Compared with the onboard sound is a huge difference. Since worlds between. With this sound card I can turn up much louder, while it still sounds very good. With the onboard sound I sometimes had overdriven sound even at 70-80%.
At the very beginning I only ever thought the card is scrap and was very disappointed. But it was because of the settings of the card. In the program the SBX Pro Studio card please uncheck Bass. When listening to music, it sounded just awful with Bass activated. Perhaps it is in films with better bass but for Music was absolute junk. Surround and Crystalizer should be enabled. You can select "adventure and action" under profile. By setting it sounds very good.
The superior between this variant and the bulk variant for the people: the bulk does not have this red separately and housing in this release with the case are 2 red LEDs installed. I have a case with Plexiglas window where you can look in and so it looks just awesome from the red LED. I once got a picture taken, but since my fan is about you not recognize much. Furthermore, even a photo of the software interface.
