Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: it does what it claims has decent quality light weight Weakness: Cmss doesn't work right cmss even makes klipsch speakers sound bad pops and clicks in certain games I bought the extigy to get 5 channel support and dolby digital for my laptop. Then I decided to buy a 4.1 system instead of a 5.1. The extigy has decent sound quality but on processor intensive programs. Even on a PIV system with 512 ram it pops and clicks. I guess this must be a draw back of using usb 1.1. Also the cmss is horrible at reproducing sound. It spreads the signal to four speakers but...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: Great concept. Weakness: Poor implementation and poor performance. One would be impressed to see a robust set of i/o ports and the idea of being a USB device is brilliant. However, I do not recommend this product to anyone. The volume control has no stops; meaning, the knob turns infinitely so you don't know when you've hit the min or the max volumes. That seems to be the only h/w flaw. The s/w is an absolute joke. 5 different s/w packages were included, and all...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: Looks nice Weakness: Shady company and under developed product. It's unfortunate that some companies feel it's o.k. to lie about the product they offer. This product has such poor sound quality you hard to even use. The fact that the makers boast about it's great performance makes me assume the company is nothing more then crooks. I also believe that they have posted here about their product which I think is a shady thing to do. I think they need to go back...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: An obvious idea. Come on, anyone who owns a laptop says "Boy I Wish I Could get Audigy quality" Weakness: Some people who buy it write stupid reviews! Ok, for the guy who was whining about the 24 bit gig.. loosen up, get a life, and let it go. This is a beautful instrument in Creative's height of technical achievement. I'm tired of people writing crappy reviews because they were mislead in what they were getting, or the fact that they are too stupid to set it up on their computer and get it running. If there are conflicts, come on people, learn...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: crisp 5.1 sound from a laptop .. who would have thought that was possible ? Great remote function, makes the laptop the Ideal Music Box in the hous from a far Weakness: too vragile, the remote center can be much better, should offer infrared port, This is the best 5.1 sound card anyone can buy at this price , the ideal option for a laptop, I connected it to the MegaWorks 5.1 THX 550 , it gave me the sounds that I needed to hear !, if you have a laptop .. this is the way to go !

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: bunch of ins/outs, digital inputs accept protected signal Weakness: NO 5.1 OPTICAL OUT, DON'T SUPPORT DTS!!! If you're really concerned to connect this to home-theater system digitally, DON'T BUY THIS! I received this product that I was misled this box has Dolby Digital decoding, but the word is so unclear, and never stated that the digital outs do not support 5.1 output, and then I was in overseas (I didn't have home-theater system there), and I trust the "light"...but once I returned to states, and hook it up to home-theater receiver with this unit, then the result is extremely...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: This can be a great substitute for a broken sound card equipped at my notebook. Weakness: Not working with my HP Pavilion N3270 Notebook This machine is not properly working with HP Pavilion N3270 (Window XP Installed, 256 RAM). First when I installed this driver, this damaged window booting system twice. I reinstalled Window XP twice. Narrowly when I installed the driver, it worked well with window media player and other sound player. But when I played Power DVD, this made the computer freezed. I tried several times but always...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound DeviceStrengths: rock solid usabilty,easy setup monster features and unmatched audio quality Weakness: none i can see it took about 8 minutes to setup....and it was worth the 8 and the 149 dollars i paid for it,if i had an award to give,.... it would get the kick a** award for sure..and i did not buy the extigy for any other purpose but my computer,,so any other uses do not matter to me or should not matter to anyone that want's to use it for the computer...all that being said ....icould not find a single flaw...

Creative Sound Blaster Extigy Sound Device
Strengths: clean
Weakness: not 24 bit as marketing claims. Creative is a very shady company for marketing this as such.
For the guy who said to not worry about 24 bit sound. Just because 24 bit sound doesn't matter to you doesn't mean others will be happy with 16bits. 24bit sound is needed for recording, plain and simple. If you record in 16 bits and then adjust your instruments for volume you will loose even more bits. Not only does 24 bit sound give you wiggle room but it sounds much better. There is no way to...
