Review: Sounds great! - I recently upgraded my system and the new board was missing the toslink optical output. I wanted a decent quality sound card that had this port and found this card. So far it sounds great and works well. I am not a big audio buff but it is at least as good as the onboard if not better. I am sure if I had the right speakers it would be amazing. Cons: I have the latest version of Windows 11 and the default drivers would not work. I had to download the creative drivers. This was easy but I am a minimalist and would rather use built in drivers. Review: This is the best sound card that you can get for Linux. - This works in Linux without any special drivers. I bought it specifically for the MIDI synthesis functionality, which works as expected after awesfxload is used to load a soundfont. This card supports having many different programs send audio to it without any software mixing. I'd say its only flaw is audio recording. Its default mic capture is 8-bit mono, which is of course useless, and so to get good quality microphone recording, you have to utilize its 3rd capture device, which only supports 16-channel recording, as it seems to have a pair of channels for every recording source in the card. On the one hand this is kind of fabulous because it means there's probably many more options for recording here than you would get with any other card, but the downside is that you're going to have to get ChatGPT to help you write a /etc/asound.conf that creates a virtual device that exposes only the 2 channels of that 16-channel device that you want, as no recording software is prepared to record 16 channels and throw out 14 of them. In spite of that, I don't think there's a better card than this one that you can get for Linux. ## Features - Advanced chipset is designed to process the legendary EAX reverb engine for powerful enhanced audio - Immerse yourself in full cinematic 7.1 multi-channel audio, perfect for games, movies and music - 106dB SNR ensures a high level of audio quality and supported operating systems is Windows 8, Windows XP SP2 or higher, Windows Vista SP1 or higher, Windows 7, Windows 10 - 600 ohm headphone amp provides studio grade monitoring - High quality 24-bit 192 kHz stereo direct playback ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EO6X7PG | | Audio Output Mode | 7.1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #14 in Computer Internal Sound Cards | | Brand | Creative | | Built-In Media | Item | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,708 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00054651187245 | | Hardware Connectivity | PCI Express x1, PCIE x 1 | | Hardware Interface | PCI Express x1, PCIE x 1 | | Hardware Platform | Headphones, PC, Speakers | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.71"L x 4.72"W x 0.71"H | | Item Type Name | Creative 70SB155000001 Sound Blaster Audigy Rx | | Item Weight | 120 Grams | | Manufacturer | Creative | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Mfr Part Number | 70SB155000001 | | Model Name | 70SB155000001 | | Model Number | 70SB155000001 | | Platform | Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 106 dB | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 7.1 | | UPC | 054651187818 054651187245 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** 7.1 - **Brand:** Creative - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express x1, PCIE x 1 - **Platform:** Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP ## Images ![Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W-OC07JoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have a front panel header?** A: Yes, support Intel Front Panel header. No breakout box or drive bay though. **Q: Does the optical out support 7.1 or do you have to use individual wires for each set of speakers?** A: I am currently using this sound card to drive a 7.1 Gaming Headset with SPDIF connection. Windows doesn't let me "test" it in sound control panel, and it doesn't appear to recongize the SPDIF unless I go into properties and specifically test Dolby Digital output under the SPDIF out from this sound card. Playing a game like Skyrim or Battlefield 4 and ensuring the proper sound device and sound output options, I can hear things happening behind me, like a tank driving up or someone trying to stab me in the back, and it actually sounds like it's coming from behind me, so I can associate the sound with a position in the game. However, this could be an illusion and maybe it only supports 5.1 or simulated surround sound through the SPDIF. Assuming you're going to route the sound card to an A/V receiver to then route it to the speakers, it may work but YMMV. Good luck! **Q: Does is support "what-you-hear"?** A: I have the Sound Blaster Audigy Fx SB1570 and the same question. When I saw the response about "What-U-hear" technology I had enough info to learn more from Creative support. The online info was that versions 4 and 5 of the Audigy FX will support that technology. I have no idea which "version" I have and the info I haven't confirmed what card I'd need to buy. If I get lucky(?) I'll share the info here. **Q: IS this card compatible with windows 10** A: Working fine for me, Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Last update 3/16/23. Used the proper Windows 10 32bit/64bit drivers from creative, no issues. All settings and control panel work as of 3/20/23. Been using the card for two days straight stress testing, 24/7 runtime. All good. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds great! *by N***N on April 15, 2026* I recently upgraded my system and the new board was missing the toslink optical output.

I bought it specifically for the MIDI synthesis functionality, which works as expected after awesfxload is used to load a soundfont.

This went on sale and just said "cant hurt to try" I am running this on windows 10(the most recent version at the time of this review) The good: Installation was fairly easy, even on the current cramped set up i had. The software was easy to set up and (at least for me) worked like a charm after a restart. Once i tested it, my speakers worked amazing. with my pci ports being so close i thought there would be electrical hums coming through from the power supply and graphics card; but its nice and shielded. The volume and sound quality was a HUGE improvement compared to the motherboard's onboard sound. I can run the speakers at a good volume without cranking the knob to 100. Even with volume increased; no hiss or hum. The sound quality is nice and clean. even with my older logitech speakers, it actually makes em sound like a premium set of speakers. Even headphones sound amazing through it. I have yet to test the Amp to see how well it works so i may edit this review in the future. And surround sound actually works the way it is supposed to; no "simulated" or poorly eq'd trickery. With video games it is ESPECIALLY noticeable how well it works. And thankfully the software allows some adjustments and even adjustments under window's settings. Now overall a great product but there is one issue. The creative sound labs software is VERY janky. its very outdated looking and navigates kinda poorly. While it works well and I havent had many issues with it crashing, freezing, etc; your mileage may vary. As well it seems to have just very weird issues when running games/apps with 5.1 surround sound support. there is an option for a bypass so this wont happen but even that can cause issues which requires restarting. but that is worst case scenario. All in all, this card is definitely worth it. Isnt too overpriced and works well. And surprisingly never had the issues of crashing or any issues of the card somehow not being recognized. Highly recommend if you need this so you dont have to buy and install a new motherboard and go through that whole song and dance. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, Dual 120mm PWM Fans, 1550RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1700/1150/1151/1200/1851,PC Cooler - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
