Terratec Aureon 7.1 Universe

I bought this card to his cot "all in one":

Faade in the rack:

Between-mic with volume control
Between phono-
Between-line
Between digital and optical-
Analog and digital-output
-Headphone output with volume control

Behind the pc:

Analog-7.1 (front / rear / center / surround back)
Afternoon in & out
Between analog-
Digital-output

+ A fully configurable remote

With all this, the vinyl sampler (out any other source) is done in a jiffy.

I use this card with a bit Exceeds pc: amd 850, 512 MB memory and 80 GB HDD

UTILIZATION

No worries of installation, the card is recognized immediately by Windows XP, just put the cd and the card is installed.
The manual (in French) is complete, pleasant read and even humorous at times skin: an example that other brands should follow.

GETTING STARTED

I use this card for only a short week, I board not had time to go around but until now fawn complete everything works perfectly.
only concern: the loss of the card driver after an update of Secure Windows (a monitor placed in the next day)
Caution also disable the remote when you want to use the noon (for example a virtual synth): Can not get the two at the same time but not annoying.
my rating is 8 due to loss of driver ..............

OVERALL OPINION

After one week of use, I am satisfied with this card trs:

Taking the microphone voice: perfect
Audio Recording vinyl and analog audio: perfect
Its output: rich and powerful
latency with virtual synths: trs good

I have not had time to test the recording spdif or the quality of sound in 7.1 (I have no system that goes with it).

This card is really a Russianness, report quality / price excellent.
I do not regret my purchase

When I bought this card, for aa t apparent price quality ratio, prsence the facade of a rack and multiple takes.
I use it with Guitar Rig and solo recordings, guitar and / or voice on a PC Athlon 2.6 GHz, 256 Ram, 80 GB hard drive is more than enough to say what I do.

For more details, see the Previous comment.

Until the very little say is correct (note that there is a tlcommande ... convenient for those who want to make home theater).

UTILIZATION

Installation was no problem Droulez, everything worked the first time.
However, the latest drivers are much better than those delivered on CD-ROM, the sound is better and easier to use.
The configuration seems simple enough, I say appears, you will understand later.
The manual is simple, complete, the limit could be almost same without it.

GETTING STARTED

Yes the drivers are stable, but the sound (in between) is crap! (Excuse me, but it's not for lack of any misconfigured I spent a few hours!)
In fact it is even not a question of drivers, but this map captures all the buzz of fans came to the first click and mouse movement! And do anything, even change the PCI slot, or unplug the monitor dye mouse rsoud nothing!

In short, can not record a clear, limpid and clean (even with good pramplis trs)!
As for sound output, must admit that there is not much diffrence with my old sound card intgre the motherboard.
The latency is low (missing is a. ..), I know not calculate but at least I've never heard.
I record on a single track once and rarely costs more.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 months seems to me there.

I really do not like the noise infmes foutute this card, but the connection is varied, the tlcommande is more like the rack facade.

I have not tried other models before buying this card, and I am very sorry ...

Report quality fair price if you want to watch a DVD with all the speakers or show off with something that is pro, but if your a musician, go your way (emergency!).

Today, I would do not have that choice.

Buy for computer music
Use with guitar rig
ASRock K7S8XE v3 motherboard, Athlon XP 2500 +, 1G DDR400 ram, 200GB disk

UTILIZATION

Problem-free installation
no conflict
Manual franais clear

GETTING STARTED

Drivers compltement unstable zero at zero. Forcing reboot (sometimes several times) for the sound. Unacceptable!
Loss of same during the session.
Drivers rarely update.
Latency (when it works) almost zero.

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 6 months
I would do probably not the choice
and I advise you to flee this card like the plague.

I use this card in high-end stereo speakers altec lansing voice of the theater and active filtering on digital amp;

UTILIZATION

The installation is very simple because the logicle provided is not signed by Microsoft.
so I went into device manager and I installed the card from.

GETTING STARTED

I have no problem of stability of driver
do not make update as there is a problem with mcsoft
I use foobar player, which allows me to make the active filter upstream and therefore without having purchased a case crossover

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 5 years
the sound is superb, very audiophyle
I do not know if those other models of motherboards (zero) and those of other friends (not terrible)
value for money is unbeatable
I would do this choice
