Good... except for recording [Posted on 2005-04-20]
If you're planning to use the NX for multitrack digital recording I would advise against it. Even with USB 2, recordings have a relatively high latency, meaning that if you try to record a new track while playing back an existing one, when you play them back together, they will start out in sync, but will end up with the new track lagging several seconds behind the original by the end. Consider purchasing the newer ZS instead.
For most other uses, the NX is a great upgrade to your computer's sound.
Sound Blaster NX [Posted on 2005-09-09]
This sound card did a pretty good job of playing music on our Sony Vaio. It was definitely better than what the computer came with, but after a year and a half, the sound card is dead. Won't power on at all, and we have changed the USB cable, and the power adapter. I have as of yet, heard back from Creative Labs, but I don't expect much to be truthful, because it's off warranty. (1 year) I will probably end up replacing it, but not with another Creative sound card.
sound blaster external card [Posted on 2005-10-26]
The external sound blaster was just what I wanted and works perfectly. The only thing I didn't like about it, is that you
cannot have both line in and mic plugged in at the same time otherwise one wont work. Otherwise I can change connection without having to pull out my computer and struggle with making connections. and I do alot of changes because of a varity of equipment I'm using
Allright until it ceases to work just after the warranty expires [Posted on 2005-12-30]
The sound quality seemed pretty good, it has lots of functions and decent software,plus digital outputs. Most of it is pretty unnecessary though, especially if you have a dvd player, i have a cheap one Apex-$40 which sounds as good if not better on the same speakers. As for recording, i only have a bad computer mike so its probably its fault. As another review will tell, this card seems to have a tendency of ceasing to function completely at for me 15 months of use. Search other options or risk an okay soundcard with a 7.5 month half-life----skip it.
Full Duplex [Posted on 2006-01-16]
For the price it would be nice if USB Audigy 2 NX were full duplex for major electronics items input devices of more expensive models. Sounds Polish real good and in other local dialects. No joke.
