![]() Pros: I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but I'm an electrical engineer who knows a lot more than your average person about audio stats, frequency response, and how these things work at a hardware level. If they fixed those couple of annoyances this would be about perfect, but depending on your other equipment and how you hook it up they might not even effect you. Overall Review: For the price you're probably not going to find anything better, and the issues with it can be worked around. I was able to work around it by opening a second player and having it loop a blank audio file, but it shouldn't require that. Depending on the receiver (mine does) this means it might click and drop half a second of audio after each time there's no output. The SPDIF keepalive option in the config program doesn't work, so when nothing is playing it turns off the beam. I've had a lot of sound cards that always have a little buzz or static or can't handle high frequencies, but this one is perfectly clean.Ĭons: You can't have it pass along analog signals (line-in, microphone, etc) to the digital out without setting up a program to basically record it and immediately play it back. If you want to make an interference-free connection between your computer and receiver, this works perfectly. mp3s and digital photos and flight sim addons I have, and just reformat the bloody computer.Pros: Digital input and output. I'm about ready to call it quits, try to backup the gigs of. It didn't give me any error messages though. It would say "Preparing to install", the bar would fill up, then it just quits. Also, I tried to reinstall my motherboards nForce 3 drivers (uninstalled the old ones to see if that would work), InstallShield did the same thing as when I tried to install the soundcard drivers. So slow that when I was copying the soundcard drivers to my HD (about 65 megs worth or so) took over 30 minutes. I also noticed that data transfer rates from my LiteOn dual layer DVD burner / DVD drive / CD Burner / CD-ROM drive are EXTREMELY slow. Card still isn't working right, but I don't think the issue is with the card. ![]()
