Asus Maximus Formula sound card

Hi all just a quick question I've just upgraded to this motherboard and it comes with a sound card, does anyone have the same board and use the sound card? I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi just wondered which was the best to use.

I aint an audiophile but I couldn't tell the difference between the two except the lack of EAX. As far as onboard/bundled sound goes this is the best I have used. Unless you make use of EAX (BF2 etc) then I would sell the XFI and use the 'supreme FX'.

which x-fi?

I noticed a huge difference between my onboard sound (p35c-ds3r) and my extreme music, but then I have good speakers.

Does EAX work in Vista?
