Definetly not me buying yet another dedicated sound card for my PC 😅
It used to be required back in the 486 days. Get off my lawn!
yeah, I'll plug my Gravis game controller into the parallel port on my soundblaster for some reason
You mean the games/midi port.
Kids today have no idea how good they have it with USB!
Yep, configuring the game/midi port was a PITA.
Sometimes when I'm buying a new part or whatever I catch myself looking at sound cards then wondering wtf I'm doing anyway.
Some of them are really pretty, but if you only care about performance (Minimum and 1% FPS that is), go for the AE-5 Plus or the X-Fi XtremeGamer.
If you're producing music you're well advised to buy a dedicated sound card for latency and input / output purposes.
