All user reviews of 4/5 for the Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Music

Disappointed by the synths Hypercanvas, I wanted a card to exploit the Sounfonts Freeware to make me a synth GM / GS ridiculous price: 90 euros
(See https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoundFont )
My PC is an Athlon XP 1.8 GHz - RAM: 512 MB 200 MHz

UTILIZATION

The instalation of drivers and software is very long: 10 minutes
Incompatibility critical departure met and resolved by connecting the card to another PCI slot (?)

If you have the means RACK prefer the version with it's still more comfortable for use in home studio!

GETTING STARTED

No pb stability because the CPU usage is negligible in Midi file playback, however dense.
Waiting for a Linux drivers (large delay it deserves a nasty note) :-(
Not yet tested with the MIDI hardware or recording, but with the new driver no one seems to complain (this was not the case with the first version).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 weeks and I am more than satisfied.

His outstanding play MP3.
Its fantastic MIDI SoundFont using the free TITANIC! I know of no better playback quality noon yet! He buried all the good stuff expensive (> 1000 euros) I've tested so far. For me it's a revolution!
On or unbeatable value for money not to mention the quality of 5.1 sound playback for movies or PC games even with a simple headset. As for playing karaoke or midi file is also the map to try without hesitation, because hyper hyper versatile and powerful!
