Hi Guys

 

Would one of these soundcards work better for FSX & 777?

Cheers in advance! I only fly with headphones if that slims it down any.

why would you need a soundcard for FSX and T7? just buy a nice quality headphone it is much better and cheaper

Removed.

If your headphones are USB and that is all you use then a sound card will do absolutely nothing for you. All the sound will be routed through the USB sound layer bypassing the sound card.

That being said, ASUS and Creative make very good sound cards.

Unless you are an extremely picky audiophile (sound engineer) you will not know the difference with any of them. Digital audio is about the best it's going to get as far as what the human ear can distinguish. Speakers will have a more profound effect on the sound quality then anything else.

For most, a decent quality motherboard will have on-board audio card that is more than sufficient.

 

Sound cards prove their worth when you pushing 5.1 or 7.1 sound through quality drivers with the latest games. The sound card will take over the duties from the cpu when using the speaker jacks in the back of the card. USB audio and most on-board audio card sound processing are left to the cpu.

Probably not the answer you're looking for but it's the best I can come up with.
