Woot has the Razer Barracuda AC-1 Gaming Sound Card on sale today. New not refurbished as most of there deals are. I haven't use this myself but it has good reviews on newegg and normally retails for 160+.

Enjoy.

Why does it have a DVI port?

[Spawn-Inc]

it's for the audio cables or headset.

Here is a review of it that shows the dvi port.

i have that soundcard but i got mine for 200 bucks and it works great with my Razer Barracuda HP-1 headset.... HD-DAI FTW

but i am having some issues with my headset atm... or it could be the SC still trying to figure out

[Spawn-Inc]

chewy, did you look at the review i posted above? it mentions the dvi connector is a big close to the back part of the case, is yours? he/she said it was hard to plug in the cables.

There is plenty of room on my case to plug in the dvi connector. I know how to fix the problem in that pic. Its acctually really really simple. Loosen the screw that holds the card in, plug in the adapter or headset then tighten the screw.

With the HP-1 headphones it is absolutly killer!! When i tried to run the sound from my RF modulator to my reciever, i got weird distortions like a lisp on all S sounds. It might just be from the modulator. Just a caution.

I'll probably buy the HP-1 sometime in the near future.

By the way, what kind of speakers are you using when your not using the headphones?

Well, the headphones are most ideal for me right now. When i do get around to connecting my reciever the way it was with my onboard audio, i'll be using my sony 500watt 4ch amp in bypass with my kenwood 15" front speakers and a 10" powered sub on the tape out.

Im looking to upgrade my amp but i have strict requirements on what i want to its not going to be cheap and thus, not speedy.
