    Pros: If you want the best sound card on the market then this is the one to buy. Sound blaster been around for a very long time and know what there doing. Easy to install, great software. My headphones have never sounded better! It supports dts for my home theater, which was a must have in a sound card for me. The evga nu or the nu pro does not support dts and is why i never gave it a chance. I upgraded from my old soundblaster z and i am very happy that a did. Cons: none Overall Review: If…

    Pros: * Quality of sound * Lots of sound options * Very good design Cons: Is there? Overall Review: I’ve been using creative sound cards since I can remember and this is probably the best one I’ve used especially on the headphones. I still have older models and it’s still works, but this one takes the cake. I will probably get another one for my other desktop.

    Pros: I wasn’t it expecting it be this good, the sound quality is really amazing Cons: Can’t get the sound card to work through certain TVs Overall Review: Works better if you’re using separate speakers from your tv or monitor(obviously). I am currently using my headphones so I can use the sound card while gaming or listening to music.

    Pros: With the AE-9 you have full control of your sound. -Swappable op-amps -A wonderfully designed EQ -Well though out software controls The sound is much more responsive that that of anything I have heard on-board. -Impressive tightness in bass response -Accurate highs when the EQ is properly tweaked Cons: The amount of control you have over the sound profile can be daunting if you’re really particular about how you listen to your music. For instance, it feels like you need to have a…

    Pros: Great sounding card a lot of options for tuning Cons: Card will not initialize at boot up randomly, leaving computer off for many hours for some reason seems to resolve this, sometimes.. Id explain more if i knew what was wrong. But the card just wont show up at boot sometimes. Tried changing pci slots (this worked once) tried changing pci versions in bios, tried turning off fast boot, tried re-installing drivers after clean uninstall. Nothing particular seemed to resolve the issue…
