Not bad for $40, needs updated drivers.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

My onboard audio is an ALC897 codec, needless to say, it is underwhelming (thanks MSI for using this on a B560). I then upgraded to an ASUS SE sound card, it was an immediate improvement and provided a rich sound with a deep bass that is fantastic if you are on a budget. I had the opportunity to purchase a used ASUS AE for $40 and though its a definite improvement, there are a few things to be sure to do for installing drivers. Make sure the onboard audio controller is disabled in BIOS and uninstall audio drivers prior to installing the sound card. Once the sound card is installed, go to the ASUS website and install drivers, then restart the PC. The sound quality is a definite improvement over the ALC897 and the ASUS SE. The software is also very user friendly with a number of presets. I am planning on replacing the opamp and am eager to see if it makes any meaningful difference. I will say that it is disappointing that it only goes to 110db and only drives 150ohm headsets. Also, as of 10/11/21, Windows 11 is not yet supported. For $40 its a good buy. However, anything more and I would go with an external dac setup.

This is a very easy to install and use Card

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2022

I like the ease of install, but there is quite a bit of extraneous noise in the card. It becomes easy to ignore and there is no background noise when it is actually playing sound. The sound quality and the feature sin the software are otherwise fantastic and I highly recommend. Pound per square inch, this card is a good buy.

Big Letdown, Riddled With Problems

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 29, 2021

Verified Purchase

So I was pretty excited to try out this card, as I had read fairly good reviews about it, and hadn't actually experimented with anything other than on-board audio before.

First, if you have a dual or triple fan GPU installed in the upper-most PCI-E slot (what most motherboards use as the X-16 slot a GPU is most often installed in) in a standard ATX case, you're not going to be able to utilize the X-1 slot for this card, as it almost completely blocks cooling fan flow from the GPU. A minor issue, but still kind of annoying.

After using a lower X-16 slot in my motherboard for this card, and installing the proper drivers and Asus software, when using the headphone out, which has a built in Amp and can supposedly drive headphones up to 150 ohms impedance, I heard a faint crackling at lower volume from any bass driven note. As I continued to use the card, I realized this faint crackling can be heard using any of the outputs on the card. Not much in the way of troubleshooting online for this either. After removing the card and reverting to on-board audio, voila. No more crackling.

When I tried to use both the front and rear outputs on the card, the card would only output to the front. No audio would be output through the "center" output either.

And finally, at random times, a complete breakdown of the audio would occur, with whatever was being input by the computer, resulting in audio which sounded like a crashing noise, extremely low bitrate, and a slowing of whatever speech or music was being played, requiring a system reboot.

The software wasn't too great either, with the equalizer, bass boost, and compressor settings providing no noticeable change in audio quality. If you wish to leave headphones plugged into the back of the card on windows 10, you'll need to utilize the program from Asus, as the source is not selectable in the windows task bar.

Unbelievable.

I've never had much luck with Asus products before (big problems with high end Asus laptops), but this one might be the nail in the coffin for me and Asus.

Stuck Toe in uncharted waters with this card - Extremely pleased!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 12, 2019

Verified Purchase

I panicked last week when a recent Windows 10 update killed both my main PC internal Realtek sound and the sound card (E-MU 1616M) which back in the day was top of the line for SoundBlaster and could not be revived with a roll back of the driver and I could not safely "un-do" the Windows update. Ok so a few days worth of panic led to my search to replace both cards. I needed something with ASIO drivers because all of the audio programs I use need them. ASIO is basically provides extremely low latency especially for programs that are heavy on the sound quality. This ASUS card fit the bill and after the almost mindless installation worked beautifully with great sound. The literature that I saw is heavily influenced by the Gaming Community and I was worried that it would be too light for my needs. Rest assured so far it has outperformed the E-MU 1616M - which worked perfectly for almost 15 years until the fated update. My computers are all very robust and I built each system to last quite a while and am not afraid to spend some cabbage on "future proofing" my setup. I anxiously await yet another ASUS STX II 7.1 card this week which will be for my "workhorse" Audio computer, where I edit and produce samples. It will replace the very sad internal sound card which has never quite lived up to it's expectations.

I read a lot of reviewers talking about trouble installing this card. Fortunately, it looks like Asus has resolved the driver issues. I uninstalled my Nvidia sound drivers, then downloaded the Asus drivers from their site. I shut down my machine and popped in the card. I fired it back up, installed the new Asus drivers - one more restart and boom! Amazing audio!

I am disappointed with SPDIF output. SPDIF(optical) output supports 2(Left, Right) channels only

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on July 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

I am a sound enthusiast. My purpose of buying Zonar AE sound card was to connect SPDIF output to my ONKYO/MARANTZ 5.1 receiver for enjoying DTS 5.1 surround sound movies but it fails. SPDIF output gives only 'left' and 'right' front channels. And, sound quality is just normal. So, think twice before you buy it if you are planning to use it with your existing 5.1 or 7.1 AV receiver or Amplifier using SPDIF.

Outputs are deceiving

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on March 27, 2022

Verified Purchase

Features I Like - easy to install, useful equalizer and voice clarity feature. I Dislike the fact ASUS misrepresents the outputs, as the SPDIF only plays stereo and you must use the analogue cables for 5.1 or 7.1 sound. I output the digital sound to my 5.1 powered system, but only stereo is produced. one would think ASUS can do much better as the 15 year old Creative card this one replaced played 5.1 sound plus DTS via SPDIF. At this time I am uncertain as to keeping the card or moving back to Creative (which also has its own problems).

No Driver for latest Windows 10 = Brick hardware

Reviewed in Singapore 🇸🇬 on December 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

Edit

Patch arrives on 2020 December 15. Card is working fine after installing the patch. Raising to 4 stars since installation is easy and card is working. -1 star for the frustrations due drivers issue previously.

Beware!

Bought this from Amazon.sg after reading all the positive reviews during November sales. Apparently, all the reviews are made a couple of months back.

After receiving the soundcard, I installed it into my motherboard relatively easily. However, after booting up, I was getting a "This device cannot start. (Code 10)". I can also verify the error under Windows 10 "Bluetooth and other device" where it will display as "Driver error". Well, since the package comes with a installation CD, I assume there needs to be something installed separately. And since most computers don't use CD/DVD ROM anymore, Asus does provide the driver to be downloaded from their website. That is when you might see the mention of "the digital signature of the 0x80096010 object has not been verified.". And the installation does stop with this error. Contacting the Customer Support will redirect you to this same page regarding "the digital signature of the 0x80096010 object has not been verified.". However, the current resolution does not apply to my computer since I can't find the security patches mentioned in the fix. The only solution is to wait for Asus to release a driver patch with the following schedule:

ASUS will release the new drivers to fix it, the schedule is as follows:

2020.11.30: ROG Centurion (ROG 7.1) (New driver already released to support site.)

2020.12.14: STRIX RAID DLX, STRIX RAID PRO, STRIX SOAR, Xonar AE

2020.12.24: Xonar U7 MKII, ROG Strix Wireless

2021.1.4: Xonar U5

My suggestion: Don't buy until Asus release these patches since we won't know whether it still works as Windows is still rolling out security patches every now and then. My card will probably be over the return period when the patch is released and any hardware error can only be resolved by warranty. Or Asus can simply say the product is not supported for Windows 10 and there's nothing I can do but sell it off to someone who isn't running Windows 10 for a loss

This product was used because I did not want to downgrade my sound system when getting a new motherboard. Installation was the hardest part. It took many hours to get any sound and more time to get the card to not make a clipping noise. After that the sound was great.
