| gil1908's Full Review: Guillemot Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II Soun... |
This card gives you a very nice set of features and sound quality for a good price.
It has a nice control panel and it works great. I think it is a very good competitor for creative.
There is also a digital in/out (SPDIF) but DON'T BUY IT FOR MINIDISC RECORDING! The spdif out cannot put track marks on the md! I contacted Hercules support and they confirmed that it is a known issue (April 2002). I still don't know when it will be fixed.
I even considered returning the card for this reason, but I decided to keep it because it was much better than my old soundblaster vibra 128 and because in my country there is no other alternative for digital recording in this price.
