Great product. On board audio quit. Purchased this card and audio works fine now.

This Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus has very Clean Sound Quality and does not Dull out at High Volume Levels as the Creative Sound Blaster Z did. The Creative Sound Blaster Z was a very Poor Quality Sound Card and the Software was even more frustrating. This AE-5 Plus sounds better than the EVGA Nu Audio and even better at Higher Volume Levels. The EVGA would dull out the High Frequencies at 90% Volume levels. The EVGA was way overpriced for what it was and had no What You Hear Software, so no Music Audio was not possible to Record with no Stereo Mix options available. That to me was an EVGA Rip Off to not include What You Hear Stereo Mix.

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

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

* 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.

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

-Shipped in one piece and on-time -Makes my mic sound clearer/louder, which is what I was hoping it would do.

All is good

This little thing worked way better than I thought it would!

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.

A simple and inexpensive fix to loosing the sound on the all in one motherboard!

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.

I bought it to install on an old computer because the built-in sound card no longer worked. The sound quality is okay but not as good as the PCI-e version I also bought. It also comes with a driver disk.

- works in Ubuntu 20.04 without additional drivers. - The headphone jack also supports a TRRS headset with mic as well so you don't need to buy a 1 to 2 jack adapter to use this card. - sports a type A connector

It usually takes me a very long time to actually buy something these days. I'll check reviews for hours and still not buy the item if there's negative critiques, even when most are positive. In this case this is coming from personal opinion all specs aside. This little box is pretty good... I'm surprised at it's performance straight out of the box. I usually believe you get what you pay for but this time just a little more than I expected. It took kinda long for shipping but nothing like (wish) and it may just be me I have expectations from newegg (awesome shipping). If you need a better sound solution than the current #@#$ you got than this is a great buy!!!

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.
