I typically just use on board (mainboard) sound but I now have Win7 64bit and some of my games (COD 4 and 5) don't like on the on board sound chip I have.

Can anyone who still plays these games on Win7 with a discrete sound card tell me which one they are using?
Or at least recommend a ~$50 one that they know works really well with a lot games and has fairly good to great driver support?

Thanks!

You're looking at the Xonar DG, as per TechReport's review.

I have a Xonar D2X myself, and even though the drivers are absolutely horrendous for music creation, I haven't had any problems with games whatsoever so far (*knock on wood*). Asus is really slow at updating their drivers (look at the Uni-Xonar modded drivers for proof), however, once again, as games go, they're pretty good to begin with. Certainly MUCH better than Creative.

Thanks for your help Morphine.

I just ordered one and I'll give it a shot.
