Review on Internal Audio Card Creative Audigy Rx by Wiktor Niedzicki ᠌

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Does not meet my expectations, not worth buying.

I've had to buy two of these cards already because of sound stuttering; the first one I acquired in January 2022 served me well for about two weeks before it began stuttering furiously; unfortunately, I couldn't track down the paperwork for the purchase, so I was stuck with it until I became weary of it. Since the first one I bought was from the 2022 revision and the second one was already from the 2022 production, I opted to buy two of the same. "Hello," the stuttering also repeated (the drivers really left those that were). Please let me know if you've run into this before and found a solution. In addition, the card is adequate; the alternatives are either too expensive or require an additional external USB interface, each of which brings its own unique fervor.

Pros
  • When compared to the default, the sound quality is vastly improved (more loudness, less "hammering" from the bass, and more "playing" from the midrange and treble in both the speakers and the headphones).
Cons
  • At first, everything is good; however, they soon begin to fill up the sound episodically and over its whole spectrum (the first time after 2 weeks, and the second time after a couple of hours) (there is no difference in the frequency playback band). This is portrayed with a stuttering effect, like that of a vintage vinyl record (the sound disappears for a fraction of a second and then appears again, and interestingly, there is no clear period for the appearance of such a bug, it occurs absolutely through random periods). It's very frustrating, and I haven't found a solution to it yet. At first, I was skeptical of capacitors, but after getting a new card (by which I mean the new release), I started to change my mind.
