This thing sounds wonderful ... when it works.
Problem is it only works for short time, then totally loses it's mind and freezes up my system. I can rarely listen to more than 6 songs in a row without total meltdown.
It is much better at ripping MP3's, but about 1 out of 25 songs need to be redone as the encoding causes MP3 players to skip huge sections of the song.
Save your money, buy something else.

The software offers a lot of configuration options based on your speaker positions, strategy (5.1, 7.1).
It's excellent... end of story :)
Rating: - Inexpensive and works fine with Vista
I bought this sound card because the onboard 7.1 audio on my Dell Inspiron 630 desktop was outputting an annoying background hum at higher volume levels. I had this computer for a year and never noticed that hum before recently obtaining a new set of Logitech Z-5500 5.1 speakers. The new speakers are so good that it makes all audio flaws more obvious.
After considerable research I concluded (correctly) that this card would work well with Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I also wanted the ... Read More
