Most Critical Review

Doesn't work for me

AuzenTech  X-Raider 7.1 Channels 24-bit  96KHz  PCI  Interface Sound Card - Retail
AuzenTech X-Raider 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail

Pros: Shipped on time and is reasonably priced

Cons: Does not seem to work in my windows 7 (64bit) system without crippling other applications. The sound works, but my task bar does not and I cannot start most applications- so it is a very fatal error. I am waiting for tech support to give me some feedback.

Got it to work

AuzenTech  X-Raider 7.1 Channels 24-bit  96KHz  PCI  Interface Sound Card - Retail
AuzenTech X-Raider 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card - Retail

Pros: Reasonable price, shipped on time

Cons: I initially installed it on a Windows 7 (64bit) machine and had problems with interfering with other applications. I put in a message to tech support and did not receive a call (at least so far). I ended up removing PC Shield Deluxe 2010 and it fixed the problem. Seems to be working ok now.

Overall Review: They could respond from tech support
