Customer Review: This card sucks. Don't Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
This card has a known issue with many motherboards. When i purchased this product I had an msi k7n2 motherboard. this card installed fine but upon restart "found new hardware" icon popped up. I thought somehthing was wrong with my motherboard. So i went out and bought a new motherboard and processor. this time an msi k8n neo2 but to no avail. This card still does the same thing.
If you doubt me go and check creative support site. There are hundereds of people out there with the same problem.
DO NOT BUY.
Customer Review: Good hardware spoiled by bad drivers
Summary: 2 Stars
The Creative drivers are dreadful. Even the signed Creative Inc drivers crashed my brand new clean Vista x64 installation. Do a web search on "ha20x2k.sys BSOD" and you'll see all the users who had the dreaded "Blue Screen of Death" from these drivers. I've had to disable much of the functionality and use just the generic Microsoft WHQL drivers. I won't ever buy another Creative product again. As enticing as their hardware features are, their poor driver quality just ruins everything.
Customer Review: great for games and ASIO support is good too
Summary: 4 Stars
I needed a gaming card and one with ASIO support for home based recording. All my music hardware is USB based and I've got 7ms or less of latency with all of them. This includes an Axiom 61 midi controller keyboard, Guitar Rig 3 software edition without their Rig Control unit, and Line 6 Toneport UX2. So far I'm totally satisfied and don't expect to have to buy a 'pro quality' soundcard which is BIG bucks. All my games sound great. Highly recommended for at home musicians and gamers.Customer Review: Average sound card, definately not extreme
Summary: 2 Stars
I already had a creative B100 Digital 5.1 card that had great sound, but because I love to advance my gaming experience I believed the hipe on this card. It is no extreme sound gaming card and does not let you hear the "footsteps" in says you can hear while in stealth mode. I see no differnce in this card and my B100 except the consoles offer more adjustments, which make little or no difference anyway. This card did not perform as adverstised.Customer Review: Great Card
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this card to upgrade from my on board sound card. Mainly I did this to help reduce interference and increase my fps on my games. The card sounds great, installation was easy and the volume panel allows you to customize your sound between games and entertainment. The panel has lots of options including bass redirection and EAX: eFFECTS. Great card for a good price especially if you have 5.1 surround sound or better. Worth the money.
