Don't get that card. I used to have it but it would randomly output max volume static... Not a fun experience.

Had the same thing with a Xonar DX, probably got some permanent hearing damage from that.

MM yes. Thanks.

I’ll offer that I’ve had the DX for probably a decade and had zero trouble, but of course YMMV.

I had a Xonar about 15 years ago. Can't remember the model. Its surround sound has a delay on the rear speakers, made playing games in 5.1 impossible, horrible reverb effect. The official drivers didn't fix it, I had to get a non-official driver pack to fix the issue.
