OK Card, but doesn't work with Flight SimulatorAugust 16, 2008 This card has performed OK for me in other areas, but it will NOT work with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 or FSX. It doesn't just not work; it actually causes your computer to spontaneously reboot, so you not only can't play but you lose a lot of time trying to figure out the problem. However, as long as you don't go into Flight Simulator, it seems to work fine. I suspect it is incompatible with the later versions of DirectX.
Not compatible with Flight Simulator XApril 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The sound card was not compatible with Flight Simulator X and caused it to lock up even without the gameport being used. The game port was not recognized by Win XP and there were no instructions on how to configure the gameport. In fact the product specs didn't even mention that the game port was there. Overall a disappointing product.

I am in full agreement of the first review! No amount of coaxing has worked for installing the 16-bit card, so I bought the 24-bit card, same thing! I emailed and called costumer support, however there is no support. No return emails, nobody is ever available by phone. Stay away, do not buy, be warned! You get what you pay for.
Good sound card for the moneyDecember 11, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
You can't loose with this sound card if all you want to do is upgrade what you would find on a typical motherboard. Nothing fancy, just noticeably better and at a good price. Mike
Easy to install and good soundMarch 19, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I ordered this card to put in my mother's computer. She needed a basic card for listening to online music and such - nothing fancy - and this fit the bill. Install was a snap and took perhaps 10 minutes. I encountered no problems with drivers on XP and she was back up and happily listening to music within 15 minutes. Perhaps not the card for a picky audiophile, but great as a no-frills, good quality card which delivers surprisingly good sound for such little money.

The 5.1 channel home-theater-in-a-box system features five tiny speakers - each about the size of a golf ball. The system, matched with a compact, single disc DVD/CD player/receiver, includes a unique subwoofer that helps the tiny speakers create sounds typically reserved for full size speakers.
While the system features small speakers, it packs all the power of conventional home theater-in-a-box systems with 450 watts of total system power (satellite speakers 50W x 5, plus 2-way subwoofer 100W x 2).
