It is totally forgotten by his job without incident. Much quieter than original equipment circuits anonymous computers, especially laptops. The remote is a real plus.
UTILIZATION
Archisimple installation, especially if you already installed other devices Creative.
GETTING STARTED
Drivers without a problem. An update for 18 months. No noticeable latency.
Audacity, Mediasource, Winamp.
I use it in 2 channel (sometimes four, but headphones and speaker)
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 18 months. I would do the same choice at this price (110 euros), if an Edirol, better but more expensive.
A reproach (but at that price ...): No SPDIF coaxial digital input is the only optical (but the output was the coax + optical).
This is not a pro, the price is not pro either, it is necessary to forgive the lack of phantom power and balanced connections.
No power supply via the USB port. In my opinion this is not a defect: USB power poses risks of instability (including other USB Device in use simultaneously).See less00

Support for SoundFont 2.1 for MIDI playback
For optimal use the USB 2 is required.
UTILIZATION
For the installation, Ancun worry, I have no problems of incompatibility.
The Logitech is very well stocked and everything is very useful: setting levels for each output, bass redirection, surround sound for listening to stereo music in 5.1 or 7.1, management LIBRARY Music by tags, configure the remote to controlling any application, effects caraoké .....
There is also a very powerful audio editor Goldwave type or Wavelab.
GETTING STARTED
The drivers are very stable, I've never had a crash. I chose this card to the quality of sampling (24 bits, 96khz) and I was not disappointed by its A / D converters but I soon also apreciated the amenities of the 8 outputs. Mix a song in 5.1 what happiness.
With the remote, the computer deviend real HIFI is very friendly.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 1 year. Therefore a highly reliable I am very satisfied, I intend to also invest in another card from the same manufacturer as it gained my confidence.See less00- VipercrawPublished on 06/04/07 at 02:01 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Very good card to decode the digital music from your laptop, except for DTS which is not recognized. A mention to the computer music, huge latency.
UTILIZATION
Implementation rather simple, creative neat interface with comprehensive software (setting the cutoff frequency of the subwoofer for example).

Sometimes it was more recognized, I had to reinstall the drivers from time to time.

Long live the consumer society!See less00 - Audiofanzine FRPublished on 11/03/08 at 15:15(Originally written by lewkey/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
I bought this sound card in 2005. The sound is ok for a consumer product and it can route input signals directly to the output, so the optical and analog inputs appear as master in the windows control panel. I only use the optical connection to avoid contacts with the amp (I had a ground loop problem because the amp was connected to a MD player, which in turn was connected to the PC via a USB cable!!).
I used it mainly as sound card at home because my laptop had no optical connections.

UTILIZATION
No installation problems (don't lose the 3 CD-ROMs provided!!!)
GETTING STARTED
It was a bit difficult to fully understand the drivers operation in order to make a basic installation (to avoid installing unnecessary software that only uses up RAM, space on the HDD and increases CPU usage!). I have another USB sound card (USB Sound Blaster MP3+ - SB0270) but the product isn't listed any more on the manufacturer's homepage so I'm starting to worry about future driver updates!!!!
The latency is not exceptional but it is no surprise for a USB 2.0 sound card. More on this point: if you want to record a signal on an external USB HDD to play it back at 32bit/96kHz, don't use a USB hub because it will be overloaded and it won't ever have enough bandwidth for this!!!
So don't use a USB hub between the PC and this sound card.
OVERALL OPINION
There was probably a voltage surge in the USB slot where the sound card was connected to and it doesn't work any more. Sometimes the power LED lights on a couple of seconds but the PC won't detect the card so I think the chip is burnt or something (after 2 and a half years of use). It's a pity that the manufacturer didn't think about some sort of electrical protection for the USB connector (it can't be that hard to implement!).
Now the card is dead. It's a pity because it was a good sound card.See less00
