Remarkable good quality, films and games/music sound a lot clearer than on my onboard realtek chipset. I am operating a pair of 7.1 surround headphones by means of it and it sounds excellent.

Excellent sound excellent! A noticeable distinction when compared to my onboard sound. Operates perfectly so far. The card is rather significant. The mic input is all the way on the end and is partially blocked by my situation. I have an adapter on the finish of my mic and I can't plug it in at a excellent 90 degree angle.Also, the drivers that come on the CD are NOT SUPPORTED by Windows 7. They installed anyway and totally locked up my computer about four occasions prior to I was in a position to eliminate them. The Windows 7 drivers are downloadable from the organization's internet site although. The moment I installed them almost everything worked fine. A small bit expensive, but I wanted to make sure my card would operate with W7.

- Sounds Fantastic- Has a front panel connector- Lots of ports in the back - Good for games/movies - The disk it comes with does not assistance Win 7 so you have to download drivers from internet site. They should update the install disk to assistance Win 7 but thats about it no need to have to dock an egg for that.

Wonderful product with a leading level audio chipsetHigh develop excellentFront Panel connectors NONE. I have owned this item for year two years and the only concern i've ever had is trying to figure out which of the 8 or so 1Ǟ" jacks in the back is the appropriate one particular for my desktop Pc speakers! I did a ton of analysis (as a lot of of you have if you are contemplating this product) ahead of purchasing. this company is little and veryt focused on good quality personal computer audio, so this item is fantastic, but the chipset (C-Media CMI8770) is extremely strong and is the reason i bought the card. It is really excellent and is applied in significantly additional costly cards. In some of there other models you can ever replace the DACs i think.

Solid card, gold contacts.Software program is effortless to use, I just messed around with it for a bit and had every little thing sounding excellent in a handful of minutes.Sound from this card is terrific, I have some pretty decent five.1 Logitech speakers from four years ago, they haven't sound a lot greater than my old Audigy two ZS card. The jacks on the card are extremely close to every single other, fortunately my logitech speaker wires were able to fit.Some men and women mention the labels on the card for each and every output/input becoming upside down bothering them, however this didn't bother me. This isn't a con but when I want to listen to music, I have to set it to 2 channel input, but if I'm playing one thing like Starcraft 2, I will need use 6 channel input. I possibly want to research how to set winamp/wmp to output to 6 channels so I don't have to switch between the two, otherwise my music only comes out of the 2.1 portion of the program.

Wonderful card, best sound good quality, worked flawlessly with Windows 7 64bit and Ubuntu ten.04 / ten.10 64bit.There could be no "official" drivers for Linux, but Ubuntu has no issue employing the card nonetheless. Little popping sound can be heard when Windows loads the drivers, but that's Windows for ya. No such point takes place in Ubuntu. My subsequent sound card will come from HT Omega again, I can undoubtedly say so. Bought this mostly for Dolby Digital Live which I use with my Astro A40 sound system.

- The optical connection clicks whenever a new sound file is played. The line out jack does not perform. The card seems to have windows 7 compatibility troubles.

Amazing audio excellentUncomplicated to intall.Optical outputHT Omega is recognized to have excellent assistance, and the web website is very helpful for answering questions. None. I have this set up in a Windows 7-64 HTPC connected to a Yamaha RX-V565, and the quality and clarity of sound from this card is truly outstanding! I tested some DVD-Audio disks off of the onboard audio (on a diverse Pc)that has a Realtek HD chip using HDMI output connected to the Yamaha reciever, and there is a noticeable difference when making use of this card in 6.1 DTS-ES playback. I'm not certain what a far more high priced card would do that this doesn't, but I would get this card again for another HTPC create with no batting an eye.

Like it, driver leaves a small footprint and doesn't crash my system like Inventive drivers do. Superb sound. Very advised. Documentation was sparse but it's a sound card, what's to know.

