Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - an ood peice of card...
It works fairly well in all games, yet seems to work better in replicating music from the old DOS games(with the right software) than it does in new games. It is on par with Sound blaster X-fi series, yet is not better. It does play midi sound better in the old "days of yore" type games like Ultima and Quest for glory(an added feature accidentally come accross) if you want it for this purpoes, I suggest the 2.1 stereo only verison. For new games I see no real difference except the digital interface(SPDF) ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Sound on Optical Output
I bought this audio card so that my PC (Microsoft XP operating system) that I'm using as a media center has an optical output for my stereo. I followed the installation directions (install disk included) and had no problem installing the card. I connected the optical output to my stereo and I confess that the sound quality brought a bit of a tear to my eye - It was that good!

CD's that I had previously ripped to the computer (high quality setting) sounded better than from my CD player. I could tell ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - No pass thru DD 5.1
I made a serious mistake when buying this product, my own fault. Although it does exactly what it says it does, know that it does not pass through a DD 5.1 signal to any external amplifier. DD Live does a fine job with stereo material, but it has no LFE when feeding it a 5.1 source if you use this, its best to feed it nothing but stereo files. Its great for its various formats, but if I had read all the reviews, I woulda purchased something else.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Vista OK
I had to dowload a vista driver for this to run but it installed easily and runs without issue. A decent product



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Creative Payback is a beach
I clean installed Vista Ultimate..all was cool except my sound..the infamous x speaker icon. Downloaded all the web solutions to get my SB Live 5.1 going but no "compatiblity"...The reviews here said this card will work so i bought one...put the card in..blew out all my dust..tried to install the drivers from the CD.."incompatible..what!.." went back and checked the reviews..oic..the CD does not work...let Vista find the drivers...did that...and my Rhaposody is sounding better than ever...SO YES from my experience ...
