Very loud, adds definition to sound, I notice cymbals and drum clarity specifically. Install easy into pci e, decent software. Don't sleep on the sound blaster,wish I woulda know sooner. Buy one, you need it for sure.

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

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

I was doing a New 550 M.B. when I install this for the 1st time

I brought this because my mother board sound card was dying and was unable to install an internal card due to my graphics card being mounted vertically in my case preventing access to the card slots. This little device was easy to connect and use having noticeably better sound quality than the original mother board audio before it developed issues.

This thing rocks! Buy it is all I can say. Love the lights, the clarity is out of this world. Best ever.

- Easy setup - Great sound quality - Versatility - Makes games sound amazing

Got this because it's compatible with Windows 98 Upon boot, Win 98 detected it, it installed a PCE-E to PCI bridge chip driver. I had to install the driver manually after, but that's just Windows 98 being bad.

This little thing worked way better than I thought it would!


Improves sound quality. easy to use.


I'm a long time sound blaster user, going back to the ISA cards mid 90's. Loved the SB Live and XF-I cards. When I was migrating from the XF-i cards to the newer gen sound blasters I went with a Z card initially, I hated it. I went right back to the tried and true SB XF-I cards that I loved, they just work. They stopped selling them so I got adventurous again got this sound blaster Audigy RX. The problem with the Z card was that it was just too complicated for its own good. If you have several hours and want to tweak the EQ and make it sound good, knock yourself out. But I prefer the old fashioned works out of the box with slight adjustments to the standard windows Bass/Treble etc controls. The RX fits the bill and sounds almost exactly like the XF-I cards I loved. I had two computers setup and hooked up to the same speakers, one setup through and XF-I the other through an RX and just bounced back and forth between the two on a single track, and I could hardly tell a difference. There are some new features with the RX though, which is good. A few minutes of setup and it was perfect. Very clear sound blaster audio like I expect. Been using them for 20+ years and I love it when they get it right.

I use it to listen to classical music and for playing Quake III and Doom IV. Works fine for my 5.1 sound system.

- discrete - easy to setup - quality sound

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