2.0 out of 5 stars I heard it was OK but..............., 17 Oct 2001
By A Customer
With motherboards that have the VIA chipsets it can be, and was in my case, an absolute nightmare. I have an Abit K7A-Raid mobo with a AMD 1.2 GHz processor and a ATI All-in-Wonder Radeon graphics card. The 5.1 Player caused the system to be completely unstable. It could be because of a conflict with the graphics card or, more likely, with the VIA chipset(s). Basically without the right equipment it's almost impossible to be certain. I get the impression that the problems don't apply to Pentium systems. So this seems to indicate that the motherboard (which uses VIA chips) was the cause of the problem. To cut this boring story short, buy this soundcard at your own risk if you have a AMD based PC. You could be buying a lemon. I did because I'm now looking for another soundcard as I had to remove the 5.1 Player to get my PC to work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sound at great price, 19 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This is a must buy for music lovers or gamers at a great affordable price. The Digital surround sound is superube if you go the extra mile and get a surround sound speakers. Immersing your self in music listening or editing or hearing foot steps from behind while playing half life. playing quake with this real sound is not for the faint hearted.

1.0 out of 5 stars AMD system? Don't bother with this then..., 10 May 2002
By A Customer
If you have VIA chipset motherboard In my case a K7S5A then these things are a nightmare to install, it destabilised my entire system and caused numerous crashes at most inconvenient moments. So if you have an AMD system I would suggest looking elsewhere for your sounds.
