Customer Reviews

excellant performance - recommended - lowest price.
Bought this to match with Labtec 675 speakers and the sound generated is very impressive compared with my previous soundcard which was a Soundblaster Digital 5.1 Live ! and some basic stereo speakers. Set up using the software and got the latest drivers from Creative with no problems. Music and games sound so much better - neighbours might not agree - but even with some good headphones(Technics) the sound produced is really good. In respect of other reviews with installation problems, I had no problems - possibly because I completely uninstalled all other audio drivers before installation - as per Creative's advise on their website. If you are looking for a decent sound card this is the one to buy. An excellant product + Labtec 675 speakers are superb.Brilliant price for a full retail boxed product - the cheapest I could find in the UK - well done Amazon).

More BOOM for your buck....
I bought this card as an upgrade for my default Dell system, having done a little shopping around for a good deal. I was attracted to this card for several reasons - A) It supports 5.1 surround sound (just got some new shiny speakers to play with y'see), B) I trust Creative to make a reliable and compatible product, since I'm not a computer whiz, and I don't have the time or experience to reconfigure stuff just to get it to work, and C) The price is just about right.
Installation was a breeze - like always just follow the instructions carefully and make sure everything is connected before you close the case - this model comes with a separate cable to link the sound card to the digital port on the CD drive. My XP system detected everything right away, and the software installed without a hitch. There's a few different programs bundled with the card, including EAX, THX and speaker configuration support, all of which is nicely presented and was helpful when setting up my speakers. The 5.1 surround support is just as groovy as I'd hoped, and the card software made it a breeze to adjust the levels, configure Winamp 5 to play through all the channels, and add funky effects. I don't really have much use for all the software included, but I can imagine if you were starting from scratch, or, conversely, quite an advanced user, you might enjoy the various different functions included here. I'm a bit middle-of-the-road to need all the bells and whistles, but I appreciate them being there.

So, easy to setup, easy to use, simmering with latent power and nicely priced. I admit that I was also persuaded to get this card for secret reason D) It came bundled with Raven Shield (and Angel of Darkness, but I'm treating that as a fancy test for my speakers rather than a 'real' game...I'm such a snob) which sounds awesome through this card. A great buy for a lower end user who wants to ramp-up their audio experience without breaking the bank (or an eardrum). Recommended.
