The choice

Reviewer Comments:

‘Installed and got up and working in less than 20 minutes. Markedly better than the old "came with the system" soundcard. Has no trouble playing other sounds while you’re listening to music (a big problem with my other card. Highly recommended.…(Read More)

I’ll recomend this card if you just want a 16 bit sound card. what you’ll miss is the 1024 midi voices that a SBlive has… but if your goal is not to play midi music then buy this. You’ll get a 32 voices polyphony soundcard with multitilmbral capabilities! as the original Ensoniq, this should be the choice of anyone that wants to make music with trackers.

Great Sound Card
Exactly what I was looking for
read stuff about pops in the audio…

Reviewer Comments:

‘I use this card with a Windows XP box and it works just fine. Installation was no problem, and I didn’t have any pops/clicks the other reviewers noted.

  Great Product
  LOVED this sucker for hooking up outside dev. to computer!

  Reviewer Comments:

  ‘My Dell PC has an integrated soundcard, which provided mediocre-at-best sound quality whenever I tried to listen to Internet radio stations through my compact stereo system. I researched a whole slew of internal sound cards but read too many complaints about software glitches/slowdowns which made me balk at forking out $80 and up for them. This USB external card does what I need perfectly: at…(Read More)

  I bought this unit simply as a replacement for my Dell laptop sound card, which was very noisy. What I got was much more.

  I use my PC when I am learning new tunes on my guitar, so I usually have my sound card line out going to a small mixer where I mix in my guitar effects unit then ultimately out to a set of powered speakers. The MP3+ fits perfectly into this set up with no noise. I can also …(Read More)

  I work as a disc jockey, and I couldn’t be happier with this little sucker. Liked it so much, I not only bought another, but on other systems I’ve custom built for clubs that have their own internal system, I’ve gotten it.

  Your pc, yes, including the aforementioned Windows 2000, will see the device as a “usb sound”… no installation of ANY drivers has been necessary on either my SHOW pc, or m…(Read More)

The Sound Blaster website has a very clear cut article on how to do this. If you do not completely uninstall your previous card this new one will have conflicts and lock your computer up. Also you will need to dow…(Read More)
