The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

The card is not worth 5000R in general (for 2022), and it costs no more than 3500R (for that amount it was purchased in 2022), but it is the best card available for that price among all cards. With advantages: In contrast to some other PCI-E sound cards, this one has solid soldering, sound quality, good DAC/ADC piping, DAC/ADC themselves, pickups and noise are not caught, EAX, 7.1, two microphone ports (a drawback for some), and the stereo panorama is not ruined. Possibly the ideal set of…

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

As hardware sound is no longer supported by Windows, I will not be covering it in this article. Soft effects have become ubiquitous in video games to the point that EAX support is obsolete. The card is fine overall; I remember installing the drivers but then forgetting that no ates are needed for years. Hired Experts: I'm reviewing this product 5 years after making my initial purchase. After trying it out on Windows 7, I upgraded to Windows 10 and found that it performed just as well on both…

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

There was creative sb live! for a very long time, and it was enjoyable to listen to the sound coming from it. RX was aware that the sound quality will be superior to that of the 887 before purchasing (one of the most unsuccessful and low-quality audio chips). Even though I've seen evaluations claiming that contemporary built-in audio is superior to or on par with external audio). I paid $5,600 for it (at the current exchange rate; 3 tons is a fair price). I navigated to the website and…

Pros
  • - Audio caliber
Cons
  • - Connectors with the same color but no identifying markings - When headphones are connected, the speakers' sound does not go away - Standard drivers - Price

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

About a year ago, I started using it. After purchasing the ZK, I discovered that the onboard sound was subpar. Had a satisfying shopping experience. Both video game and movie soundtracks sound fantastic when combined with Cloud Core and the Panasonic RP-DJ600. Benefits include a low asking price. Although I initially thought this sound effect would be best suited for video games, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it works just as well in music. Disadvantages include a less flashy…

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

However, if you need to record from the What U Hear source (this is a recording of everything that we hear), you'll notice that the card sounds best at 48/24 with Bit Accurate Playback and 48/24 without Bit Accurate Playback (at least for me), and that recording at 96 or 192 kHz causes a blockage of high-pass filtering. While sampling at 48 kHz / 24, the entire frequency range is passed, from 5 Hz all the way up to 23302 Hz; there is no cutoff bit. VERY VITAL! If you use What U Hear and…

Pros
  • To begin, the resampler) looks just stunning on the card. The card handles the task of playing music at full capacity, despite my having anticipated the same flaws as on Live! / X-Fi. Also, the card has none of the issues that X-Fi did when running on Windows 7. Having been a little wary about ordering a card due to the possibility of technical difficulties, this comes as something of a surprise.
Cons
  • Driver))) The very first thing that can be counted as a disadvantage is that when installed, for some reason, the timbres are shifted by -4 dB, which greatly spoils the impression, since the frequencies are greatly reduced, many write that the sound is worse than on the built-in . Yes, it sounds like this while the timbre balance is -4 dB, but after it's been adjusted, the music sounds much better. Is this another con or drawback? The fact that there is some questionable behavior on the part of the card while selecting 96 kHz as the sample rate. Sometime, the tops go missing. listens to either 48 or 192, the error is fixed. This shows up on x64 versions of Windows 7. (I have, in any case). The driver has a few flaws, one of which is that it installs system files to c:windowstemp, which is not the correct location. I fixed this by installing drivers that I reconstructed. In that location, the temporary files are converted to creaf. Additionally, the alchemy-bundled dsound. Dll is added to creaf during setup. CrashOverride IXBT Bass Redirect on Audigy RX requires certain drivers, which may be located from google.com. Good, it's not buggy for Creativity) This is the only program that truly has to be installed, and it's the control panel. The inability to record a 24-bit signal through What U Hear if the driver's Bit Correct Playback option is disabled is another drawback.

Quality is top notch, happy with everything.

