i am going to run dual sound cards.

M-Audio Audiophile 192 (for recording) and i need another sound card for my 5.1 Speaker setup, any reccommendations? I am currently have the Soundblaster Live 5.1 which i'd like to upgrade.

Thanks.

I like the Sound Blaster X-Fi range for standard soundcards.

I run the xtreme music version for normall stuff and a M-audio for producing.

There are more expensive SB cards but I think the extreme musioc does everything needed for games and standard stuff.

Looks Good indeed. Installation easy?

In terms of listening to music, does it sound good? (better than my cheap Soundblaster Live 5.1) will i know the diffrence. To me, this soundcard sounds good, due to my tweaking of the mixer and what not.

I had the SB Live 5.1 before and it does sound much better to me.

Not a patch on the M though.
