Digital camera reviews of Sound Blaster Digital I /o Module
Digital camera Review: Works as advertised, but not entirely necessary...
Summary: 2 Stars
I picked up this item since I use my PC as a lossless music server and use a outboard DAC for processing.
Unless you need to use a optical connection, this item is not needed. Just go out and purchase a gold plated RCA to 1/8" adapter and throw it on the end of your coax cable. You'll also be cleaning up the signal path.
Digital camera Review: Works, but only for 2 speakers.
Summary: 3 Stars
When using this cable to connect my Sound Blaster card to my new 5.1 surround sound system via the digital ports, it only sends the front left and front right information. The rest of the speakers are silent. If I use the analog outputs, I can get the 5.1 working fine. So, while my new speakers do work, so from that sense the cable works, it does not offer the same benefits as plugging up a sound card that has a digital output (my alienware laptop has a digital output and it works great for 5.1 surround via the same system).
I'd recommend saving your money on this cable and putting it towards a new sound card that has a digital output built into the card.
Digital camera Review: does what it's supposed to
Summary: 5 Stars
like the other guy, not much can be said. works. works well. end of story. The only thing i would have liked to see was integration of sorts into a pci slot or something, to keep it within the case.Digital camera Review: works
Summary: 4 Stars
you can only output digital OR analog. to change from 5.1 [big fancy digital] to 2.0 [little pc analog] you must go into 'control panel' and change settings.
in other words to free up the home theater and listen to the old desktop speakers i a bit of a nuisance.
Digital camera Review: works as advertized
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I bought the wrong (at least I thought) sound card (thought it had onboard optical output), had to get this, and it works...My mistake cost me the price of this gizmo, but the gizmo itself works just fine.
