Great product. On board audio quit. Purchased this card and audio works fine now.

This Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus has very Clean Sound Quality and does not Dull out at High Volume Levels as the Creative Sound Blaster Z did. The Creative Sound Blaster Z was a very Poor Quality Sound Card and the Software was even more frustrating. This AE-5 Plus sounds better than the EVGA Nu Audio and even better at Higher Volume Levels. The EVGA would dull out the High Frequencies at 90% Volume levels. The EVGA was way overpriced for what it was and had no What You Hear Software, so no Music Audio was not possible to Record with no Stereo Mix options available. That to me was an EVGA Rip Off to not include What You Hear Stereo Mix.

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

All is good

* Easily installed and accessed * Drivers are up-to-date * Amazing sound quality (Note: I use ATH-m50x headphones) * Sleek, minimalist design on the card in-tower * Usable with a more wide array of input and output cords * Directional sound is absolutely ridiculous. My COD abilities went through the roof after this purchase. * Deep bass you can feel, punchy drums, beautiful trebles * PCIe format keeps the table-top clutter to a minimum, as opposed to other amp and dac combos * The audio control module adds a layer of instantaneous, "analog" control that I absolutely love.

got it to replace a USB dac that kept having connectivity issues. being on the board this is more reliable and does the job as being an rca line out to an headphone amp

- Windows 10 detects and automatically installs with zero hassle - Great sounding audio over my onboard Realtek sound (especially at 24-bit/192KHz) - Reasonable price

A simple and inexpensive fix to loosing the sound on the all in one motherboard!

Comes with low profile bracket. Sound is great compared to onboard sound component.

Easy to install and use. Great sound quality, games or music. UI under W10 PRO 64 took some time to get used to. Using with just no name regular headphones, and still sounds great. Miles ahead of any on board sound. Outside of PC case location is plus.

Easy install. Good sound quality for what I use. App makes setup easy

works great, sounds great. on board broke this is a cheap is easy replacement.

Sound Blaster does a very good job for the price

* Quality of sound * Lots of sound options * Very good design





Needed a sound card for Windows 2012 srv for Terminal Server purposes. Works perfectly, detected right away.
