The sound convinced the driver, however, does not.

After I installed the card fell on that I had no more sound after I woke my PC from sleep mode as usual to me. So you have to then restart it again so what hears the whole computer. The problem is well known Creative - including at least the subject of a few pages in the Forum - is only one solution, there are not any.

The control panel is well lubricated more than once and the "Crystal Voice" effects for the microphone that I had promised me really more just any kids effects like monster or alien. Well ... with "crystal" that has nothing to do. Only the Noise Canceling is very good!

So the hardware is certainly fine and efficient (eg ASIO), but the software is more like a bad joke. One can, for example, the whole effects for the microphone input are not using the line-in mode ... so my mic preamp I could not "improve". What reserving only directly connected microphones nonsense this Processing.

As well, despite various reports of Windows 7 and 8 users will not update with the drivers, I would like he prefers to dispose of this product again.
