I had a hercules game theater, but it had trouble passing AC3 and did not pass DTS at all. I got this sound card and find it to be great. No more annoying pops, and it passes the DTS signal using PowerDVD

Don't Plan On Using This For Games
When I first put this card in I was impressed with the sound quality. If your buying this for music or just to plug it into your stereo, it does a good job. If you wish to install and play games go elsewhere. It likes to lock up on most games.

DONT BUY FOR MINIDISK RECORDING!
Hey, i bought this just for the optical out, and wanted to see if it would skip the tracks for me (since it is optical) on my minidisk dubbing deck. Well, i just put the thing on record and the music sounds great on my home theatre system...unbelieveable for bootlegged mp3s. But sadly, the optical out will not space out the tracks, so when recording to mini disk, it will make all the MP3s one large track. On the other hand...this is one good sounding card to plug up to a home audio system---i just cant stand computer speakers.
