Review on Enhance Your Audio Experience with the ASUS Strix SOAR Sound Card by Stanisaw Nader ᠌

Based on the results of almost a year of operation, the ASUS Strix Soar has disappointed a little more than completely. In short, the sound is extremely problematic. If a little more detailed, then, without claiming to have perfect hearing and possessing acoustics of at least Hi-Fi level, I noticed one thing - the level of protection of this product from power pickups and pickups on signal lines is zero. Everything is heard . here is a subtle squeak - the load on the GPU has gone. Here clicks - there is an appeal to the hard disk. Here's a rare moment of barely audible white noise - completely plain. Oh, and here is a small click and silence - the controller realized that there was no activity, and fell asleep. In my memory, only a penny AC97-compatible codec on a penny board on an i810 with Celeron on board in the early 2022s allowed itself such a thing. Rearranging the sound card by slots did not change anything much. I sinned on the PSU and the motherboard. The motherboard died, the situation only got worse on the new one. BP? Maybe, but on other zvukovuha, including with external power, there were no problems. Tested on Creative X-Fi and ASUS Xonar. They didn't even have that kind of problem. ASUS Strix Soar is garbage that is not suitable for real use outside of sterile laboratory conditions with ideal nutrition. With such sensitivity to power, all the achievements in all sorts of RightMarks, replaceable op-amps and other whistle-blowing things are meaningless. PS: yes, the bundled software corresponds in quality to the board - the braking and twisting parts. I used to think that Creative has a native control panel with a brake . nothing like that, ASUS surpassed them. The software is especially fun when more than one user is logged in at the same time. Gentlemen, the 21st century is in the yard, Windows 10, and you still cannot write software that can run in more than one instance?! Like a cherry on a cake - when switching outputs, the card recreates the device for some kind of goblin, which automatically leads to the player freezing or the sound being played at the moment of switching disappears. :
