 Won't work with Win 7 64bitFeb 02, 2010
I bought this card 4 years ago, while using XP, and it performed reasonably well. Last week I upgraded to Windows 7, 64 bit, and upon loading Win onto a new hard drive, Win notified me that the card needs an updated driver. I went to Creative's web site and found what I thought was a DL button for a Win 7 driver, but the button merely took me back to Support's home page. So I tried leaving an email message notifying Creative about their messed up link to the download. What a runaround! Their site had me running in circles trying to leave them a message! I tried this on 2 separate PCs using two separate browsers, same result. These guys really don't care about their customers. I'll give them a few more weeks to get that DL button working, after that never another Soundblaster for me!
 Perfectly acceptable sound for the priceJan 30, 2010
This is a no-frills, entry-level sound card and that is perfect for me. I do not want surround sound from my PC. I was perfectly happy with the my on-board audio from my MSI mobo until I discovered that the line-in input was dead in the water. I do some basic recording direct to PC on occasion (rip a cassette/vinyl, record some synthesizer, etc.) so I picked up a cheap sound card to get me back in business.
Typical PCI - very easy installation. The Creative install cd-rom walks you through the rest (though I wish it was packed with less garbage apps I do not need and have to skip installation of). My only complaint was that this card did not work well with Reaper DAW software using the standard audio drivers (on-board audio had worked fine, interestingly). I had to download the ASIO4ALL driver to get Reaper DAW running properly.
 Good sound for the moneyJan 30, 2010
I upgraded to Windows 7 and had to upgrade sound card. This card was in my price range and I was able to install it myself (middle-aged gardener-type person). It arrived sooner than expected and undamaged. What more could one ask for?

Works fine in Win 7 -- but don't use install diskJan 26, 2010
I bought this specifically for a Windows 7 system. Win 7 automatically recognizes the card and installs associated drivers. I made the mistake of attempting to install the disk that came with it and it caused a reboot and required a repair to windows startup followed by manual uninstall of the portion of the software which installed; don't do that. The card works just fine when you let windows detect it and install its own drivers, just don't bother with the software disk.

Nice Sound - Easy Windows 7 InstallationJan 24, 2010
The Asus on-board audio did not work on my wife's computer after I installed Windows 7 32 bit. Updated drivers did no good. Installed this card, Windows 7 found it and the proper drivers. Within a few minutes the computer rebooted with the Windows wave. Buy it!
