"First Impression"
Pros: Excellent sound quality, Reduces noise
Cons: Not user friendly.
Summary: Ok let me tell you how this thing works, when i said its not user friendly - You cannot plug and unplug this card as easily as you think u can.
I have observed a few things when the card is connected and you shut down or restart your computer it takes a hell lot of time, so the work around for this was i have to unplug the card just before i switch on my comp or shut it down.
Ok now lets go step by step:
1: If im listening to some music on my laptop and i plug the card and attach a head phone or a speaker to it then u cannot hear anything thru the card. you have to stop the song close the windows media player and restart the song.
2: If you listening to the song thru thru that card and now u remove ur speakers or headphones attached to the card, u might not hear any sound from ur laptop speakers, u have to do a setup in the aoftware that came along with the CD , to allow it to play the sound from the speakers when the head phones are not connected to the card.
3: u will observer strange things like, if u unplug the head phone from the card, no sound will come from the laptop speakers, sometimes u have to restart the system, and if u double click on a song to play it while another song is playing u will hear the song getting stuck before the new one starts.
4: some times u will observe that the sound comes from the headphone when connected to the sound card as well as the laptop speakers at the same time, i do things like removing the card restarting the song etc to stop this or i uncheck the option of play thru the laptop speakers when card not connected from the software.
Also u have to hold the card when pulling out the head phone or speaker jack, i did not hold it and the sound card came out and the song i was playing was on the iopd which was connected , the system hanged and now it says no music on my ipod, i lost 6000 songs, thanks to this card.
Thats why i said its not user friendly, u have to get used to work arounds to make it work smoothly.
Hope this Review helped, mail me on nickel369@yahoo.com if u need to know anything more.
