Digital camera reviews of Creative Labs SB0570 PCI Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card
Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 2 Stars
I wasn't looking for anything special in a sound card. I just needed something to solve the sound problems I was getting in many games. I found out that it can be caused by using the motherboard's on-board audio. So I replaced it with this and it solved the problem.
The audio isn't nearly as good though, and I just wanted a quick fix. I recommend saving up your money to buy an Omega Striker or Auzentech Prelude sound card instead.
Digital camera Review: Exactly as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
This card is very easy to install and the sound is great. Without spending a fortune, I have wonderful sound through my new surround sound speakers!Digital camera Review: Excelent Budget Card
Summary: 5 Stars
For the money, this is a great card. Just as it says, though: It's an upgrade from onboard audio. If you're upgrading another sound card, you might want to go with something a little more beefy, but for the average home user with no need for extreme audio, this is a wonderful sound card.
The only thing that I couldn't get to work was turning on hardware acceleration inside my games. Windows hardware acceleration works fine, but the games don't like to do it with this card. Game audio without that is superb - I have the game's sound channels cranked up and it is crystal clear.
Please note that the BLUE jack on the card is for the microphone, not the red jack. You'll have much less frustration if you know that beforehand. Veteran computer users are accustomed to plugging the mic into the red jack, but the red one here is an output...
Digital camera Review: Excellent Sound Card
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy I upgraded my sound card to this one. The price and quality of this card was unbelivable. It works well with XP and now Windows Vista. The sound is clear and no issues with the drivers working in Windows. I highley recommend you by this sound card and you will not regret it. A+++++++Digital camera Review: Excellent Sound quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I am just a entry-level music lover. This sound is excellent when upgrading from onboard sound card. I am not professional. I can definitely tell the difference. I can see actual improvement.
