hello everyone, which audiocard is better? im interested in mic performance and overall music playback quality. links:

The Creative Audigy easily.

However unless you got 120$ headphones and a dedicated 100$ mic the soundcard won't make a difference, especially with the mic
Furthermore creative drivers are....Creative.

IF you got premium equipment you wouldn't want a cheap sound card like the Audigy

So I see little point in buying one as long as the onboard sound chip works
