I bought some time ago the "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD USB external sound card with THX" because I want to digitize my records. Unfortunately Aussteuerungsmöglichkeit Creative is not useful, because the analog level is far too low. So I wanted a replacement, and with the LogiLink 7.1 also found by accident. For the price (about 20 Euro incl. Shipping) you can not go wrong. So I have on Saturday night! Sell-it ordered from the unit, this morning at 10:00 clock on Monday it has Hermes delivered. So unpack and replace it with the Creative, but the same time found a too short USB cable in the box. Only about 1 meter is a little short for me, the Creative has 1.80 m, but a mini-USB jack, the LogiLink has the old A connector. And then immediately the next problem, Line-In is 3.5 "jack in the Creative but RCA. But I have luckily both a USB cable with 1.50 m and an adapter 3.5" to 2 x RCA jack in Various things found my (sometimes it's good when you pick up everything, one is hunter-gatherer). The connection of the S / PDIF in and out was no problem, then the drivers installed (Windows 7 64bit Ultimate), after restarting made me an ugly icon of CMedia laughed at. The I immediately discarded and configured through the Windows Control Panel, the sound card. The line-in problems running at a higher level than the Creative, the S / PDIF input supports 44100 kHz and 48000 kHz, the Creative can only 48000 Hz. The S / PDIF output supported 48000 kHz and runs smoothly with PowerDVD in setting S / PDIF both with DD 5.1 and DTS in bitstream. It was here several times asserted that 5.1 would only analogy that I can not understand, with me running all DVD audio standards. But I can not make any statement as to whether the analog outputs function, I use this not. In any case the card for the price is a top bargain ... And the withdrawal of a point is too short because of the USB cable. Unfortunately, you can not deduct half points, my rating is 4.5 points.
