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...
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.