This card was bought from Technopoint in Hong Kong. downloaded the most recent driver from the Creative website and inserted it into the PC. I have Edifier H850 headphones and an Edifier S330 acoustic system connected by optics. Even when compared to the built-in Realtek, the sound was often horrible when using native drivers. From the contact, music was impossible to hear since everything was wheezing and crackling. Foobar was also not very strong even with all the settings. I demolished the…

Pros
  • fantastic audio! all required inputs and outputs.
Cons
  • Native Creative driver

In order for the card to unfold and produce audiophile-quality sound, a few things must occur. To begin, the music must be in flac format alone; listening to an mp3 will "simplify" the sound. Second, the asio 24/96 driver is required to see the full potential of the card (installed as part of native drivers, from the disk attached to the card). The foobar player is what I use, and it has various add-ons that let you resample the 44,100 Hz audio to 96 kHz. As soon as the card detects such a…

Pros
  • Superb audio quality. It's good enough for casual music lovers but not audiophile purists. Hence, the cost is reasonable, given the quality (took for 2490) The sound does not become old, making it ideal for extended listening.
Cons
  • The driver's bag is loaded down with unnecessary extras like a karaoke machine. But, you can opt to set up just the driver if you like.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

The audio card that was integrated into the motherboard started to malfunction and make clicking noises. I needed a solution to an issue, therefore I bought this. Immediately upon receiving the driver from Daniel K, I installed it. Everything started up without any problems, but in the list of playback devices, the new audio card took the place of the sound output from the motherboard. I'm not sure if this is how the official drivers are supposed to behave. If you decide to install these…

Pros
  • That works quite well. The black textolite has a very attractive appearance. Convenient front panel connector placement.
Cons
  • No results found.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

I'll start with a negative: it's been said before that, for some reason, the card cuts low and high frequencies by 4 dB, which is accurate. Whoever doesn't know where the sound is altered, here's how it happens when you get back home to 0 db: Choose the "sound" tab in the settings menu, then pick the "card" option. Because you are out in the open, feel free to experiment with the provided bit depth and hertz values, which span from 16 to 24. As I crank up the volume, the sound card stalls and I

Pros
  • Plus: High-Quality Construction; Compatibility with Any Speaker Configuration, from 2.0 to 7.1; User-Friendly Control Panel; Powerful Equalizer; Futuristic PCI Express Connector; Plus: A signal is read from the front panel.
Cons
  • Unethical motorist

The transition from built-in sound systems and inexpensive sound cards will be unthinkable for the typical computer user. In addition, there is no reason to claim that the onboard video card found on more expensive motherboards is superior because this is a fabrication. Prior to that, I utilized Xonar dx in conjunction with a pretty capable built-in realtek on MAXIMUS VII RANGER. So, the sound produced by good acoustics is significantly different, not just in terms of volume but also in terms…

Pros
  • The sound is excellent, even for users with little to no experience. installation and use of the driver without any problems.
Cons
  • Critical did not notice

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

As a replacement, I opted for the Asus Xonar DG. I was looking for PCI-E support. I had no reason to believe that the Sonar could be improved upon significantly. Wow! I didn't expect that! The depth and heft of the sound was palpable. The maximum frequency for a 32-bit ASIO analog output is 96,000 hertz. True, you need at least beginner-level acoustics, else the tweeters won't be audible. An overused expression, but nevertheless true: Creativity is Creativity. I can't comment on EAX because I…

Pros
  • ASIO 24/96. Back door exit.
Cons
  • The card should not be kept in packaging that cannot be sealed.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

An excellent sound card for those who do not have issues with their perception of sound frequencies in the long-wave radio range, the good old traditions of the early 200s, works with kx-project drivers, the same ancient audigy, but with a pci-e - pci bridge, for those who have not discovered an adapter to Ali and do not want to solder the electrolytes on the old board.

Pros
  • DSP, PCI Express, and Sound
Cons
  • on the board there are no more inputs, and there is no spdif-in.

