Amazing Sound

This card was very easy to install and get running and made a huge improvement in the sound and versatility of my computer as a music player and is worth the money .

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

* 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.

Easy to set up Program is user friendly Great sound

All is good

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

That's make my Arctic Pro two times better !!!

-Works out-of-the-box on Windows and PS4 -Works with any 3.5mm jack device -Sounds better than my on-board sound card

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.

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


good sound excellent bass and plenty of out ports


Two microphone inputs, as well as a separate line-in, in addition to the analog and optical audio outs. Much, much simpler driver from Creative compared to the X-Fi Xtremegamer I was using previously. Even on Windows 10, most of the EAX games I have tried so far have been able to enable it flawlessly. No need for a "mode switch" like the old X-Fi cards did. ACTUAL 7.1 and ACTUAL hardware processing like the X-Fi cards of old do, and UNLIKE the SoundBlaster Recon and SB Z line which use software mode for those games instead.



Helps me record vocals and guitar

IT sounds great and it makes games like BF2 play sounds at high quality, and it can blast your music. EVEN ON MY CHEAP HEADPHONES

Motherboard sound went out and sound card wouldn't work with windows 10. This works just fine for me. Akso a great price and shipping was very quick.
