Thanks to Guncrasher aka Semp for the new sound card.. He made me a deal I could not refuse... the card is a Soundblaster Z
http://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-z and whats can I say ... love it. love it.. I like the fact i can run my speakers
AND a headset at the same time.. When I don't want to bother anyone I can turn off the speakers with the on/off switch, on my speakers, without unplugging and re plugging in the headset.
So Semp
