    Hi!
    Is Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio a real sound card made by Creative or just a software support for a standard integrated sound card? Does anybody have this one? What does this card provide, that a stadndard card does not?

    No, there are no hardware differences. All it does is add a few extra software settings for the sound options. Many people feel it is a waste (i got it sent free and dont use it). Its just a cd with an extra software thing.

    Basically paying for something that really isn't needed to have good sound.
