Until I bought XPS40 with a sigmatel integrted soundcard
But it worked halfway.
I've now installed Vista SP1; and only windowssounds works. Im am not able to play radio or any gamesounds. Only windows.
Youll find me at my local pub... drunk..

Integrated sound/GPU/etc... isn't really 'quality'.. however, you can run and get a sweet sound card at walmart for only $20.00....

Integrated sound isn't bad these days, but for the best experience you need an APU (that's audio processing unit).
If you can spring for a Creative X-Fi card - and not the lowest-priced model; it doesn't have the X-Fi chip - then do it. It's an overall great sound card and the only way you'll experience the latest versions of EAX - via a wrapper on Vista - and it accelerates OpenAL. where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

I usually use SoundBlaster as well.. I'm going to invest in an X-Fi card too.

Bought a realy cheap SoundBlaster. Dont realy have any great demands for my sound.
I now have proper suround for the first time on my new Dell, but the headset dont work, I guess the jack is conected to the integrated card somehow.
I think a headset with USB should do the job...