Functions.Good sound.Win7 Drivers work fine. When I got this, no sound came out whatsoever. Immediately after attempting distinct drivers, googling around, at some point went to talk to their tech support. Jason @ HT omega was pretty thorough and helped me get a replacement card in less than 2 days. Key purpose why I gave it 4 as an alternative of 5 eggs was my 1st one was a dud I had to RMA. The second one did work though, so that's what matters. The sound difference from my onboard sound(it's By way of chipset on a M4A78T-E mobo) for my AD700 headphones wasn't as well wonderful, but I did notice a slightly more varied soundstage and enhanced bass although.

Excellent sound, Windows 7 64 bit driver package works okay, and has an AC97 front panel audio connector to enable all the functions originally built into your computer system. In all probability far more of a Win7ኜ concern than an HT Omega 1, but there is a "pop" throughout boot that I think about to be when the driver loads. I assume that is a Windows 7 problem as there appears to be no repair, though its not really that negative. I picked this card on the recommendation of some folks on a Windows 7 forum, and based on my experience so far, I would acquire it yet again. The machine I have installed it in (HP XW series workstation), soon after installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, is really picky about drivers but this card performs & sounds excellent.

Worked well for the 1st 3 months (just extended adequate that it is out of warranty). No longer functions at all, tried many pci slots and neither windows nor linux says that the card is even connected to the motherboard. Was hunting to escape from awful drivers from a well identified competing brand but it looks like I am stuck there or with onboard sound. Don't waste your funds on this card. This isn't a complaint with Newegg, they have usually been good and I will continue to bring my enterprise here.

Plays back 16-bit audio. Does not play back 24 bit audio, not even listed as an option in the computer software, nor a function on the HTO's internet site. Was advertised by newegg and other internet sites as capable of carrying out this (Newegg has due to the fact corrected the typo), as noticed basically by googling the item name and checking the newegg product page link. Newegg need to inform buyers that not too long ago purchased and are nonetheless in the return policy of goods which had been falsely advertised as having attributes they will not ship with.

Almost everything about card is great. Fantastic CLEAN, CRISP SOUND. Straightforward to install drivers/software. As soon as installed software is a breeze to use. Instruction manual is decent. All in all, Just proper. none. I was a shocker that motherboard's sound card would not decode digital/DTS sound out of RCA coaxial or SPDIF pcm outlets (Asus P7P55D Deluxe), attempted everywhichway to solve dilemma with Asus consumer service to no effect, so I had to shell out the ๪.00 for this card, and it was worth just about every penny. Far better, clearer louder sound than any other motherboard integrated sound card I've ever had, or any other PCI sound card I've ever owned. This card rocks

Upgraded from a SB Audigy2 ZS which crashed Win7 no matter what driver version. Be confident to download the Win7 drivers from the HT website.

Good sound, when it functions properly. Regrettably, a lot of Windows 7 64-bit users, such as myself, are obtaining out the difficult way that a excellent piece of hardware is only as very good as its drivers. When you can get it to install, it destabilizes the complete technique, causing blue screens of death, and other nasty stuff. Normally, the drivers hang on install, and don't seem to be in a position to the card at all. These unstable drivers have been probelmatic for numerous users for months, and still, Omega hasn't upgraded their drivers.

Quite Crisp Sound (Win 7 64 Ulta) It may take a couple of instances to install correctly into pci slot. On my 1st installation try, I experianced a clicking sound whenever I began recording (Stereo Mix). But soon after I uninstalled and re-installed the card it all went away.Maybe it could be my tower or m-board but any other card that I've tried in that slot fit fine.

Compared to other sound cards? None. ~Audible hiss~Major issues with Win7 It initially installed and worked fine, but whenever I'd turn it up or use headphones, there was a loud, audible hiss. I had to stop making use of my headphones completely mainly because of it.A couple of month into getting the card I suddenly identified myself not getting sound. I checked the device manager, and identified that the card was listed as getting an unspecified 'problem'. Windows wouldn't recognize it, and the drivers wouldn't install. Hours and hours of analysis later and it appears that this is a issue that HT is nicely conscious of. Their assistance? Put the card in a different PCI slot.Contemporary motherboards don't have a lot of PCI slots. In fact, the only extra PCI slot on mine is adjacent to the PCI-E slot, which is blocked by the video card fan. In other words, rather of fixing the difficulty with their driver compatibility, they are tossing off an unworkable solution and ignoring the dilemma.Don't get this card if you're utilizing Windows 7.

