3 out of 5 stars bare bones   November 30, 2008
as previous reviewer stated, very easy to install. beware that if you are accustomed to a soundblaster live! card (as is my case), the audigy comes with minimal software. most notably absent is the graphic equalizer, which i quickly found necessary to replace ($20 and up). very bass-ey sound, this card.


5 out of 5 stars Does a great job   November 26, 2008
This product has made music and gaming sound come alive in my house. I would say the quality is very, very good overall; and downright brilliant if you factor in the price.

if you do not have a full size computer case, save your money. I purchased this card to upgrade the integrated sound card that came with my computer. unfortunately, they do not specify that this product only fits full size comuter towers.

When I discovered this fact I contacted Creative Labs, the maker of the SoundBlaster Audigy SE card and was told that they no longer offer the compact bracket nessessary to make it compatable with my computer.

when buying a sound card make sure it states that it has a low profile bracket or chances are it will not fit your computer case. (most desktop computers sold now are compact towers).

I'm sure it would be good product, if only I was able to use it.

Kudos to Amazon for their easy to use and clear return policy.



5 out of 5 stars Cheap and effective   October 12, 2008
Using this card with some x-540 speakers, and it sounds pretty much great so far!


5 out of 5 stars A bargain!   October 2, 2008
Before purchasing Augidy SE SB0570 I was sceptical about its qualities. By the way, I only got it by chance as my previuos sound card based on the ALC888 chipset stopped working suddenly. I thought I would only purchase a good quality card by selling my kidneys so I never minded much about getting a good card. However, Creative Augidy SE has changed my mind. It's unbelievable how a such inexpensive device could brought the sound quality of my desktop to a much higher standard.

Main improvements: clear and open midrange, good soundstage (with my previous sound card it didn't exist at all), trebles better defined and better dinamics.

As an audiophile I'm able to recommend an audio stuff. Believe me, the refered sound card is a bargain. Of course, don't expect a hi-end performance, but it's good enough to play those badly recorded MP3 files.

Highly recommended!
