Sound Card

It seems like putting things up for auction on Ebay is contagious. I put up my copy of RDR this morning, and decided to put up my X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional card a few minutes ago.

I've had the card lying around for a few months now because I bought an Asus Xonar DX sound card. The problem was that the X-Fi had compatibility issues with Windows 7 and wouldn't work in my PC, but I was never sure if the card was broken, or if it was just a compatibility issue. The card has a red power light on it that always lit up, which is the one reason I never tossed it out, because I always thought it wasn't broken.

Anyway, since I put the game up this morning I decided to test the card in an old XP computer I had lying around, and it worked flawlessly. Additionally, when I checked the site for drivers, I found out that they released a patch for the Win 7 compatibility issues that existed, so those are now fixed.

If any of you are interested, here's a link to the card on Ebay:
