What Others Say
WOW!!!
Ok, I was using integrated sound with a 2.1 speaker setup. Mostly I play games with headphone so my wife does not kill me. I am using my plain headphones with this card and play Lotro and CoD4... The sound is outstanding. I hear everything out there. Little footsteps I did not know the game was making. Dear walking behind me. No body sneaks up on me any more. Its wonderful.
Another Example of Razer's Poor Quality
After a buggy Razer Diamondback mouse and 2 pairs of broken Razer surround headphones, I should have known better than to buy this garbage. If Razer put half as much money into QA as they do into marketing, they might last more than just another couple of years.
Awsome
I have 3 razer products including this and they all blow me away. The sound card is amazing yet unless you have speakers that have individual inputs then they might not give you the performance your looking for.
Razzer sound card
i always have higher end hardware. i got rid of my creative xfi fatality to get the razer and dont regret it one bit. have had turtle beach when it was hot and every level of creative. please note i am using the barracuda headphones the nice onbes hc-1? and a set of z5500 speakers from logitech. the configuration possibilitiesa re awesome and much more user friendly that creative console. and looks awesome in a clear sided case
Not happy with the AC-1 Sound Card
I bought this sound card with the Razer gaming headphones. When everything is working the sound is phenomenal. Unfortunately, I am mostly stuck with only the center channel working when I use the headphones, and when I use speakers I often have random channels cutting in and out for no reason.
This really could be a killer sound card, but Razer needs to work out the bugs first.
