IC-510012-S2 New Model

This review is for the updated IC-510012-S2 model which replaced the IC-510012. Disabled in BIOS"On-Board Sound" (this needs to be done). Installed fee. Turn on your computer. Put on CD. Startup Settings. Connect speakers (no power, power will be switched later). With only 2 speakers. DONE! First time works. For a $16 board, that's more than I expected. The software control is top notch for a board of this price. Multi-band equalizer has user settings or multiple user modes. The room environment has 3 settings. A little tinkering and you're done. The sound is 10 times better than what I have on board. This went into a new Windows 7 computer.

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • Reliability
