Good sound card with slight weaknesses

Since I did not want to spoil the last slot with an internal sound card me, I looked around for externalization. So much my decision on the Creative Sound Blaster Surround 5.1 Omni.
The construction and connection is no problem. Just so the instalation. Runs on Windows 8 without any problems. But the buyer Thomas (two reviews below me) remarked all right, the channels for center and rear speakers not be settled individually in volume! - As a result, the Centre in 5.1 mode plays much too loud. Since I have but the Creative GigaWorks T20 II also ordered through Amazon connected, and these can be separately regulated in the volume, play this (certainly annoying) circumstance not matter to me. Also läst when adjusting the speaker volume a light scratching hear. Something "unschöhn" ...

If you can live with these criticisms, but can then be quite happy about a good sound Quallität. Above all, here the software convince with its many settings: Good EQ, Dolby Digital Live, crossover frequency adjustable, Subwoover gain, Scout mode, Crystal Voice, Crystalizer, Profile can be stored and much more ...

What also impressed me is the built-in headphone amplifier, running at the low-impedance headphones also very loud and good sound Quallität. The build quality is good, the connections are all gilded and the part mach optical head turner. An optical digital input is also available. A power cable is not needed, since the required power via the USB 2.0 or 3.0 occurs. All in all a really good sound card, but unfortunately can not receive full marks from me because of the above reviews. Therefore, here are four stars are appropriate.

The shipment via Amazon as always fast and Containers exemplary.
