Digital camera Review: Mindblowing Audio
Summary: 5 Stars
The Audigy2 is the best sound card out there.The 6.1 surround sound and dobly digital ex sound is amazing especially while watching DVD movies and gaming.The sound quality is far better than the Audigy, u can feel the difference.ALso supports DVD Audio, so ur ready for the future.GO, get the Audigy2 right now!Digital camera Review: No input
Summary: 1 Stars
I had this card installed in my Dell when I ordered it and I will say it does sound great BUT there is one proplem with it that I need and that is the input will not work. I called Creative Labs, Dell and got no where. Now maybe not many people need to use the input jack but it is a must for me. My old computer had a simple card but it did work. So if you want just great sound, this card is good but if you need to record albums, etc. then forget it, this card won't do it, or at least mine won't.Digital camera Review: Outstanding Sound Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
This sound card produces the best sound quality I've ever heard from any sound card. The clarity and crispness is unmatched in games and music. It definately outdoes my old Live! card. I highly recommend this card to music lovers and gamers alike.Digital camera Review: Reformat
Summary: 1 Stars
Junk, absolute junk. Don't even try to complain to Creative. Talk about a bunch of losers. If you have a soundblaster already installed, you might as well reformat to get the new one to work. I am a computer engineer for crying out loud. The soundblaster uninstall does not work, and you can spend forever trying to track down all the files that need to be deleted so that your new card will install correctly, but you will never find them all.Digital camera Review: Review from an audiophile.
Summary: 5 Stars
PROs: GREAT sound, Games are even deeper, digital audio is amazing. THIS IS A SOLID CARD. clear highs, superb mids, and powerful lows can be produced. If you are hardcore music or gamer then get this card. NOT at a retail store but online where the price is normal, I paid 100.00 (doh!!).CONs: Expensive, if you are a casual music person and gamer and don't need the best for your computer then pay half and go with SoundBlaster Live!, it is 16 bit, not the Audigy 24 bit. Live! still sounds fantastic, but Audigy 2 is better. Some people have had conflicts with XP, make sure you have XP service pack 1 installed on your system, that "should" fix the issue. If you are NOT an audio nut then you will notice some diffrence in quality but not much. I notice.
REMEMBER!!!! If you want to get this card and are using cheap speakers then PLEASE get good speakers w/Sub first (I could not consider myself an audiophile and not say that) and then the Audigy, after all it is the speakers that bring the sound out to your ears right? If you have live! and cheap speakers, new speakers will help give better sound to the live! card!
