easy to install and has front hdaudio plug so I didn't loose my front audio jack

I was doing a New 550 M.B. when I install this for the 1st time

Im not an audiophile, but the improvement in sound in Stalker 2 was disturbingly better.


Sound Quality Build Quality Portable

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy


- Easy setup - Great sound quality - Versatility - Makes games sound amazing

Comes with low profile bracket. Sound is great compared to onboard sound component.

- Quick and easy driver software installation. - Driver software includes extras for bass-boosting and other enhancements like an equalizer. - Quality is good. Games such as Halo Reach sound as expected with this sound card.


This card is great. It gives beautiful playback quality and with the handy pci-e interface it makes it a nice fit into the system. I have owned this card since around the time it came out and it hasn't failed me.

My Logitech 5.1 surround sound system with the triple color audio cable stopped working. I tried everything. Windows was showing visually that there was sound and the system would hiss during the self-test so I figured I had a sound card issue. Ordered the and slipped it into my rig and awesome sound! Very happy.


Very loud, adds definition to sound, I notice cymbals and drum clarity specifically. Install easy into pci e, decent software. Don't sleep on the sound blaster,wish I woulda know sooner. Buy one, you need it for sure.
