pci x sound card

[limqareb]

i got a pci e sound card , audio max 7.1 with my abit aw9d max is it goof or it is not worth the try?

I guess its on board. If so get a creative chip or something...Much better quality sound.

nope it is not onboard i have a separte chip which goes into the pci x slot

 

[Toxcity]

Then in that case.... I have no idea.

 

[llwyd]

well it is very likely to be better than onboard. plus it will relieve a tiny bit of load

 

[limqareb]

i dont have an onboard one i just got this audimax 7.1 soundcard pci x with the mobo but i should be getting an xfi soon

get something more professional than the xfi if you really want excellant sound etc.

Or if you're a gamer get an X-Fi

The Abit AW9D-MAX doesn't have any PCI-X slots. :nono:

No but it has a slot just for the sound card that comes with the Max

 

[Mr. Popo]

No but it has a slot just for the sound card that comes with the Max

So it's not a PCI-X sound card.

 

[limqareb]

so what is it ??

 

[FragTek]

Lim meant to say PCI-E, which it is.

It's an Intel HD card. Not worth bothering with tbh.

Edit : Looking at the design spec, the board is only a riser for the audio sockets/connectors, the audio chips is actually onboard the mobo.
