Works ok but has a little bit of scratchy interference feedback on my headphones when scrolling with the mouse and when programs are loading. Possibly my motherboard as it is quite old now but never had it on the other soundcard.
Soundblaster Z at half price has given my audio a kick up the backside it needed for home music production. Easy installation and configuration and sounds fantastic with Beyer headphones.
Had some issues with the software drivers for this device because of comparabilities with the operating systems (windows 10) but managed to solve the problem. Working great now.
