Nice card
- Pros: Great price, nice options. I can fill my room with sound!
- Cons: My 7.1 Audigy card came with Creative Media Source
3.20.79. There was no documentation in the OEM version. The program
was missing the EAX feature altogether, so it was only playing on three speakers. I checked the download page at Creative and got Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.21. It still didn't have
the EAX buttons, but once I installed Creative Sound
Blaster Audigy SE and Audigy Value Driver 01.04.0061
and Creative Basic Audio Suite the buttons for EAX showed up, and I could enable the CMSS and adjust the speaker settings.Now my 7.1 system plays through all 8 speakers.
Nice Card, After a few problems
- Pros: Big improvement over the onboard sound, inexpensive.
- Cons: No manual, but one is available on Creative site along with the updated drivers.
- Other Thoughts: Installed this card on a AMD dual core running WIN Media Center with a modest 2.1 sound system. The result was stuttering sound AND video. Uninstalled card and drivers and reinstalled in a different slot. Bingo, it worked.
Much cleaner bass and greater depth of sound. Be sure to disable onboard sound in your BIOS before insalling card.

Horrible product
- Pros: Gives good sound for movies/games
- Cons: DOES NOT WORK WITH MIC INPUTS
If your using this for gaming for ventrilo/teamspeak your s.o.l guys this item does not work for mic and has been know to not work.
Good budget card
- Pros: Good card, installed smoothly, great price
- Cons: None
Terrible S/N
- Pros: It works.
- Cons: I wanted to use it with headphones through a homemade amplifier for transcription. My previous sound card, the Chaintech with the Via Envy HT chip, was used for this. It had awesome sound quality, but it did not play well with standby mode. This Creative card has terrible hiss, terrible S/N. My motherboard with a Realtek chip has lower noise level.
