After many years of on-board sound and a couple years of faffing with via drivers that are not totally Windows 10 compatible I decided the time had come to get a new sound card. Only needing 5.1 and a line in and mic input that works I decided to stick to a budget model. I have logitech x-530 speakers attached to the card so it's not audiophile level by any means. Finally I have PC, turntable and TV (console) utilising the speakers even if for the most part making the most of the SBX Pro Suite's 3D Surround feature to fill stereo sound through the 5.1 rear speakers in a pro logic type manner. It's not perfect but it beats flat sounding stereo in most cases. Hard to say if this sounds better than my old Via VT 2021 on board sound. The software certainly works better and I now have the ability to run all my audio equipment as I want. I did have some trouble that took a few hours trouble shooting. I installed the driver from the disc, allowed the software to check for updates (which it found none) and after it had finished I had no sound at all. The annoying thing was that the default windows drivers worked but obviously I was missing the creative software I needed to fill the,,, audio to my rear satellites and create profiles to quickly switch up settings for film/music etc. So after a bit of googling which didn't actually answer my particular issue I happened on to the device in device manager and told it from there to update the driver, checking the Internet. To my surprise it now found and installed a new driver. One reboot later and I have sound. So watch the drivers for this card, even if you tell it in installation to get the latest ones. I've spent several hours setting up the sound for each device I'm running through my computer to take advantage of my surround system and I'm really happy with the results. Thank you Creative Sound Blaster, you're still making great, cheap cards that fit my needs. Read full review

The sound card was easy to install in a windows 10 PC - the supplied driver got the sound going but i setup my 5 speaker system correctly and after a few seconds playing music a test showed that the speakers were no longer playing at the correct time. I found the latest driver on the web (i just loaded the driver and did not uninstall the previous version) and this was no better, i then uninstalled the software and loaded the latest web driver - now the sound is just perfect for my needs!

A far more effective and efficient version of the Sound Blaster I used to grow up with. Easily 2 steps higher in sound quality than onboard/integrated sound. And also the first PCI Express Sound Card I've ever bought.

This product is fantastic. It was as simple as inserting it in the PCIE slot, screwing it on, booting up, and it worked without any issues out of the box in Linux Mint. There was a noticeable improvement in sound, compared to the onboard audio. Much recommended, it goes particularly well with a high quality headset.
