Creative ZXR (70SB151000000)

Fancy box ; Looks good on the pictures

Where the start ; Installed under Windows 7 - OK it worked and seemed good ; Upgraded to Windows 8.1 oh this is where the nightmare begins folks! You can search the net for issues with this card and find endless amounts of people crying for help. I...

Sounds good when it works

Causes crashes at random even while just moving the mouse. Also prevents CROSSFIRE X from working. Had to remove this audio card in order to restore crossfire.At first I thought it was the graphics cards ,but they both worked individually just not in...

Been using this card for about a month now and I love it. The sound quality is extremely impressive, hitting very clean deep lows and on top of that the software that comes with it is very nice. This is a very feature packed card, and for someone who...

The website where you get the drivers from *unless you use the CD) is ugly and not very easy to navigate. Also the wires for connecting the daughter board are very long, which I understand why it is, but for setups where the cards are very close...

Excellent sounding system! Be sure to read cons for Windows 7 below. The separation of the channels in scout mode with DTS are very good surround in the game(Far Cry 4). Very much improved bass on all channels including sub woofer. Cleaner sounding...

One of the most important components on the sound card is the bracket. A formed bend in the wrong spot can lead everyone down a road to disaster. *IMPORTANT if you're experiencing problems of any kind that you bend the top of the bracket where the...

I recently purchased an MSI x99 board which promised this awesome audio with the Realtek driver. The digital didn't work at all (crackling) and the analog was just meh ; Finally dug deep and spent the last of my cash on this. Totally well worth it! It...

If you're used to out-of-the-box audio that just plugs in and does it's thing, there's a small learning curve associated with this purchase

Have been an avid user of dedicated sound cards for a very long time - primarily for gaming and sometimes music. When I built my last pc, I carried over my SoundBlaster X-Fi Fatality Platinum because I was so happy with it. Decided it's been a long...

Pricey I admit, but I'd pay for it again (without hesitation) now that I've used it

Sound quality as expected ; Wasn't difficult to install the drivers despite what other's said about difficulty of driver installation

Part of the reason I chose those this SC was because their ACM and the fact that the mic was connected to that. Their focus cone was not at all working how it was supposed to ; Creative representative clearly stated that music can be "blaring" from...

Lot of connectors, nice mic on the external controller, good movement for volume control

Weird artifacts from the card when using now, the integrated sound card sounds much better

compulsively got sound blaster zxr and glade i did. it sounds great, especially with a good pare of head phones

drivers would seem like it crashed when updating but if you wait i does work just really inconvenient
