Rating: - Not what i expected.
1. Sounds similiar to my Dell Dimension 9200 Onboard sound using my logitech z2300.
2. Control doesnt really work correctly. I.E. Increase volume actually fades volume from left or right speaker.
So overall it didnt really do much for me.
Rating: - Works Fine
I've got it installed in my multi-media box running Debian Linux. Works fine and no problems.
Rating: - Yes!
This card is amazing. The one that it replaced (SB 16) was extremely noisy compared to this one. I gained about 40dB of S/N ratio when I plugged it in.
As an added bonus, it came with software to convert analog audio to MP3 and it also would remove pops & ticks from LPs. This was something that I had been wanting to do, so I did. The results were well beyond my expectations.
Bottom line is - good card, good value.
Rating: - I Can't Use All The Capabilities - Yet
I needed a better sound card because I wanted to digitize my vinyl and tape collection. I then wanted to listen to the digitized version on CD and off the computer. It definately did all that and does it well. It even makes it simple and easy to do. However, the provided software and sound card combination has many more capabilities than I expected and I have not yet be able to use them all - yet. This is a smart buy at a really reasonable price. I give it five stars.
Rating: - just what I need.
I can't tell how better it is compare with my on board audiocard, but one thing I am sure is it is not only a audiocard, but also a mediacenter.
