Great product. On board audio quit. Purchased this card and audio works fine now.

got it to replace a USB dac that kept having connectivity issues. being on the board this is more reliable and does the job as being an rca line out to an headphone amp

Sound quality 10/10 Virtual surround is a blast - using 2.1 speakers, I dont like headphones.


- Easy driver/program setup. All updates downloaded & applied with no issues - Program is easy, clear, and feature rich. Tons of presets outside of the norm - Blows ALC4080 out of the water. No contest - True 5.1 sound - "Scout" mode to help isolate opponent sounds (footsteps) in FPS matches

Works well ( and I am using Linux Mint and Cachy


Sound quality. Great sound processing. Control and convenience.

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.


Right out of the box it has been working just fine for me. Clear audio highs and lows. I'm using it via optical and it works perfectly. The small form factor was nice as well. More breathing room for my GPU.

Motherboard sounds chips are such low quality! I Remember the good old days when Sound Cards were something we all wanted and for good reason No POP sounds when we boot up no crackling and hissing. The software to control this DAC also makes it possible to switch between my amp and speaker and a pair of headphones with a click of a button no reboot required any more due to sound stuck in one mode. One of the best features though is the volume nob that also has a mute option build in.


Easy to Install Quality of sound is amazing Software to control is not overly confusing, and you can just switch to direct audio.
