Pros & Cons
Pros
I usually install hardware first, but the software package just gave me the impression that i could install it first, and it worked fine. The card itself lights up attractively after a lot of fiddling with the software. The good news is that this thin... Read More
The quality you get for the price is exceptional. Very clean and exacting.
The rizen 5700g is a pic-e 3. It is powered by the x570 asus prime-p3700xg. The card is compatible with windows 8. And 8.
Cons
Sometimes disabling then re-enabling the device in the device manager fixes it. Turns out the have skimped on their licenses for dolby for spdf optical outputs. The software is the worst you will ever see.
The morphs are silly and get old after about a day. And 3 minutes later, it happens again. No fix. Which is one of the most absurd things i've ever heard.
Will never be purchasing from creative again. Their products routinely fail and if you have one that makes it 6 months past end of warranty then your one of the lucky ones.
Three-wire wiring makes for a sloppy look. Not good if you want a consistent theme going with the rest of your lighted build.
A constant whining sound that never seems to go away. Sometimes power cycling fixes it. Sometimes it doesn't. I know when it happens because the rgb light on the sound card will be red instead of multi color.
Highlights
Quality
The extension module is of good quality and quite convenient once you get used to it.
Majorly improved the sound of everything and there are many settings on the software!
1 system and i can say it can challenge even the sound quality of a mb-burmester 4-d sound system i could not be more satisfied.
This card gets you that, installed the card, connected it to the output to my classic stereo system with a & b speakers and, ye... Read More
Price
So glad i bought this at a very reasonable price.
I definitely recommend this to anyone willing to spend a bit of money for very nice sound.
So this ae-5 plus is the closed card i could find under $140 that even cam close their thx card i had since 2007.
Price was a bit steep for my application, but it was a must buy.
Competitiveness
Sounds much better than realtek on motherboards and more options.
So much better than the realtek that came with the motherboard.
If you connect this to cheap desktop speakers, you won't hear any difference.
In this case the ae7 was my top choice, the ae9 was a little over the top for me and the ae7 was so close to specs that it all ... Read More

I bought this card because the audio hardware in my stock windows 10 system couldn’t handle the demands of ableton live 12 prolevel audio production software

The problem with this card from the perspective of someone who uses it as i intended is the microphone input
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Unfortunately the mic input is the standard budget mini stereo “line in”
