DOn't buy it there.
GEt it from Vishal Infotech.
Once I bought a soundcard at Golcha. ONe CD and a cable were missing along with screws. Called them and they gave software/drivers burned on a CD.
Vishal Infotech is a authorized dealer for Creative and Canon and is very trustworthy.
Bought camera, speakers, sound card here and he also gives very good price and has good contacts with Canon and Creative service centers.

even if soundcard doesn't have options for dolby prologic or other surround effects u always have option of using powerdvd encoders/decoders to get desired surround effect..& anyways most importantly creative soundcards sound better with their effects being turned off...
secondly buying xifi xtreme audio is like "bashing ur own head with a damn sledgehammer"..
guys xifi xtreme audio is nothing but a rebadged audigy value/SE with xifi drivers..& IS NOT WORTH A SINGLE PENNY over audigy value/live 24bit...heck modded xifi xtreme audio drivers work very nicely with live 24bit/value/SE...
basically by hardware xifi xtreme audio is a audigy value/SE PCB with same layout with changed DAC from wolfson WM8768GEDS in audigy value to cirrus logic CS4382 in xifi xtreme audio..
live24bit/audigy value/xifi xtreme audio are based on similar P17 design...there is no virtual improvement in sound quality for that money in xifi xtreme audio over live24bit/value/SE....& hence xifi xtreme audio is a P.O.S

there is something very neat & sweet for people who just want pristine analog output..
it is M-AUDIO REVOLUTION 5.1
this card has professional quality AKM 4358 as DAC...
analog sound quality wise it kicks most audigy cards & even outperforms previously most famous creative XIFI XTREME MUSIC soundcard..
M-AUDIO has released vista 32bit drivers for this card on 1st april 2008
one thing more revolution 5.1 version has better DAC than revolution 7.1 version,so unless u have 7.1 speakers don't go for revolution 7.1
currently this card is for 70$ at newegg but locally this card costs 5-5.5k with aditya infotech

well does it makes sense-buying a dolby certified sound card and pairing it with a 3k speaker system? c'mon ! onboard is good for that job
M-Audio Revolution is a better card for its DAC and will pwn X-Fi anyday
but again it comes to good speakers

i'd suggest lynx-india.com
Indian distributors- Aditya *www.adityagroup.com/

it is lot better to get things like soundcards from US as they are grossly overpriced in India & thus it defeats the whole purpose...
there are few guys in other indian forums who import things for other people commercially....i would prefer getting from them over indian retailers...
btw if stereo sound is the prime objective then there is a lot more sweeter option....
it is 100$ professional EMU0404 PCI soundcard
it kicks most consumer grade pc soundcards to moon..
