2.0 out of 5 stars Arggghh... Problematic card!!!, 2 Mar 2004
This is a 5.1 optical S/PDIF card, works magic on windows 98 and ME but works **** on Windows 2K and XP! (C-Media knows about the issues but there are several people affected by the problemns) I really liked it on my win ME computer... It uses the advanced C-MEDIA sound chips, it doesnt have a onboard MIDI synthezizer which for me was the main down point as i like making music. However it does have a MPU-401 to plug in a external MIDI unit. It has a doughter board with the optical socets on it. It is not compulsory to use it but it means another expasions slot used. This is so simple to set-up. But will cause MAJOR head aches if u are upgrading from a previous C-media product, this includes the motherboards AC97' chip made my C-Media! Seroiusly. Not worth the risk if you have windows 2k or XP. Though a REALLY good choice for min ME or 98 (not really sure about 95). So in a wrap:
BUY IT if you have windows ME or 98
DONT BOTHER with windows 2K or XP

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, buy one., 3 Aug 2007
Now I wonder how many of the previouse reviewers, actually
a. Read and compared the sound card to other manufacturers
b. Read and followed the instruction manual.

I was initially put off by poor reviews, then surfed away from Amazon to read reviews on other websites - I was surprised as there wasn't a negative thought out there. Might just prove some Amazon shoppers have no idea when it comes to Hardware upgrades.

Do as it says in the instructions! Adjust the bios for starters if you have an onboard sound processor. Make sure you fix the DVD audio lead to the sound card AND then fit the card properly in the PCI slot. Finally download the drivers from disk and reboot the PC. Then update the drivers from the Trust Website.

The SC 5250 comes with extra software on the drivers CD. Old versions of WinDVD and a PCI Audio hub, containing CD, Midi & Audio Mixer - these are not necessary and do not affect the sound output.

This card comes with an optional adapter and optical cable - ideal for digital audio transfer.

So far I can find no problems with this card and recomend it as a reasonable sound card at a reasonable price.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading, Temperamental, 19 Jan 2006
By N. Durbridge "d-bridge" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although the latest drivers form the C-Audio or Trust websites now work OK on Windows XP, there are few things to like about this card.
Firstly it does NOT do 5.1 surround through the digital outputs (coax or optical) - only via 3x stereo analogue jacks: a major letdown for me.
Secondly, I found that the card produced a lot of clicks during playback. My previous optical soundcard (a Gamesurround Fortissimo II - not exactly high-end) has no such problems so I don't think this is down to my machine.
This card also drops the digital optical link when no audio is playing; so when you start some audio there is a slight delay before you hear any sound, which jumps into life a few ms late.
Highly annoying!!
