The Sound Blaster Audigy SE sound card is designed to enhance your PC music, movie, and gaming experience at an affordable price. An easy upgrade for your desktop's integrated sound, the card's audio processor with Creative's CMSS technology is able to remix your stereo audio into surround sound—even through stereo headphones.

EAX Advanced HD 3.0 further improves game audio tracks providing a more immersive experience.

SpaceRevolver 6/12/2013 1:40:58 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Good deal Pros: Easy install, good software, works as advertised. Cons: The inputs are misleading in color (Possibly the headset I use as well but I'm pretty positive it's not). They are slightly non-standard so it can be confusing. Not a big deal, it just can be time consuming since you have to restart each time you try a different setup. Other Thoughts: For the price, this is a solid buy. Did you find this review helpful?

AskAlthea 6/8/2013 10:41:31 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Great basic sound card Pros: Inexpensive Easy to install Work as it should Simple Cons: No cons Other Thoughts: Use this basic card over and over in system builds. It provides great sound (with good speakers...lol) at a fantastic price. Easy downloads from nVidia so save a lot with OEM pricing. It just plain works. When Asus MOBOs have sound card in the wrong place causing static and all sorts of headaches, use this and disable their sound device. Did you find this review helpful?

HF 5/30/2013 8:50:17 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Works good Pros: Works great. Software is easy to use. Is small and doesn't require much thought to use Cons: Had some issues with some games, probability on the games end but it cause the voices to only be heard if you are facing the character that is speaking at an odd angle, but this was fixed by changing from 7.1 channel to headset channeling. Other Thoughts: Didn't come with a drivers disk so if it wasn't for the fact a had one from another sound card i wouldn't have been able to use it. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Closet Geek 5/17/2013 11:09:50 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Tis good Pros: Easy PCI install, Win7 identified it and installed drivers right off the bat. I installed the current ones from Creative though anyway for the additional features. Again, no problems with Win764 Ultimate. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Needed a card when the onboard audio started to fail. Card works perfectly. Son enjoys the benefits the card gives him in gaming. Much improved sound quality and audio effects in games. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Dataman 5/13/2013 4:32:03 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5SE Card Messed up My win7 64 Pros: Inexpensive, arrived fast great Newegg service Cons: After installation my Win7 64 began freezing. Removal of card and drivers did not help. My on-board sound sytem (Asus P6T deluxe V2) now hums. I read some bad reviews of the Sound Blaster but did not believe that it could be this bad. Other Thoughts: Looking for possible conflict of some drivers. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/9/2013 11:11:08 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 5/5Works Great Pros: Good Quality. Software has easy navigation. My Gamecon headsets mic is picked up excellently. My voice is perfectly clear, no lag. Have a surround sound set up in my room with the Sony SA-VA15 towers. 10+ Speakers total + 2 Subs. Sounds beautiful. Cons: None, so far. Hopefully never! Other Thoughts: Great for its price! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
JongThrill 4/24/2013 4:14:58 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5bada bing $10 sing Pros: got it $10 + $2.99 shipping works. but forgot the computer I put it in was SLIM low profile. oh well, was already being used with side panel off due to heat problems, so worked out better than onboard sound. ez install. Cons: none. Other Thoughts: download the latest drivers first. never use drivers on disc 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Farkomeister 4/19/2013 7:00:48 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great sound card for a good price Pros: -Cheap -Great sound -Works amazingly well with my Yamaha RX-v673 and Klipsch speakers 7.1 channel setup. -Drivers automatically installed on Win 7 64-bit I really don't understand all the complaints - the drivers are built into Win 7 or can be downloaded from Win update. Don't buy this card for the software - buy it for the sound. Cons: -Only 4 outputs, so using it for a 7.1 or 5.1 setup directly would be a pain -OEM, so bad packaging and no disc, but didn't need it anyway. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/17/2013 6:49:33 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Cheap upgrade from onboard audio. Pros: Good sound card for the price. (Was on sale for $10) Cons: None Other Thoughts: I'm seeing a lot of reviews saying it comes with no box or instructions. That's because it's OEM! Download the (latest) drivers from here http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&CatName=Sound%20Blaster&subCatID=205&subCatName=Audigy&prodID=14257&prodName=Sound%20Blaster%20Audigy%20SE&bTopTwenty=1&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_14257,VARSET=CategoryID:1 For those unfamiliar with using sound cards, be sure to set it as your default playback device by right clicking the speaker icon in the task bar and clicking Playback Devices. Then select the one that says Speakers SB Audigy and hit Set Default. To get the most out of your sound card, hit the Properties button with your still selected playback device and go to the Advanced Tab. Changed the Default Format to 24 bit, 96000 Hz (Studio Quality). I wouldn't recommend enabling Sound Blaster enhancements because it can distort sounds such as the mouse click sound in Windows. For those that use an amp or speakers with a volume knob as a primary way to control volume, I would recommend setting the Playback Control in the Levels Tab to 100. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Raithx 4/10/2013 3:01:01 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5it works Pros: it works! better then mobo sound, cheep! Cons: no box with a driver cd win 7 64 did not know what it was had to go and find the right driver from creative kind of a pain but worth it for as little i paid for it! Other Thoughts: if you know what you are doing and can find drivers for this then go for it but id say for novices get a sound card that has a driver cd and is more current like X-FI Did you find this review helpful?
