Comments about Diamond Multimedia Diamond XtremeSound 7.1/24 bit Sound Card:

I have had two motherboards with Realtek
onboard sound, and I was unable to get
5.1 surround out of the S/PDIF no matter
what I did, I did a few times get sound
out, but it was garbled, but 2 channel
sound worked perfect, so I wanted to
upgrade the sound, this sound card
works well with DVDs, games and other
sources but it will not encode Dolby
Digital Live, only output Dolby
Digital, like from DVDs.

The sound quality is better than what
onboard sound was like, but its also
just a tad different in tones and range,
99% will never notice that

Pros:

(1) It will do surround out of the
S/PDIF, that's how I have mine set up,
but only if your playing a movie, game
or sound file that's outputting surround.

(2) Its Cheap.

(3) It sounds better than onboard sound.

(4) Easy setup, download the drivers
from the website.

(5) 7.1 virtual speaker shifter WORKS,
its kinda a fake surround, but its using
all my speakers on my 5.1 surround amp,
and sounds pretty good - it can make
some things sound like there is a
slight echo, but it can be adjusted
to your liking, or turned off

Cons:

(1) No Dolby Digital Live encoder, but
it will output Dolby Digital from DVDs
and such that have Dolby Digital on them

(2) Sound could be better, but its not
worth it to me to pay $100 or more for
a better sound card when it would be
such a small difference between them
