 Rating:  - Ear Piercing Shriek = RMA ReturnThis is the 2nd PCIx1 sound card that I bought for the same Gigabyte motherboard. The first card, an Asus Xonar card, crashed while playing certain games. So, I bought the tried and true Creative. After about 5 minutes of use it emitted an ear-piercing scream - along the lines of a smoke alarm, or building fire alarm.

The sound that comes from the "built in" sound devices on most mother boards today may provide the latest in 7.1 technology, but if you listen to music critcally as I do, there's just too much inherent noise. The answer is an add-on sound card. I prefer the ease of connection from the front bay interface that the Creative card provides. All the connections for audio are there, digital and analog, except the XLR type. If you need ...
