In Sound Card

Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

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 .

Sound is so much clearer from this sound card than the motherboard. It truly is a night and day difference. I have an old set of Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers, and it makes them sound like new again. I listen to a lot of music and the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus makes it sound so good now, with more definition and clarity. Granted i have subwoofer but the lows are punchy and tight sounding now. Gaming sound has been vastly improved also. Nothing sounds muddy or washed out.

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

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.

I was blown away by the quality of the sound. It all depends on headphones quality. No big difference if gaming headsets were used (in my case at least). Sound great on Sennheiser HD 599.

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.

Sounds great and easy to install.

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

- It's super cheap - Install is plug-n-play on Windows 10. No driver installation! - Works great, sounds good and hassle-free

It is a bit better in sound quality than alc1200 in my motherboard. The software is very handy for games especially. The most improvement is in Mic sound, it is very clear with this card.

Improves sound quality. easy to use.

Best sound card in have ever had Easy to setup

I have bought two of these. One purchased 7 months ago and one bought for my Mom as a gift with her Christmas bundle from Newegg.com & DELL Direct Computers.

This card is great. It gives beautiful playback quality and with the handy pci-e interface it makes it a nice fit into the system. I have owned this card since around the time it came out and it hasn't failed me.

For the price is unbeatable, paired mine with 5300e and now im bumping really hard, great for games, music (the effects for music are sweet),just a good all around soundcard.
