Product Description

Upgrade your game! An amazing upgrade over our well-received Sound BlasterX G5, the Sound BlasterX G6 immediately improves your audio, giving you a much more enjoyable experience compared to what you get from default motherboard audio or any other USB Gaming DAC in the market.

The USB sound card works with PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC, and combines a virtual 7.1 32-bit/384kHz, 130dB USB Digital Audio Converter (DAC) with our awesome Xamp discrete headphone amplifier for incredibly detailed audio. It also boasts Dolby Digital decoding, virtual 7.1 surround sound, game-voice volume balancing, Scout Mode, and Sound Blaster’s 30 year legacy of impressive sound enhancement technologies.

Works with PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC

It doesn’t matter which camp you’re in – PC or console – we’ve got you covered. The Sound BlasterX G6 features a wide array of connectivity options – optical, USB, and even line-in – which means your gaming audio will be instantly improved whether you’re on PC, PS4, Xbox, or even a Nintendo Switch.

* Voice communications is not supported on the Nintendo Switch or Xbox One

Impressive Surround Sound and Accurate Positioning

With support for Dolby Digital decoding and 7.1 virtual surround sound, the Sound BlasterX G6 reproduces your opponents’ footsteps, gunshots, and other audio cues with remarkable accuracy.


Activate Scout Mode to give yourself a distinct tactical advantage! This tried and tested technology enhances important in-game audio cues – such as footsteps and weapon switching sounds – allowing you to quickly and accurately pinpoint your opponents' location before they pinpoint yours!	The jewel in the Sound BlasterX G6’s proverbial crown is our custom-designed Xamp discrete headphone amplifier. As opposed to single amplification found in other gaming DAC amps, Xamp amplifies both audio channels individually. You’ll enjoy more detailed audio on highs, mids, and bass. Xamp will drive any gaming headset excellently, but it goes even further than that. The ultra-low 1Ω output impedance perfectly drives performance-grade sensitive 16Ω in-ear monitors all the way to studio-grade 600Ω headphones.	The specifications of the Sound BlasterX G6 are impressive. It serves as a 32-bit 384kHz DAC with an ultra-high dynamic range of 130dB. The DAC features an oversampled multi-bit modulator with mismatch shaping technology that eliminates distortion, ensuring that audio is streamed with the highest level of detail and fidelity. The Sound BlasterX G6 also supports hi-res PCM and DoP audio formats.

Great sound, Dolby Digital killer feature for console use, nice upgrade over G5

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2018

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

I had been using the G5 for a few years as a means to get decent headphone audio from my PC, as well as my TV through its optical out. The G6 improves on it in almost every way.

The sound is better, and it was already pretty good. Be it playing Master audio tracks in Tidal and getting better separation of the instruments and better power, or the visceral thrill that separation and punch brings playing Battlefield 1. The sound is great. Except if I turn on 32 bit 384khz it does make clicky sounds and a there is a hiss sometimes before audio starts playing. I'm perfectly happy with 24 bit 96khz though. So I don't take too much off for that. Lets say 1/2 a star.

The Dolby Digital decoding takes the spot as the best feature they added. The difference in console games, in watching TV and movies. Its very noticeable over the stereo pcm before.

Then finally the one thing they did that is worse than the original, THE STUPID LIGHT ON THE FRONT THAT YOU CANNOT TURN OFF, nor easily tape over. I use this in my bedroom, I sleep in my bedroom, the computer provides it enough power while turned off to keep the light on. They wisely gave you the option to disable the RGB light on the top, but not the light by the dial. I'm reduced to draping black cloth over it before I go to bed.

Please stop it with these LEDs! It is unnecessary!

Looks very good, Makes big difference in sound quality

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2018

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

Background:
-I bought this product for music Production and Gaming
-This is the first time I buy a Blaster or any other product from Creative
-This is the first time I buy a Soundcard that doesn't come with my mother board
-I'm moving to 32bit from 16bit

After researching for quite a while, I found out that most 32bit soundcards cost around 250$-400$ and are NOT portable.
Since I move a lot between PCs and also use Nintendo Switch, I thought it may worth a try.
----------------------
Product Look:
-The device itself looks very good, it has a smart button layout and is not heavy as it may look
-It has lights around buttons so you're able to know which mode is on when it's dark
-The RGB logo in the middle is very cool and has options for color, cycling speed and more through the "Sound Blaster Connect 2" software on their site
-It has a nice light around the "volume wheel" but unfortunately you cannot change it's color apart from white/red
-The top surface is pretty reflective so it looks very nice around Leds/Lamps (see in pictures)
-----------------------
Softwares:
-There's a Driver, Firmware Update and "Sound Blaster Connect 2" you have to download manually from their site.
It can get annoying to re-download it on multiple PCs but it goes pretty fast.