I must confess that I made a mistake in my prior evaluation, which was posted on 07/22/2022. When playing music, I experienced "stuttering," and I blamed the sound card. After much investigation, I determined that the north bridge on the motherboard was to blame for the stuttering, as it caused the sound to stutter when it became too hot. After replacing the thermal interface for the north bridge with one for the south bridge (which runs cooler), the problem was solved. Maybe someone will be…

Pros
  • It doesn't matter if you're listening to headphones or speakers, as long as the sound quality is high and the cables are protected. The difference in sound quality is noticeable even on inexpensive devices. Who needs them when you can get better-than-native-performance drivers from the same "google on the Internet who is the author of many custom drivers for Creative"? And take pleasure in the audio of your favorite media. And occasionally you'll hear sounds that supposedly have never been before. This is especially true for ambient noises; in video games, this might be the echo of a character's footsteps or the sound of rains hitting the ground, but in music, you really need to hear it to understand what I mean.
Cons
  • Poor headphone amplifier, the 50mm drivers are hardly driven by the feeble amplification. Yet, below 40mm, the dynamics are sufficient for the eyes, and even in excess.

Does not meet my expectations, not worth buying.

I've had to buy two of these cards already because of sound stuttering; the first one I acquired in January 2022 served me well for about two weeks before it began stuttering furiously; unfortunately, I couldn't track down the paperwork for the purchase, so I was stuck with it until I became weary of it. Since the first one I bought was from the 2022 revision and the second one was already from the 2022 production, I opted to buy two of the same. "Hello," the stuttering also repeated (the…

Pros
  • When compared to the default, the sound quality is vastly improved (more loudness, less "hammering" from the bass, and more "playing" from the midrange and treble in both the speakers and the headphones).
Cons
  • At first, everything is good; however, they soon begin to fill up the sound episodically and over its whole spectrum (the first time after 2 weeks, and the second time after a couple of hours) (there is no difference in the frequency playback band). This is portrayed with a stuttering effect, like that of a vintage vinyl record (the sound disappears for a fraction of a second and then appears again, and interestingly, there is no clear period for the appearance of such a bug, it occurs absolutely through random periods). It's very frustrating, and I haven't found a solution to it yet. At first, I was skeptical of capacitors, but after getting a new card (by which I mean the new release), I started to change my mind.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

Because the new computer did not have the required pci slots for it, I had to make a trade for an older Audigy 2 zs that came with ports that were gold-plated. There was a period when 2 zs held the top spot. In addition, thanks to its superior acoustics, it offered a superior audio experience both when playing games and when listening to music. The Audigy 5 RX, on the other hand, can be thought of as a more up-to-date version of the 2 ZS. The tone is unmistakably crisp and fruity in exactly the

Pros
  • Wonderful acoustics
Cons
  • We were unable to find it.

Not exactly the product I wanted, price and quality don't match.

Purchasing something like Audigy Rx, which is at the level of 2022-2022, is absurd. Same DSP as Audigy 2 Value or Audigy 4 OEM, same DAC and, as you can see, identical SNR - 106db. You can find an Audigy 2 Value or an Audigy 4 OEM (500-700r) for 8 times less money and silently rejoice. receive the same settings. By the way, Windows 10 drivers are already official!

Pros
  • An independent, high-quality headphone amplifier with non-oxidizing jack sockets.
Cons
  • Since ASIO would experience additional delays as a result of pci-express (relative to PCI in Audigy 2 or Audigy 4 OEM), real mode playback on a midi keyboard is not recommended (for beginner musicians).

Poor product, the quality is below average.

maybe in games and movies it's great, but for stereo it's complete g. But. and the price tag is insanely inadequate. my plug-in plays with it on the same level, a penny plug-in. any Chinese DAC will outplay it two or three times.

The purchase did not justify itself at all.

I took a card specifically for recording. Returned back. Wild noises while recording. On all pc. Nothing is removed. This can also be seen in the waveform in audio editors. Got married.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best purchase in my life, I will definitely buy it again.

Pros: five years of experience. Good sound for both music and games. I play and listen to music in speakers and headphones, and there and there is good. Has some cons: The drivers that are on the disk are bad, the latest driver SBA5_PCDRV_L11_3_01_0056B is very good. do not install software I just install the driver.
