I've got the creative M2600 2.1 speakers and need a soundcard for them.Now, my knowledge about soundcards is absolutely ZERO, so I have no idea where to start looking.I looked at the sound blaster series but couldnt make head or tails of it.
My budget is around 4k and I only want the card to get better sound.No sound recording crap.!Please help me out!
PS-I live in a hostel n my room is pretty small.So I dont really need a very high end card.

First and foremost, you don't need any soundcard for those speadkers. What is the model number of onboard soundcard? What your motherboard serial number?
