I don't think I have to introduce the X-fi soundcard series from Creative, most of us know that it's an extremely powerful soundcard in whatever form or shape it comes in. The main problem with the cards have been the price as the cheapest card even has gone for over 120$.

Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook review
Creative's high-end audio hardware gets resized to notebook level in this iteration of the company's X-Fi family, which is welcome news for those disappointed with their lappy's onboard audio (which, to be fair, is rarely up to snuff).
Pros:
- Will enhance your laptops inbuilt audio with ease
Cons:
- More expensive upgrades could be better

Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Review
When compared to the graphics market, audio technology has been crawling along at a snail's pace. However, PC-based entertainment is under more intense competition thanks to next generation consoles and home theater systems.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Go! USB Sound Card review
Desktop owners have been enjoying high quality audio via 3rd party add-in sound cards for years, so why must notebook users be forced to go without? Granted, there are ExpressCard sound cards available but not all notebooks have an ExpressCard slot.

Vista and Music dont' go
Do not buy this product if you want to make music. Creative have crippled the soundfont support on Vista. Works on XP, but not drivers on Vista.

Disappointed in sound recording ability
By LarryBoy I purchased this sound card primarily to record sound on my new HP desktop loaded with 64 bit Windows 7 professional. I was disappointed to find that the "what u hear" recording option that was available on my former windows XP system was not available with this card and OS combination.

Perfect
I bought this card to replace my on board audio which was having major issues. Compared to my on board audio this card is just excellent. It has CMSS 3D which makes it so if your in a game or listening to music you hear different sounds from different directions so you can tell where your enemies...

Buyer beware ! . 3rd party purchase
Too good to be True First of all, I bough this from a 3rd party not Amazon or the manufacturer, I paid $21.00 Unit arrived in a plastic bag, not in factory packaging ,no warranty or setup paperwork, did have installation cd. for the THX not SBX as advertised.

What they did with this card was get a lower quality, and poorly supported chip and stick the X-Fi label on it. It's not a good card. Drivers are dodgy and completely non existent for Linux. The sound is OK, but not noticeably better than what you would get from an Audigy SE or something.
Pros:
- PCI-E
Cons:
- Deceptive name
- bad drivers

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook
Creative's Xtreme Audio Notebook is a reworked version of the audio company's entry-level Xtreme Audio PCI card, only for notebooks, as its name suggests. The card is the first product from Creative to make use of the Express card slot form factor, so only works with newer notebooks; it won't fit...
