I have the Creative Audigy card which seems like a very good product, but I want to start doing some true 5.1 mixes. How can I use this card for that since it doesn't exactly have 6 discrete outputs? Any suggestions or should I go buy a pro card for mixing.
I answered this exact question in a thread earlier today.
I had one of those cards and they say you can mix surround etc etc, I went through it with I don't know how many people. I couldn't get it to work. I replaced the SB card with an M-audio delta 410 and haven't had any problems. It's a dream. See that other post for a link to that card for $99.
