Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Turtle Beach Riviera 5.1 ChannelCustomer Review: It Just Works Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this card three weeks ago instead of the Audigy 2 ZS. I was told by a friend that this one was just as good for the average user. He was right. Unlike the Audigy 2 ZS this card requires no configuration to work properly. The drivers were found and installed by Windows XP automatically with no problem and no conflicts either during or after the install. The sound is excellent with no line noise or artifacts.
Unless you have to have the latest and most elite or you are an audiophile who doesn't play MP3's because you can tell the difference in sound quality between them and CD's this card is an excellent buy. And it's far less than half the price of an Audigy 2.
Pros:
Super easy installation
Great sound quality
Price isn't beaten anywhere for a product of this calibre.
Adjustable environment controls (movie theatre, padded cell, concert hall and others). Unheard of for this price.
Software to replace and enhance the anemic windows volume control
Cons:
Lack of a real manual (not needed, really)
Funky software based setup of jacks for 4-6.1 channel speaker systems. Could cause some confusion.
No hardcore certifications like THX.
