Review: Fantastic External USB Soundcard. - Arrives well packed in a smart box with plenty of foam inside to protect the sound-card. Unpacking there is the main unit, three cables (USB, Phono and Optical), and some booklets, one of which is a quick-start. The main unit is quite big so you better check the dimensions. Oddly the manual doesn’t mention a PC until the last page. However, a quick trip to the Sound Blaster site and you download the app, which makes light work of setting up the device through a very simple, friendly interface. The app also seemed to switch my onboard sound-card off and set everything up so the new unit just worked and that was that. By the way, the unit is powered through the usb port so if you want to use it without a PC you will need a USB power supply. The USB-C cable they provide can be used just to power the unit or as a data cable for the PC. It’s a type A on the PC end so if you have or want anything different you will have to buy your own cable. As you would expect, it sounds very good indeed and worked flawlessly. I wanted mine to replace the rather poor effort on my motherboard. The app is simple but actually contains a lot of features. If you have used Sound Blaster products before, there are no shocks. Gone are the days of tons of different apps, there is just one and it highly intuitive. Plenty of different effects or none at all for the purists. My guess is that you can install the app without the product to see if it’s to your liking (I didn’t try that, but I don’t see why not.). Recommended. A serious upgrade from onboard sound and a a really nice external package.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb
*by L***N on 18 December 2025*

Fantastic product. Bit pricey but if you have good speakers and good headphones it blows high end on board sound out the water. The difference in Driving Sims like Le Mans Ultimate is AMAZING! Worth it 😁 Works FLAWLESSLY on my Asus x870e-e motherboard no crackling or popping for me. Just download the creative app, install latest firmware and driver and it works perfectly. Happy Days.
