Real Sound from my MP3s and Internet Movies!

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2007
The Bottom Line: It is an easy way to let the music escape your computer and be heard on your home theater like it should be.
Review: I purchased this sound card as a replacement for a previous Sound Blaster that died. (It did so after 3 years plus of service, so I'm not complaining, it was more than likely damaged in my move last fall).

Very good for what I needed and wanted-connecting to my home stereo

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this if your needs are similar to mine. For HTPC this thing works great for me. Easy to install, and transfer, and easy to use.
Review: I'm not sure how this thing sound with speakers hooked up to it yet. I wanted to connect my PC to my home stereo, primarily for DVD movies and I wanted to be able to hear it in dolby/dts. I was already using the digital output on my standalone DVD...
