Suggestion for Sound Card

[hardhardware]

My intel onboard Realtek HD stopped working, so i gotta buy a new sound card.
My motherboard model is DG33FB.
I need a sound card that supports HD format and provide atleast as much quality as my onboard realtek HD if not better.
Also please include the price & where to buy in hydrabad is possible with your suggestions.
Thanks

budget? what speakers are you using?

 

[hardhardware]

speakers 2.1 creative
budget - 1-2 k.
I mainly use headphones for songs (320 kbps mp3) and gaming.
I have never bought a sound card before but since my onboard got faulty had to buy this time.
Hows the sound quality of creative 5.1 vx ?
Is it comparable to realtek HD i had on my board ?

That's 700Rs IIRC? Isn't it bond?

 

[desiibond]

nah. it's around 1.5k. SB Live is 700 bucks I think.

Audigy value is a good improvement over onboard audio..

Am in hydrabad , i went to computer market nearby and i can only see creative 5.1 vx (for RS 950, with description on box in chinese -.- ) or Frontek sound card for RS 250 (it s**).

So is there any indian online store from where i can buy it ?
or any suggestion where to buy in hydrabad (a contact number would be great) ?

Don't go for lynx-india. Most of the customers are un-satisfied with their service. Try the itwares.com , smcinternational.in, theitdepot.com
