Customer Reviews

Great Soundcard!
This card was easy to install, and works perfectly with Windows XP Pro. Once again, Soundblaster proves it's top of the line when it comes to soundcards.

Exactly as expected
This card is very easy to install and the sound is great. Without spending a fortune, I have wonderful sound through my new surround sound speakers!

Does the job
I wasn't looking for anything special in a sound card. I just needed something to solve the sound problems I was getting in many games. I found out that it can be caused by using the motherboard's on-board audio. So I replaced it with this and it solved the problem.
The audio isn't nearly as good though, and I just wanted a quick fix. I recommend saving up your money to buy an Omega Striker or Auzentech Prelude sound card instead.
