Review on Upgrade Your Audio Experience: EVGA NU Audio Pro Surround Add-On - Lifelike 7.1 Surround Sound, PCIe with Audio Note Design by Kyle Miller

I bought this card to replace my old ROG sound card. It's much better in terms of sound quality, but I have issues that I hope are isolated from my computer. In any case, the headphone and mic jack will work until a forced firmware update where the mic jack will only work through a direct connection to the card and the headset/speakers will only work through the case. I assumed the card was defective and got a replacement only to have the same thing happen after a firmware update (that's how I found out). While having to connect to two different areas is annoying, I decided to keep the card because the sound is truly phenomenal, but the mic setup is a bit lacking compared to my old card. I'll stick with it until something better comes along. I also tried contacting support and at first they said they heard about this issue but after the next week they said it was just limited to my computer so I just stopped trying that support channel .
