Hercules did a bit of false advertising here....

by suemccartin Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Aug 11 '02
Pros: Decent four speaker sound. SPDIF ports for connecting to the latest amplifiers
Cons: Digital sound not available for all output, only power DVD DTS stereo for movies
I was looking for a 6 channel sound card for my backup system. I have a early version of the Hercules Muse which is a decent card but doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some sound cards have. This card uses the Cirrus Logic Sound Fusion...

Move over Creative!

by rfman Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Mar 04 '02
Pros: Good value, optical digital outputs, seperate headphone connector
Cons: Odd proprietary analog audio connector. Lose it and you're in trouble.
In my search for a sound card to be used in my Home Theatre computer, I had set a few criteria that I wanted to respect. First and foremost, it had to have a digital output to connect to a receiver. That way I can get Dolby Digital or DTS sound while...

misadvertisement if you ask me

by erwin1978 , Aug 09 '02
Pros: optical jacks
Cons: no 64 hardware voice acceleration any more
When shopping for a soundcard, I primarily look for support for the latest sound APIs( EAX, directsound, etc.) and how many hardware voice acceleration the card is capable of. The Hercules Fortissimo2 soundcard had all those with an advertised 64 voice...

Big sound for $50

by like_gear , Oct 14 '02
Pros: Low price, great sound quality, excellent control panel software, PowerDVD included.
Cons: None.
While sulking around Tokyo after finding that the one store that sells English software didn't have PowerDVD, the logo caught my eye; it was a badge on the Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo II sound card box. I had been thinking about buying a new sound...

Soundblaster Beware!!!

by eezylistener , Jun 17 '02
Pros: Performance Ease of Installation Bundled Software(Power DVD, Yamaha XG,Control Panel) Price
Cons: No Games Included. About it
Ran across this card and never heard anything about it but took a chance on it based on the specs on the package. This card installs with no problems. The sound is un-surpassed in richness and clarity of any card I have owned which have been the...

Excellent Mid-Level Sound Card

by brainalien , Feb 20 '02
Pros: Cheap, cool blue look, excellent sound quality, slick looking menus. Good features.
Cons: Proprietary cable.
I think this is the best card for the money period. The card itself is Hercules standard blue, which is nice. It was very easy to install, as any sound card should be. The option menus for the card are very slick and easy to use. The 20bit DAC makes...

Good alternative for creative.

by gil1908 , Apr 09 '02
Pros: sound quality. features. price. Seperate headphone jack. Good support.
Cons: Digital output won't sync with Minidisc!
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...
