    Customers like the ease of use of the sound card. They mention that the installation was easy peasy, they had no issues installing said drivers, and it recognized perfectly on Windows 10. The sound quality is great, and the implementation and circuitry is superior to what you can find embedded. It boots into Windows with no problem, and as soon as they enable the SmartComms Kit everything becomes crystal clear.

    805 customers mention555 positive250 negative

    Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the sound card. Some mention that the sound is great, way better than the on-board sound that most provide, and that the Studio audio suite provides a range of audio enhancement options to help them customize their music. However, others say that after installation, the front speakers made no sound, the sound was somewhat distorted, and the bass range didn't transmit through the headphone jack. They also say that their microphone had an electric buzzing sound.

    "...Stereo plays on stereo, surround plays in surround. I went on a rampage of reinstalling games that I thought might melt my ears (in a good way!)..." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the performance of the sound card. Some mention that it works great without any issues, has fuller sound all around, and the subwoofer always works correctly. However, others say that it flat out doesn't work at all, has no output whatsoever, and that the software that's meant for it fails 99% of the time.

They say the included app allows them to customize sound output and other bells and whistles.

    "...Crisp, clear sound with the ability to tweak the bass and treble if I need to, which I prefer to go just a little lighter on the bass than most..." Read more

    "...On paper. BUT I had no fine control of the crossover which defaulted to way, way too high a frequency and made my speakers sound even worse...." Read more

    Card is great, only problem I have is it isn’t compatible with Hauppauge 950 & 955 USB tv tuners. Otherwise, it fits the bill.
