Pros: Easy install. Online driver updates for XP. Sounds awsome with 5.1 speaker system.
Cons: None yet
The Bottom Line: Of all the sound cards out there everyone knows that creative is the most popular since the ice age. Audigy is one of the best deals out there.

| sumoboy's Full Review: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer Sound Car... |
I updated my sound system to surround sound and chose the Audigy gamer with Cambridge 5.1 system. The sound card was an easy install compared to the speaker system(wiring up 5 speakers and the sub around the room) but after the setup and driver update installed for XP I was on my way to a new sound experience. After the initial test from the supplied cd which worked fine I listened to some music from cd's and mp3's and the ones with surround support was awsome. I then put in a DVD and for a pc the sound is great. Center speaker is a must for true surround. Then the gaming starts, my Audigy came with Deus Ex and Citizen Kabuto which both were awsome tests for sound quality. I just got Wolfenstein and just finished some scenes but the sound is crisp and clear. You can feel the footsteps behind you and the gunfire. I think all around that this is a great card for the money and recommend it. I am running a p3 800 with 3/4 gig of ram 19"Viewsonic A90f monitor,10x dvd, Plextor cdrw,ATI Rage Fury Pro 128(which the next upgrade),Asus Mb built by me. I like to listen to quality and recommend this card.
