Possibly, anyway. Right now I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2, but it looks like the thing is crapping out on me after some 2 years of faithful service. I get a really shit sounding cracking/clicking noise from my speakers (5.1 Klipsch) whenever something plays out of them. I'm 90% sure it's the soundcard, since I get the same results with headphones plugged in, plus I hooked my speakers up to my roommates computer and they sounded great, didn't crack once.

So this puts me in the market for a new one, which blows since I was planning on upgrading my video card and RAM first. I'm thinking that I'd like to stick with a Soundblaster card, but I really don't know much about soundcards and that's pretty much all I know. The only things I'll need it for are listening to music and playing games and I'm trying to stay around $100-150.

Anyone else upgrade their's lately?
