 Install easily, sounds great..but! August 27, 2010
Tom Milner (OJAI, CALIFORNIA, US)
I bought this card to replace the native audio card built into my ASUS motherboard.
The reason I chose Creative was the great experience I had with their earlier sound card the "Audigy MP3". I would like to have purchased a new "Audigy MP3" card but I trusted Creative Soundblaster to provide a product of equal or better sound quality and ease of use.
My main complaint is the fact that in order to record through the new card on to my audio recording-editing application needed to turn OFF my monitor speakers audio amplifier. A means tp control the analog audio level coming off the line out plug is not controllable independently of the digital wav record level feeding Adobe Audition and or Sound Forge or the other lesser audio recording aps I use in my restoration work. That caused me to uninstall and remove the Creative Soundblaster X-FI Extreme PCI card and revert to the onboard audio of the ASUS motherboard.
I would have reused the old Soundblaster Audigy MP3 card but it died some years ago.
More complete printed instructions and a working support group to call on would be nice. But I guess there is no need for excellence in service and support any more.

 SB EXtreme Audio does not work with Windows 7 April 27, 2010
Prideplace (Alaska)
After contacting the Creative Store via e-mail an being assured the SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card worked with Windows 7 I ordered it, received it, and installed it. As a prior PC tech I have experience installing products. My primary need was for my microphone and speakers to work in Windows 7 as I had just upgraded from Windows XP. I got everything to work in Windows XP, but the microphone portion would not work in Windows 7.
After three weeks of trying everything and reading many forums I came to the conclusion that the microphone portion of card will not work in Windows 7.
I returned the card via a RMA and expect a full refund. I was also, disappointed that after three weeks I have not received a response from Creative's tech support. Also, Creative has no chat or voice tech support. I'm also disappointed that they farm out their purchasing to Amazon.
I have sence purchased a Diamone XTreem Sound Audio Card, installed it and it works fine. They have a chat and voice support. I will never purchase a Creative product again or recommend it to anyone.

I ordered and received this sound card in a speedy fashion. Within a half hour I had it installed and operating. Seems to be just what I expected and needed. Sounds good and operates just fine so far... Reliability is hard to determine this soon, but no problems yet..
Motherboard Upgrade April 15, 2010
Joshua (Vinton, Ia USA)
Not a gamer but lover of music. Decided to get a sound card for better audio from my mother board. Had SB live external but drivers did not work for my new system. Was weary of creative because of this problem. Researched the x-fi gamer card but could not get it locally for a reasonable price. Picked up this instead. What a difference. Installation went easy followed the instructions and did an immediate update. Restarted my system, NO SOUND!! Did hardware check and everything was there and set up. Went into Creative console and checked all settings no problem. Clicked restore factory default and bang sound. Didn't change factory settings so????? Now awesome sound. Sending through my stereo tuner AMAZING all around sound no noise or distortion through my ten year old Jensen speakers. I didn't think they had any life left in them. Now they sound amazing. Awesome card and buy. P.S. I use XP not Vista so I don't know about the other complaints or win. 7 compatibility. I also haven't tried to record yet.
 Worth the price, if you don't expect too much March 24, 2010
Amazon Jams (Warrenton, VA USA)
I have had much experience with Creative labs, Inc. in that I have been a MIDI enthusiast. I always come back to Creative in spite of their horrid software drivers, bug-ridden software, and so forth, because they support SoundFont technology that I use the most.
I am actually pleased with this card. The drivers work great and the installation was a breeze (unlike the X-Fi Pro Elite on my other PC...I won't even go there...). For the price, I cannot complain.
No, this is not a true "X-Fi" card, and the EAX effects are not up to even the Audigy standards. For this cause, the Audigy would have been a better choice for me in music making (since the price was the same). The MIDI polyphony is only 64, not 128 as in true X-Fi, and none of the X-Fi driver improvements apply to this card.
On the other hand, I can easily load up a 130MB soundfont with ease, and the MIDI playback is good. The sound quality of the card is satisfactory.
One other significant advantage: I needed a small form-factor (SFF) PCI card for a SFF HP computer. This card meets the SFF size spec, even though the bracket is full-sized. No problem...simply remove the bracket, cut to length with tin snips, and bend over a new tab and drill a hole to make your own bracket to fit. The simple hardware modification is easy enough for the mechanically inclined, and it works great.
