cheap and good sound. useful for normal daily use.
drivers installation is tricky.
the cd has all the drivers except 1 or 2 (PCI joystick driver missing). for that you need to go to CMEDIA website.
Today I got this card from new egg. I will explain some of my steps to install drivers.
1) after installing the card in PCI slot, power on the computer.
Winx-xp detects new hardware found. promts to load drivers with a dialogbox. simply cancel that dialog.
2) insert mini driver CD. go to win-xp folder, and double click
"setup". It will automatically load all the drivers (except 1 or 2). and you need to reboot the sytem. After rebooting , still computer prompts that new hardware found. to solve this problem , follow these steps.
3) go to CMEDIA website for downloading driver.
http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/driver
select /PCIAudio/CMI8738/win-xp
save it in a folder.
4) go to /devicemanager/audio/fm801-pci joystic controller ----
right click and select update driver. instead of searching CD, point it to saved driver folder from cmedia.
done..good to go..hope these steps helps you...
Inexpensive. Easy installation and worked reliably on Windows XP 32 bit.
See comments under "other thoughts".
Wouldn't install on 64 bit Windows 7. Sabrent's support page says there is no support for 64 bit Windows 7. Had I known that, I wouldn't have bought this card. Driver "solution" on Sabrent's support page doesn't work- Vista drivers begin to install but do not complete. After Vista "install", sound card appears in Device Manager, but it is not functional.
The product's box specifically states "Windows 7 compatible". It does not differentiate whether this is 32 bit or 64 bit. It also states "Windows XP compatible", and in this case, supports both 32 bit and 64 bit XP.
