The card works OK if you're using the analog outputs. I bought it specifically to use the digital output to my reciever, and it will only give me the front LR speakers, no center or surround. I've been trying to figure out a fix for it but no luck so far. |
Excellent product!

Very east to install on Vista and it has been working perfectly for months. I didn't bother with the installation disk. Just download the latest driver from Creative's website, install it, then plug in the device. Too easy!
I bought this device as my laptop produces a serious whining tone when the audio is linked into a TV/stereo. (Though the sounds is not present when I unplug the power supply.) This device totally eliminates the whining. I'm very impressed! |

I received my X-Fi external USB device about a week ago. When used with the provided software, it is not acceptable. After downloading the software from the website and reinstalling, it now sounds good. I get all 6 outputs, as advertised. It replaced a Live! 5.1 adapter card which would not give center channel. Now, I have it all.
The annoyance is when the computer is powered off, there is an ungrounded situation and the speakers put out a very noticeable hum until you power the computer back on. I am used to leaving the sound on but now have to turn it off and then wait until deep into the boot process to power back on. This is a silly slip-up by Creative. They should have shorted the outputs with no signal but that might have added a dollar to the price so it was not done. It is the only time I have had this problem in many years.
Otherwise, recommended if you need an external 5.1 sound ''card'' with acceptable features and a nice software package. |
Glad I have it

the convenience of this thing is GREAT! I would have given it a full 5 if not for one reason. When I use it to plug in to my home speaker receiver I cant get sound out of all the speakers. worked at it for almost an hour and gave up. that is going through the optic connection. Might work with one of the other connections. |
