- I would stay away from it. I received one as a late Christmas gift, and
- discovered incredible amounts of hiss when playing 8-bit samples (as in
- Wolfenstein 3D.) I called Creative Labs, and they told me to send it in.
- After they had it for a week, I called them and they said it was a hardware
- design problem, a solution months away. So they're supposed to be sending it
- back to me so I can return it to the place of purchase for a refund.

- There are many other fine soundcards out there that actually work.
