Review: Once Again... - Once again I have installed a Sound Blaster card for my sound device on my new PC. Over the years, I've used SBs as I've usually found them to work well and provide the best sound on my PCs. I brought a new Dell, and it came with on board sound and graphics. As I had had some experience with on board graphics before, I have usually replaced the graphics with a drop in board as it gave me the best performance for the my games which I did this time. This time the sound was pretty good on the on board sound. I, at first, didn't notice any of the normal things I didn't like about on board sound. It seemed pretty good. I didn't note any of the issues I had seen before. (Like back ground noise, or game problems, etc.) In fact, the sound was nice thru my 5.1 speaker system. I then started noticing small things. First, some games seems not to sound right and on others I had trouble getting the sound to work right. I also started noting a small amount of background static that I hadn't heard before. It wasn't very pronounced or loud but it was there just under the surface so to speak. I also noted that on high listening level that the sound somewhat distorted and sounded a bit "shattered" unless I turned the volume down a bit. (The older system I had had a SB Audigy in it and although you could drive the speakers to distortion it took a really high volume level setting to do it.) So after going along a bit and finding these things out, I decided to do what I had always done.....get a SB. I chose this card as it fit the bill for what I want. A good card at a good price that has the features I want. (It had to have 5.1 connectively and be able to handle my 5.1 speaker system first of all and the reviews seemed good.) After getting the card in, I proceeded to pulled the new system out and crack the case to install it. I found that my Inspiron case had two slots this card could fit in but the bottom slot was covered over by the GT-730 graphic card's heat sink/fan array and that only left the top slot which this card fit into without a problem. (I had already uninstalled the on board sound's driver and disabled it in the BIOS before I shut down the system to pull it.) I reconnected all the stuff to the system and cranked it up. (I had also dropped 16 gigs of RAM in too.) Everything came up OK, and it booted into Windows with no problem. I installed the included CD's drivers and checked out the installation. Things seemed to be working OK. As is my usually routine, I registered the card thru Creative's Web site and let it check for updated drivers. None found. I then decided to see if my decision on this card. was right. I checked out the 5.1 set up and all the tests seem OK, including the each speaker ID test. I then cranked up some games to see. On Remember Me which has some good places to check the bass and for distortion at high volume levels, I found very little, if any, "shattering" or distortion at higher levels than I would normally use to play the game. Also the sound was much better sounding than before and much easier to catch the small sounds that you might miss in some scenes. Bass was less "boomy" and much more solid. I was very happy with what I heard. I also noted that lack of any background static or other noise. A few other things that I noticed. On my on board sound card, I had to set it up in software to handle my 5.1 system. (That is assign rear speakers and the woofer and middle speakers to the mic in and aux in ports on the MB. This seemed to be being done in software by loading an extra driver to handle this items above the normal driver the on board sound processor would normally use. This is OK, but in my experience, it's better to have hardware ports that are fixed to handle this as the SB Audigy's ports on the card. When I first looked at the memory set up with the on board sound, there were five sound driver items loaded. It seemed that maybe these were aimed at provide what the 5.1 speaker system needed to work right. After installing the new SB card, I noted only two sound card loads and one of those was fore the new SB software that was included with the card and might be able to be disabled if you decided not to use it! So much less memory to enable your 5.1 sound it appeared. The last things I noted which I found interesting was that the chipset of this card was the same brand as the on board sound but the difference in the way they sounded sure easy to hear! This card is a very good purchase if you want to upgrade your sound a bit and not spend an arm and a leg doing it. A good buy! 3/6/16: Update: Rec'd second card of this type and it's as good as the first, but there were a few things on this one that sort of put me off. First, no outer shrink wrap on box as is normally the case on new cards. Second, when card's box was opened, I found that the small slot cover adapter package had been opened. And third, safety anti-static bag of the card itself had been opened and resealed by a piece of tape. These items would indicate to me that this card was opened and removed from the package and was not a factory sealed new card. I have no problem with the card itself as it works great, but if it is sold as a NEW card then it should have not been previously opened and should have the all the factory sealing in tact. It would seem to me that would fit under the classification of a used card rather then new.
Review: Huge improvement over onboard audio for both gaming and music! - I recently set up a gaming room, so I was finally able to set up my surround sound properly. I'd been using the spdif out on my motherboard. It's a 2013 MSI board so it was a little long in the tooth. The spdif stereo signal I had been using when I didn't have the room to set up for surround was fine, I had completely reasonable sound. My AV receiver is also a little older, thankfully from a time when analog 5/7.1 inputs weren't confined to the higher end gear like they are now. Anyway, I was totally pumped to finally have access to uncompressed surround sound! Only.... The sound was very weak, my subwoofer would never kick on.... I was very disappointed. If I turned on the "bass management" in the Realtek drivers it... worked. On paper. BUT I had no fine control of the crossover which defaulted to way, way too high a frequency and made my speakers sound even worse. No amount of googling was able to offer me any answers. Everyone was saying onboard audio was fine, but I had to do something. So I bought this card. As I read here, I disabled my onboard audio in the bios and installed this card. Right out of the gate it worked! But wait... Still no sub worth speaking of and I couldn't find any crossover settings in Windows 10. I tried to install the Creative software sans drivers hoping it would give me access to that setting without goofing anything up. It wouldn't detect any compatible hardware. I crossed my fingers and installed the Creative drivers, hoping these relatively old drivers didn't conflict with Windows 10. Thankfully that was not the case! Everything worked great! The software let me adjust my crossover setting and everything. But wait, the sub still wasn't meeting my standards. What the heck? This last one was a goof on my part, it seems the crossover doesn't really matter if you have your speakers set to full size. I turned that off and set the crossovers to 80hz..... And it's been the smoothest of sailing ever since. I have much fuller sound all around, the subwoofer always works correctly and music sounds great. Stereo plays on stereo, surround plays in surround. I went on a rampage of reinstalling games that I thought might melt my ears (in a good way!) such as Residents Evil 2 and Doom 2016. I'm in a whole other world of pc audio now, all thanks to this relatively cheap card. I give this little guy my heartiest recommendation!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have a AC97 header to plug in the computer case front headphone and mic ??**
A: I can confirm that this Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX PCIe 5.1 Sound Card does. I just installed this last week (Nov. 2019) and it is a perfect replacement to my old Soundblaster X-fi (SB0770) (PCI) sound card that had the connection to the front panel of my 2008 HP Pavilion Elite M9200t PC. As another responder mentioned-you can see the metal plug connectors right above the Soundblaster logo on the top of this sound card. That is where you connect the cable/cord coming from the front of your PC.

