I had problems with my onboard surround sound. I bought this card to remedy it. I don't have a lot of money invested in my sound peripherals, therefore, I didn't want to spend a lot on a sound card.

Faulty motherboard caused me to buy this soundcard. Worked just as expected for a low price. Saved me the hassle of sending the motherboard back.

Simple installation. The cd that was provided had the correct drivers; however the rest of the software on the cd would not install on my x64 machine.

Instructions are easy to follow even for a beginner. You plug it, let the computer install the drive and you're good to go. If you're just looking into getting sound off your computer this is as simple investment as you can get.

Simple but effective sound card - if your having issues with your PC's on-board sound card this is a good choice to replace it. If looking for "Studio" type features from a sound card, as if in wanting an "up-grade" however this is not the one to choose. But overall, good choice for a "quick fix".

I bought this thinking it would be great for a sound card to use so I could plug in my mic to my PC. However, I was wrong. This doesn't even fit in my 5 year old pc build, because of how dated this card is. Who still uses these? Jeez.

An older sound card that is in the process of being phased out.

I installed Windows 7 on an older system and the motherboard audio did not have any drivers available for Windows after XP. This card solved the problem by being compatible with Windows 7.
