PrincessNybor 2/14/2010 3:30:18 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5Windows 7 64-bit support! Pros: Inexpensive, great sound quality, Windows 7 support. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality is at least as good if not better than the old riser card that came with my motherboard. Cons: It wasn't free? I don't know why other reviewers have had so many issues with the drivers for this card in the past. The box I received has a "Windows 7 Ready" sticker on the front, and the installation from the driver disc went flawlessly for me. Perhaps this is a new revision with an updated driver disc. Either way, it never hurts to go to a manufacturer's website and download the most current drivers for any product you buy. Other Thoughts: I have an older Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard that uses a custom riser card for the onboard sound. When that card failed, I didn't want to replace the entire motherboard, nor did I need an extravagant sound card. This card was cheap and got the job done. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to replace their onboard sound, or who has an older sound card not supported in Windows 7. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Roman 4/9/2009 11:21:42 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5Very acceptable sound quality! Pros: C-Media chip you see. It reproduces sound in one of my ubuntu builds when I couldn't get the onboard SiS or a newer Via chip card to work at all! I didn't have to install any drivers or other software to use this in ubuntu of course, most hardware drivers being already installed in the machine with the OS. I had to select the proper configuration-meh. Works great. Can't really comment on the vender supplied drivers-except to say-sounds like a bummer. Cons: None discovered at this point. Other Thoughts: This is the ONLY low profile card I could find-so bonus, now I finally get to use that tiny little micro-mini atx case that's been collecting dust for 6 years or so. Music files and broadband radio sound as good as in my other computers with pricier sound boards. If I was putting this into an XP machine I'd probably let the OS install it using the Internet since C-media drivers are in abundance there. I almost didn't buy this because of the negitive feedback-but heck- but glad I did. Had to get my two cents worth in-lol! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A 4/5/2009 11:41:51 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5	Rating: 1/5Horrible Card Pros: Nothing Cons: Installed drivers that came with the product, and the system now took an extra 3-5 minutes to boot. Uninstalled the sound driver, downloaded the newest drivers, and now there is a horrible buzzing sound whenever any sound is played. Tried for 2 hours trying different drivers and I can't get rid of the nasty buzzing so the card/drivers must be broken. Other Thoughts: Don't buy this card, I will be returning this item like the others. 3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Ben A 3/20/2009 1:32:51 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Card is garbage Pros: None Cons: Card was installed and then system booted. XP found hardware and canceled as notified by included instructions. Booted the drivers cd (looks like a burnt copy with a sticker label) and proceeded to wait the 25 minutes it took to install. (this is a brand new system with nice specs. Install completed and forced a reboot. On the way down, system blue screened with a parity error and now wont boot with the card in. Have tried swapping out memory but didnt change anything. 3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
