The sound from this card is fantastic and all the written hype about this card is true! HOWEVER!!!! Under windows 8/8.1 the card is often not detected at all, leaving you to reposition the card into another PCIE slot and wait for the same detection issue to hit that slot, then move it back to the...

I bought this card to use with Windows 10 (currently own X-fi HD Titanium which has no Win 10 drivers) Nothing but problems with this card. First the microphone on the ACM would not work, just made loud garbled crackling noises. Second, the audio was awful!

This sound card kit is a very nice setup, i just recently built my own pc and put this in.. and i am very impressed by the quality of the audio that comes from it. I never really heard such good quality come from a pc sound card like i have heard from this.

They cancelled my order (a $205 Creative ZxR sound card), saying it was out of stock. I then find out they re-list the item right back on Rakuten.com for double the price, $410. What concerns me more is that Rakuten is still using this "seller".

If price is no object this is the one. The extras and modes don't really sell the card, its the fidelity of the components. You aren't going go get a better signal to noise anywhere else, and if you have a good enough listening setup, you can hear the difference.

The new Creative Labs Sound Blaster ZxR sound card is a behemoth of audio goodness. Un-boxing everything from the package, I was very impressed with the design style Creative Labs put into their new, flagship sound card.
