5 of 5 Best darn Sound Card there is... Friday, October 17, 2008
Bigbobv007 from Howell, New Jersey  

I love this card. I upgraded from a SoundBlaster XFi Audio. What a difference in overall sound quality. I play games, music and watch movies with my computer and it was like hearing all of it for the first time with sound quality I had never experienced coming from my speakers or my headphones. I have a 2.1 speaker set up and Zalman headphones. I love this card... Best money I have ever spent next to the Nvidia 280 video card I bought. The combo has made a huge difference in the way I watch and hear my media...no matter what I'm doing. Buy this card!!! It's the best in my opinion...you won't be sorry.

3 of 5 ups and downs Saturday, March 22, 2008
AudioBuff Gamer from SLC, UT  
For strictly gaming purposes, it more than does its job. With only slight hesitation I'd mention it as the best for its purpose on the present market. However, being a music and audio creation buff, I'm very annoyed at the fact that its hardware and driver configuration leave it LESS useful to me than my old Audigy2 ZS. I'm rather miffed over that and feel a bit ripped off. But the sound quality, at face value, is undeniable. I'm amazed and pleased by the sound. It's a small step up from the Audigy2 ZS in sound quality, but worth it if you're an audio perfectionist. Overall, I'm mildly satisfied with my soundcard situation right now. After I get my 2nd computer set up with the old Audigy2ZS card to do other things with, I might be mostly pleased with what I have. I still hate that this card doesn't have as many driver and hardware options it permanently cripples my opinion of this card.

5 of 5 Great Upgrade for serious audio person Sunday, December 16, 2007
A Customer from Federal Way WA  
I am not a gamer, so all the comments refer to using this card in the Entertainment mode with Vista operating system. This is an excellent audio card and if you have a serious ear for music, you will find this card to be very good value for money. The card was easy to install. Though you do not have to install the Creative Console to use the card, the Creative Console is a polished interface to control all the features of the card. In the entertainment mode, the console looks like a tradional audio amp with a 10 band graphic equalizer, volume, treble and bass controls and various equalizations for room acoustics and music preferences. The console is a very slick interface and should be installed. The only downside is that the console requires an additional 55mb of disk space. In the entertainment mode, there is an algorithm to enhance MP3 and CD music. I like the effect of generally "brightening" the sound; it can be turned off and on. The computer with this sound card is now better than my traditional audio CD player, so I play all my CD's on the computer. The card is billed as "THX" certified and certainly lives up that claim. If you are serious about your music, this is a great upgrade.

2 of 5 Design Flaws Wednesday, November 28, 2007
A Customer from Chicago, IL  
I thought I did a fairly good amount of research before buying this card, but I guess i was wrong. What I ideally needed was a sound card that would do optical audio out as well as being able to do mini jack audio/mic in for a head set. I thought maybe the 'flexijack' somehow had an external plug in that would allow this, but it does not. If you want to do digital audio out, you have to do a minijack to RCA adapter (NOT PROVIDED with a $120 sound card...what a rip off), HOWEVER, you will not be able to hook up a mic to your sound card because it's a shared port with the digital out. For a card that's supposed to be for gamers I think that's about the most retarded design I've ever seen. The only reason I didn't send it back was because I am currently moving and the original box got accidentally thrown out in the packing process. The sound quality is good..but then again my on board sound (which has optical digital out) is good too. I didn't notice any performance increase in my gaming with the addition of the sound card.
