Sound BlasterX G6 (Grey)

Works really well and actually does boost the sound for my desktop, it even boosts my mic as well ♡

At church, sometimes the volume levels can be very low and sometimes the volume is higher. This equipment works very well to maintain quality of recording even at very low volume levels, and without any extra noise. We record directly in 32-bit signed short int PCM stereo 48k, and then use software to adjust the gain automatically for compression or normalization before converting into mp3. We do not use many great features on this sound card, because we do not need those features, but we definitely need the low-noise 32-bit capability. Another impressive feature is how it minimizes problems with clipping. When clipping a sine wave, the recording still appears as a sine wave without distortion. The equipment automatically reduces the gain or volume temporally when clipping takes place. This minimizes problems with the audio when clipping takes place, but it is still best never to clip.

I got these to power my dt 990s and man the sound is so much better then the on board that my mobo has much cleaner and the amp is able to drive high ohm headphones pretty well i have the dt 990s that are 250 ohms

not bad but had random clicking and pops sounds in the background every so often... saw lots of reports of that online and no way to fix it other than to use the built in windows drivers.

Sounds amazing wanted a X7 glad I got this it works on my PS5 and PC perfect.

might buy a backup just because sound quality is soo good on my pc

Three hours I was setting it up this thing is awesome definitely worth the money that we Bit the software sucks

The front has a nice big volume dial that controls Windows' master volume when plugged in. However, one major feature (and the reason I bought it) is the spdif/toslink fiber output, which connects to my Yamaha receiver. I got the unit, updated software, checked for firmware updates, and hooked it up to the optical out using the supplied cable, only to find my speakers blaringly loud and nearly bottomed out my reference drivers. Long story short, the volume dial is purely decorative when the unit is plugged into the optical output, and so is any volume dial on your keyboard or the volume dial on Windows. They don't do anything at all. Useless. I tried on two laptops (Windows 10 and Windows 11) and got the same issue. I even tried reverting to old firmware thinking maybe a firmware update caused the problem, and still nothing. This is a design flaw, and no it doesn't have to be that way. For 4 years, I used my PC motherboard's built in optical output and that worked perfectly. Prior to that I used a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum and that also worked perfectly. Do a google search on "Sound BlasterX G6 volume not working with optical output" and you'll find this is a known issue that Creative has ignored, dating back at least two years now. If they haven't fixed it in 2 years, they won't be fixing it, so I returned it as defective for a refund. Reportedly, others that had this issue ended up buying the Sound Blaster X3 (superceded by the X4), which DOES work like it should, so I just bought that instead.

Perfect for use with the IE200 from Sennheiser

"Moderne Mainboards haben ausreichend guten Onboard Klang" und andere Märchen! Ich habe die Creative C7 interne Soundkarte bei einem Freund gehört und war begeistert. Aber für die habe ich keinen Platz mehr in meinem PC. Daher habe ich mir die G6 USB Soundkarte angesehen. Ist nicht mehr die jüngste Karte, sie hat noch Micro USB (autsch) aber der Klang ist einfach prima. Zusammen mit guten Lautsprechern oder Kabelkopfhörern an der G6 kommt richtig "knackiger" Sound aus dem PC. Der Klang ist sauber getrennt, einzelne Instrumente sind leichter zu hören und Bässe wummern nicht, Bässe knacken. Große Dynamik: Stil / Leise und eine plötzliche Explosion rockt das Zimmer. Wer kann sollte das mal vergleichen und nicht einfach meinem Text vertrauen. Ich überlege mir noch einen zweiten PC mit dieser Karte auszustatten. Beim Versand gabs ein bisserl nachzuhaken aber dafür kann die Karte nix, deshalb keinen Abzug.

Muito bom, dá para fazer muitas configurações de áudio(efeitos, equalizadores etc). Ainda não testei com o PS5, mas já o uso com pc está excelente. É bem maior do que eu imaginava, mas é leve. Esquenta um pouco, mas nada em nível alarmante. O modo Scout deixa muito nítido os passos em jogos de tiro, foi uma excelente compra e o único ruim é que para nós brasileiros, é um produto meio caro.

Absolutely brilliant

Très bon produit pour PC sur micro USB . Prendre un filage micro USB blindé et si vous avez un port High current usb sur la carte mère le prendre et ensuite paramétrer le logiciel ..
