Much better then my previous Creative x-fi extreme pci-e. The sound is really clear and lots of option of bass management. Connected to my Sony QS Receiver with good floorstanding speakers. If you respect good audio and music then this card will do nice job. Ps. The backplates are not gold like on the images but it's not a big issue. Review: Great sound but I had a nightmare installing it. - First things first; the sound quality from this card is excellent. This was replacing an on-board Realtek card on a Dell XPS 8930 with Creative Gigaworks T40 speakers, running Windows 10. The improvement in sound quality was very noticeable; I use Peter's Equaliser for the APO Configuration Extension (PEACE) for playing music with Foobar. My old card used to "max out" the Peak Value Meter in PEACE very easily and would then distort and sound very poor. WIth this card the Peak never gets above 50 or 60% and the quality is excellent. I have it set at 24 bit, 192000Hz and it seems to be fine with that. I've used it in some games too with good results. I don't have surround sound speakers so haven't tested any of that performance. Now the bad. I had a NIGHTMARE trying to install this. The documentation you get with the card is almost nonexistent and you have to dig around online to find proper manuals and even when you do they are not that great. The telephone numbers for support on the Terratek websites I looked at don't work so you are sort of on your own. Fitting the card is easy enough, one empty PCIe slot and two case slots are required. The problem came when trying to get the card recognised and install the software. The software that came with the card just kept crashing during install. I found an FTP site from Terratek that had an updated driver on it, downloaded that. That ran but said there was no card connected, then it worked then it crashed. Then the card disappeared again for some reason, but I reinstalled, rebooted, ran the installation a second time and it seems to be fine. I'm not a geek level techie but this task isn't something that I would expect to have trouble with. I've paraphrased the experience somewhat, and nobody else seems to have had problems with installation, but it was very frustrating. The end result however is excellent. Later Edit: The day after writing this review I restarted my PC and the card was no longer installed. I tried to run the software again and it kept crashing my machine and forcing me into hard reboots to get back which eventually ended up going into System Restore and then ending up where I couldn't even boot up! I managed to restore from a recovery USB drive and do a factory reset and then tried to isntall the card again but the software still crashes (but at least it doesn't destroy my entire OS now!). I am in contact with Terratec support but if this doesn't get corrected I will have to return the card. I'm running Windows 10 Home 64 bit on a Dell XPS 8930. The Stop Code I get is "System Thread Exception Not Handled" in portcls.sys (which is one of the audio drivers and seems to be an indication of conflict with the onboard sound, which was disabled when I was trying to install the software). Any comments or ideas would be welcome. Final Update: As this card still would not install correctly on my machine I have had to return it to desertcart. I have a new, relatively high-spec PC running Windows 10 but the drivers/software for this card just would not work with it so I will have to find a different one. Terratek support tried to help out, but the rate of progress was quite slow as we had to email back and forth and I would only get a reply once every couple of days. ## Features - The sound card for pionate players, DJs and fans of cinema sound, standard and low profile 7.1 PCIe. - SPDIF optical and coaxial digital input and output, ogue 3.5 mm input and output. - TERRATEC Xear audio software centre, supports 7.1 surround sound, "extended full duplex" function for playback and simultaneous recording. - ASIO driver support that allows the transfer of high-quality audio files with low latency. - Resampling function, remixing made easy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009RGA18E | | Audio Output Mode | Surround | | Box Contents | AUREON 7.1 PCIe • Digital Extension • Two Low-Profile Slot Brackets • Two Standard Profile Slot Brackets • Ribbon Connection Cable • Quick Start Guide • Service Card | | Brand Name | TerraTec | | Compatible Devices | computer, game console, speaker, headphone, microphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (119) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04017273120010 | | Hardware Connectivity | PCI Express x1 | | Hardware Platform | Desktops | | Item Weight | 200 Grams | | Manufacturer | Terratec | | Manufacturer Part Number | 4017273120010 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Model Name | Aureon 7.1 PCI-E | | Model Number | 12001 | | Platform | Windows | | Product Warranty | Manufacturer Guarantee: 2 Year | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 100 dB | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 7 1 | ## Product Details - **Audio output mode:** Surround - **Brand:** TerraTec - **Compatible devices:** computer, game console, speaker, headphone, microphone - **Hardware interface:** PCI Express x1 - **Platform:** Windows ## Images ![TerraTec Carte Son Terratec Aureon 7.1 PCI-E - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612NaZQ6hbL.jpg) ![TerraTec Carte Son Terratec Aureon 7.1 PCI-E - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71chG4-LckL.jpg) ![TerraTec Carte Son Terratec Aureon 7.1 PCI-E - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ScBB27FoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How good is this for recording audio from a audio mixer and mic?** A: No way. Way too much latency. I returned mine for sound blaster z for this reason **Q: do you require 2 x pciex1 slots free to connect it, or just one..? I take it two case slots are required - either large/small as it has adaptors?** A: You need one free pciex1 port on your computer, but you need two free slots, however, the slots don't have to be next to each other. The cable that plugs the second set of connections (the digital) into the first is pretty long, you could plug the card into a port and then cable over another card to a free slot and use that for the second set of connection. **Q: Does it work on Windows 10** A: Yes it does, although I have not used the SPDIF/Optical ports yet. Terratec have updated Win 10 drivers on their site. **Q: does this support dts and dolby** A: I don't know as I don't use them. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear sound *by R***D on 14 January 2019* Absolutely fantastic soudcard.
