Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum has just redefined quality audio for high-end music lovers and gamers. It offers expanded front-panel connectivity with infrared remote control and is the only PC solution to enable the Advanced Resolution DVD-Audio era with 24-bit fidelity playback at 192kHz-stereo and 96kHz-5.1. With 106dB SNR, 6.1 speaker and Dolby Digital Surround EX support, this is the home hi-fi that outperforms domestic audio packages and carries the THX quality stamp to prove it! For MP3 enthusiasts, Creative MediaSource offers exciting features like Library search, SVM automatic volume matching across tracks and Audio Clean-Up for noise removal, while SB1394/FireWire allows super-fast transfer of files to devices or PCs. Finally with the power to enable EAX Advanced HD and 64 3D hardware voices, it delivers the ultimate in-game audio immersion, while bit-true 24-bit/96kHz recording and ASIO support make it the ideal all-round solution.

Top notch sound card!

Author's Rating: Rating: 5/5 stars

Pros: Very high quality sound, 24 bit sound, lots of plugs for add-ons

Cons: Poorly written software

Author's Review
This sound card is by far the best I have ever had. It throws off such realistic sound. I am currently using it with a pair of 5.1 Zalman Headphones.

The unit comes complete with a nifty control unit that fits into any standard 5.25" bay. You can plug a pair of standard headphones into it, and control the volume from the knob.

The control unit in the expansion bay also comes with a remote. So you can change the volume, mute and change other sound settings on the fly.

On a negative side, Creative could have done better on the software. Even on my Dual P3 system the sound bar for the volume control takes a second or three to load. This is because their software overrides the default windows sound system and installs it's own proprietary sound suite.
