Replacement for Asus Xonar U1, where the control software does not work after update to 23H2. Logitech Z-5500 speakers. The analogue outputs sound like a tunnel, there is a permanent effect (reverb) that cannot be turned off, only when using Direct Mode it sounds almost as good as the optics. Better than the onboard Realtek (which mainly forgot channel volume corrections), but functionally it could be better.
Dolby Digital Live encoding for optical output
analogue outputs and optics
chosen because it looks like the software and drivers are still regularly updated
FW update out of the box
2m long USB-C cable included
can't adjust channel volume when using SPDIF (Asus Xonar U1 could), same with volume
Smart Volume again doesn't seem to work as well as on the U1, early to tell
the control application eats CPU (only when in use) and is slow
permanent blue light around the volume control, I didn't find that it can be turned off - it lights up "medium", not extra much

New X870E board and it doesn't have jack ports for 5.1 speakers. So after years and hours of trying to crank up Dolby 5.1 sound through windows via optical cable, I gave up bought a soundcard and should have done it a long time ago. I'm finally using the 5.1 dolby speakers to their full potential. What's the point - neither windows nor the board have paid Dolby licenses, so in windows settings your dolby test works, you have the hardware to do it, but you don't have the licenses. You buy this sound card and it has it paid for and suddenly everything works. Not to mention the clear and powerful sound. Just great. Not to mention that you will never solve this problem in the future.

after connecting the headphones, some of their headphone addon was installed and the 5.1 sound on the speakers stopped working. I had to hard uninstall drivcery and delete the registry and reinstall. But I probably made a mistake in the beginning when installing the drivers - make sure you open the installer as administrator when you install them. I think that's where the problem was.

It's playing well.
Usb-c connections.
Plastic body like a toy store.
The controls look fragile.
Weak microphone input. Amplification only in the accompanying application.
You cannot take full advantage without installing apps.
Most of the features are useless to me. Mostly I needed a microphone and that's a bummer.

if you use mainly headphones, I can 100% recommend, SXFI is great. The headphone jack is called. combo-jack, so if you are going to connect a headset with two jacks, order the reducer right away: https://www.alza.cz/alzapower-3-5mm-jack-4p-trrs-m-to-2x3-5mm-jack-f-0-15m-adapter-cerny-d7327875. htm
with SXFI on, it plays really well in the headphones
works without installing Creative's software - in Win 11 it configured itself and plays immediately after connection
power supply and audio transfer from/to the computer with a single USB cable.
solid construction, quality workmanship, looks nice on the table
it is necessary to read the manual to get acquainted with the control, it is not exactly simple/intuitive

Just plug the card in and it works straight away, I recommend downloading the drivers and if everything works, turn off automatic firmware, software and app updates - the next update might be bad, which happened 3 months ago. and why doesn' t Alza mention the possibility of up to 7.1 connection, compatibility with PS4, PS5, Switch and Mac in the product? I' m looking for a sound card with 7.1 surround in the sound card section, and only then I find this ideal one in Amplifiers: D
great sound
very powerful amplifier, I recommend turning down the volume when connecting for the first time
connection for up to 7.1 Surround
software not much, settings are enough, but if you want good sound, EqualizerAPO is your only choice
I use the card without the Creative app, I strongly recommend solving all bass management and equalizers through external software such as EqualizerAPO, it plays luxuriously like a 2.1 system