-Inside the software you can switch between various sound settings modes that are made for specific usage
There are modes for: Gaming, Music, Movie, FPS and famous sound-sensitive games like:
CS:GO, Fortnite, COD, Overwatch, Rocket League and Dota 2

-There are also "Voice Morphing' options that are disturbingly realistic
-------------------------------------
Sound:
-It amplifies sound VERY potently, to a point I can use my headphones like Speakers (DT 990 PRO)

-It allows you to hear a TON of detail you never heard without it, the music I produced before using it sounds 5x deeper and detailed now, to a point it's boosting the confidence I have about the quality of my stuff.

-I feel like I can now master my tracks and harmony to a greater depth, I love the level of sensitivity it gives me to play around with.

-It also decreases potently the delay between pressing my midi keyboard to hearing the result, even with multiple heavy samples (Make sure that you choose "Creative Sound Blaster Asio Device" as a sound device inside your DAW)
------------------------------
Cons:
-The main material looks metallic but isn't
-The device CAN get pretty hot after few hours of usage
-The bottom of the device feels fragile and weak if you apply even minimal force on it
-There is no physical Off/On "Power button" anywhere on the card, means I cannot instantly hear my stuff without enhancements
-There is no option to change the adjustment wheel's color/color intensity (as far as I know)
-The USB it comes with is way too short for a "portable" card
-VERY VERY small letters on the Warranty information that come's inside the box
------------------------------
Tips:
*You should use a longer Mini-USB
*You WILL need to re-adjust to some of your games, this card gives you depth and intensity you never played with before
*You should find the right software/mixer settings that will fit your game-play and headphones
*You need to Manually change the Hz/Bit Value to 32bit Studio Quality on your PC's Sound Device options
*Some games/applications doesn't support 32bit, in these cases you will need to go down to 24bit 44.1hz .
(Examples I know of: Osu!, League of Legends, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel)

Great Mixamp Alternative

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018

Color: 24-bit/192kHzVerified Purchase

Bought the SoundblasterX G5 as I wanted an alternative to the Astro Mixamp. I play on PS4 only and own both the 2013 and Mixamp TR versions but wasnt happy with the sound quality. Im not a fan of virtual surround sound so i never used that feature. I basically was using the mixamp as a amplifier. Did some research on the G5 and bought it. Setup was super easy and it works incredibly. The overall volume is much louder than either mixamp yet has much better quality. Currently alternating between a Logitech G Pro headset and the Hyperx Cloud Alpha and the G5 drives them without breaking a sweat. Very impressed with the G5 and highly recommend if you want a dac/amplifier but don't want a mixamp.

Really Good Sound

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2018

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

I'm a huge fan of Creative and the whole SoundBlasterX G series. I had the G5 also.

The sidetone on this thing is amazing. Whether it's connected by itself via USB or double amped on Xbox I get really good feedback on my voice talking. It's also great that you can adjust the sidetone on the fly with the volume wheel.

I like how there is basically no static back onto the headset. I use 150 ohm headphones and when I set the amp to high power mode I don't hear a hiss noise. I also like how the amp presets are set for 16 - 149 ohm and 150 - 600 ohm. With the previous gen G5 I didn't know what setting to use because my headphones were 150 ohm. I'm glad they clarify this now.

It does suck that there's no hardware based profile button anymore. With the G5 I used to like adding more and less bass on the fly while on console but now you have to hook it back up to a PC to adjust settings.

I don't like that USB chat doesnt work for Xbox.

There needs to he a hardware or software based voice/game volume balance for console also.

This thing is great on PC. The software let's you adjust anything you want. It even has RGB lighting for the X logo.

The new discrete X amp provides a difference. Sounds seem more separated and independent of each other. There's a whole cleaner sound to this compared to the G5.

I like how it now recognizes Dolby Digital through optical.

Despite some missing features from the G5, it adds a bunch more so it's best to compare the specs. Audio quality is way better on this in my opinion.

Umstieg von AE-5 auf G6

Reviewed in Germany on March 2, 2019

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

Streiche Creative Sound Blaster X AE-5 - setze Sound Blaster X G6

Gute zwei Monate ist es her, dass ich mir einen neuen Spiele-PC samt interner Soundkarte namens Creative Sound Blaster X AE-5 zusammengestellt und zusammengebaut habe. Auch ich war von den Treiberproblemen der AE-5 betroffen und fand nie so richtig Spaß an ihr.

