BigThumper May 6,2: First - my specific application. I'm using a Yamaha YSP That narrows my choices down quite a bit. For the price, and based on the specs, looked like the THD was the deal. Packaging - not that I care - but it looks nice initially.

The part that I think is rather stupid is the included connectivity. Short in this case means 18".

If this card is intended for a HTPC located adjacent to a receiver then maybe it makes sense. As I'm installing the card in my gaming tower case, with my Yamaha mounted on the wall 8 feet away - those silly cables are useless.

Why Creative couldn't include a pair of these in the box makes no sense whatsoever. Ok - got it physically mounted - no issues. Playing games or movies sounds as they did before - which means great, but nothing more than great.

As for drivers - I continue to have issues with X-Fi mode switching. I can manually switch to Entertainment mode, and it usually works - but the thing is, while I can tell a difference in games when I'm not in gaming mode, I don't recognize anything significant for movies. Maybe if I used more of the X-Fi processing on my media I'd hear something different - but right now I don't.

So I've turned off the auto-switcher and leaving it in Game mode. Overall - I'm underwhelmed. I don't know if I'd hear anything different from a "pure" digital connection using one of the HDMI options - I'd have to have one to compare.

On the input side of things, Auzentech has two analog to digital converters ADCs to simply recording from two independent sources. There really isn't Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD 7.1 to cover when it comes to the digital output electronics of the Auzentech X-Fi HomeTheater HD sound card -- especially when compared to the significantly more complicated and component picky analog circuitry, haha.

At the end of the board are the internal connectors: I don't quite understand why Auzentech decided to make all the pins facing out rather than facing down, since this would make neat cabling just a bit more challenging for the end user.

This is especially an issue since it is near the outer edge of the sound card, which is less than optimal for the reason listed. Just cut off the photo above, but interesting to note, is the LED -- it now glows steady red during normal operation, which is excellent.

The X-Fi Prelude blinks continuously in the same situation, which gets quite annoying after a while for users with windowed cases. Due to otherwise limited space at the back panel, a breakout cable connects to the card through the pin D-Sub connector for a total of six 3.
