Asus has the PCI option, Asus D2, not D2X.

Aye thats why I mentioned the D2. It and the D2X are the pretty much the same card, just one is PCI other is PCIe. Actually Asus was the first to actually make a PCIe sound card after how many years now, go figure.

Haha...you mentioned DX, not D2.

DOH! i had had typed originally as I was comparing them in another tab and had put D2X meant to grab the x off it and musta gotten the 2. My bad for not paying closer attention. So I stand corrected sir. Thanks for catching that Chai.

In that case, I will look at the D2's specs and features.

Any luck with the Asus cards, will they do what you need?

Sorry for taking so long, had to take care of some things. Anyway, I checked out all the documentation, but it mostly hints at it DD and DTS decoding to analog. Without confirmation, I won't know for sure. I posted my question in the ASUS forums, so I will know whenever I get a response there.

As long as you have drivers for it I can't see why not. Is it PCI or PCI-E ?

Lacus · 23rd Jun 2008, 08:08 PM

Dell version as in OEM XFI? Yeah it should work but custom drivers usually don't work on OEM soundcards if i can recall. (heck, tons of OEM soundcard are sold in malaysia -.-)
