Hi i've been thinking of purchasing this card... can anyone using this card post thier experience with this...I mean the pro's and cons...what do they think...impression after using it for some time...how about the drivers...any issues ??? If theres any how's the support...Do they seem interested in fixing it ??

How does it perform in games...since from what I heard theres no hardware acceleration

what about the circle surround 2 ??
how does it compare with QMSS since I own a PAE currently..is it worth for the upgrade ??
does it work on all sources ??
will it be enabled through headphone mode ??

Why are there hardly any review of this card..since from what I've heard it's quite good.

Thanks in advance

Well PC GAmer )UK_ called this "A very good card for the money" and being honest with you this is the only review i have found, anywhere on this card.

hey, I just got this card yesterday. The audio is good but it's weird, if I play the card in 4.1 mode (my speaker setup, Logitech z-560's) the sound is really bad/distorted. However, when I play it in 5.1 and upmix it using the Trusurround, the audio quality is exponentially better. Overall, the card is very good but the drivers need some work. Much better than a creative card though, in terms of quality/support.
I'm having some weird erros in DVD playback though. Probably a driver problem which will hopefully be addressed soon.

Have you tried emailing M-Audio to see what kind of response you get regarding driver support? As M-Adudio make quality kit I'd expect that you should get a good level of support from them

Yeah, I tried emailing them... they helped me resolve an IRQ conflict but the distortion remains...
haven't recieved a response in the past 30 hours since previous email though
