Not a true X-FI card, shady marketing
- Pros: -If you're looking for a non X-FI card that uses PCI-e and has optical in/out this is probably the card you want to buy.
- Cons: -If you think this is an X-FI card this is NOT the card you want to buy. As previously mentioned in reviews (that I didn't notice at the time of purchase) this card is really a re-branded Audigy. And the worst part is that when you select the item's specs Newegg reports that it's got an X-FI chipset which it indeed does not.
Not a true X-FI card
- Pros: Plenty of connectors, works with a PCI-E slot (so you dont have to worry about taking up regular PCI slots, which are now alot rarer on new motherboards)
- Cons: This card is not really an X-Fi card. it's a re-branded Audigy 2SE card that they slapped the x-fi label. It's reprehensible of Creative and the reason i'll probably never buy another creative product again. Those of you looking to get the X-FI card with the high end emu20k1 chipset will find it's not on this card. Also, you cant get drivers for this card anywhere but on the CD it comes with (the creative website doesn't have drivers for it), so dont loose that.
- Other Thoughts: This card (Extreme Audio) is confused alot with the Extreme Music card, which is now re-branded the "Extreme Gamer" card because it worked so well in gaming (due to the x-ram and emu20k1 chipset). Creative is banking off of this confusion to push alot of low-end sound cards at a cheaper price to folks who got confused between the variations of the high-end x-fi lineup (like myself). I hate to give a bad review on newegg for a product (since this website is awesome) but i want to warn folks off of this scam from creative.

Keep Moving, Nothing to See Here
- Pros: It plays sound.
- Cons: Turns out this sound card is responsible for 99% of the crashes to my system, especially during Valve games (for some reason) like L4D, TF2 and L4D2.
- Other Thoughts: Spend the extra money (which I wasn't willing to do at the time) and get a better card.
Sound Card
- Pros: have not been able to fully test the features of this product, but it worked out of the box and the drivers installed with no issues.
- Cons: cannot operate my Harmon kardon soundsticks through th card
Good Output, Bad Input
- Pros: PCi Express, Vista 64 Compatible, X-fi Function
- Cons: Very High Input Latency, No driver updates, limited SW enhancement. Musicians and music creator Beware! No ASIO support ! Does not have the What U Hear Function SB was known for! No X-Ram!
- Other Thoughts: Bought the card because it was cheap, but you get what you pay for. when I connect my guitar, it has a considerable delay or latency that will deem the line input function unusable. This card shouldn'thave a line in at all! Overall nobody still comes close to Creative, will be getting the Titanium Version and get rid of this card.
