What's Up With Computer Audio?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-you-hear-what-i-hear dept.

Mr.Tweak writes "Last month during QuakeCon it became clearly apparent that computer audio has become somewhat of a forgotten component in the computer industry when talking to gamers and listening to companies at the gaming event. We'll present some benchmark numbers of five different sound solutions as well as provide commentary along the way on our thoughts of computer audio solutions and what should be done to improve things using nVidia's SoundStorm APU as an example."

    The nForce2's 5.1 Dolby Digital SP/DIF output is amazing.

    Why hasn't anyone else made a 5.1/7.1 card with SP/DIF out (and not just a DVD passthrough?) Also, you can forget creative, because I've never had their hardware work correctly with my machine, and the fact that they won't let me download drivers/software for my Audigy Platinum in Windows XP for free just makes me hate them all the more.
