Which sound card for Windows 7?
I want to get an internal 5.1 soundcard as an upgrade to my son's Hewlett Packard desktop machine. It was new just before last Christmas, but I can't remember the model number. The computer runs (preinstalled) Windows 7.
The machine's only PCI-E slot is already occupied by a graphics card, so I need to get one which is just PCI.
Some sound cards I have seen on the shelves mention Vista on the box, but no mention of W7. Some shop staff tell me it "ought to work, but bring it back if it doesn't", but I would rather avoid this option if I can.
My son is reasonably computer literate, so he could download and install drivers if necessary, but does anyone know of a card that will work straight out of the box with W7 even though it doesn't say so on the tin?
Many thanks.
