I ordered this card for maps assus reputation and the positive reviews here below, without wanting to throw 30 euros from the windows, I do not imagine that the minutes would be so good, at least not better than with the REALTECH hd 7.1 chipset integrated my motherboard feels very one hand, coupled with my headphones Sharkoon X-Tatic S7 -7.1 I rediscover his full potential that few offer my steam games, counter strike ect ..., day and night, just great music Connected in the optical box headphones to the sound card, sound good at all, equivalent to my headphones plugged in optics also on PS3, I had to get the driver for Windows 8 on the site assus without difficulty, it took a restart louse that my card is recognized .the lil integrate software is simple but easy to tame with lots of .j recommend setting possible in the near future for my other pc.
