Review: Quick and Easy - There have been a few interesting reviews for this product here on desertcart. Some are evidently due to lack of experience with computers. I will just list a few things you might want to know. 1. The card was very easy to install and update. As stated in the instructions.. Install the card, then boot up. When it detects the card and wants to search for drivers.. hit cancel. Then when your desktop loads, insert the installation cd and install the software. This gets you the bonus material on the cd as well as the drivers. This includes an automated update system for driver and software updates. You can schedule it to check for (I recommend) once a month, but run it once when you first install. This automatically updates your drivers for you. Very easily done. No searching the net, no messing with anything. Just click the options you want. 2. Sound cards in general. Most computers packaged these days come with onboard (chipped directly to the motherboard) sound cards. This is a terrible idea. The onboard sound card a. is using your system resources and will could be causing conflicts or bottlenecks that lessen gaming and other intensive cpu usage and b. not a real sound card and therefore generally a real pain (usually impossible) to upgrade the drivers on. I am a gamer from ancient history of computer gaming and can tell you this.. sound card drivers not being updated are the cause of just as many, if not more problems crashing other programs than anything else on your computer save the video drivers. Finally.. as for the sound. The digital 7.1 is awesome. I really notice a difference and have enjoyed the performance of this card very much. Review: It'll Do - I purchased the Creative Sound blaster Audigy about 4 weeks ago. The day I receieved it in the mail I installed it. Here are my findings; 1) I received it very quickly in the mail with no dents and in great condition. 2) I installed it (PS- I have my CompTIA A+ Hardware Installers Certification) with a great deal of ease and no issues whatsoever. Most anyone who has any knowledge of the inner workings of a PC can install this card. 3) I am pleased with desertcart's service and the product as a whole. It recreates very accurate and clean sound on my 5.1 surround system. And it does not tax the system resources in order to do what it is made to do. (Less than 2% CPU usage at best) 4) As a side note, Creative labs products usually require some sort of software upgrade after you purchase them so if you have an internet connection, go to the MFG's homepage and download the latest version of soundcard drivers. I noticed certain sounds in my gaming worked better after the latest drivers were downloaded. My Summary 5/5 on this product. Buy it if you are in need of a simple, high quality sound card. I would recommend it for gamers and music enthusiasts alike. I would not recommend it for MIDI inputs and extremely high end audio workstations as there are most likely better soundcards designed for that purpose. ## Features - Creative Labs 70sb057000000 SB Audigy SE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000EF3D64 | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo, Surround Sound | | Best Sellers Rank | #74 in Computer Internal Sound Cards | | Brand | Creative | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (138) | | Hardware Connectivity | PCI | | Hardware Platform | Personal Computer | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Creative | | Maximum Sample Rate | 96 KHz | | Mfr Part Number | 70SB057000000 | | Model Name | audigy se | | Model Number | 70SB057000000 | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 100 dB | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 5 1 | | UPC | 054651095090 | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo, Surround Sound - **Brand:** Creative - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Hardware Interface:** PCI - **Platform:** Not Machine Specific ## Images ![Labs SB0570 PCI Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91PkJxF23eL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does this card cone with software or do i have to download it and if so where can i download it** A: You can download the software from Creative's website in their Support area.

In my experience, installing this product in a friend's computer caused nothing but headaches. The largest of which was complete dial-up connection and sound failure when used at the same time. According to numerous Google searches none of these problems have any remedy, it doesn't even seem entirely clear what causes it. For my money, I would seek out a Soundblaster if I were on a budget or upgrade to X-Fi because the risk of failure with this product is too great. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1860428-labs-sb0570-pci-sound-blaster-audigy-se-sound-card](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1860428-labs-sb0570-pci-sound-blaster-audigy-se-sound-card) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
