Rating: - Not as good as I thought it would be
I bought this card to replace my SB live card (which I loved), which suffered a premature death. The 5.1 is really cool, if you can use it, but I don't have a DVD player and the only AC3 songs I could find were the 2 on the install disk. Maybe the firewire port will come in handy, but for now, I don't need it either.
So in that respect, I don't find this any better than the SB live card, which seemed to have a better mixer. I have maxed out all my inputs (being a musician) so I need the ... Read More

This card rocks 100%!
As compared with high end graphics cards that can now be OVER 500$US, a high quality sound card is only like 79$ now. The best bang for your buck!
Although they created the audigy 2, which is still very cheap, and offers a "few" more features, sound quality is basically the same. So, if you have no need for the THX certified or the 6.1 surround sound, the audigy card will be right for you!
First off, the software is a waste.... there is no need ... Read More

I bought this card in May 2002. My operating system is Windows 2000, and I had no problem installing it. However, after using it for 3 weeks, the card died. There was no sound. At first, I thought it was due to corrupted driver, so I tried to reinstall the driver, but the setup software kept saying "No audigy sound card is detected". I've tried downloading new drivers, swapping PCI slots, but nothing worked. At the end, I contacted Creative Support via email. Although I told them that I have already ... Read More
Rating: - On drivers, XP, and other such nonsense
I have had an audigy Platinum EX since right after it came out (it's the same, except for the break-out box), and I agree, the software is horrible. In fact, I threw away the CD's that came with it. The latest downloadable drivers, however, work perfectly on XP pro (and presumably home as well) and aren't bloated at all.
I would recommend this card to anyone who is looking for a high-performance sound card. If you just want something that you can pop in and forget, and you don't care about ... Read More
Rating: - Great Card and No Trouble
I went ahead and bought this card even after reading the reviews saying how difilcult it was to install the software and somewhat expected to have trouble. I have a mid-range system...AMD XP1600...512 meg RAM...Windows XP...nothing too special and the card is AWESOME! I did have some compatibility issues with the bundled software but I bought the card for the card and not the software. I use my computer for my home stereo and have an extensive MP3 collection so I take my sound seriously so I look for near ... Read More
