Only thing is maybe too much hoopla with all the different programs. Took awhile to figure out just how to adjust and get the speakers set up.
It does sound very good!

This is a good audio card plays sounds like a pro. but theres an update on vista with this card that you should look out for. it will play aduio on videos (example -Youtube) for say 10 secs. then it drops, all you get is a very soft bass beat. still trying to find out how to take it off. But very good card for gameing, music,
This is the second Sound Blaster Audio product that I have had. It is relatively easy to use and gives the added options of adjusting for different environments. Makes the music sound really nice. I would recommend this product to new users.
Great Value, Great Sound

As soon as I installed this I could hear the difference in sound that it made.
I love listening to music on my computer, and this made the whole experience that much better.
A definite must by for thos who love to listen to music on their machines.

Sounds better than mobo, does 24 bit 96K default, surround is easy to set up, and it fills one of those cute little PCIe 1x slots.
Doesn't work with pro audio applications - it admits that on the box and I do have a pro-grade card for that, but wanted more channels to mess around with, and to see if an older PCI pro card beats a newer PCIe consumer card.
Doesn't use the same drivers as the other XFi cards, and no ASIO - if you don't know what that is it probably doesn't matter to you, but drivers that are left hanging probably do matter.
Otherwise it's fine, so my recommendation is get any of the other XFis, which will likely be supported longer and better if they all use the same drivers. This was just all they had at the ma and pa shop here in rural Vermont (the nearest box store is about 80 miles).
Pricey for the one XFi that doesn't do what the others do. I figured the local shop jacked the price up, but it's the same.
