I received this card yesterday and installed all the necessary components. This review did not cover speaker performance one bit which is a major failure in this card as it sounds terrible with my analog 5.1 setup!
Probably the biggest let downs for analog speaker use is: 1 – there is no LFE subwoofer control, therefore my klipsch R110SW is being forced to output bass incorrectly leaving a huge frequency gap in the 120-200hz range.
2 – no dolby upmix packages are included for analog speaker outputs, the inbuily upmix sounds narrow and terrible.
Even the best onboard audio solution have no subwoofer control , your expectation well exceed reality.
Beside that this card is focusing on gamer market , over 90% of their analog speaker setup is a pair of front speakers.
Yeah but that’s onboard audio, for something that you’re paying extra for then I’d expect to have control over these features.
True but again I’d still expect to see it at this price point.
Quick question, is the virtual surround a “real” surround trick? And by that i mean, does it fool windows into thinking that there’s actually a 7.1 system plugged in or is it a simple stereo expand?
What I fiend weird is that Asus uses a USB2.0 audio chip together with a PCIe to USB converter. So essentially this is an internal USB Audio card. Because there are enough PCIe audio chips available, the only reason I can think of is that Asus wanted to cut down driver development and with this solution they can use the same driver for internal and external cards. I agree with Bulletlol that not having a LFE subwoofer frequency control is a let down for a product at this price.
Com on man, my ancient Asus P6T motherboard has a 10 band equalizer! What is with this limiting 8 band equalizer on this soundcard!?
lol, if the 8 band isnt able to correct for room/speakers/setup, the 10 wont either.
I don’t use the EQ to correct the audio for the room, I use the EQ to correct the audio to suit my taste, this is especially true since I wear headphones more than I use desktop speakers.
No difference.
Good cans will only need improvement on low or high frequency, if they need more than that, not really good headphones.
Unless we are talking about cans in the +800$ range where sometimes you have to compromise a little to get the better overall experience.
Then again, i don’t know anyone that spend more than 500 on cans/speakers, and doesnt use a +200$ card, which allow for swapping components to adjust the sound, hence limiting the need for additional equalization…
