Soundblaster live! vs Audigy 2 ZS

[BenW]

Well, hopefully i'll be getting some Z-2200 speakers soon and my current sound card is a soudblaster live! 5.1 value which came in my dell.

The question is, will i notice much difference between my current card and the Audigy 2 ZS?

[Zak33]

yes

I am pretty sure everyone will say yes here..

You want the truth ?....it depends on what your listening to through them....
Games will be better, but your MP3's wont have a huge difference.

k, thanks agent. I play music almost all the time im using the pc which is a few hours a day and play games maybe once a week. Think i'll wait until i get the speakers and then see what they sound like

I did this upgrade 3 weeks ago and I noticed the difference straight away without trying. This is through my good old Inspire 5300 which I suspect aren't as good as the Logitech. Bear in mind I use the KXproject drivers which sound better anyway but I was using them for both cards so they shouldn't come into the equation.

cool, thanks Wam!

Looks like its another upgrade to go on the list after a new hard drive!
