Comment: An excellent review from some 'extreme' PC enthusiasts. Lots of information, comparisons to other products (X-Fi, Soundstorm, Azalia HD, etc.), and good pictures.

I bought this card so that I could use the coax out to my Logitech Z-5500s. I'm already using the optical port with my PS3, so I needed a sound card with coax. This card works great, and supports dolby digital live so I get 5.1 sound in video games and other surround applications. The sound quality is good, and I haven't had any problems with it under 64-bit Vista. My only gripe is that it's a PCI sound card rather than a PCI-e sound card.      » READ MORE

Good sound card. Can be a pain to find which programs can run it well with vista. Some games let you listen to music in the background and some don't. No patch to fix that.      » READ MORE

wow, what an upgrade from onboard Asus P5K. Love this card, I would recommend this card to anyone looking for a upgrade in sound. A+ forsure!       » READ MORE

 Rated by Blasphemy, March 12, 2008

WOW! I regret waiting two years to buy a sound card to replace my onboard audio! I was skeptical as I only own the $80 Logitech X-540 speakers, but after having this sound card for one day and playing a lot of mp3s, a movie, and WoW, I can say it is a MAJOR step up from onboard audio. The sound is also way better on my Icemat Siberia headphones. Nothing bad to say for the $80 spent on this card. If I had to nit-pick, for some reason the drivers that came with the CD wanted to install to a directory named "EU," so I downloaded the lastest drivers and it decided to install to a directory named "Ðu." I thought that was very strange, but whatever.      » READ MORE

Bought this card because of onboard optical out. All features work well in XP, but not so much in vista.       » READ MORE

This soundcard takes care of majority of my HTPC's audio tasks along with the digitally connected Panasonic receiver. Set up was easy and it was outputting DTS Connect 5.1 signal in mere minutes. It's also set up to pass through any Dolby Digital and DTS streams. Perfect for any home theatre setup.      » READ MORE

I bought this to hook up my Creative inspire 5700 Surround System (Receiver and Speakers) to my PC for watching DVD's play games and the like on my computer. DTS connect is perfect when you dont have 5.1 analogue input on your reciver.      » READ MORE

This is a really good card to listen to music, but I prefered my old Creative Audigy 2 ZS for gaming. Linked to an amplifier, it delivers a great sound with not much quality loss.       » READ MORE

Just received today....what a difference! On board sound on p5b is a joke compared to what I'm listening to now. Wasn't sure if I should spend the cash. Glad I did!      » READ MORE
