I bought this card because of its simplicity and it...s ability to drive non-amplified speakers. It works very well with Windows XP and you get the Soundbaster mixer to set it up, although it has no Tone Control. It also works with Windows 7, but setting up the features is not as straght forward because you don't get the Soundblaster mixer. You have to go to "Sound" in Control Panel to set it up.
This sound card is the best card that has been manufacture...d to date! Few cards are as good as this. Acoustically speaking; its qualities are impressive; Recalling also that this model as well as the AWE-64; He also has great output power; which is great; because thus avoids the use of amplified boxes; who need receive power supply to work!
