Can't find the specs for my sound card?

[bamhm182]

I have a Yamaha DS-XG Audio CODEC, but I can't find the specs anywhere, I was going to upgrade this, but I don't know what the specs are and I don't want to accidentally downgrade. also, if I upgraded this, could I tell the differance between the 2??

I`d just get a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 Sound Card or summin like that. Specs are summin like...
- 7.1 surround output
- 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution
- 100dB signal to noise ratio
- Comprehensive Creative Media Source software provided
- EAX ADVANCED HD 3.0 support for gaming
- CMSS up-mixes stereo content to 7.1 surround

Got to be better than integrated sound and for £20 you can`t really go wrong

sounds good, thanks. Would I really notice a differance though?

Yeah def, if your into gaming, 24 Bit sound is much clearer and crisper. Also you have the option for 7.1 surround if you ever get a 7.1 setup.
Even just watchin movies and listen to music you should notice a difference in quallity. Like i said 20 quid for a PCI sound card its good step forward.

alright, thanks, I'll def look into that, and prob get it in the near future, thanks

What exactly is your budget though? You could get something better.

I have no idea what my budget is yet lol, I'm selling a broken PSP and getting B-day money from my rich grandparents, so I'm not sure, it should be over $250 though.
