
