Best output with MC
JimH:
If you use HDMI to send audio to an external device, there is no advantage to changing the sound card. The HDMI connection passes a digital stream that the external device decodes. If it gets there, you're good.
maid:
Still need a new sound card as mine does not have HDMI

What do you mean by "not good enough to use?" Were you having interference issues, or...?
maid:
I have sorted out the issues mostly. Just wanted to get HD sound from my bluray rips

I forgot to ask if you and your husband are happy with the sound of cds/dvds playing on your current setup? If not, a sound system (better receiver or better speakers) and HDMI video card upgrade might be advisable.
If you are both content with sound system itself, the sound card would be more cost effective. I have and enjoy the Auzentech X-Meridian in my setup; the Asus Xonar HDAV is also highly regarded. I have also heard some good things about Creative's X-Fi series of sound cards (but also some bad).
