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.

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

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

For years I had gotten away from addon soundcards as onboard sound had been getting better and better. I have a Yamaha sub woofer and Bose speakers and I had been noticing with each newer build I was less and less happy with sound on my desktop system. Weak thin sound finally got to me so I bought this card and was reminded why I bought my sub woofer and speakers, the sound is so rich and full, better than I ever remember it sounding! Bas that can peel wallpaper off walls and rich full sound makes you feel you are right there at a concert hall!

Seems well made Minimalist Aesthetics SBX Software has a good balance between sound profile options, EQ, and simplicity 👌🏽

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

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

Easy to install and hook up

-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.


Downloaded the latest drivers from their website instead of using the CD (something you should generally do anyway), turned off the onboard sound in the bios, and the sound quality is far better than the onboard.


Works perfect with my Raspberry Pi 4 + Libreelec. Been using it a few months now and not one issue.

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.
