Hah! That should have been addressed to Scuddie not Hadmar. Mistook you for the author of the thread. Dyslexia strikes again. Sorry for confusing you Hadmar.
Personally, 7.1 isn't enough. I'm looking for something that gives me 15.3, so I can have an explosion of sound around me while I play. Is there anything that can supply me such a great sound?

I'm sure they could make something with 15.3 (I suppose that's 15 channels with 3 subwoofers - all independent) but the question is why? I doubt even in movie theaters, OMNIMAX etc have that many independent channels, I'm fairly certain most of those channels are outputting the same thing. What would be interesting to know if games could utilize that, my guess is not, but hey you never know. Otherwise what’s the point of 7.1, nothing I know of uses it.
The main reason I'd buy a Audigy 2 is for the 24bit sound decoding, so my HDCDs sound nicer
15.3 is children toys, Keg. What you need is a self surround system. You take one speaker, grab it by the cord and swing it in a circle motion around your head. Sound from every direction is unbeatable.
