Decent sound card for VIA chipset

[palladium]

i wanted to get the SoundBlaster LIVE! Value sound card but i've heard it crackles bad with via chipsets. whats the deal with that and what sound card should i get that has similar qualities/price?

My SBlive's (5 of them on VIA chipsets at this moment) work perfectly in fact the other 2 in my home are on BX chipsets both types of setups work as smooth as smooth.
Just download the correct drivers and configure them correctly and the SBlive's just rock!

Hi,

Yep, same here, my SBLive works like a charm on my VIA base mobo (CUV4X-D)

I did have a SB Live X-Gamer that worked great, but I will recomend to anyone the Hurc. Game Theater XP. Its got everything and then some.
Also Almost all of the computers in my house(8) have X-Gamers and Via chipsets. For the most part they run fine. I cannot blame the sound card on the 1 unstable machine.

My Sound Blaster Live! Xgamer(they are pretty much all the same...nothing special) is working perfectly on a VIA KT133 chipset. I have an Asus A7V...
