     I am going to build a new box, and I am only aware of about three   
   makers, Creative, Asus, and Turtle Beach.  I know a couple others exist   
   (Roland, I think), but was simply attempting to get feedback from the   
   folks who know.   
      
     My old box is about 8 years old, and has an Audigy 2 Platinum in it.   
   I am starting to see lack of support for it though on the new OSes, and   
   certainly would want newer and better in my new build.   
      
     OR have motherboard included sound options advanced enough to simply   
   get one that has 5 to 8 channel audio or optical out on it already, and   
   roll without an added on audio solution?
