There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Installed on Windows 11 and worked without any special driver or other software installed.
*That included Microsoft and Nvidia drivers...they all re-installed automatically after I restarted my PC.
ASUS has been promising Windows 11 drivers for going on a year now, and finally they came through.
But the card was always dodgy. About every other time I logged onto my PC the system would register no card. I checked to make sure the card was well seated in its slot, uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers, and disabled the onboard video and it worked for a while but now when I wake the computer from sleeping, the card is not registered. If I reboot, the card is re identified and seem to work.
ANOTHER EDIT: Now it just cuts out and doesn't deliver sound. If I reboot, it works. I have to do this several times a day.
ANOTHER EDIT: I finally gave up on it and got a Sound Blaster, and Migod, the sound is so much better. I didn't know what I was missing. Now I have a crappy card that I can't throw away and can't recycle. That's life in the future, I guess.
Overall, I call this junk. Don't waste your money. And that's my final word on it.

Be advised, the software included shows me only 2 channel output, but I can confirm 5.1 output on 5.1 encoded files.
Sound quality seems good. Only issue is its not 7.1
