Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 USB
Why settle for basic, built-in sound? Your music and movies deserve Xtreme Fidelity. Simply connect the Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 sound card to your PC or notebook and turn your downloaded music into your own personal concert. Watch DVDs or downloaded videos with full cinematic surround sound. Plus experience 3D audio and EAX effects in your games.
Revitalize your downloaded music and movies
Restore the details and vibrancy your music and movies lost during compression. X-Fi technology intelligently enhances the highs and lows so you'll hear it all - crisp cymbal crashes, wailing guitar solos, screeching tires and booming explosions.
Surround sound from your stereo music and movies
Expand your stereo music and movies into surround sound. Voices are centered in front of you. Ambient sound appears all around you... just like a live performance. Listen on a pair of desktop speakers or a full 5.1 speaker system.
Headphone surround that sounds like multichannel speakers
Slip on your headphones and X-Fi CMSS-3D technology moves the sound away from your ears and into the space around you. You'll feel like you're sitting with your favorite band or in the best seat in the movie theater. Games sound better too with positional audio that's so accurate you can locate enemies by sound.
Get realistic sound effects in your games
Bullets whiz past your head. Explosions shake the room. Take your games to the next level with EAX® ADVANCED HD™ sound effects.
Windows Vista™
And if you're using Windows Vista™, Creative ALchemy restores surround sound for the same great gaming experience.
Cinematic surround sound from DVD movies
Watch your DVDs in cinematic surround sound with PowerDVD software featuring DTS™ and Dolby Digital® EX decoding (free download with purchase). Plus send Dolby pass-thru audio directly to your home theater receiver using the optical output.

The card works OK if you're using the analog outputs. I bought it specifically to use the digital output to my reciever, and it will only give me the front LR speakers, no center or surround. I've been trying to figure out a fix for it but no luck so far. |
Excellent product!

Very east to install on Vista and it has been working perfectly for months. I didn't bother with the installation disk. Just download the latest driver from Creative's website, install it, then plug in the device. Too easy!
I bought this device as my laptop produces a serious whining tone when the audio is linked into a TV/stereo. (Though the sounds is not present when I unplug the power supply.) This device totally eliminates the whining. I'm very impressed! |
This Thing Is Amazing

I received my X-Fi external USB device about a week ago. When used with the provided software, it is not acceptable. After downloading the software from the website and reinstalling, it now sounds good. I get all 6 outputs, as advertised. It replaced a Live! 5.1 adapter card which would not give center channel. Now, I have it all.
The annoyance is when the computer is powered off, there is an ungrounded situation and the speakers put out a very noticeable hum until you power the computer back on. I am used to leaving the sound on but now have to turn it off and then wait until deep into the boot process to power back on. This is a silly slip-up by Creative. They should have shorted the outputs with no signal but that might have added a dollar to the price so it was not done. It is the only time I have had this problem in many years.
Otherwise, recommended if you need an external 5.1 sound ''card'' with acceptable features and a nice software package. |
Glad I have it

the convenience of this thing is GREAT! I would have given it a full 5 if not for one reason. When I use it to plug in to my home speaker receiver I cant get sound out of all the speakers. worked at it for almost an hour and gave up. that is going through the optic connection. Might work with one of the other connections. |
