So much to do with this card, sound is amazing,used mostly for gaming on P.C,Battlefield and Diablo 3 sound great.

I didn't think it would be that much of an improvement over onboard sound from my Asus crosshair v formula z mobo but I was so wrong. I love it. I bought it because since Windows 10 getting 5.1 surround sound has been such a nightmare.

Easy to setup sound quality is amazing. I haven't used the supplied Mic as I have a external studio mic. If I had to fault the card I would have to say disappointing it only lights up in Red… Yeah I got over it quickly.

Dedicated sound cards provide better audio quality, more features and more stable drivers than on-board audio, but most of us aren't prepared to pay the Earth for one, particularly if we spend more time gaming than listening to uncompressed audio through a ￡300 pair of studio headphones.

Creative Labs recently sent us over one of their new Sound Blaster Z sound cards. The Sound Blaster Z is the entry-level in their latest sound card line and we were very excited to review it, given the sometimes controversial outlook on discrete sound cards by gamers.

In the world of on-board audio processing for motherboards, graphics cards and even headsets, it's no small wonder that companies like Creative are...

Excellent audio quality; Good step up on most on-board audio; SBX Pro Studio processing; Superb microphone

Crystal Voice occasionally digitises voices; SBX Pro Studio (very occasionally) crashes

I've always used Creative Labs in my computers and this one sure takes the prize! The sound!!! WOW!!! Crisp, clear deep bass, my CD's and movies never sounded so good! This is by far the best sound card Creative Labs has made! I highly recommend it.

Was hesitant about buying, because of a lot of people saying they couldn't here a difference between this card and quot;onboard audioquot; . I noticed a big difference immediately! Everything is sharper, deeper and just sounds better all the way round. Would definitely recommend.

A valued enhancement to my sound system enriching musical appreciation.

Works great with Windows 10. A lot better than onboard audio.
