3.0 out of 5 stars Watch out!, March 18, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS - Sound card - 24-bit - 96 kHz - 5.1 - PCI - Creative Audigy (Electronics)

This card does NOT support imported soundfonts although their manual implies that it does. Good old Creative. Nowhere on their web site do they tell which products do and which do not support soundfonts. You have to find out the hard way.

The other features of this card are just fine. If you don't need to import soundfonts, then this may very well be the card for you. However their manual and, in fact, all of their tech writing is superficial and borderline useless.

Sound is crisp and clear. As i watch movies ive seen before i notice little sounds i hadn't heard before. i bought this card with logitech z640 5.1 speakers. The speaker setting programs that come with the card work very well. There was one major problem i had with the card, though. I was replacing a motherboard sound card, so i had to disable motherboard sound in the BIOS and restore my computer for FULL functionality. If you dont restore, you cant use the mixers and windows sounds dont work. If your replacing another PCI sound card, this card will fit in easily. But if you have a mother board sound, you'll have spend a weekend backing up, restoring, and reinstalling programs.

2.0 out of 5 stars I almost like it., August 29, 2004

I almost like this card that's why only two stars.
I got this card as a replacement for my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz.
If the only thing you plan on having this card do is play music it's just fine.
Getting it to record is another. One must crank up the Main Volume as well as the input to get it to record properly.
There are some other small issues, when playing a MIDI file one must turn the Main and Midi Volume controls down, as the Midi will come blasting through. The additional sound card software is rather cumbersome and not well refined.
