Review on Internal Audio Card Creative Audigy Rx by Janis Ziemelis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturer's assurances, high quality.

I must confess that I made a mistake in my prior evaluation, which was posted on 07/22/2022. When playing music, I experienced "stuttering," and I blamed the sound card. After much investigation, I determined that the north bridge on the motherboard was to blame for the stuttering, as it caused the sound to stutter when it became too hot. After replacing the thermal interface for the north bridge with one for the south bridge (which runs cooler), the problem was solved. Maybe someone will be able to utilize their current sound card for a little longer thanks to what I've discovered. My friend now has access to high-quality audio thanks to the second sound card I provided him.

Pros
  • It doesn't matter if you're listening to headphones or speakers, as long as the sound quality is high and the cables are protected. The difference in sound quality is noticeable even on inexpensive devices. Who needs them when you can get better-than-native-performance drivers from the same "google on the Internet who is the author of many custom drivers for Creative"? And take pleasure in the audio of your favorite media. And occasionally you'll hear sounds that supposedly have never been before. This is especially true for ambient noises; in video games, this might be the echo of a character's footsteps or the sound of rains hitting the ground, but in music, you really need to hear it to understand what I mean.
Cons
  • Poor headphone amplifier, the 50mm drivers are hardly driven by the feeble amplification. Yet, below 40mm, the dynamics are sufficient for the eyes, and even in excess.
