I bought this card in desperation of the fact that nowadays it is impossible to get a reasonable external USB or internal six-channel sound card, as well as optical way can not be transmitted in most cases more than two channels. I wanted to replace a device integrated on the board, which is massively disturbed (especially by the graphics card) and e.g. working in CAD is a symphony of all kinds of noises, splashes, squeaks, whistles, buzzes, etc. This soundbar is distorted a little less (I would guess about 50% attenuation), so it is an improvement, but for the price I expected more. The RGB LED lighting in the device cover, which is probably also the reason why the card is priced at such a level, is not much appreciated in a closed opaque PC case, however, the strip with 10 LEDs, supplied as an accessory, can be used (I appreciate that it has magnets on it in addition to the classic adhesive strip). In the control software you can then set the colour and intensity of the light. The preset "patterns" are static, i.e. they don't react to sound. The "aurora" mode, which is supposed to be adaptive/reactive, probably only responds to (some) games, which I haven't tried.

After another SB 1500 Z sound card, I switched to this SB AE 5+ sound card for playing pc games and it works very well and is compatible with the Z906 Logitech speaker (I recommend) it plays at 122 db, so the neighbors always hit the ceiling with a broom to he calmed down. After a while the card started cracking and making strange noises and it was impossible to listen to it. Later I found out that only the first driver from Creative is stable, the next update will make it no longer functional, or the solution to the crackling can always be found either to quickly switch to headphones or to reduce the bits from 24 to 16. I can' t see, but it divided the quality of connecting analog or optical connections it doesn' t matter at all, only bass, stereo and surrond can be heard, but more detailed sounds, not anymore (Breaking glass, falling shards on the ground, silent footsteps from the speaker. etc.)
- Quality AE 5+ sound card for PC games
- Fits Logitech Z906 speaker
- RGB lighting
- Price
- Unstable latest drivers after update, the sound of the market crashes and makes a weird crackling sound.
- Only the first driver from creative is fine and do not update
- Complicated control and setup
- It must be connected to a molex cable, because of the RGB strip and backlight
- Digital audio is not possible on an optical cable, so it doesn't matter if it is connected analogue or optical

a complete difference compared to the sound box on the ROG Strix x570, I use Epos GSP600 headphones and the games suddenly have a completely different dimension. Rendered clear sound, no noise.
excellent sound
initial installation problems, card not detected, only in full PCIe

I wouldn' t believe that it makes such a difference compared to an ordinary onboard soundboard (although on a decent X570 board), I haven' t tried the speakers yet, but the headphones came to life in a rustic style, even at full stop, no distortion. nothing, just perfectly clear sound, hill setting options, great
unreal sound
nothing
