![]() But when the difference in quality is so great between the $20 one and one for a few bucks more. I had hoped to find a sound card for $20. This sound card has impressive quality for what I paid for it. PCI hardware is becoming obsolete, so I thought it might be hard to find a quality sound card that suited my needs. So I had to track down a decent PCI sound card with optical out. There was a PCI-E x1, but it was covered up by the graphics card, which was a dual slot card. But her receiver is an older one and doesn't have any HDMI inputs. I also installed a graphics card, which did have HDMI audio out. The motherboard I had to work with only had analog 1/8 in jacks out. I wanted to make sure she'd be able to get 5.1 to her home theatre receiver. I put this card into an HTPC build I did for my sister. It has a lot of features and really good sound quality. Even though this one appears to be their entry level card. But for my personal build it would have to be one of their top end models. Pros: I came across this card because I filtered through all the sound cards with optical outs by price and this was the cheapest one I could find by a brand that I recognized.
