If you care about sound quality, get the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or M-Audio Revolution 7.1. If you are a heavy gamer, go for an Audigy2. The M-Audio cards are also very solid with games, but sound better than the Creative Audigy series overall.

So, you are definately gonna get a Creative card? Anything with the word "value" in the name rarely inspires confidence. If I only had a choice between those two cards, I'd get the ZS.

 

ZS is the better card, but it's not an audiophile quality card.

^^ LOL! I think that says it all. 4/10. "Mediocre". Get an M-Audio!
