- Great card for a decent price!
I've had this card for about a month now, running it on a Dell Quad-Core Vista 64 machine.At first I didn't think I'd hear any difference in my mp3s between the Dell on-board sound card and the Audigy, boy was I dead wrong!Sound quality is crisp and enhanced and pronounced, very very nice.I don't have a 5.1 speaker set up so I can't evaluate 3D surround in games, but as far as sound quality goes, the Audigy is fantastic, and it's not very expensive.Since I just wanted a decent sound card ...

- Great for desktops, poor for media centers
There are pros and cons to this audio card alas.
PRO: easy to install, and plays well with PC speakers, up to PC surround sound speakers. Drivers took minutes to install, and the converted volume control allows you to set each speaker.
CON: Does not support true Dolby 5.1/6.1/7.1, thereby making it incompatible with HD DVD and Blu-ray. Optical sound to an audio receiver stands at Stereo PCM, not 5.1. The add-on needed for optical/coaxial sound is seldom available even on ... Read More
Rating: - Gets the job done.
This is a good cheap sound card for those looking to go away from onboard audio without spending an arm and a log for a bunch of features and hype that most people really don't need. I hear a bit more detail in my music and games using this card as compared to the Realtek onboard audio on my motherboard. I actually only ended up with this card after purchasing it to try and solve a problem I was having with audio stuttering using the onboard audio. It turned out to be an issue with my motherboard, ... Read More
Rating: - Great Value Card
I bought this card to get away from my onboard sound of my ASUS P5B motherboard.I was having issues with audio lag and crackling from my headphones and thought the problem would be solved if I bought a sound card.It was not.Installation was a breeze though.
However, I did figure out the problem with my mobo (PCIe x16 link settings stuck at x1) and considered returning to onboard sound until I started using this.The clarity and crispness of the sound is far beyond anything that ... Read More

I bought this card to replace an external box that quit working after several years of use. I have six speakers and a sub-woofer connected to my computer, so the standard sound card thats installed on the motherboard only allows for one connection. This Sound Blaster Audigy Se card intalls inside my computer so I don't have to tie up a usb slot like I did for the external box. The Sound Blaster card is a whole lot cheaper than the external usb box that it replaced. I am totally satisfied with this card, ... Read More
