Post subject:  Choosing a new sound card.

Any advice or comparison articles on what my new sound card should be?

I have the Xonar DG, sounds great with music and games but it seems i have some compatibility software with some games where the sound will cut out and I have to tinker with the sound card manager to get it working again or restart my computer. Another problem i have is a slight clicking or buzzing noise with certain games...(seems to happen more often when running games under admin mode)

So what sound card do you use? I have two little bose speakers and the sound with my card is great but these issues make me want to make another purchase...

Thanks in advance,
- James

Interesting that you would say that...

I just switched from my Creative X-Fi XtremeAudio to an Asus Xonar DX for those exact same reasons. My Creative sound card was having boatloads of issues on my 64-bit machine while the Asus is currently working great.

hmm... =/
Well how much did the DX cost and how well does it perform? Any bugs with gaming so far?

About 70 or 80 bucks. It's performing admirably, no bugs to really report. UT2004 sounds a little bit different with it than it did with the XtremeAudio, though.