**Q: Will the software (Audigy Fx Control Panel) allow me to adjust right/left balance to compensate for my hearing loss?**
A: Depending on the number speakers you may use, most of us have two, left and right for stereo, you should be able to compensate for the issue mentioned from the audigy control panel. I have three speakers with a bass added and it took some playing with the controls to get the sound I wanted. It gives you an option for speaker/headphone configurations from stereo to 5.1 surround sound and one for headphones. Your mileage will vary. Hope this helps.

**Q: can I run the 7.1 sound card with 5.1 speakers?  I have 5.1 speaker set at the time but might upgrade to 7.1 speakers at a future date, would prefer to get the 7.1 card so I can upgrade later, but if it wont work with 5.1 speakers then its not going to work for me**
A: Yes, a 5.1 speaker set up will work with a 7.1 card. A 7.1 speaker set up would just have one more cord to plugin than the 5.1 so it's very simple to upgrade your speakers later

**Q: will all my sound come thru this card? even my usb headset? my mobo is making wierd noises thru a few different headsets i have,**
A: No, this will not be useful for USB headsets, only items that are plugged into the card itself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ duality of defect
*by A***E on August 11, 2022*

The center, sub-woofer, and rear speakers worked but not the front ones. All but the front, indeed. The OS was up-to-date, purchased Windows 10 Home. The driver was downloaded from Creative. It let me touch related settings after installation but the front speakers made no sound, not even some common noises we hear when we touch an audio connector. They just felt dead. Of course the front speakers are fine. I’m writing this with them turned on. After all, there were two suspects. One was the sound card, the other the motherboard(s). I’m careful in using the suffix because although I actually tested the card on two slates, I think they couldn’t be considered discrete two. It seems they are identical, with their different names being just nominal. They seem to me to have been made in the same factory in mainland China with the same technology and the same people but are just being sold through different vendors with different names. I couldn’t find a difference other than the intro image during boot. One presents American Megatrends Inc. instead of their corporate name Atermiter, but the other Huananzhi. If they are really a twin, I was deceived. The reason why I bought conspicuously similar X99 mobos twice was because the sound from Atermiter was stereo only. They didn’t mention a word on surround on their product description page but I had failed to notice that. Yeah, that was my fault. Huananzhi, on the other hand, had surround on the specs flamboyantly. So I decided to place a follow-up order to AliX… again, expecting to get the promised function and be able to satiate my obsession in no time. But I was wrong again. The authorized Windows 10 Home recognized no more than stereo on Huananzhi too. Numerous attempts to install numerous drivers made no difference, overridden by the OS driver at reboot. What added to my sorrow was the vendors’ incompetency to solve the problem while both stubbornly insisting their slates had the function. In the end of the fruitless dispute between me and Huananzhi, the mediation team from AliX.. closed the dispute seller-friendly. I got no refund, no solution, no apology. So, once you get a problematic item you will experience a hell breaking loose upon you to get refund for it in AliX.. even when the seller keeps telling a lie. And the precept made me hesitate in this case. Is Amazon different? To make a long story short as I’m being exhausted now, I took 5 hour round trip to Seoul on Friday Korean time last week and dropped the card on a DHL spot on the way. To my utmost surprise, I got refund on Sunday. That’s how Customer Service is supposed to be. Fast, reliable, rational, and responsible. A textbook! None of which the dubious Chinese retailer has. This is why buying from Amazon is not actually more expensive than from the dork in my neighborhood, let alone chronically weak Korean currency in exchanging. The top-notch return policy was more than enough to offset my grief over the bad purchase, hence 4 stars in total.
