Description
Bring surround sound to your desktop PC with this 4-channel PCI sound card. Built around an ESS 4-channel chipset with 32-bit PCI sound quality, it adds genuine home-theatre-style audio output to any PC with a free PCI slot, upgrading built-in or ageing onboard sound with dedicated hardware designed specifically for audio.
DirectSound3D compatibility and hardware acceleration mean positional, 3D-style audio effects in supported games and applications are processed by the card itself rather than your CPU, freeing up system resources while delivering a fuller soundstage. Wide operating system support — spanning DOS, Windows 95/98/2000/Me/NT through to Vista and Windows 7, as well as Linux — makes this card a versatile option for retro builds, legacy systems and general desktop use alike.
