I bought it as a plug for a very noisy ALC3204 in a dell laptop. Itself on Cmedia CM6533 + HT97220. So from creative here only the design of the board, and judging by the presence of many diodes (buzzing noises?) Not bad. 7.1 and 5.1 are purely software effects (well, what else was expected). Well, it's a good stereo card, but perhaps it's better to look at the DACs instead.