Am 28.02.2019 entschloss ich mich dann zum Kauf dieser hier angebotenen G6 externen Lösung und war von Beginn an positiv überrascht. Nicht nur, dass die Lieferung wie angekündigt am nächsten Tag erfolgte, es sich bei der Verpackung um eine ungeöffnete, original verpackte Ware handelte (kam bei anderen Lieferaten und Mitbewerbern auch schon mal anders vor), die Verpackung auch genau passend durch den Hersteller gewählt wurde und der Inhalt strukturiert und übersichtlich angeordnet wurde, sorgten für einen positiven ersten Eindruck.
Nach dem Auspacken der G6 samt dem mitgelieferten USB Kabel, welches ausreichend lang ist, damit man die G6 zum Beispiel auf das PC-Gehäuse oder dem Schreibtisch legen kann, befand ich die Länge als passend. Zusätzlich liegt ein optisches Kabel bei, welches für den Anschluss z.B. an Spielekonsolen verwendet werden kann. Frage die ich mir stelle ist, ob ein gleichzeitiger Anschluss beider Kabel an einen PC irgendwelche Vorteilen bringen kann?!
Die G6 habe ich ausschließlich per mitgelieferten USB Kabel angeschlossen und die Soundkarte würde durch Windows 10 64bit mit aktuellen Windowsupdates sofort erkannt und im Hintergrund installiert. Ohne den nativen Treiber von Creative war bereits die maximal mögliche Wiedergabequaliät zur Auswahl in den Soundeinstellungen möglich. Nach dem Einstellen der Standardgeräte und der Volumenanpassung überall auf 100%, installierte ich die aktuelle Sound Blaster Connect 2 Software, welche im Gegensatz bei der AE-5 hier nun bei der G6 perfekt funktioniert und auch die Einstellungen speichert.
Die Konfiguration ging leicht von der Hand, ich nutze die G6 ausschließlich im Direkt-Modus und befeuere meine Beyerdynamic MMX300 damit. Einzig in Ego-Shootern nutze ich zusätzlich noch den Scout-Modus, somit wird wirklich alles hör- u. ortbar.
Ich nutze in der Connect 2 Software ebenfalls die Einstellungen 100% beim Volumen, habe aber alle Verstärkungen zum Beispiel beim Mikrofone aus. Einzig das "interne Mikrofone" lasse ich in der Connect 2 Software auf 1% mitlaufen, da ich mich so minimal selbst im Voicechat höre und keinen Druck auf die Ohren bekomme.
Die ganzen "Helferlein" wie Surround, Bass etc. habe ich aus.
Einen Unterschied wie Tag und Nacht macht es aus, wenn man z.B. dass MMX300 statt mit der GAIN L dann mit der GAIN H Einstellung befeuert. Der Kopfhörer wird noch mal deutlich lauter, was bei Ego-Shootern sehr hilfreich ist.
Die Musikwiedergabequalität bei Apple Music u. Spotify Premium ist von der Lautstärke und Qualität sehr, sehr gut. Das Hören per Kopfhörer macht endlich Spaß.

Ich kann diese Soundkart uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.

PS: Nachtrag vom 15.03.2019

Auf Reddit gibt es mittlerweile unter dem Suchtitel Creative G6 Driver neue Treiber und eine neue Firmware. Läuft top!

Sound Blaster DITCHING Software support for the G6!!! better to buy the EVGA card....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2020

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

So, I have been a long time buyer, since the 90s of sound blaster products and while back in the day it was quite easy to get their sound cards working, times have changed. I will keep it short, but the Sound blaster software is HORRIBLE! the G6 uses Sound Blaster connect 2, which sadly Sound Blaster is ditching for Sound Blaster command, which their AE7 and AE9 product uses, also remember AE5 does NOT work as intended on the New Command software, and partially works with the Connect 2 software, (I had it, sold it on.)

If you want proof of all these, you can head on over to reddit /r/ SoundBlasterOfficial and you will see many unhappy customers. Sound Blaster has not fixed their product since launch and you will have nothing but headaches with this.

Also do note for the sound quality of the G6, it's bad. Bass is super poor, everything is flat.

I promise you, if you buy this you will hate it and return it. The unit is not good, and Sound Blaster does not do anything to fix their problems. They do not listen to the community either.

EVGA now makes sound cards, which I did buy. And so far it has been AMAZING! best sound quality, £100 cheaper than the AE9 and sounds better.

