   Summary: sound card
Device manager is constantly needing to be reassigned. Is constantly resetting to default. I do not recommend this product.

   Summary: great sound card
Wonderful sound, beats the pants off built in sound cards, and rips MP3s like in seconds. Truely amazing sound card, Now a driver improvement by creative would help, as windoze vista drivers suck big time.

   Summary: So-So
I love creative products, but sometimes they just price themselves out of usefulness, that and drivers... oh drivers.

I went out and tried to fix a sound problem i was having with vista by throwing money at it, i figured well, creative is 'the best' well it turns out, that at this time last year, NOONE had good vista drivers, and well i wasted a bunch of money for no reason. I'm sure vista drivers have came a long way, but i still have a sour taste in my mouth.

Anyways, if you have money to burn, it doesn't get better than this card, if you are even remotely worried about dollars per performance, then get a lower end X-Fi, as the sound quality will be identical, and the performance difference will be completely negligible.

   Summary: Great card poor instructions
I purchased this card for the single reason of improving game performance over my onboard sound. It has done that.

However one fear I had came true when I went to install the card. Lack of advanced install instructions. I have sound outputs on my case that I would like to use however the install instructions do not give me any idea where to plug this in on the card. They lost a big point for that. Also most hardware people know that your onboard card needs to be disabled for maximum performance increases. This is also no where to be found.

I am overall glad I bought this card but wish Creative would show a bit more of a professional edge with their documentation.
