BEST SELLERS

In Sound Card

Got this at the same time as Beyerdynamic DT770 closed back headphones as they were both on sale for a great price. Amazing upgrade from my onboard sound. I'm new to the audio world so I guess take my review with a grain of salt? -amazing sound -Amp can power up to 250 ohm headphones, which is what I have, so no need to look for additional amps -comes with an additional rgb light strip -app is super easy to navigate

- High quality audio - Can record at 96000 Hz with 32-bit float!

I love this card, I just got it and started fiddling with it. It comes with the obvious stuff, such as an equalizer, but what sets it apart from my onboard video is the crystallizer and Dolby Audio encoder. The crystallizer makes it so sounds are more distinct and all of their elements are more distinguishable, especially if you have a 5.1 speaker setup. It just sounds better. With onboard audio my biggest complaint was that while I have a 5.1 speaker setup, if listening to music I only heard sound on the 2 front speakers. but with this card and a bit of fiddling I was able to get sound on all speakers, here's what I did: -Activate the Dolby Audio Encoder -Under Playback, set speaker config to 5.1 ; under full range speakers, check both front left and right, as well as surround speakers. Bass redirection and subwoofer gain also sound good. -Under the SBX profile, create a new profile and activate the surround value, I hear all speakers when it's set to 40. Also recommend, crystallizer sounds best at 50. Once you adjust your speaker volumes as described below, keep cranking up the surround value until you can hear sound on all speakers. -Back under playback, you must calibrate your speakers, for the rear and center front speakers, keep increasing their volume output until you can hear them. Reducing their distance is good too, high distance makes them sound a bit mushy, setting them closer makes them crisper. just mess with that part until you have something you like. What's nice about this setup is that different sound elements from a song or video are split between all speakers, which just makes it sound nice and fancy, and sounds right if all your speakers are close, and in front of you; which is my setup. The above configuration might sound weird or different if your speakers are all around you, and if some are further away from you. Also it comes with scout mode, making footsteps more audible, useful if you want to be a total try hard at CSGO. I haven't tried it so can't comment much more

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

Easy to setup and works great.

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

I wasn't it expecting it be this good, the sound quality is really 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.

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

easy install, great sound. Super great price from Newegg.

Low latency hi-res hardware based sound processing/recording. Supports true ASIO 2.0 WITH live monitoring. Solid realtime live effects processing and "soundfont" compatible midi synth are in hardware. Heavy tasks are not remotely troubling my CPU. My Xonar cant do this. The drivers are solid and the card's full functionality is recognized by all of the recording/DAW software I have tried.

- Works out the box with pulseaudio on Linux - Drives my existing 5.1 speaker set

Picked this card up in 2005, it still sounds great. Its been in and out of use over the years, but I reinstalled it maybe six months ago. Once I found some good Windows 7 64 bit drivers I was off and running. Ripping some old music CDs to my NAS never sounded better. Well worth the money to snag one cheap on the Bay
