I've been using creative sound cards for about 10 years now. They have been excellent sounding and feature packed.My first was a Sound blaster live gamer 5.1 in 2000,and it is still working well in the computer I let the kids use. My next creative product was(and is) the Inspire 5300 5.1 speaker system. The sound was and is great.Then Came time for me to upgrade my computer so,I went with a top of the line 1st gen Sli rig. Being a gamer The onboard soundblaster chipset sounded great but,I knew,from an FPS point of view,I needed a dedicated sound card so I went with what I knew and selected the Audigy ZS 2 Platinum. The sound blew me away for gaming and the greater dynamic range for music made this sound card worth every penny! Then came time to upgrade again,thanks to a power supply going up in smoke and taking most of my computer componets with it.(Managed to salvaged one vid card,which I gave to a friend, and my beloved Creative ZS2,or so I thought). So I built my new quad core rig,went crossfire this time with the MOBO instead of Sli. The MOBO came with onboard RealT3c which was disabled in BIOS from the get go because i was installing my Audigy sound card.Well plugged it in and installed my OS and all my software and was back up and running,right away I noticed some OS instability.I mucked about in the OS,trying to find the answer for days.Then It dawned on me to try one thing,I went into BIOS,enabled onboard sound,and removed my Audigy,and had no problems with my OS after.I Guess My old sound card bit it too when my PSU went in my old rig. So I needed a new sound card as the onboard just wasn't up to the standards of sound quality I had become use to. so, I got this sound card I then uninstalled all the drivers and software for the Realpiece then turned off onboard in BIOS,powered down,unplugged my computer and plugged in my new XFI gamer.Everything installed without a hitch; as far as making everything sound so much better? To me it sounds the same....great. If you are looking for a new sound card and have purchased and used Creative products in the past this sound card will not disappoint.
