Technology has a wonderful way of becoming democratic: what was expensive becomes affordable, then becomes inexpensive. Performance only professionals could have afforded becomes the every day routine.
Take this PCI audio board by SIIG, Inc. as an example. It features twenty-four bit sound and a ninety-six kiloHertz sampling rate (CDs use sixteen bit sound and about forty-four kHz sampling), with a ninety-two dB signal to noise ratio, all for the cost of a couple of magazines. Add to that the immersive effects of 7.1 channel sound and modern 3D audio technologies, and you no longer listen to the performance, you're inside it. For the karaoke folks, there's microphone echo, key-shifting, and vocal cancellation.
Audiophile, gamer, or just someone in need of a decent sound board, here's something that might be just what you need. Check it out and decide what you need; we'll still be here when you're ready.
Pros: Noticeable improvement over on-board audio; deeper bass, clearer high tones in music; gaming is amazing; haven't watched a whole movie, but clips have been awesome; intuitive interface
Cons: Not to sure what some of the inputs on the actual card were for; the instruction booklet was clear on the rear inputs, but not the ones only accessible from within the case. Card works fine without any plugged in though...
Manual doesn't clearly define any of the "features" in the interface ("bass enhancement" seems to do the opposite?)
Other Thoughts: Using Logitech X-540 5.1 surround speakers. Cons are quite nitpicky for this priced card, a great investment and great results. Haven't heard of SIIG before this purchase, so I was a little leery, but after hearing the card my doubts have been done away with.
Bought Monday, arrived Thursday. Thanks NewEgg!

Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Has pretty good sound in games . I like the surround sounds when playing Halo.

Pros: Sounds pretty good on my (relatively high-end) 2.1 system--quite a bit better than on-board audio. Cheap.
Cons: Doesn't actually support 96khz, as far as I can tell--Drivers only expose 44.1 and 48. Not sure if that's an error in the newegg listing, or what.
The drivers from SIIG don't work on Windows 7 for me. Had to download newer drivers from C-Media's website. The chipset is a C-Media 8768.

Pros: the sub woof and 2 front speakers have good quality
Cons: while the center speaker and 2 rear/side work in test mode, they dont work when doing anything weather its a youtube vid or midi files.
Other Thoughts: this could be a windows 7 issue although im stumpted. i will try on my vista hardrive and see if anything changes. its a shame this problem is happening or i would give it a 5/5

Just Installed Mine
Reviewed By: Rusty Shacklford on 12/18/2009
Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Easy instillation! Plug it in, Install disk and use the disk instillation not your computers. It is easy to control the settings for the sound card as well. It also is sounding great. You have to go into the configuration for the sound card to adjust the sound settings to get maximum quality.
Cons: The only cons are that there isnt a plug for both my speakers and headphones. Luckily my speakers have a plug for my headphones.
Other Thoughts: Only have had it one day. If it stops working soon i will be back!
