1. The product is no Dolbi, no 5.1 sound in SPDIf mode. 2. Amazon refund policy is excellent. Thank you Amazon.

Cette carte audio externe est pile ce que je recherchais. Le pris est correct (des cartes similaires chez Creative coûtent plus de 100 euros en moyenne). Le bouton sur le boîtier est un plus, même si je ne m'en sers pas, ça fait quand même trois possibilités de moduler le son (réglages Windows, le bouton sur les enceintes et ces boutons sur le boîtier). Le son est très bon puisque j'ai un système 5.1. Cela m'a permis de récupérer du son sur un PC où la carte son interne et intégré à la carte mère a lâché. Le produit est arrivé dans les délais annoncés et bien emballé. Ce fut une joie que de retrouver du son sur mon PC.

Compatta, solida e soprattutto perfettamente funzionante. Io la uso per giochi e musiche in 5.1 ed è tutto ok, suono e localizzazione perfetti. Per istallarla ho scaricato dal sito (come consigliato nel manuale cartaceo incluso nella confezione) il software "Xear Audio Center" che permette di gestire facilmente input e output. Consigliatissima.

Device as expected and was extremely reasonable priced. The programs and drivers seem old and the UI looks like its from win95. It isn't necessary for use and can just be a generic usb 2.0 device configured thru windows. It takes a min to configure in win11 but does produce 5.1 surround. Isn't just plug and play, you have to configure it in windows and windows doesn't seem to want to allow you to the menu necessary (No fault of device). I couldn't find the location of the configs in basics system settings menus. WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO TO CONFIGURE: 1-"Open Sound Settings: Type mmsys.cpl into the Windows search bar and press Enter to open the classic Sound control panel.". 2-click on device. 3-configure. Device is great for my use. Computer->EKL Switch->This Device - to transfer my surround between 2 computers using a Logitech 5.1 THX surround. From a gaming standpoint, this functions great and I don't notice a difference between direct motherboard and device sound output. Device shows as DVD quality output.

I loved this audio card it worked perfectly. I connected my old pin5.1 speakers to my Alienware pc.

For the price, thought it's bound to be an awkward product to use or will have mess around to get it working. I was so wrong, it installed within minutes, found drivers and correct software and worked immediately. Only issue was that optical isn't enabled from standard and seemed like it didn't work however to enable you need to right click the source then enable and that's it. Well worth the money and has tons of connectivity, spec for the price was even better than the Creative external soundcards with optical out... Defo buy it, great product... One other thing though is that the usb cable is only about a metre long so if desktop on the floor you'll likely need a USB extention cable so not the end of the world.
