What sound card are you using?
I have a "Creative SB X-FI gammer" that I'm not happy with.
I changed to this card last fall sometime thinking it would give me better responce both in gamming and sound, but it didn't.
While playing some games, I get a squeeling sound and an intermittent clicking, however I don't have any problem with recording or playbacks.
I'm going to replace the card and would like to know what everyone else is using and would recommend.
Thanks,
Walt
