Is the Creative X Fi Sound Blaster Laptop Sound Card worth it?

Can a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with High Definition Audio 2.0 sound card perform 16-bit recording ?

  • Can a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop with High Definition Audio 2.0 sound card perform 16-bit recording, which is supposed to be required for Dragon Naturally Speaking? The other sound card options are: Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition (add $25) ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card (add $80) Thanks so much.

  • Answer:

    Yes, it sure can. 16-bit recording has been a standard feature of sound cards for over 15 years. The Intel High Definition Audio codec supports up to 32 bit recording.

Well, 16 bit recording has been around since at least the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_16 (oh man, brings back memories of configuring Doom), a card released in June, 1992. I'm gonna give you a tentative 'yes'.

Thanks much! I guess someone should tell the Dell Chat Online person that she should stop pushing the ExpressCard for 16-bit recording (she told me that she is positive I needed the ExpressCard for the 16-bit recording).
