Avis sur le produitCreative Sound Blaster X-Fi PCI Express x1 (70SB088600002) Sound Card

Excellent card...

...BUT: If you are running Windows 7 64 bit, you will NOT be able to use any of the EQs or useful Creative software. I am very experienced with computers, and I have tried everything to fix the problem. The issue is that Creative has yet to make a patch for Win7 64 bit, and even though they know about the problem, they don't seem to be doing anything about it. Apparently some people have got other X-Fi cards to work, but it's hit or miss really.

The card itself sounds great...but ONLY get this if you don't have Windows 7, or you don't care about actually being able to do anything useful with it.Lire l'avis complet...

Awesome controls and easy install

This replaced a previous sound card going on the fritz (because someone (me) tripped over the speaker cord while it was plugged in. Although the card wasn't completely done for, it was giving off static noise and then cutting in and not of one speaker. Enter this sound card:

Pros:
- Normal/easy install.
- Software to run EAX on older games
- No popping/driver issues so far (Win7 64bit)

Cons:
- I never liked the Fatal1ty brand logo.

Although you read about many people having issues with Creative drivers and whatnot, I have yet to have an issue with drivers. Make sure you download the latest drivers and you should be fine.Lire l'avis complet...

Excellent Audio Quality, PCI-X, Digital Connections

Creative was really looking to only cater to certain crowds by restricting the higher end cards to Optical Digital connections. Although the price on this card is a bit steep the audio quality is phenomenal.

Pros: uses PCI-X slot so it sits above my GPU and isn't in the way of SLI/CrossFire, really compact size (only ~4" long), TOSLink Optical Digital in and out right on the card, Full Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) driver and application support

Cons: Creative's software and driver packages are really where their audio cards fall short. Support is there for Windows 7, but uninstalling/reinstalling their drivers is a hassle if you're upgrading from another Creative card. Price is still pretty steep because they own the aftermarket audio-card market.

Other Info: I upgraded my Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty card to this one. I wanted to have a digital connection from my PC to my receiver and 5.1 Polk Audio surround system and the XtremeGamer doesn't have TOSLink Optical connections. The sound quality between the two cards is nearly identical, however this card has full support for Dolby Digital Live and DTS encoders. Which will use a constant digital signal from the card to your Receiver without any quality loss and keeping the channels fully independent. Beware, however; TOSLink only supports up to 5.1, for those of you with 7.1 systems.Lire l'avis complet...

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi

Muy bien acabada. Embalaje y hardware correcto, pero el software es mejorable. El software es poco intuitivo casi prefiero el de la soundblaster 5.1 live que tenía anteriormente, utilizo las dos conexines, la analógica para unos altavoces simples y la digital para un amplificador HomeCinema y el simple hecho de elegir unos altavoces un otros es un coñazo.Lire l'avis complet...

Amazing Sound

Works beautifully. Fantastic sound (connected to a fantastic speaker system, of course). LOVE Creative's products; my umpteenth Sound Blaster card as I upgrade regularly. HIGHLY recommend, especially at ebay prices. Not the top of the line card anymore, but it's still just as fantastic as when it was at the top a year prior to my purchase.Lire l'avis complet...

Catholic Priests are evil

I like it... alot. I mean alot. Really, I like it. You know I have to have 100 characters so really... I like it. No really, I like it. It is a good sound card. Catholic priests need to keep their hands of the children. Because that is sick and the vatican should not protect these evil pieces of crap. They should be castrated and publically humiliated. THink that is enough characters? Oh yeah, the card is good.Lire l'avis complet...

Wonderful value

This card when it was still sold was to of the line and it still is! The only problem was how expensive it was. Buying it used is a great value. I have not experienced any issues and am currently running on the latest X-Fi support/driver pack from Daniel Kawakami.Lire l'avis complet...
