Sound Blaster Pro 2 - Old Reliable
Pros
Reliable, works with almost any OS, volume control on card, ISA if you need it
Cons
Only 8-bit, ISA, Only one 'out' port
Recommended it?
Yes
This might be an old card, but if you are in need of an ISA slot audio card, you can't do much better. In all the years I've spent working on computers, I've never had my old Sound Blaster fail me. The drivers work with O/S through ME at least, I've never tried it with XP (but who has an ISA slot in an XP machine?). We keep it handy for testing out older computers. It often works when nothing else will.
I also really like the fact that it has a volume control right on the card! This means you can plug your headphones straight into the card and control the volume without using the windows volume control. Great feature! I recommend not throwing these out if you come across any.
