This product is not what is advertised on the box. |
| This product is not what is advertised on the box. Apparently, in the past, this was a retail version product. Now, the software is unavailable, the user guide is not included, and they offer no support for this product. A phone call to the company left me even more confused when they said the ones being sold now are OEM versions of the card that were packaged in a new retail version box. Don't expect any help in installing the card, using the features, or getting any of the cool software advertised on the box, it's not going to happen. |

Off to a great start |
I have been looking into audio cards for a few monthes on Amazon. This board always rated highly and I noticed other boards had problems. Circuit City had it on sale for $39.99 and I told my wife to get it for me for Christmas.
I had the card installed in minutes, drivers as well. I proceeded to play one of my favorite cd's: Metallica's S&M (with the San Francisco Symphony). It was incredible. My wife and I then played the Genesis: The Way We Walk dvd and it sounded excellent. I can't wait to load DOOM3, the real reason I had to upgrade in the first place.
I have a 3-pc LABTEC (satellites & sub) and they sound fantastic.
As stated: we're off to a good start. |

Great for MP3s |
I bought this inexpensive card to replace the built-in sound of my motherboard because I wanted higher quality output for listening to my MP3s. I am happy with the card and can say that it did increase the sound quality. Highs are crisper and base is punchier and deeper. Installation was very easy and I haven't had any problems with the card. The CPU used with WinAmp playing MP3s is only 0-1% on a P4 3.0 GHz.
A good match for this card are the Logitech 2300 THX certified speakers for about $110, which I also purchased. |
