My mate needs a decent cheap soundcard for his PC. Its got to have Full Duplex capability and have some semi-decent A to D converters. Any ideas?

The Turtle Beach Montego has 18 bit DACs, is full duplex, and has like a 92db s/n ratio. It can be had for less than $100. I highly recomend it. And you can upgrade it with digital i/o in the future if you want. If you wanna spend even less get the Ensonig AudioPCI (now the Creative Ensong AudioPCI). Its got a great sound quality for just $50. Its full duplex as well, but a bit more noisy than the Montego. The Diamond Monster SOund M80 may also be something to look into.

Yes... these are all gaming oriented card... but the fact of the matter is that these cards have some great features for their price.

Just to warn people, the Creative Ensoniq PCI is NOT the same card as the former Ensoniq Audio PCI. It uses the AC 1371 chip rather than the 1370 which is supposedly quite different. For some obscure reason, the Ensoniq Audio PCI card which CL took over is now called the PCI64 and will be available in the Uk in August. Oh yeh, the PCI64 is currently retailing in the US for twice the price that the Ensoniq card was retailing for!!!!!!!

First there was the PCI 64.....no we have have the PCI 128....from one month to the next. All for the low, low price of $100!! Funny that they're both the same price.

Avoid the AWE64gold. Signal-to-noise ratio of 74db. (It comes out worse than CL's cheapest card, the vibra).
