Got this card installed on a new system. Sound quality is outstanding.. the problem is the drivers are crap. For many EAX games you must disabled the GX mode of the card or you will not only experience constant CTD's you will also find the sound ends up looping and the only way to fix it is a hard...

This card is kick ass puts out a super sound every thing you read about it is true just an all around nice souding card

It took me several hours to install this but I am not holding it against the card or Asus. I have an EVGA 780i MoBo runing with an iVidia 8800GTX graphics card on 1100 watts PSU on Win7 (32) and at first my board would not even recognize the card. Software update for Win 7 would not install, etc.

Easy To Use; NIce user interface; Quality Output

Difficult To Install

A significant step up from my PCI Soundblaster Augidy ZS. Like lifting a veil on music and games. I thought my Z5300 speakers were to blame for the flat sound from my PC but it turns out that the majority of the problem was with the card.

I've had many sound cards in the past as I am a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to sound, but I must say that this card is top notch. The Dolby headphones setting is an excellent enhancement to the listening experience and the 3D software works great in high demand games (tested on BFBC2-war...

Well is is a ASUS product one of the best names in my opinion. Also these cards r way better then a Creative card any day of the week. Also great driver support from ASUS themselves. I have had it for lust a little over a month now and it it doing good.

None to talk about at this time

I shall be short. Tech specs are not bad. Or at least were not bad, when card came out. Dobly Surround 7.1 It had bells and whistles, like hardware accelerated 3D sound extensions. Digital output. It has 24kbit and sample rate of whooping 192000, which is pretty cool.

Cheap; Linux friendly; PCI Express X1

Requires floppy connector; rather unstable inside motherboard

Was upgrading my kids PC. They listen to a lot of music and play a lot of games on their machine, decided to put in a sound card for better quality and (in theory) a little less CPU utilization. This was the perfect choice in terms of price and performance.

Low profile; sound quality an improvement over motherboard option; affordable alternative to Creative cards

None

My greatest concern was - will this sound card work with my xp64. Other cards I purchased in the past would not. This sound card advertised that it will work with xp64 and in fact it does. I have it connected to my Pioneer Elite 7.1 - wow.

Asus have long been a leader in producing high quality, reliable hardware and components. Testament to this fact is that Asus are a ‘Tier 1' manufacturer for Intel's current chipset/motherboard offerings are also among the top manufacturers of both ATI and Nvidia based graphics cards along with...

• Fantastic overall sound; • Very good looking card; • Solid capacitors for durability; • Front panel connectivity; • PCIe functionality

• Lack of DTS encoding capabilities; • Requirement of additional floppy power cable; • Lack of prompt driver updates preventing some games (Bioshock) from working correctly
