What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

I bought it mainly for games, since in the same PUBG I didn’t always hear steps. I just didn’t take into account one moment when buying - I now have A4tech Bloody G501 headphones with a built-in sound card and a USB connection, i. E. they cannot use this new sound card. I found my old Phillips headphones, connected to the purchased card. I did not notice any special differences in music and video, in games there is more surround sound (although it may just seem so). I ordered new headphones for myself, Asus Orion, there is a separate profile for them, perhaps it will be better with them, besides, the Bloody G501 has also suffered from my son and needs to be replaced.
So far, I'm rather upset with the purchase of a sound card for 6200.

Pros

- Clear, loud sound - More surround sound in games. In the same PUBG, steps, shots have become more clearly audible, although it is not entirely clear where the sound comes from - I did not notice any interference or extraneous noise

Cons

- High price - After reading reviews about pickups from other inhabitants of the system unit, I decided to plug this card into the farthest slot from the video card, for me it turned out to be the second PCI-E x16 slot. As a result, some wild lags began in the system. Since the motherboard is old, I decided that it could not pull both x16 slots at the same time, so I moved it to a free x1 slot. The brakes have decreased, but the Aero interface in Windows 7 still cannot work, I changed it to the classic one. Power supply for 650 W, the power should be enough with a margin. I do not quite understand what the problem is, perhaps the curves of the driver
