OverviewCustomer ReviewSpecificationsProduct Tour
A simple way to improve your desktop's integrated audio output for digital music, DVDs and gaming, the Encore ENM232-6C sound card offers 5.1 surround sound for your system. The immersive sound is made possible thanks to a 24-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for correct processing of music and game and movie soundtracks.

Installation is simple and straightforward. Just seat the card in a vacant PCI card slot in your desktop and install the drivers from the included disk and you're ready to connect your speakers and enjoy high-quality audio.

If you're looking to create music on your PC, a microphone input and MIDI port available on the card as well. Connect an optional MIDI adapter cable and you can hook up a MIDI keyboard or a game controller. Gamers will love the broad support for immersive audio APIs such as EAX, and DirectSound 3D, too.

Give it a Break for $6.99

white Reviewed By: Discerntech on 7/24/2007
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: The C-media chip provides better than on board sound. EAX works in games. The drivers from the manufacturer site work fine. Great if you are using headphones only like I am. I've had no Windows conflicts (XP Pro SP2). Did I say it was $6.99?
Cons: Come on folks its $6.99 and it works. For people having problems try disabling your on board sound in the system bios. No Cons.
Other Thoughts: Bought this for a PC for my son a year ago that we built out of on hand parts. Quickly upgraded it including an Audigy 2 ZS and this went in a box. I just got ready to upgrade my personal development machine to a second boot of VISTA and the upgrade advisor said a no go for my SB Live 5.1 so I popped this back in because it was on the shelf. No problems. Great. Did I say it was $6.99

Avoid at all costs!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: None!
Cons: Thought this would be a decent value card using a decent CMEDIA chipset. I was wrong. It had better than onboard sound quality but serious driver conflicts that would reboot Windows XP randomly. Replaced it with some old Aureal II sound card I had gathering dust and viola! No more reboots.
Other Thoughts: Avoid this and any other card like this. You'll find some from different brands like Sabrent but if it has EC-SC73861 on the front it will be the same card.

card works with Linux & windows

white Reviewed By: vineyardtechie on 3/19/2007
Rating + 3
Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: works with Linux. I've bought 6 of these for upgrades of P3 PC's, where I install Linux or Windows.
Cons: I don't use the driver CD-ROM because Win XP doesn't need it & Linux is too difficult to download a driver special to this card. So sound is so so.
