Good Sound Card, but there w/o Vista Drivers.......2007-05-13

I enjoyed this sound card very much under Windows XP, but unfortunately am forced to wait to change over to Vista because there is no driver out for Vista yet.

Great audiophile gaming card by a trusted company.......2007-05-03

I've had a nightmare with soundcard purchases the last year. My setup is slightly unconventional but nothing so esoteric that it should be completely unsupported (ahem, why doesn't creative have digital SPDIF on their cards without using an ugly front case header?) I use spdif out to a digital receiver and a pair of axiom speakers. Before purchasing this card I used a VIA envy 24 soundcard, which was great for movies, ok for music(I never got ASIO to work with it nor kernal streaming and had to resample from foobar, couldn't bypass the windows mixer) and it was just completely awful for gaming. Up until now it was incredibly difficult to find a sound card which gave you the audiophile essentials and also had game support. With the Barracuda I don't have to mess around with kernal streaming, don't have to hack the soundcard bios or fool around with different drivers to try and get simple functions that should have been their all along. Everything is already taken care of in a seamless way and whatever even better is that my games don't crackle or have sounds drop out as with my old cards. I've used onboard to an x-fi to the envy 24 (once I began using a digital receiver) and finally the Razer Barracuda. I was never happy with any of these cards. Some would do some functions perfectly but totally lacked in other areas. The Barracuda combines the most important aspects to have great sound quality and has added functions that I wished I could have had just a year ago. DTS sounds just incredible if you have the equipment for it.

Today i swapped out my Creative X-Fi Fatality for the AC-1. I have no regrets...and in fact, im amazed. The AC-1 simply STOMPS the Fatality in every way, and its got a lighted logo on it. The card is just sexy- and it has ENDED Creative's dynasty in the audio card world. GO RAZER
