Hey guys

I bought myself a Roccat Kave headset, and the 'middle' channel is picking up electrical noise. Obviously its super annoying.

I Googled around and discovered that this is a common problem with this headset when using onboard sound.

So I need a sound card. I've never owned a dedicated sound card, and know very little about them.

I'm looking to spend about R700 max, don't need anything fancy.

Thoughts?
 
I've always used Creative and I see that Sybaritic has the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express Sound Card for R690.

Just gotta watch out with the Creative range because they have different offerings. The Xtreme Audio doesn't come with gaming features such as EAX and Dolby

The X-Fi Titanium on the other hand...

I'd recommend this one though: http://us.store.creative.com/PCI-Express-Sound-Blaster-XFi-Titanium/M/B0018EFGTM.htm

For that budget, get one of the Asus Xonar range. If you find a decent Creative X-Fi in SA, I'll be genuinely surprised. SA hasn't had a Creative distributor in nearly 2 years...

Maybe look at the Asus Xonar DX?
 
Yeah, finding a Creative card in SA will be tough. I was looking at getting myself a Xonar card myself.
