Hi guys,

I need help with buying a 5.1 channel sound card that supports DirextX 9.0 and EAX 2.0 Support. Please also dont mention any of Creative sound cards because i already tried once in which there was no sound from my sub-woofer in any of creative sound cards. Also send me links or details where i can buy that card.

Thanks in advance.

Creative makes the best sound cards. If one Creative card didn't work it dosen't mean all their cards won't.
@fordac: Sub-woofers don't make sound. The satellites do.

Well I have been using Creative SB Live 5.1 for around 3 years and it hasn't given any problem till date. By the way what's ur budget? Also look into what deathvirus_me has suggested, they are the best soundcard available till date.
