Great product. On board audio quit. Purchased this card and audio works fine now.

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

-Sounds are much crisper and sharper. Bass also sounds deeper without distortion. Be sure to use 'direct mode' to utilize the best of the card. I'm not sure how to explain it, everything just sounds better! I haven't bought a sound card since 2007 but I figured I would soup up my new pc as much as possible - absolutely no regrets at all. I'll never go back to on-board audio ever again!

Cheap, High quality, Better than my mobos audio interface

Sound quality. Great sound processing. Control and convenience.

* Easily installed and accessed * Drivers are up-to-date * Amazing sound quality (Note: I use ATH-m50x headphones) * Sleek, minimalist design on the card in-tower * Usable with a more wide array of input and output cords * Directional sound is absolutely ridiculous. My COD abilities went through the roof after this purchase. * Deep bass you can feel, punchy drums, beautiful trebles * PCIe format keeps the table-top clutter to a minimum, as opposed to other amp and dac combos * The audio control module adds a layer of instantaneous, "analog" control that I absolutely love.

Comes with low profile bracket. Sound is great compared to onboard sound component.

- The part near the USB plug is rubber. Makes it easier to grip when plugging in/out. - Slim and lightweight

looks amazing. options to change colors or whatever. sound quality is superb due to all the options. love the software, EQ is perfect, SBX effects are nice and a must, you can tweak your speakers individually which is another must. drivers worked just fine, no glitches.

Helps me record vocals and guitar

Two microphone inputs, as well as a separate line-in, in addition to the analog and optical audio outs. Much, much simpler driver from Creative compared to the X-Fi Xtremegamer I was using previously. Even on Windows 10, most of the EAX games I have tried so far have been able to enable it flawlessly. No need for a "mode switch" like the old X-Fi cards did. ACTUAL 7.1 and ACTUAL hardware processing like the X-Fi cards of old do, and UNLIKE the SoundBlaster Recon and SB Z line which use software mode for those games instead.

easy set up and great software. sounds amazing DTS

I bought this for my laptop so I could use my headset. The sound on this is a lot better than the built in sound card



I bought it to install on an old computer because the built-in sound card no longer worked. The sound quality is okay but not as good as the PCI-e version I also bought. It also comes with a driver disk.

Right out of the box it has been working just fine for me. Clear audio highs and lows. I'm using it via optical and it works perfectly. The small form factor was nice as well. More breathing room for my GPU.
