I'm not really into sound cards that much, I have never used one I've always used onboard sound. I need to buy a good 5.1 headset with a microphone also. I have about $100 for a sound card but would like it cheaper, seeing as I need to buy a decent headset with it.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Onboard sound works well for just about anything nowdays, and they always have a microphone input.

There are no such thing as "5.1" headsets - they are a gimmick. If you want good quality buy a good pair of headphones with your $100, a clip-on or desktop mic and use onboard sound.

If your budget extends past that, you can buy something like an Asus Xonar.

apologies about my earlier post, i misread your thread! Thought you was on about a new soundcard, not headset

I shall read things more thoroughly in future!
