Hello,

I have just bought a sound card for 11,85€.
(http://www.amazon.com/Optimal-Shop-C...dp/B00EUVAZLY/)
(Optimal Shop New PCI 8 Channel 8CH 7.1 Surround 3D PCI Sound Audio Card Optical CMI8768 Chipset for PC Windows XP/Vista/7)

The installation of this sound card was simple. You have to install the driver by a CD (the driver is old, a new update won't perform this card).
As I wanted to test this sound card by listening to music, the sound was quite bad. I have opened the program PCI 3D Audio Configuration
and I wanted to look up why it gives me a bad sound. There were some settings which I could change, but it didn't really helped me.
So I used google how to get a better sound of this sound card. I couldn't find a solution, so I needed to fix it myself.

There is an Equalizer in this program. There you can change the Frequency.
You have to play a music and play with these settings, till you are happy with your sound.

These are my new settings
