I bought it to connect the headset to my laptop, because I have an old combo jack that is not compatible with modern headsets. Immediately downloaded the driver from the manufacturer's website, did not try without it. On Win7 x64 everything works without problems. Now I use it constantly for music / movies, and not just for Internet conferences. In simple headphones, the difference from the built-in sound is almost imperceptible, but with good headphones (Audio technica AD700x) it is…

Actually listened to compare my own headphones on the mat. board with an ACL1150 audio chip and the sound is much better there. In short, for the money I wanted more. I plan to return it to the store. Has some pros Many write about white noise when in quiet scenes or when idle. Didn't see anything like that. The sound is normal, but the expectations were not justified. Outwardly beautiful, but as long as there are no prints on it. Although who will look at her at all. Its cons: In general…

of course, once again I regret that I used to sit for 10 years without a normal high-quality sound, like everyone else thinking that the quality that Realtek gives us or the phone is top no, of course . this is a deception of people the elite listens as it should, and the people are so used to low quality that they don’t even notice it it’s the same with conda cinema, we were deceived that 25 frames is normal and the human eye doesn’t see anymore lol . so they saved a lot of money on us and…

So what can I say about this device, the performance is of high quality and does not cause any complaints with long-term use, it does not heat up much. This animal was bought for a bunch of macbookpro and a wired headset, the advantage of the device is that you can use both a two-pin connection for three pins and a single-pin connection for four pins. The microphone works fine and be sure to download it from the manufacturer's website, since there are many settings up to the choice of headphone

After X-Fi models from Creative, the difference is not for the better. But at this size, it's amazing. Lies in the box as a backup option in case of a nuclear war! Got pros: + A good replacement for integrated sound, especially on laptops. + Quickly recognized by the system. + Software allows you to adapt the sound to speakers or headphones. Cons: - Expensive. - When you switch the focus from the program that just played the sound, it starts to flicker, as if the power is turned off. Clearly…

This item replaced another external sound card that had not worked for several months. I was hesitant and skeptical about its capabilities, but I was amazed at the efficiency of this sound card. I just plugged it into a USB port, plugged the powered speaker jack into the headphone jack on my Sound Blaster, and it worked with no hiccups. And the sound was beautiful. I followed the installation instructions very carefully and made sure the Sound Blaster program was installed before testing the…

Excellent USB sound card at an affordable price. By default, this card has microphone/side channel monitoring. This means that if you use a headset with this sound card, you will hear the sound from the microphone. This feature is very useful when using closed-back headphones. However, this also creates a quiet noise that is audible at all volume levels. Without a side channel, the sound card will still be noisy if you have very low-impedance headphones. I've found that the hiss is only…

This adapter sounds terrible even after I rolled back my sound driver and disabled all sound enhancements. The signal isn't clean and it looks like Creative implemented their own sound enhancement setting (which is NONE). My $8 Sabrent adapter delivers the best, CLEARest sound and I'm very disappointed. right out of the box, creating a junk sound. With everything turned off now, I can honestly say that despite the slight hiss that comes and goes on this unit (I unplug and plug it back in and…

The sound quality on this unit stinks to high heaven right out of the box. Even with the best adjustments you can make using the standard Windows controls, you still get the sound of a hollow tin can. While sighted people can easily download the Soundblaster control panel, Creative has chosen to place invisible graphic captcha tests to prevent blind people from downloading this important driver software. When I tried to contact their support team, I found that they had patched this channel with

First of all thanks to all the reviewers who took the time to explain the installation. Yes, when I installed Play!3 there was a low frequency hum. When I followed the suggestion to open the software, go to the control panel, go to the "Mixer" tab and mute the microphone, the hum stopped immediately. I bought this because the headphone jack on my 7 year old ASUS N550 laptop is intermittent and all of a sudden the audio stops playing and makes a loud buzzing noise. Sonic Blaster Play now! 3…

SO. My fancy THX DTS Dolby certified sound card, which was working with my THX certified speakers, failed without warning. Since I plan to build a completely new system in 6 months, I didn't want to invest until I knew what the new hardware would look like. So basically as a spare until the time is right I bought these. I choose this one because it has better hardware and features than most other inexpensive USB sound cards and because I have a history of creative products. Also, it allows me…

I love the sound of a well played bass guitar. Not true? I think all the big bands have had great bass players. McCartney. green wood. Novoselich. This list has no end. Many of today's indie bands play and write great bass. I think too many DACs these days focus on vocal clarity, detail and things that focus on the mids and highs of the music. I love DACs like this which can make the start of Come Together by the Beatles really fun and exciting because it has to be one of the greatest opening…

UPDATE 06/20 I decided to plug this back into my computer to see if I was being too rough with Play!3. $20 with EQ, surround, expander and the ability to add high gain can't be as bad as I wrote. Thats so bad. I use HD tracks, Status Audio CB-1 and a powerful Fluance speaker. I bought a CLIPTHAT HiFi DAC/headphone amp for $14 and it sounds about 25% better. Creative has more power, but it's really bullshit. I'm just disappointed that my review is a few pages behind. I wanted to use CLIPTHAT on…
