Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Fx V2 Upgradable Hi-res PCI-e Sound Card with 5.1 Discrete and Virtual Surround, Scout Mode, SmartComms Kit for PC

Creative sound blaster has always been my favorite audio cards. This product is so good. Sounds great even with my old speakers. It auto detected my set up and worked with minimal configuration.

After years of use, the sound on my MB abruptly stopped working. After trying everything I could think of, I gave up on it and bought a cheap $12 sound card that I saw advertised all over the web. That lasted for about 2 weeks before it stopped working too. I then bought this card. It was simple to install, and it has been working great. Before, I was able to plug my headset, which includes a mic, directly into my PC headphone socket, but with this sound card, I needed to get a "headphone mike splitter" to plug separately into the headphone socket and the mic socket of the sound card.

Upgraded from a 8 yr old PC to all new. The sound on my new ASUS MB was junk, to say the least. Cracking sounds, speakers randomly cutting out on movies, music wasn't loud enough. Installed a SB card and what a difference!! Sounds are crisp, music is deafening, movies are in perfect 5.1, and gaming is next level (it's creepy to hear some of the background sounds you never heard before). The software that accompanies the hardware is a perfect match. I've been using SB cards for decades and they never disappoint. The price point on this model and the features you get are unmatched. I highly recommend this upgrade.

I still own an older Logitech analog 5.1 channel surround system, so I needed a solution on my new build. Most modern motherboards don't accommodate analog surround without plugging cables into ports on the front and back at the same time. Not sure why anyone would ruin the look of a brand new computer build with cables hanging out of the front like that. Decided to get this, and so far it has done the job nicely, and works will with the three analog 3.5mm connectors I have to plug in. No noise that I can hear. Only complaint is that the driver has gotten funky a couple times when the computer goes to sleep, making the output switch up left and right channels. That requires me to open the Creative software, and switch to 2 channel and then back to surround.

Was skeptical when I installed it given how tiny the card was. Yes, I've owned Audigy, Xonar and other Core3D cards before switching to on-board and those were all much larger than this one. I wasn't keen on an add-on audio card since the previous one blocked the airflow of my 3080 graphics card. This one has a super small profile so it works a charm. I decided to buy this since the on-board audio (line-out) and DP audio passthrough via the monitor left me with very low volume output and muffled speech. I use a Logitech Z623 2.1 speaker kit. Pleasantly surprised at how this sounds despite the Realtek chip. Driver support and new updates on Windows 11 for this card are the other reasons I picked it. I certainly wasn't disappointed and the audio plays crystal clear. It could be a bit better for gaming though and I guess that's where the higher end cards come in handy. However, for my main use, which is to watch videos and light gaming (always single-player), this is just perfect. Highly recommended!

Added this card because my Motherboard sound was just plain adequate (Realtek/ASUS). Having good experiences with Creative Sound Cards in the past, I chose this Audigy model. Brought my sound and music to life. Easy to install. Don't forget to download the drivers and install the app. A must in my opinion if you want good sound quality.

Audio pop/crackle when playing windows sounds. No response from Creative. Spend a long time trying to resolve, gave up and removed hardware. Confirmed it is hardware and/or software related to this item because the onboard Realtek audio does not do this with the same exact speaker setup. Save yourself the trouble, this is not the Sound Blaster of old.

Purchased July 2025 - died end of September 2025 (of course return window closed in August) - had a brief power flicker and now sound pops and hisses. PC connected to APC surge protection, everything is properly grounded, outlet, electrical box, etc...hooked up my 5.1 surround system to old PC and speakers are fine. The sound card was working flawlessly before but now seems to be overheating maybe. Listening to a 2-3 hour podcast is fine for about an hour before speakers start popping and hissing.

Works as expected.

جميل ممتاز يوجد كرت اخر اساسي هاذا ثانوي

Placa de excelência !! Muito bom o som dela, seu softwere e instalação. Pena que a expansão é separada. Foi a sucessora da minha X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty ...Creative é o que há em qualidade de som. Seja em cards assim como saídas de alto falantes. AHHH SIM COMO SEMPRE CHEGOU BEMMMM ANTES !! VIVA A AMAZON !!

Excellent build and sound Quality, Value for Money. Works as Expected. BASS is Excellent!

Siempre he sido fanático de Sound Blaster desde que lanzaron sus primeras tarjetas de sonido, pero hace un par de años abandone a la marca porque tuve muchos problemas con una Sound Blaster Z, sin embargo, me decidí por esta tarjeta por su compatibilidad con Windows 11 y la verdad ha sido una grata sorpresa, un sonido muy superior al sonido integrado, ocupo mucho TIDAL, con unos altavoces Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 y ¡suena increíble!
