I have my son`s discarded `puter. He installed Montego Turtle Beach A3D
Xstream, which is probably 5 years old now. I was told that the Soundblaster
Live is the current flavour of the month, but when I tried it, the
orchestral sounds were very harsh, and the clarinet terrible. So I had the
Montego re-installed. It has wonderful woodwind sounds. Not quite so hot on
brass.
