I'm looking at getting a new PCI soundcard in the £40-£100 price range, I have an AMD Althlon 2500 PC so I only have PCI slots avaliable until I upgrade my system in Q1 2009 then I can move the card to my new system, I'll be pairing it with a Logitech Z5500 Home Theatre System which I'll be buying at the same time.
I've never brought a soundcard so I'm clueless about them and my current speaker system is dead so I'm looking to get something new fast to go along with the new HT.
The Logitech Z5500 has 2 Digital inputs 1x Digital Coaxial & 1x Optical and I have 2 devices I want to use with the digital connections, my PC and PS3. So I'll need a card that has 1x Digital Coaxial Out so I can run my PC through D-Coaxial as my PS3 will be using the Optical connection, an Optical in would also come in handy but is not required.
Any recommendations are welcome, I'm currently on 32-Bit Vista and will be using 64-bit when I build my new Pc.
