Hi all,

I have an old S775 motherboard(Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L) whose onboard sound chip is not working. I would hence like to buy a soundcard which can get the job done at the same sound quality. Are there any decent ones available for about 500 bucks or less? New or used?

Thanks!

Check on flipkart, amazon.in or ebay
You will get some small brands in your budget.

Less than Rs 500 please, as mentioned in my first post.

Are zebronics cards fine? Do they last long enough? And is the sound quality as good as onboard audio?

Take zebronics or similar sound card. It is OK in your budget.
Don't expect much in this price range.
