5 out of 5 stars Great sound card for laptops   August 31, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I bought this to pair up my laptop to my Logitech z 5500 5.1 system. The audio quality is much better than the stock sound card, not to mention 5.1 surround sound support (not included on almost ALL laptops). The software included is not the greatest when using Windows Vista, as many of the features that would normally be on Windows XP are cut out (for compatibility issues), but It still has many custom settings and equalizers to get the exact sound you're looking for. It comes with much more software than advertised, including a DVD player that supports Dolby, multiple CD/DVD burners, an audio editor, a music player, and an entertainment center similar to windows media center. Another cool feature that I found is the X-Fi CMSS-3D setting, which (depending on how you set it) basically takes 2 channel sound (like mp3 songs) and either simulates surround sound (by putting the vocals on the center speaker and other instruments on the surrounds), or just plays all of the speakers in stereo.

For those people looking for a lot of bass for hip hop and dance songs, this sound card can tune the bass frequencies up to 12 dB, so when using my Logitech z 5500's, the whole house, and the neighbors house(s), shake ridiculously.

Overall:
-Great build and sound quality
-Perfect for laptops
-5.1 support for your



5 out of 5 stars I CAN HEAR IT ALL   August 23, 2008

I recently ordered a Creative express card only to have the order cancelled due to a backorder problem,I went to my local Circuitcity and purchased this sound blaster and I must say it improves built in sound on my HP greatly,Some other reviews of this product were not so good,I had some doubts but purchased it anyways,I am definately not sorry,the drivers installed no problem,you can even leave the drivers out and just let windows use the drivers from Microsoft.I am currently running Vista Ultimate on this laptop.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent purchase that saved the day   August 15, 2008

I had the unfortunate experience of frying the sound on not one but two Dell Inspiron 5100 laptops, and was faced with the dilemma of either replacing both motherboards or both laptops, as the sound chipset is obviously built right onto the motherboard. How fortunate I was to buy Creative Labs USB Sound Blaster X-Fi for a little over $36! The sound is excellent, the product superior, and truly saved the day for me! Hats off to Creative Labs for a job well done!

Initially I had problems in installing drivers (on IBM Z61T) and other creative softwares. But once the drivers are installed the sound card works perfect.


5 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for   July 10, 2008

Using a notebook is kind of hard to have 5.1 sound, this device allows it. Now I can see movies and connect it to powered speakers to have a Home Theater using my notebook.
