Quote:For a long time, when you thought of a sound card there were two basic choices; there were cards from Creative Labs and then there was everyone else. However, over recent years, there has been an increasing number of challengers, both new and old, looking to take a piece of Creative's pie. Recently, we've seen some compelling choices arrive from M-Audio, AudioTrak and Terratec. Each offers a moderately priced, yet powerful audio card based around VIA's ICEnsemble Envy 24HT audio processor, which provides 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 surround sound functionality. The processor also offers up some advanced features, that help the card reach the widest audience, from the casual gamer to the audiophile looking for advanced recording and editing functionality. While there are a few flavors of the Envy such as the 24 and 24PT, the 24HT is a powerful, cost effective processor that can be utilized in audio card designs or motherboards, to provide high end features for a reasonable price point.
