Rep Power: 2  |  THX for laptop hi all i have a question here to disucss. i have a laptop DELL Inspiron 1520. i have decided to buy a USB Sound Card for it as lappy does not support 5.1 sound. hence i am going for this.. Creative USB Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Sound Card - Get more out of your music and movies is any cheaper USB card available ? 2nd thing is about speakers.... have decided to go either for creative Inspire T6100 or directly for creative GigaWorks G500 :-) lets see..not fix yet. my frnd has logitech X 540 ...same as t6100 as per rating are considered. what shld i do ? and whats the approx price for G500 ?? and will T6100 compatible with the sound card i mentioned above ? |

| G500 costs 21K (or Rs 21000). I would not recomend it if u will use it with a laptop. Y dont u go 4 high quality headphones instead ???? I do not think that the USB sound card is gr8. Anything cheaper and u will notice no difference.(u will get 5.1 support is only difference) will try to get some GOOD reviews on them. I m guessing that u need it 4 movies ? |

http://www.alteclansing.com/images/user/FX5051_MAN.pdf check this....in section Placing Speakers Subwoofer Warning: The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. As such, it SHOULD be placed at least 2 feet (0.6m) from TVs, computer monitors, computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e.g., floppy disks, Zip disks, computer or audio tapes, etc.). | |
