Perfect product for any user!

I did a lot of research on external sound cards, reading reviews and looking at other people's experiences with them. The crux of the matter is that I required a device that could work in two different directions at the same time, have an outstanding sound (at least for headphones of the middle segment), and record properly and clearly using the microphone. I won't go into too much detail, but suffice it to say that I can't put my stylish soundcard scarf inside the case since the heat generated by the vidyashka ventillators will destroy it. That's why I tried to find an alternative that was external. Options that were too pricey were promptly eliminated. Tweeters purchased from AliExpress and shaped like such rectangular flash drives equipped with two outputs on each unit are not present in my automobile. I looked at a few various reviews of them, and I came to the conclusion, based on them as well as my own research and observations, that this Play3 card strikes an excellent balance between its reasonable price and its high level of performance. I am going to quickly mark a significant number of reviews either here on the market or on online retailers' websites. If you turn on headphones in Realtek on the motherboard and then turn on this card and you don't hear a difference, either the headphones are too cheap to transmit it or you are not at all finicky about the audio frequencies that are being transmitted. And you need to check it in this way: take a sound that was expertly produced, preferably in Flac format, and listen to it through headphones with at least the middle part turned up. To put it simply, a regular player. Connect the soundcard to the system, and allow yourself to become engulfed in the vibrations of the music. Yeah right . Once the system is installed, the feelings are identical to those produced by high-end, pricey hi-fi players. I will forewarn you that I do not support creative software. This is not the first time that I have come across it, and it has always left me feeling too confused, and in my opinion, it degrades the quality of the sound. This is not an exception; the built-in driver in Windows 10 enables you to produce excellent sound and to record noise-free audio from the microphone. I didn't find any noise during my testing. Only when the wind is checked does the noise in the microphone become audible. It is better for me to throw it away, as well as a short wire of 8 centimeters that is inflexible - a strange decision, hanging from the back. The price for it could be lower, the software from the creative could be better, it doesn't help at all, and it doesn't help anyone else, either. And in terms of the card's quality, it satisfied me above my reasonable expectations, and believe me, my hearing is excellent and has been improved after many new ones. sound cards: This card absolutely decimates the competition, with the possible exception of the already pricey category.

Pros
  • Everything is wonderful, with the exception of (in shortcomings). There is a cutting-edge processing chip located here, and the wiring within Creative's facilities has always been of a very high quality.
Cons
  • Pricing, inflexibility of the wire, shortness and discomfort of the wire, only two budget outputs, lack of digital sound output, and revolting software produced by the artist itself.
