I have the sound card on a new board, Gigabyte "GA-870A-UD3 (rev. 3.1)" with "Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit" to run. Windows install normal drivers, which the card runs smoothly and you could leave it at that. But I had previously downloaded me to the Creative Labs Web site the latest drivers, (very slow server there !!!) and this then without the associated Softwarebundle`s but, installed. After a restart but was searched for and actually found and reinstalled after "the latest drivers". The sound card has towards my, also good onboard solution, even better, bulkier sound. And, although I have not made any settings! This I will try in the next few days. But I am actually now completely satisfied and can only recommend this soundcard. Provided that the buyer has a "PCIEx1 slot" on the board .... please remember. The shipment of "VV-Computer" happened very quickly in an absolutely ordinary packaging without any problems. Thanks a lot for this.
