Worked fine immediately after installation (with minor complaint: every time we restarted our computer we had to reconfigure device to output sound to the connected 2-channel speakers, rather than the default: 2-channel front-panel headphones, which were NOT connected).

Wouldn't work with ASUS Z97-A motherboard and Win 10 Pro (creator version). Tech support told me the Xonar DGX would work and it's onlyabout $10 more.

For the price, this is an excellent sound card. It is a clear upgrade over the onboard audio, and works great with a good quality pair of headphones. This card is great for gaming. Only audiophiles will be disappointed.

Good cheap product if you want to get rid of static coming from your speakers.

Excellent value for money

Wouldn't work initially; Asus help was useless; eventually managed to download the latest drivers and it worked; still struggling to get the line in working

Great little upgrade to the audio quality of the system. I'm not making use of the virtual surround sound or anything, I really don't have any interest in it. Primary reason for purchasing this is my on-board audio had issues with static on the microphone and a buzzing sound (in-ear) when my video...

+ Completely eliminated static sound for audio recording; + Much more balanced sound output

- Really gross software interface; and for some reason the Xonar software files aren't digitally signed by Asus so you have to give the software permission to run since Windows sees it as a potentially harmful file

Had a cloud II headset that was being complicated, and the 5.1 sound wasn't working. I had to enable the type of sound my headset was supposed to be in the asus xonar settings for the card to adjust to my headset properly.

Gets the job done; Interface that helps with a lot of sound problems

Doesn't sit in the PCI slot efficiently; If I plug anything into the audio or mic ports directly, the card moves out of the slot; Will not work when I screw in the card; I have to sit it diagonal in the PCI, and leave it alone; 2 weeks so far without touching it and I have had no problems

Boosts your headphones sound by a very good deal, easy to install and setup. comes with wuick setup manual and a CD for drivers. Only con that i could find is that, the CD did not work for me and did not install anything, but a quick lookup in ASUS website can solve that problem.

I found it, this is the posting that I bought! Bought it a while ago to fix my problem with gigabyte z68ap-d3 making annoying background hiss, depending on GPU load. I thought it was my gpu, but I tried another and had the same problem. So I swapped power supples, same thing!

Got it to send Dobly Digital from a Home Theatre PC to my receiver. Found that one receiver not decoding the signal over the optical input as DD, but just 2-channel whereas another receiver works OK with same PC. Not a knock against the card but just a bit of info that might be helpful to someone.
