Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5 Plus Pure Edition SABRE32 Ultra-Class 32-bit/384kHz PCI-e Gaming Sound Card and DAC with Dolby Digital and DTS, Xamp Discrete Headphone Bi-amp, 122dB SNR, RGB LED Strips

Was hesitant to invest money on a sound card, but I wanted to use my DTS system to the fullest.After long research decided to pickup AE-7Pacakge was coolBuild Quality with LED is awesomeConfiguration is easy, but need to spend time in understanding the terminologiesRegister self and product in the SBC app to save the configurations, if not you will have to configure every time you restart.Not using the external controller for now, but an usefull one for content creatorsMounted on a MSI B560 MB this is working like a charm. Splits the channels beautifully.Slightly over priced , but a GOOD one for what we pay.

For around 20 k this is the best sound card available in market right now. It supersedes any other on board sound card and also blows off some entry level AV receivers as well. The SABRE class 9018 DAC used here is awesome and you can feel the nuances of sound. Be sure to invest in some quality headphone and speaker system if you are planning to buy this one.

You have must high resolution supported speaker system for best result of this sound card, without high resolution speaker totally waste of money for this sound card don't buy if you have normal speaker.

I think AE -5 plus is good, not a good Dolby

Bought AE-7 and from the very first day it has been full of bugs, be it the card or Sound Blaster app. I have three PCIE ports and have tried the card in all three but every other day I have to uninstall and install the drivers. Then it would work okay for a day or two and then again system doesn't read the card. I also installed the card in my other system (with different MoBo) just to check and the same problem persists. Please don't buy this, go for external sound card.

There are other better options.

Esta tarjeta de sonido ha sido un problema en ciertos puntos.Se sabe que tiene incompatibilidades porque requiere que el PCIe sea versión 3.Windows 11 no sirve para reconocer este problema, se tiene que configurar desde la BIOS.Fuera de los problemas que se pueda tener con compatibilidades en 2024.El sonido es una maravilla, se requiere si o si también tener unos audífonos o bocinas más potentes para aprovecharla al 100.Yo la he ocupado especialmente para música, pero para juegos también funciona, excepto con sus tecnologías de Surround, todo es digitalizado y empieza a sonar distante todo.

So for reference I have been ordering external amps / sound cards to find something that I loved. Have gone through the EPOS GSX 300, FOSI K5 - and of course the Apple dongle - to be honest the Apple dongle was the best out of those 3 (I know) but offered absolutely no sound customization and the mic noise reduction was non-existent and sounded like garbage while gaming.FINALLY I ordered this thing..... and I'm in love. Great power, FANTASTIC SOUND, great mic control (voice changer is so fun in games) and a phenomenal software interface for adjustments. The only downside is the RGB's don't work with my MSI program , so it just means another start up program (were used to that by now). Your PC does not detect this is a separate stereo / headphone out so that is handled in the Creative software to switch back and forth which I wish wasn't a thing, but honestly its not bad. (Side note, when you switch inputs you hear the sound card click - which tells me they are using actual switches which is awesome!) I'm using this with some Sennheiser EPOS PC38X headphones as well as a Logitech 5.1 PC stereo and they both sound fantastic on this card.The 4 RGB lighting strips are great, magnetic and sticky on the back for extra adhesion and they look great when properly installed, originally I had them facing inward which really showed the individual LEDs- I ended up mounting them on the front, aimed to the back and they add such nice ambient lighting to the PC - very customizable in the Creative program. Also it was plug and play on my Win 11 PC - just make sure you download the Creative app or nothing works. I did NOT have to disable my onboard audio for this to take over.In closing, great soundcard and wish I bought this a long time ago - gives me exactly what I wanted at a reasonable price and looks fantastic in my system! Highly recommend,

It is amazing! There! I said it! Get it! Now! The sound ratio is beyond amazing for an add-in card. My Titanium HD Xfi doesn't even come close.I bought this one as I didn't need the extra XLR and outboard unit the AE-9 came with. Creative Labs has improved their software so no one should be complaining.Sound? Ok, I only know three people that can hear 20Hz to 20Khz. Trust me, you don't want to hear up to 20Khz, it will drive you bonkers. I don't need to hear light-bulbs squeal, my monitor hissing and upper frequencies birds and dogs hear. Me, I'm getting around 30hz to 18Khz with my ears. I'm fine with that.Likes: it doesn't cost $6000 made with Italian marble and aviation grade aluminium and doesn't come with $4000 oxygen free, gold plated cables covered in braided Tibetan goat wool hand picked by monks.Dislikes: not having this sooner.Describing sound is pointless as it is too subjective. Overall, this card will output great sound for what's it's price and the intended purpose of it. That's as far as I'll go with sound as there are a lot of myths and snake oil theories out there. The Command Center gives you more than enough control over the sound output.Unless you're a sound engineer for a sound lab, do film production or you need precise, accurate, measured frequency response, this card is more than good enough for PC users.Likes: works for me! I'm happy! Wow! Take that onboard sound chip! Installed in PCIe slot, boot, let Windows 10 do the detect song and dance. Download latest software from Creative website. Install. Done. I found it easy to configure.Dislikes: Hmm...for me, there's none.I have it plugged into a stereo preamplifier to which my headphones are plugged in and I run a cable to the mic port to plug the microphone in.

المنتج جيدا جيدا ولكن كان هناك صعوبة الاعدادات ولا يوجد شرح مفصل مرفق مع الكرت

Snyggt ljudkort som jag gärna hade behållit eftersom jag har tidigare haft både Sound Blaster Z och ZxR som har presterat väldigt bra (när de funkade).Däremot har jag alltid haft problem med Creative mjukvara för ljudkort. Fruktansvärt buggigt.Jag köpte den vita versionen eftersom jag har en helt vit dator och hoppades på att deras nya produkter fungerar bättre.Problem 1: LED strips som jag fick med ljudkortet fungerar dåligt. Inte ens om jag kringgår ljudkortet och kopplar dem direkt till moderkortet så lyser bara några av dem (2st med ljudkortet, ca 10-15 med moderkortet).Problem 2: HUR kan mjukvaran vara så dålig?! Sound Blaster Command buggar som in i helvete. Så fort jag startar den så stängs ljudkortet av och vägrar fungera till jag startat om datorn. Kör jag Command igen så släcks ljudkortet. Kom igen Creative, fixa problemet någon gång? Både Z och ZxR strular som fan med tidigare mjukvara.Eftersom jag har en helt vit dator så finns det inte många val, får bli externt ljudkort, dock aldrig mer Creative ljudkort.
