Pros: -Sounds are much crisper and sharper. Bass also sounds deeper without distortion. Be sure to use ‘direct mode’ to utilize the best of the card. I’m not sure how to explain it, everything just sounds better! I haven’t bought a sound card since 2007 but I figured I would soup up my new pc as much as possible – absolutely no regrets at all. I’ll never go back to on-board audio ever again! Overall Review: -I’m using 2.1 audio (Left and right speakers + subwoofer) and I had to plug it into…

Pros: This Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus has very Clean Sound Quality and does not Dull out at High Volume Levels as the Creative Sound Blaster Z did. The Creative Sound Blaster Z was a very Poor Quality Sound Card and the Software was even more frustrating. This AE-5 Plus sounds better than the EVGA Nu Audio and even better at Higher Volume Levels. The EVGA would dull out the High Frequencies at 90% Volume levels. The EVGA was way overpriced for what it was and had no What You Hear…

Pros: Sound is so much clearer from this sound card than the motherboard. It truly is a night and day difference. I have an old set of Logitech Z906 5.1 speakers, and it makes them sound like new again. I listen to a lot of music and the Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus makes it sound so good now, with more definition and clarity. Granted i have subwoofer but the lows are punchy and tight sounding now. Gaming sound has been vastly improved also. Nothing sounds muddy or washed out. Cons: None so far….

Pros: Easy to set up Program is user friendly Great sound Cons: None that I’ve seen Overall Review: So far I have lived this sound card. Was easy to install and get up and running. The sound from it is amazing, I’m actually hearing sounds differently from the on board sound. And with it hooked up to a vizio sound bar and sub with a digital audio cable, my room is booming with sound

Pros: Easy to install, Window 10 Pro, downloaded most current driver and basically was ready to go, however if you wanted all the cool stuff too, you had to download the other software to take advantage of its other capabilities. Once I got everything installed and working together, there is a definite sound quality and sound boost over the built in sound on my motherboard. I truly felt like games and music were new, like it was the first time hearing it. I hear a lot more sounds in games I…

Overall Review: Yes, I would recommend this product to anyone using onboard sound. Im no audiophile, just your average layman and this card has improved my sound 100 fold. I had all volume maxed, before installing this card and everything sounded horrible. I could barely hear anything with all volume to max levels with my onboard sound. I installed this card, which automatically had master volume set to 50%, which was still too loud for me. I had to lower the volume from video controls even…

Pros: I now have full control of my sound playback and it is awesome. Sound is clearer and crisp and clean. It is better than my motherboard sound and it comes with RGB to boot witch adds that extra lighting to my system, Very nice. Cons: You have to switch between speakers and headphones manually in the control panel. Overall Review: Recommend it to anyone who loves great sound.

Pros: -Looks nice, and nicely packaged -When working properly it makes sound really impressive in gaming Cons: -Doesn’t work properly (Windows 11) -Dolby Encoding not functioning -Software and setup quite time consuming and frustrating, manual/troubleshooting not much help Overall Review: Had a lot of trouble setting it up with a Logitech Z906 system over the digital optical link, would often drop out or reverse channels, or refuse to use the Dolby encoder. Eventually got it working somehow…
