The Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI Sound Card from Creative-Labs is an excellent addition for gamers who are looking for top-quality audio performance. The card features X-Fi "Xtreme Fidelity" CMSS-3D and 24-bit Crystalizer technology to enhance the quality of video game audio. The sound card even supports 7.1 channel audio output without the need for a dedicated audio decoder. This is a great option for upgrading the sound quality of your computer.

X-Fi 24-bit Crystalizer
The sound card features a 24-bit Crystalizer that enhances audio output quality. The sound card features a processor that upconverts audio to 24-bit/96 kHz quality. It then remasters and enhances audio damaged by compression. This enhances both low and high frequency audio while also improving dynamics.
X-Fi CMSS-3D
The X-Fi CMSS-3D upmixes stereo content for surround sound. The audio processor intelligently mixes the audio to provide an impressive surround sound experience that is customized for your speaker configuration. It even works when using headphones.
Dolby Digital for Movies
The X-Fi fully supports Dolby Digital EX and DTS 7.1 channel surround sound when watching movies on your computer when used with Cyberlink PowerDVD software. This allows you to enjoy your DVDs the way they were meant to be presented.
Improved Performance
Using your motherboard's on-board audio for computer games can use up to 15% of your system resources. This dedicated audio card frees up those resources for better video game performance and frame rates.

Allot better than integrated audio. Plus you get options like equalizer for bass output and treble.

    Plug it in, follow the instructions, and it works.

    Audio on my games are awesome. With the additional processing power, I can run simultaneous voice connections on computer, where I could not without the card.

    Could not use the Mic. through my Trendnet KVR switch for some reason. Don't know why.
