So today my soundcard decided, for the 2nd time in its history with me, to die unexpectedly for no good reason at all. It was as simple as: I turned on my computer and my speakers, windows booted and there was no sound from any app. Like before, I just downloaded and reinstalled the drivers and it came back. It's not that big a deal and it didn't take long to repair, but why do retarded things such as that happen to computer components?

I'm seriously thinking about finally buying a new soundcard (Audigy 2 or something similar) and taking a big old crap on this one. 8]

I just bought an audigy 2 zs Platinum. Its got a faceplate. I can record from 4 different sources at once.
If you feel like sinking another 100 or so, you can get the audigy 4, and that thing allows you to record from 5 different sources, and then master 2 5.1 channels simaltaneously.

m-audio makes better cards than creative for equivalent or lesser prices

do they support surround sound gaming as well or are they mainly for music production?

yeah, it's loads better hehe. I guess the title is a bit misleading though, since my soundcard didnt really die either time, it just went into a short coma. :D
