BEST SELLERS

In Sound Card

Sound is so much clearer from this sound card than the motherboard. It truly is a night and day difference. I have an old set of Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers, and it makes them sound like new again. I listen to a lot of music and the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus makes it sound so good now, with more definition and clarity. Granted i have subwoofer but the lows are punchy and tight sounding now. Gaming sound has been vastly improved also. Nothing sounds muddy or washed out.

- Less than 5 minutes to install and configure - compact ergonomic design

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy

- High quality audio - Can record at 96000 Hz with 32-bit float!

I wasn't it expecting it be this good, the sound quality is really amazing

Finally, I can get real volume from all sites. For some reason, many sites did not have the db level I wanted.

Sound Blaster does a very good job for the price

I love this card, I just got it and started fiddling with it. It comes with the obvious stuff, such as an equalizer, but what sets it apart from my onboard video is the crystallizer and Dolby Audio encoder. The crystallizer makes it so sounds are more distinct and all of their elements are more distinguishable, especially if you have a 5.1 speaker setup. It just sounds better. With onboard audio my biggest complaint was that while I have a 5.1 speaker setup, if listening to music I only heard sound on the 2 front speakers. but with this card and a bit of fiddling I was able to get sound on all speakers, here's what I did: -Activate the Dolby Audio Encoder -Under Playback, set speaker config to 5.1 ; under full range speakers, check both front left and right, as well as surround speakers. Bass redirection and subwoofer gain also sound good. -Under the SBX profile, create a new profile and activate the surround value, I hear all speakers when it's set to 40. Also recommend, crystallizer sounds best at 50. Once you adjust your speaker volumes as described below, keep cranking up the surround value until you can hear sound on all speakers. -Back under playback, you must calibrate your speakers, for the rear and center front speakers, keep increasing their volume output until you can hear them. Reducing their distance is good too, high distance makes them sound a bit mushy, setting them closer makes them crisper. just mess with that part until you have something you like. What's nice about this setup is that different sound elements from a song or video are split between all speakers, which just makes it sound nice and fancy, and sounds right if all your speakers are close, and in front of you; which is my setup. The above configuration might sound weird or different if your speakers are all around you, and if some are further away from you. Also it comes with scout mode, making footsteps more audible, useful if you want to be a total try hard at CSGO. I haven't tried it so can't comment much more

-Works out-of-the-box on Windows and PS4 -Works with any 3.5mm jack device -Sounds better than my on-board sound card
