SB0460 X-Fi - Great upgrade from built-in sound

The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi SB0460 PCI Sound Card is a great improvement over the built in sound chip in my Windows 8.1 Dell PC. I like the features in the Creative Audio Control Panel that installs along with the drivers (available for download from the Creative web site). I use the Entertainment Mode, but there are two other modes if needed, Game Mode and Audio Creation Mode. The SB0460 drivers also include an ASIO driver for improved Audio Recording. The X-Fi Crystalizer adds realism when listening to music through my headphones. Overall I am very pleased with this sound card. Read full review

CREATIVE LABS SOUND BLASTER EXTREME X-FI SB0460 7.1 PCI SOUND CARD

The Card does work, without any software it is useless. Prior to the purchase I made sure Software and Drivers were available. The Speaker System CANNOT be used, ONLY the headphones!! I have the Creative 7.1 Surround Sound Speaker System, and witout the ability to see the jacks Once I got it I found it is not compatible, A BAD PURCHASERead full review

Good sound quality but prone to hardware failure.

This card was purchased to replace one which had failed. Prior experience with this model card was the main reason for the purchase since it was known that the sound quality was very good and that it would work in my PC.

Though providing excellent sound quality, the hardware could be better. One of these cards failed and a capacitor replacement restored it to working order. Another failed hard and was not repairable. Both failures happened after a few years of use.

In summary, great sound performance but the hardware is not as reliable as expected.

Older Sound Card that works well with new operating system (Windows 10)

I really like the creative labs Sound Blaster X-FI X-Treme Music sound card, ie: SB0460. It has many settings which enhance the sound, but most importantly it pairs up with the software Adobe Audition for recording. One additional plus is it has a function "What You Hear" which allows you to record what you hear. One additional note is I downloaded drivers from Creative Labs website for this card to use with Windows 10. They work fine, however I found that I had to save the drivers to a flash drive and disconnect from the internet before installing them. Once I did this everything worked fine.Read full review

I bought two and maybe I should have bought 3.

Been using these since they launched. At this price I bought two and am thinking I should have bought 3. Installed easily on my Xeon Windows HTPC and sounds much better than the onboard sound. It is also much more flexible or versatile.

I'm using this mostly with Foobar 2000 in this HTPC and no problems at all. Movies sound better and pretty good NORMAL Analog Audio recording via "What You Hear". It can easily handle two or even 3 players playing at the same time ala Old School DJ mixing.

DOA. Smell of Ozone filled the bag.

Smelled burned for sure. Not a problem for me, I was planning on replacing parts on it anyway. I needed a board with good traces and eyelets.

Better then onboard audio

This is the little card that could. Not that much of an investment and the output is fairly decent, not to mention you can make everything about 2x as loud vs onboard and control bass. Worth the price!Read full review
