Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with the Creative 70SB181000000 Sound Blaster X3 Digital Audio Converter - Black by Iseul Chang ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm happy with it, the price and the quality, I recommend to buy it.

This card is sensitive to connected cables. When I changed the old cable on the AVE D40 connected to one of the active speakers to a new one and connected it with one tulip to the 3.5 center-sub connector, the sound from it became uniform, and before that it was unsatisfactory. I connected ADAM monitors to the leftmost connector, one tulip to them. To the specified connector of the card, a 3.5 jack, and to the third connector of the creative T-20 speaker (for voice-over of medium frequencies) according to the 5.1 system, and the sound became quite good. I use this card to get surround sound from a computer. It connects both 3.1 and 5.1 or 7.1. If a good recording comes from the source, excellent sound is transmitted.

Pros
  • After reviewing the specifications and rave reviews, I bought this sound card to connect to a computer via USB for five speakers (two paired, one unpaired). I don't use headphones. Excellent sound in both 5.1 and 7.1.
Cons
  • When adjusting the sound both on the map and on the CP, if you quickly turn a few divisions, then the sound, by inertia, automatically smoothly switches either towards high volume or towards decrease, which is unusual.

It is better to switch the driver to direct mode and never open it again.
