Treat your ears to the ultimate audio experience for digital music, DVDs and games by upgrading your desktop with the HDA X-Mystique 7.1 Gold sound card from AuzenTech. The card has both analog audio outputs for up to 7.1 Dolby surround sound systems and coaxial and optical 7.1 digital S/PDIF outputs for pass-through of Dolby Digital EX and DTS ES DVD soundtracks with 24-bit resolution at 96KHz sampling rates. It also supports Dolby Digital Live, which converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for playback through a home-theater system via a single cable.
There's a line-in jack for recording from music equipment, CD players and digital audio players directly to your PC. An external mic input lets you connect a microphone for recording sound or for video conferencing, gaming or Internet phone calls or chat.
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. Gamers will love the broad support for immersive audio APIs such as EAX 1 and 2, A3D, C3DX and DirectSound 3D, too.
