        Very good for gaming

        I'm happy with all the settings, especially the channel level settings.
        No Win 11 drivers, though.
        It smacks of programmed obsolescence.

        Opinion after installation.

        Replacing a perfectly functional Asus Xonar D2 under W7...
        I've now switched to W11 (X64)... => Change (inevitably...) motherboard = PCI card slot becomes PCIe !
        I chose this new Asus sound card because of its similar characteristics to the previous one.
        => The sound is almost the same on Altec Lansing speakers.
        => On the other hand, the equaliser settings are less linear and therefore less precise and more restrictive...
        => Finally, when I collected the box from the shop, it was perfectly clean, new and closed, but the card was 'wandering' around in the box (without any damage).
        What's more, the multi-language, multi-model manual did not in any way explain how to access the software (Sonic Studio) used to adjust the various settings on the card. However, the advertising and photos on the box clearly showed that this was the case!
        With the assumptions automatically generated in these cases, I managed to find in :
        https://www.asus.com/fr/motherboards-components/sound-cards/gaming/strix-soar/helpdesk_download/?model2Name=STRIX-SOAR
        File to download: Strix_Setup_Pilotes_1.1.22.zip
        Installing these drivers and drivers contained in this Zip would automatically install the "Sonic studio".

        high quality sound card

        I took this card as a replacement for a lower-end one, and it's excellent in terms of rendering, almost surpassing my Bose compagnon 2 speakers.
        I've been using this card for a while now and it's a good choice for me.

        The rest is perfect for the delivery.

        Décu

        I would not recommend a sound card, there are "sound effects" on some games (CS:GO for example) in the background, but silence is very important for a FPS, the product is expensive for its quality, and moreover it makes a ticking noise (three at startup and 2 at shutdown). It can work for games that don't require quality sound but in this case a sound card is useless.

        Not recommended

        Maybe my problems come from my configuration.
        Coupled with Logitech Z906 speakers, the sound is very good, when the Strix Sonic Studio software lets me choose the options that should normally be present (5.1 / 4 / 7.1 / etc..).

        Good sound card

        Quality amplification, no breath noise even at very high volume in Windows.

        However, the dedicated headphone jack suffers from crackling in my home... Nothing to report on the normal stereo jack.

        Sound card

        I am currently satisfied with the sound card, the settings are easy to make, the quality is very good, I recommend it :D with a small studio microphone it's perfect, after that it depends also on certain software.

        Quality sound card!

        For me the sound is very nice, you can distinguish well where the sounds come from, it's useful for fps!

        It's a good idea to use it on Windows 10.

        This sound card allows me to use my gamer 7.1 headset to its full potential.

        The price/performance ratio is very good, I recommend this product!
