My X-Fi is not making me happy. I have the XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional version with x-ram and no drive bay. The sound quality is fine but there are a few things that bother me.
1. I can't use any of the enhancements or else audiodg will kill my fps in games
2. I can't easily switch between speakers and a headset (no option in the console and can't use front case ports)
3. Sometimes my soundcard just dies for 30 seconds, I get no sound and my Mic doesn't work, then it comes back on.
So I am looking for a sound card that is similarly priced and won't have these problems with Vista x64. PCI or PCI-e doesn't matter. How are the Razor or cheaper Xonar cards?
