Below has been c/p:
Just got a new, well old coreduo, pc which I use in my family room. I have analog 5.1 speakers(green, black, orange 3.5mm). Using the onboard sound, I noticed options(levels) were not working eg, sub slider does nothing. So I dug out my audigy 2 zs and to my surprize, no "surround sound", or prologic. If that wasn't bad enough, there wasn't even any sliders to adjust center, rear...etc.
That is not why I am posting this. I'm waiting for my wife to give me the "go ahead" to purchase a low profile(pcie) with digital out soundcard for my htpc. This runs win7 and I'd like to have full control of my speaker levels and Dolby Digital.
I'm looking for a suggestion as to what soundcard would fit what I need, and also if anyone has input on my audigy2 software limitations.
Thanks.
