Customer Reviews of Creative Labs USB Sound Blaster Audigy2 External Sound Card Sound System (70SB030000000)
Good... except for recording If you're planning to use the NX for multitrack digital recording I would advise against it. Even with USB 2, recordings have a relatively high latency, meaning that if you try to record a new track while playing back an existing one, when you play them back together, they will start out in sync, but will end up with the new track lagging several seconds behind the original by the end. Consider purchasing the newer ZS instead. <

>For most other uses, the NX is a great upgrade to your computer's sound.
Good and easy alternatives to internal devices
I have bought this device a few days ago, because my computer's internal sound device keep fails. (I have Sony RS-630G desktop, and it has Soundmax sound device integrated in its motherboard. However, the device fails to play sounds after a while. Since it plays again once rebooted or drivers reinstalled, I guess it is the matter of device driver; but Sony hasn't upgrade the sound driver yet.) Anyway, it works great so far.

>1. The greatest advantage is that you don't have to open the computer. Simply plug the device into computer via USB cable, and install the drivers and software as needed. Since it's in very compact casing, it doesn't take up much spaces: slightly wider than the size of 2 cigarette boxes put toghther horizontally.

>2. Remote control is nice when you want to switch volumes or mute it while you're not in front of computer.
<

<
>3. Sound quality is satisfactory. However, for some reason I hear subtle noise in certain sound level. Probably it's because I am using standard 2 speakers which came with my computer. Acceptable.

<
>4. It happens while I watch movie file with voice. If I skip the movie while voice was playing, there is a sharp noise(zip!) and a (very) slight delay until it plays voices or sounds of the point I skipped to. Also acceptable.

<
>5. Some people down there complains about softwares. Since I haven't used bundled softwares except the operating driver yet, I can't really comment on that. (I don't think that I will somehow use bundled software.)

>6. Instruction manual is acceptable, but not detailed enough. I would have been happy if the company put more detailed instructions rather than same way-too-brief instruction in other languages.
Terrible Tech Support
I bought this to utilize optical out to my receiver in order to eliminate hiss and noise that comes from using an analog port inside the computer.

>TECH SUPPORT is useless! Works with my notebook, but does not work with a brand new Dell Dimension 4700 Tower; phone support would not help me because I have had this more than 2 months, and email support said that they do not "support 3rd party hardware"; that is pretty lame when the "hardware" is a brand new dell computer.

>The product does work for my purpose, and I don't have any problem with Bass output (as long as my computer volume is not on max and I use my receiver to control it); however I suspect that any other (cheaper) USB sound device with an optical out would do the exact same for me.

>The product is expensive for what you get. The remote that comes with it is also very lame!
