An okay product. On the plus side it's nice an comfortable, and the mic is quite good. But the bass can be very over the top, and rather annoying at some points. If you like bass, go for this, if not stay well away.

Was looking to upgrade my sound quality, but not wanting to pay any huge amount of money. After reading the reviews on this card i decided to go for it. And wow! What a great sound card for such a small price!
The one thing i do have to warn people of, if you use crappy speakers with this sounds card, the sound quality is awfull, as the card tries to send out sound quality and pitches that the speakers cant manage. Make sure you have a good sound system to go with it. The combination that Amazon recommend it s great one, and just happens to be what I have!
I bought this sound card as my new HP pavilion laptop seems to have a terrible microphone. No matter what i tried (including plugging an external mic into the laptop) It was either to quiet or it distorted. After trying the stores demo model with the same results i wondered if an external soundcard would fix my issue.
This Lindy audio adapter was so cheap it was worth a try and I thought if it solves the issue i'll then look for decent sound card later (no point spending out on an expensive one for an experiment i thought)
But the Lindy does all i need and the sound from the microphone and the headphones it perfect so i have decided to stick with this now.
If you are looking for superb surround sound you wont go wrong with this sound card...for the price it has to be among the best out there!...a very impressive product!

I read the mixed reviews and decided that I would give this a go anyway, believing that possibly the negative reviews were from users who did not have much patience or technical knowlege. Having said that, you don't need much technical knowlege because it is fairly straight forward. You need at least direct x9 on your computer - but dx10 will also do - I ran it on vista no problem (with dx10). After an hour or so of playing around to find out how everything works, I got it recording my vhs to avi without problem - had to play about a bit with the sound to get that right (in vista) due to humm/hissing - but in the end all fine. I don't use their bundled software - instead I use a nice free little download called 'golden video'. Have not yet successfully ... Read More:

I bought this with the sole intention of using it with my laptop for DJ'ing. I had previously just used the laptop's built in sound and wasn't impressed with the overall sound, too bright. This little gem sounds superb, a nice balanced sound that made my laptop sound a lot more professional. I was worried that the USB would add latency and cause trouble with outputting 4 hours non stop music, I needn't have worried, the Sound Blaster handled it all without any trouble. Well pleased!!

With over 400 pre-recorded tapes and 100+ bits of vinyl, I was looking for an inexpensive solution that allowed me to convert these into a digital format. I ordered this on the strength of the positive reviews I'd seen here. I'd be a liar if I said I hadn't some mild concerns about the negative reviews I'd read also. I needn't have worried - this didn't disappoint. The only minor niggle was that the instructions on how to set up your PC catered only for Vista users - I still run XP. Other than that this product does what it says on the tin. The results from tapes in particular are impressive. My only problem now is finding the time to copy them all and whether to buy an I-Pod to store it all on!

I bought this sound card from Amazon to use with my Logitech Z5500 5.1 surround speakers and my HP laptop. I am using the system mostly for high-quality (lossless) music and movies, but never tried with games. At the moment, the sound card simply works with all functions it is advertised for.
The only lie on the advert of this product is the EASE to set it up. Yes, I agree that it is pretty easy to get analog sound from this sound card (taking about 10 minutes or so). But it took me a week to pass "true" digital 5.1 DTS/Dolby sound through TOSLINK optical port of this card from the laptop to the speakers. (For those who care about tackling this SPDIF issue, the trick I figured out is so simple: go to Creative support site, download and install ALL updates available.) ... Read More:

It's an easy to use and great sounding device. I was looking for something that sounds great but in a small form factor for portability. The portability and sound quality cannot be matched. It almost sounds as good as the desktop Fatality version I own. It also carries with it 1GB of storage and the software installed on my Toshiba Vista laptop and was ready to go in seconds. I don't need more channels than the two stereo ones because I bought it for listening to music and watch TV shows so I am quite happy. It includes a USB extension cable preventing breakage in the USB socket when you accidentally tilt your laptop. It also comes with not bad sounding earbud headset with a mic.
