(More customer reviews)I bought this sound card 3 months back when I built my own PC (Pentium III 1GHz 256 Crucial Memory , ASUS i815EP Black Pearl Special Edition Motherboard , Visiontek GeForce2 Ultra 64MB Video Card , Creative 12X DVD Drive , Creative 121032 CD-RW ,LG 915FT Plus 19" Inch monitor.
The installation was pretty easy , the instruction manual was easy to understand and clear.I connected S4Midiland 8200 Dolbydigital 5.1 Speakers to the SPDIF Digital Output .I started to test this setup by playing some MP3's , and I was knocked off to see the quality of the Sound , it was Rich and clear with very good Treble And Bass , next I played some DVD's (Matrix) and it was unbelieveble .It was true 5.1 Dolby Sound.
But there are some issues with this sound card , especially the Drivers , Philips has updated the Drivers for Windows (95,98,2000)... it has serious stability issues with windows 2000 , I had many crashes in windows 2000 with this soundcard , so I went back to windows 98 SE and it is no problem now not even a single crash or Blue Screen.
Overall I will recommend this soundcard for anybody who wants true Dolby 5.1 Surround sound and plays lot of games , but be careful to use it in Windows 98 only.
Creative I am a big fan of your's but I think you lost the "RACE".
Good Job Philips , But please Revise your Windows 2000 Drivers.