Sound blaster will make attempts to ask us about our problems but when we contact them, their support are like robots, they do not reply properly, they dodge questions, and they just give us automated scripted replies.

Worst DAC ever - stay away it's waste of money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2020

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

Not sure where to start there are so many problems with this device.

Well let's start from constantly disconnecting - well not disconnecting from USB but it just stops playing or music or when you are in the game. It simply stops without any warening and the only way to bring it back it pull USB out and plug again. While you plug this device again - you better remove your headphones otherwise you will be welcomed but amp initialisig which is laud bang in headphones - shocking.

For 3 weeks I was trying to figure our why my videos in Chrome, Firefox or VLC will stop playing - and guess what - unplug the SB G6 and it works - magic wand (widely reported but not in any reviews just when youstart looking for it you will find loads of info). Plug back in the videos will play for 10-15min they will stop again.
(and no there is no energy saveig or anything like this enabled on my OS - this happens on all windows machine I have) MAC seems to be more stable but TBH default MAC sound adapter sounds 100x better than this premium thing.

As to the sound - oh this is such a dissapointment I have no idea how this device got any rewards, the sound randomly gives you crackling, too much bass out of nowhere even if direct input enebled without the software which I don't even want to talk about as it's a chaos.

Tested on Ikko 1, Ikko 10, HifiMan etc - also tested by professional who said the power is impressive but thats where it ends.

Sound effects in games - maybe in fast shooters they do work but on many occasions while playing games where you need to sneak upon enemies the sound of fire on the other side of the building was lauder than enemy steps or even sounds directly around you. Terrible in general and I'm so dissapointed after watching and reading all those brilliant reviews.

I will be talking to SB as this is just joke not device - and by the way yes I do have new firmware which changes nothing and I got the feeling that disconnections are more often than before.

Great hardware, shame about the software!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 21, 2019

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

I purchased this sound card as an upgrade from internal motherboard sound, which couldn't drive my Beyerdynamic DT770's especially well. I was hoping that I'd be able to use it on both my PC and my PS4, which indeed I can - it works as both a USB sound card and a standalone DAC with optical input and virtual surround.

The sound quality is excellent. Personally, I've turned off all the bells and whistles (SBX mode, Scout mode) and tried to go for direct mode, as they don't add to the experience much for me on high quality headphones. Listening to music, I get really clear sound, and it is able to deliver bass to my headphones properly (usually where most built in headphone amplifiers fall down, in my experience). When gaming, it's easy to hear the position of sounds - there's no distracting distortion or fuzzyness. On a PS4 (using optical input), and setting up Dolby 5.1 codec,virtulised surround works well and the quality is excellent (just with SBX and Scout turned off!). Though I did encounter a lot more noise than on a PC (maybe my USB power supply is to blame).

I mention this first as sound quality is, for me, the most important part of the product and what I paid the premium for. However, there's one drawback - the Sound Blaster Connect software, the drivers for Windows, and the firmware for the device itself. They're pretty dreadful, I'm afraid!

On many occasions, the volume knob on the hardware just stops working. I noted, if you turn the knob *too fast* it skips rotary encoder steps and so actually changes the volume more *slowly* the *faster* you turn it - the encoder isn't being polled quickly enough (this could be fixed with a firmware update). Sometimes, if you're changing settings like the sample rate, it'll just plain stop working entirely and you'll have to reboot your PC before it'll come good again. Sometimes the External Mic input will work fine, but the Headphone output won't. Sometimes the reverse. Mic Monitoring has too much latency to leave enabled. If you unplug the hardware and plug it back in later, you might encounter various glitches (like the volume knob no longer working, or the mic monitoring no longer working).

I really hope that over time the software will be improved, as it's a very capable bit of hardware which is being let down by the software!

It may be plastic but sound like gold :)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2019

Color: 32-bit/384kHz + Dolby DigitalVerified Purchase

I bought SBX G6 to replace Astro MixAmp I've been using with my PS4. I'm not an audiophile by any means but I can appreciate good quality sound. And it sounds like quality. I use it with HyperX II headphones and it sounds wonderful. The sound is clean, crisp, low tones are nicely balanced. It feels that the little box has got much more power hidden in it I'd never fully utilise it. I even started using the combo for PC gaming (Logitech G933 rests in a drawer for now). I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend G6 to anyone who wants to take gaming to next level :) 7. 1 sound good too. I tried G6 with PS4, PC and iPad and haven't experience any issues. Just a tip, if you're PC gamer make sure to change speaker setup to 7.1 in windows sound settings, otherwise you won't be getting surround sound. It's set to stereo by default, at least it was so in my case.