7.1 out, Dolby Digital, DTS. and it is a great sound card, the sound is much better comparing to supremefx and z5500 New Win7 drivers avaliable so driver problem is no more. jacks are not color coded but gold plated instead.. Knocked 1 star out for that, poor fit into the case also.Yet another star knocked simply because MIC IN is not working on my card. Just send e mail to ht omega Asus Crosshair 2 with Tv Card Hauupage PCI-e (small) tends to make leading PCI-E16x unusable. HT Omega in PCI-E in middle, makes middle PCI-e16x unusable. NO SLI for ME.DD and DTS on the card or on my Logitech Z5500. To use Z5500 need to use DIGITAL out either on the card or onboard sound. Before the card I applied supremefx onboard digital out to z5500 but games DD do not operate that way for some purpose, hence why I bought the card. Also what threw me off was the EQUALIZERazation. which suggests that z5500 is tuned for itself so it sounds fantastic with the speaker sizes it makes use of. HT Omega doesn't know what sound sytem you have so it sounded flat and weak initially time I connected analog out to z5500. Basically the bass was gone but soon after small tuning the card is incredible and z5500 will never be in a position to do that, which is make things on my desk vibrate even at low volumes and this card does. now if only MIC in worked.

Sound high quality, definition, and separation had been superb for as long as the card worked. Card died right after only eight months use. I bought this card from NewEgg on January 12, 2010. It worked beautifully with my 7.1 surround speakers on my laptop or computer. No complaints whatsoever at that point. Jump ahead eight months to September 20, 2010. I woke up and turned on the computer system as usual, dead silence greeted me. None of the systems events which had sounds linked with them, played, MP3s had been silent, no sound from any o f my games. Checked the cables, reseated the card, etc., and so on. Absolutely nothing has helped. Switched back to the MB built in audio, every little thing works perfectly. Switched back tot he card to double check, still no sound. A ๪ is hardly leading of the line, but I nonetheless anticipate it to last far more than eight months. My old SoundBlaster cards which I utilised a decade ago lasted for years without having any problem. Based solely on my knowledge I would by no means suggest this card to any person.

This card has worked flawlessly for three-years now. Windows/XP Pro SP3. None. I have the Line-out to a split line for Left/Right RCA plugins into the back of a Pioneer SX-1280 with stereo Bose speakers. For the dollars it Kicks... :)

• Easy to install and functions on Win 7 64 bit• Sounds wonderful and didn't break the bank• Drivers and computer software are bloat free• Header for front panel headphone and mic hookup Connections on card are not color coded and a small challenging to study. I replaced a Creative card that had tiny support for my Win 7 64 bit method. This card is much superior sounding and even though the computer software may possibly seem minimalistic, it’s ideal for my needs. I'm employing it with Logitech 5.1 speakers and now movies and music come to life. I’ll never ever purchase a Creative card again.

Straightforward to install, needed a driver download for Windows 7 Ultimate, but once downloaded it worked correct away - no reboot required.Effortless to use control panel, already have five.1 audio output to my Sony receiver in a matter of minutes! So far, this factor is good! It did have a tight fit against the back of the laptop or computer...wasn't positive it would sneak in or not, but it did. Appears like a nicely built card. Drivers had been clean. I've only utilised Creative Labs cards in the past, but the truth that my SoundBlaster Live! card was only supported on Windows 7 through open supply drivers that couldn't do every little thing produced me upset so I decided to shop around for the initially time. With SPDIF on the card and great critiques it is so far living up to my expectations.
