Hi, everyone! I've bought home theater 5.1 sound system Microlab H-510 for PC and realtek drivers dissapointed me in every way possible. There is no way to install internal sound card for me , video card blocks every socket, so what external card is the most preferable choice for me? The most important for me is the speaker's sound, when I play games or watch movies. Optical sockets or headphones features are optional . My limit is 160$

Are you sure it's the drivers, and not the speakers / media? Have you tried pluuging it in another computer?

It's a shame for 5.1 system not to have digital inputs, though.
I have pretty old alc 887 sound card on my motherboard, honest to say I never even saw it in the compatible hardware roster of realtek's drivers
