I ended up asking me if it was better not to opt for a temporary solution than to take the lead. After reading the reviews here, I ordered this model to help me out.
I was not expecting much ... And to my surprise, he did as well as the audio chipset my Z77M. The sound is pretty good. Quality ratio, unbeatable price. I think it is hard to beat at this price there.
- I use it in 2.1 under Windows 8.1. with my Altec 5.1 kit
- We need only plug 8.1 for Windows recognizes it.
- I use a USB extension cable to avoid having the back of the PC
The fact that he usb prevents me from using the internal ports of my PC.
For cons, I wonder how we can get the 7.1 with a single output jack?
Finally, if like me you reach a dead end turn on your sound under Windows 8.1, this solution is an excellent alternative.
