The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Windows 11 Pro got Windows 10 drivers downloaded from the Creative site.
The overall impression of the sound remains excellent. I listen on SONY MDR-1RBT headphones.
As before, sound cards from Creative have always been distinguished by increased musicality, because their main task is music. Do not listen to those boobies who scare you with "poor assembly" or the consequences of repairs by crooked hands. For 20 years of close work with SB Creative of the Audigy series, I have not noticed a single complaint about the work of the soundblaster.
Conclusion:
If you want to have truly great Hi-Fi sound on your PC, sound cards from Creative are your choice.

Pros

Materials, workmanship of components, detailed and clear instructions, advanced settings of the supplied software (downloaded from the site). Add. warranty, subject to registration of the product - 2 years. Clarity of work, no failures, freezes, failures.

Cons

The need for additional connecting "POWER P-CI" from the power supply (there are suspicions that it is needed only if an external unit with phantom power is connected).
