bad support
- Pros: it has many speaker outputs?
- Cons: I had problems with this sound card in most of my games. Mostly, missing sounds. the game would play 4-5 different sounds at once (background, music, weapon or spell effect, getting hit, etc) and the card would only play 2 of the sounds. Major disappointment right out of the box. had to turn off the acceleration to use it in games, then it wasn't any better than onboard.
- Other Thoughts: Creative support is horrible. they produced this card for over 3 years, yet only updated the drivers 4 times, and never fixed any of the major issues (such as bad hardware acceleration with Athlon 64's) I will never buy another Creative Labs product again.
Great sound card.
- Pros: It's compatible with Linux and FreeBSD. I love the sound quality coming from this card, and it sure beats the heck out of onboard sound. If you have onboard sound and an extra PCI slot, this is definitely the way to go.
- Cons: I can't fit a 7.1 system into my small living space!
- Other Thoughts: I forgot to mention that the Windows drivers for this card are excellent in terms of stability. No sound issues as with the first Audigy. If you're using Linux, the driver is EMU10K. BSD, use snd_emu10k1.
Meh
- Pros: well its gold and general applications have sound
- Cons: well for games like oblivion the sound is overall good but makes wierd demented sounds occasionally and games like counter strike source the sound frequently cuts out. this is the WORST newegg.com purchase i have ever made.
- Other Thoughts: i plan on getting some logitech x-530 speakers and an X-Fi xtreme gamer soun card i hope it fixs the sound and makes me appreciate Creative again.
