SB Audigy 2 ZS driver is worked! and Windows 10 1903 worked! :D






Sounds fine Fair price Has input pins for front audio panel Great card to replace failed m/b audio




I needed an amp/boost for Sennheiser Game Zero headset. The U5 has boost, equalizer, that has better quality than the Sound Blaster Z pcie. The different modes(audio config) do work well. Not sure if I'll use live, cave, enhancements much, the studio sounds best for my needs. Playing BF or GTA 5, the sounds are clear and bass where you want it. The best feature is being able to switch from headset to speakers with pushing the button in game, where doing this with before would usually cancel any sound in game. Also gives my Logitech 2.1 speakers a great boost and sound clarity. Had no difficulty with downloading, installing the driver.


Worked out of the box with my Ubuntu 9.10 system. Sound is very clear with no background static. Microphone input is very clean. Just plugged it into an open USB port and settings for it showed up in the mixer. I use it primarily for a headset interface, so I can't make any claims towards the "7.1" channels. Very good performace for the price.

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.



- very small - flexible cable prevents breaking or bending of USB connector - great driver support under different OSes (out of the box) - linux mint ulyana, ubuntu 18.x 20.x - windows 7 - windows 10 - sound is comparable with on-board audio (not exactly super great)
