You getting a external based soundcard right?

Can consider X-mod..or if you can find a EMU0404 USB.

 

btw you WoW-er?

Sorry I don't play wow

 

Hmm the xmod seems to have alot of crititsim on head hifi, how much does the emu cost??

dun get the xmod ....

 

i still cannot figure how to open it up

 

but that is not the main point..

 

the main point is that there is a very audible "zzz" noise that is very incredibly annoying to the max.
