I am mainly getting this so I can have a better soundcard for gaming, but I also need good music quality as well. Around $50 is the maximum price range. Also, having EAX support and at least 5.1 audio is absolutely necessary. Good driver support and simple installation is a plus.

Thanks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What's wrong with having a Creative card anyway?
I am one of the many people that experiences lock ups (i.e. I need to restart my computer because the computer just freezes) while playing games because of their sound cards (there's nothing I can do about it; updating drivers etc. doesn't work). From what I've read on different forums, you just need to get a new soundcard, because apparently no one has been able to find a solution (I have simply given up and I refuse to attempt to fix the problem yet again).

Are there any soundcards out there that are able to utilize the sound effects that are used in EAX even if they don't have EAX? For instance, you enable EAX in a game and it will give you EAX effects (it sounds strange, I know)?

Aside from that, what would be a soundcard that has good gaming capabilities in addition to good music quality?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So can somebody give me a link to a soundcard (not made by creative) that I should buy?

Are these any good (or which one is the best)? If so which should I buy?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
