Shocked 4 Jan 2012
By Chris
I am shocked at the difference between having a sound card and onboard sound. This may only be an entry level cheap end of the market but it definately does the job well.

I've been using a pair of AX 720s on my onboard Formula V sound and i kept getting a cracking/popping noise which was driving me nuts. The sound quality was good, or atleast I thought it was good...

I've been listening to my favourite music for the best part of an hour now as if it were the first time I'd heard the songs. I feel ashamed to have spent so much money on my other pc components and headset while overlooking such a valuable piece.

A definite must have and for the price it's amazing.

Delivery was excellent and the card performs pretty well, but look forward to a few hours trying to find drivers for it Asus users are well aware of the company's strange policy in providing drivers for anything but this card is the worst experience I have ever had. I eventually found some drivers that were modified by another victim that worked quite well But during my search I came across hundreds of complaints about the problem.

I had been having trouble with the on-board sound of my PC. This card installed straight out of the box with no problems. The driver disk worked fine too. I am using Windows 7 64bit Ultimate.
