    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the card. Some mention that the sound was most certainly an improvement to the onboard sound card, and the surround sound worked perfectly. They also say that the music playback is simply outstanding, and allows them to really fine-tune the sound getting piped out to their speakers. However, others say that it seems to buffer and just slow the machine down, has a slight echo, and can pick up noise from other electronics nearby.

    "...3. A ton of software that loads by default that you will not use 90% of it.4...." Read more

    43 customers mention26 positive17 negative

    Customers are mixed about the volume control of the sound card. Some mention that the volume knob is a nice feature, and the remote is handy. However, others say that the remote control on Linux and the physical volume control doesn't work without the driver on Windows 7. The only drawback is that the Remote increases or decreases volume in steps of three, and you can't push it to mute it.

    "...now EVERYTHING on the sound card works, remote work, the volume button on the card works, along with a ui now that comes up when you change volume...." Read more

    "...Once installed I noticed that I had lost the kmix volume control. I went and download Qastools and qasmixer but those controls were rudimentary...." Read more

    Good product with an unexpected revelation.
    4 Stars
    Good product with an unexpected revelation.
    I wanted a graphic equalizer for my Windows 8.1 laptop. The speakers are limited in range obviously since they are tiny. Decided to get an audio system for it and chose this one. Creative has always made good products in my experience as an IT professional.This thing works really well as does the software EQ that comes with it. I installed everything per instructions. One slight gotcha is when you plug in the provided USB connection to a USB port or unplug it, the system needs a bit of time before the sound begins coming out of the device that's then active. IOW, unplugging the audio system means it will take a minute or so for the sound to start coming out of the laptop speakers (at least on my Sony VAIO E series) and vice versa.I also had to reboot twice after the install before the external speaker system worked.And lastly, the unexpected revelation --> now I know the 5.1 speaker system has become the weak spot! I'll probably end up getting a better set of speakers, LOL.
    Thank you for your feedback
