BEST SELLERS

In Sound Card

I needed an amp/boost for Sennheiser Game Zero headset. The U5 has boost, equalizer, that has better quality than the Sound Blaster Z pcie. The different modes(audio config) do work well. Not sure if I'll use live, cave, enhancements much, the studio sounds best for my needs. Playing BF or GTA 5, the sounds are clear and bass where you want it. The best feature is being able to switch from headset to speakers with pushing the button in game, where doing this with before would usually cancel any sound in game. Also gives my Logitech 2.1 speakers a great boost and sound clarity. Had no difficulty with downloading, installing the driver.

Got this because it's compatible with Windows 98 Upon boot, Win 98 detected it, it installed a PCE-E to PCI bridge chip driver. I had to install the driver manually after, but that's just Windows 98 being bad.

Worked out of the box with my Ubuntu 9.10 system. Sound is very clear with no background static. Microphone input is very clean. Just plugged it into an open USB port and settings for it showed up in the mixer. I use it primarily for a headset interface, so I can't make any claims towards the "7.1" channels. Very good performace for the price.

The sound card has very rarely failed to do what it claims to do and I highly recommend it to you. Yes it does have a mic/headset plugin and I have no final complaints

I bought it to install on an old computer because the built-in sound card no longer worked. The sound quality is okay but not as good as the PCI-e version I also bought. It also comes with a driver disk.
