One of the best soundcards available. [Posted on 2002-12-30]
I have had a version of this sound card for over 2 years.
I have no compatability problems with Windows 2K or Linux, every game I play sounds great.
The software that you can get from creative's website allows you to do all sorts of fun things in realtime. I've not used the digital out (Sorry, don't have DD receiver just for my computer) but the 4 speaker out works great.
I put these cards in every one of my machines I've built.
If you are a computer builder, this card requires no additional drivers out the box for W2K which always makes windows more stable :)
A product being phased out, but still has game [Posted on 2002-12-30]
While this product is being faded out with the new Audigy line, there is still a quality sound card here. If you don't have the speakers to support the 5.1 or 6.1 you are better off with this card.
amazing sound blaster. [Posted on 2002-12-31]
This one is hot and works good with ur dvd player and audio equipment.
WARNING: Do not buy [Posted on 2005-02-10]
This card have drivers troubles in windows XP. Some fixed with SP2.
But His bigger trouble is that Creative Labs refuse to provide drivers or all class of support because is a OEM product.
Creative says that the customer must obtain support from the manufacturer.
The manufacturer is impossible to find.

This is a good audio card if one needs to supplement the main on-board sound mechanisms in a PC. My own model has a motherboard with an AMD chipset, and my machine, which runs on Linux Mandriva, recognizes the card's presence and readily provided the necessary drivers for it.
They're available from among thousands and thousands of programs, all of which come free, with the operating system.
I can't agree with previous negative reviewers. There's nothing wrong with this product. It's very good, especially for the price. The big problem is that other users have relied on Windows, I imagine. For anyone operating on Linux, however, it's fine.
