sound card

[sparksy]

ive got a creative blaster sound card which is asking for a product key to let me access the control panel.. fucking joke really its years old.. since I tried to reinstall it the sound cuts out every 15 mins ish... like a buy me plea from creative.. which is really annoying when watching a film ... think i may get a new one and some new speakers..any recommendations

Shouldn't be any key required for a sound card unless you're using some of their software? Just use onboard sound, these days it's more than good enough.

With speakers, you get what you pay for so depends how much you're willing to spend.

Yeah it is there software put the disk in installed it then it won't let me use the control panel without licence... speakers are log item but the onward with the volume on it is fooked think devil spawn have been fiddling
