I think that this Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card is fantastic and should be used in other products
In England and Scotland we have our own culture dancing which is played in a lot of locations as long there is a power point to plug into this would be opportunity for you to design a cd player which you can plug speakers in to the player must have a text readout so somebody can control the music and controls for the choice of music
If you could put in the sound card as... (read more)

This is a fantastic sound card, which was a large improvement over my on-board sound system!

The sound card helps improve system performance as it does the job of processing the audio and leaves the main system processor to get on and do other things.

Although slightly expensive for my liking, you do get what you pay for! This card really does work well with a good speaker system - mine being a Creative 5.1 surround speaker set, which has lasted me years.

I can now set all my audio... (read more)

This doesn't always work, but try muting CD audio in Windows. Sometimes the whine is the CD-ROM drive running through the CD audio cable.

After almost two years, Creative has yet to fix the SCP problem. I eventually uninstalled the Fatal1ty and went back to on-board sound.
I recommend before buying this card, go to Creative's user forum and do a search for SCP and related X-fi sound problems to see if your MOBO is compatible with this sound card. Some of these threads were so long from disgruntled users, they were deleted by Creative last year. (read more)

Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty - I'm using it with the creative inspire 5.1 speaker system, excellent all round sound. I'd definately recommend THIS sound card for any serious gamer, not only will it save on system resources as it has its own in built processor & adds depth & amazing effects to games, especially first person shooters like F.E.A.R (read more)

Written on: 04/11/2005 by Mirko Sitic (1 review written)

Primarily bought the Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi Fatal1ty card for gaming as my onboard audio was not efficient enough with Doom3 , CS and BF2. With X-Fi I am now playing at highest settings with full EAX effects. The best of all the features is the surround sound over regular headphones, it is simply unbelievable. Another very cool thing about X-Fi is that it has an option to enhance mp3 so that they sound better. This appears a bit gimmicky first, but it works great. Somehow it adds... (read more)
