 idealDec 02, 2007
By GH Lapworth
This card and module are just what is needed. Easy to use, easy to install, easy solution for connecting optical lines to your Home Theater Receiver. Module is a bit large though. Bit pricey but worth the money.

Excellent soundcard, but some issues with XPMay 19, 2008
By D. Nielson
This is an awesome soundcard, to put it short. It provides incredible sound quality, and the external box allows you to connect a myriad of sound devices. I did have issues with installing the software on XP. If I would install the software provided on the included disc, it would all install, but I would get no sound. Finally I contacted creative and they told me to download the driver off their website. Doing that, I got sound and everything is good. Except I now can't use all of the other software that was included, on XP that is. I'm running both XP and Vista on the same PC. Installing the software onto Vista was a breeze. No problems whatsoever. I have yet to find the proper setting to make my headset's microphone work in games.

Xtreme SoundDec 24, 2007
By Felix R. Beveraggi
This sound card has everything you expect from it. The clarity of sound is amazing, and all the controls right at your finger tips, nice! It's very easy to install, just make sure your system meets or, preferably, exceeds the minimum requirements. It is a little bit expensive, but it's worth it. Great for musicians and recording enthusiasts, as well as gamers. It's the best there is...

 Good soundcard, useless in Win 7 due to horrible driversFeb 11, 2010
By Lamini
If you still use Windows XP, you may still buy this top soundcard of Creative. It offers an excellent sound quality and a very useful external I/O box where you can easily and comfortabely change settings.
BUT: If you moved to modern system software like Vista or Windows 7, forget this soundcard and all soundcards of Creative! You cannot use the very expensive I/O box anymore, you will hear a lot of hiss and sound disruptures and ... the worst ... Creative seems to be absolutely unwilling to update their non-working soundcard drivers, in spite of the fact that this soundcard is their top product. The cybernet is full of stories of deceived customers of Creative who cannot use their Creative equipment any longer after moving to Windows 7 or Vista. Creative may not be considered a brand name any more for you cannot rely any more on getting a top product when buying Creative items.
So if you intend to move to Vista or Windows 7: buy a product from another producer. They update their functioning drivers every month, Creative only published a non functional driver nearly one year ago without any sign that it intends to care for their existing customers. I will definitely never again buy Creative products due to the non-existing customers service.
