    works very well

    posted by pjgaro on 05/24/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Cons:

    Sound card replacement

    posted by Mietitore on 04/07/2013 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

    Pros:
    + Sound seems to be ok for normal home use. + The installation on Windows 7 computer didn't require anything, just plug and play. + Excellent replacement for my broken integrated sound card.
    Cons:
    Some could say that the plastic casing feels a bit cheap, but this was cheap, so it's ok. So no real cons.

    Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month
