The sound is amazing though, there really is more sound range, specially notice it in the lows, there are low notes which my headphones have never given before, very nice. They are holding just fine now but they're not the strongest connections in the world. The connectors were of a loose fitting, which wouldn't push in any more. Only problem was during the install, connecting the front panel up to the internal sound card. Well bought it today, very nice looking card, quality looks good too. The ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 PCI-E looks nice, although I would rather pay the little more for the X-Fi, price seems to be about the same once you count for the front panel. The speakers don't have a headphone output. If I was to plug my headphones into the front sockets (on the front panel (live drive)) it would be the same quality as the ones on the back of the sound card? If it is then I have no problem, I'll just buy the complete version with the panel (live drive). I'd look at another brandĪSUS Xonar DX 7.1 PCI-E Sound Card Review - Hardware Canucks I think CL have a couple with standard connectors maybe the Gamer and Extreme Audio? It's not as high specced as X-Fi though, it's a stripped down X-Fi. Unless you buy a soundcard with standard header ports - for case mounted headphone jack and 5.1 analogue out for your speakers. CL have gaming market monopoly, a couple of others have come out by don't support latest EAX.
Mine worked fine for about a year after that it occasionally disappered in device manager, and requires driver reinstall.
Problem with X-Fi is - at least with current models- is disappearing problem. Yeah the problem is you already use the 5.1 cables, but you need headphone out as well so to sort out uplugging issues you need either the live drive (for the headphones only) Or if your speakers have a headphone output on the amp module.
