It's hard to comment on the quality of the soundcard as the software/drivers are useless. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Tried a few different versions and ultimately one of the following things happen:
- Sound drops out
- Sound skyrockets
- Mic gets distorted when talking to other people
- Settings never save, so if you spend 30 minutes setting is up how you want it when you first install it, hope you get lucky and it sticks.
I reached out to creative who were useless and disinterested - "looking into these issues"
My experience mirrors US user feedback as they have had the card a little longer than the UK..... It might one day be a good product but who knows when.
What little use I had, I noticed no real improvement over my onboard sound (hero ix mobo) and i'm pretty sure if they stripped out the tacky RGB lighting this would cost half the price.
