Good Points
Seems more of watching DVD's or movies on your computer, but its still good for gaming.Cheaper than Creative Labs which can be $125 for a 7.1 sound card. This is $60.00
Bad Points
No one seems to have it except tigerdirect.com
General Comments
The Maya 7.1 made by Audiotrak is mostly just for surround sound for things like a DVD plater and Home Theater on your PC, but that doesnt mean its that bad at gaming. The Maya works on Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP. The Maya 7.1 comes with WinDVD 4.0 by InterVideo, nTrack Studio by FASOFT, Maven 3D pro by Emersys. I haven't had any problems with it and it seems quite easy to install, It's capabilites are TruSurround XT, SRS Dialog Clarity, SRS TruBass, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital.EX, and ICE for up to 7.1 which takes regular MP3, and WAV. files and converts them to 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 surround sound. All and all its pretty good for a PC Home Entertainment set.
