I've just upgraded my system with new 7800GS GFX card (yes that is AGP ) and my graphics are superb. I'm still having the same old problems with sound e.g. stuttering and crackling in BF2, FarCry and the likes (I've tried updating drivers and everything and its not the speakers).
I still have a SB Live 5.1 that came with the PC ages ago (Dell 8300 ). Anyway, i was wondering if it is worth upgrading to either an Audigy 4 or X-Fi and which is best value.
Any advice on what to get would be helpful, especially if you own any of these. I don't know much about sound... or anything for that matter, so thanks.
