Battle: Xifi ExtremeMusic ...vs... Alc 1150
Small update just so that other people with the same problem can atleast figure this one out in the future:
I made a specs-table of the most common alc chips and my Creative Xi FI Extreme Music (2007) and asked around how to interpret these values in a practical way. The answer I got was that the easiest way of comparing soundchips is "static" and "distortion", The differences in other values are less noticeable most of the time. This means that an 9 year old Extreme Xi-Fi Music is better then every alc chip. The 1150alc specs are quite comparable to the Extreme Music specs, but the Xi-Fi does all the calculations itself (less load for the cpu to handle) and you get some analog connectors, surround sound, flexiujacks and EQ settings to boot.
TLDR: It is worth it to install a Soundcard from 2007 even if you have the newest alc1150 onboard sound.
Small edit: Sorry for being a jackass but i asked on almost every forum and got jackshit answers which was very frustrating. Atleast we now know what the answer could be.
Have a nice day.
