Reviews for Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card

BUYER BEWARE, SB1040 / 70SB104000000 - NOT AN X-FI...

Strengths: Nice sound, optical in and out, cheap, BUT, as I later found out AFTER purchase, as I saw no disclaimer nor information indicating otherwise on any vendor sites nor the Creative Labs site, this is NOT a true X-FI chipset card, a cheap knock off branded as

Weakness: NOT AN X-FI CHIPSET CARD, BUYER BEWARE OF CREATIVE LABS Creative Labs admitted to me this card is not an X-FI chipset card, and that it so-called "emulates" X-FI via software. Yeah right, and if that is the case, a Ford Escort can "emulate" a LT

My last purchae was an Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro which was not cheap, and I fully expected more only to be VERY disappointed that I got a cheap knockoff of an X-FI card that was misrepresented.

Does anyone else feel as if they have been misrepresented by this card not having an X-FI chipset on it while being marketed/represented as an X-FI product line offering

Pretty aight

Strengths: Better clarity than the onboard soundcard. Crystalizer and CMMS-3D is the bomb for my 5.1 x-540 from logitech

Weakness: Not reall a X-Fi product. It is just a rebranded audigy or something

This thing is alright. It makes my 5.1 sounds way better than the onboard sound on my mobo. would buy it again. NOT really a gaming soundcard, but it's ok still sounds good if you mainly listen to music.
