Well, I know a few people who got that same card, and after a while, became dissapointed with its performance or lack thereof, and ended up buying a new card, I'm not exactly sure what to tell you and how you should do this but I think that you should forget about the Audigy, and go for X-Fi.

If you weren't aware, its (more than likely) the best soundcard on the market and everyone's happy with it and if you go to creative's website it gives you a lot of the details of the soundcard:

Was looking at the PHILIPS ULTIMATE EDGE 5.1, On a review of it it said " the Ultimate Edge suffers from the same DirectSound hardware channel impotence of other Envy24 implementations. Without DirectSound hardware channels, the Ultimate Edge's drivers will have to do all the heavy lifting for 3D audio in software". Does this mean it DOESNT support hardware?!. Sorry am new 2 this sort of stuff.

Well when you say "support hardware" I don't even know what you're talking about.

How does the card not support hardware when the card IS the hardware?
