User questions & answers

Question:	Does the optical out support 7.1 or do you have to use individual wires for each set of speakers
Answer:	For 4k, might want to get a 2070 super. But 1440 or less this will do the trick considering everything else in your system is grade A.
Question:	Does this have a front panel header
Answer:	of course. I use this with B360M bazooka
Question:	Will the software (Audigy Fx Control Panel) allow me to adjust right/left balance to compensate for my hearing loss

User questions & answers

Question:	So what's the difference with the sound blaster recon3d? i see the same "sound core3d" chip
Answer:	I have the game one headset and it sounds great. I wish the headphone ohm setting had a 50 ohm selection, but I can't go over half volume in Windows at the 32ohm setting so it pushes plenty of power. I had the sound blaster zx before this and this card sounds better.
Question:	What is that circular window, is it some sort of interference shield
Answer:	i don't know, do you listen to 24bit audio, like blu rays and youtube and high-res music from hdtracks, or 32bit audio? If 24bit, you might be best off then with the ZxR, on the other hand I'd say the AE-5 is a safer bet, because of the surely nicer headphone amp inside can be properly used with many more headphones..., but then again your using speakers and might have an external headphone amp.., Hard to say.
Question:	Does this sound card have Dolby Digital Live
Answer:	Outputting digital audio via S/PDIF means that its quality becomes dependent of the DAC built into your external amplifier or mixamp, rather than the output stages of the Sound Blasterx AE-5 as, optical signals are in PCM stereo format only. Also, the Sound BlasterX AE-5 does not have Dolby and DTS encoding for optical out.
Question:	Triple Question: Worth it for headphone user? Is card's mic detachable/able to be deactivated? Will it process mic audio from MoBo usb
Answer:	For me, the led on the card DOES NOT work without the molex. As I have no interest in attaching the LED strip or using molex, I don't know if it's by design or by fault.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone know how this would couple with the game one or game zero headsets
Answer:	in this b460 chipset you cannot overclock, I recommend you go for a Z490 board if you want to overclock that i5 10600k
Question:	This or the zxr? that is only $20 more but 5 year old tech. i use the logitech z906 speakers and no headphones
Answer:	You can use Two M.2s on this motherboard. The back on can only be a PCI-E. Although if you use a PCI-E M.2 it takes up the first sata plug. Found this out the hard way. Tried to install a SATA M.2 on the back and it was not recognized.
Question:	If I hook up an astro mixamp (with headphones) to the fiber-optic port, am I losing the benefits of this card? Or will it pass through the amp
Answer:	If you plan to use an i7 10700k I recommend that you go for the Z490 chipset as it comes prepared to overclock the b460 chipset is for processors that are not of the (K) series
Question:	Does the led on the card itself work without the molex connector? i'm not interested in attaching the led strip
Answer:	the b460 chipset only supports the tenth generation of intel, if you plan to use a ninth generation processor I recommend that you use the chipset (z390, b365 and b360)

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this sound card work with XP
Answer:	I was able to google this for you.It appears there are driver packages from Windows XP all the way to Windows 10.https://www.asus.com/us/Sound-Cards/Xonar_DG/HelpDesk_Download/
Question:	Does this come with a bracket for low profile cases
Answer:	For those interested in the Xonar AE 7.1 Channel PCIe Card, it's a full-size card, so does not come with a bracket for low profile cases.
Question:	will it work with windows 8.1 and is software included
Answer:	Yes it will run on Windows 8.1 just fine. Just go to Asus's web page and download the latest set of software and drivers for Windows 8 64 bit and your set. At times I have been forced to re-install the application software and drivers for some strange reason. I have been a Computer Tech since back in 1995 and still can't figure out why this happens? It's probably just a bug within Win 8.1's startup sequence. It's not a problem that bothers me so much that I would switch sound cards. This is by far the best gaming and overall decent sounding sound card for the money available.I paid $40 including shipping and have had to return the first card as defective. It was the second card has had zero internal noise issues that the first card was having issues with. It even sounds great when used in analog with a cheap headphone amp like the Schiit's mangi that costs $109 on Amazon including shipping. You get a truly great sound with a Signal To Noise Ratio that exceeds 100 DB. If gaming is your thing a good pair of headphones along with a dedicated high output headphone amp really makes a huge difference. Schiit's also sells a USB DAC called modi for $109 here on Amazon that would eliminate the need for a sound card all together.For audio this is great. But if you still are looking for a good amount of gaming sound effects this Asus card plugged into a Schiits Mangi headphone amp will give you all you can possibly need. I'm not a huge fan of gaming thru speakers. I prefer using good headphones that allow you to hear everything! The Sennhiser 598's rated at 50 OHMs will give you the detailed sound for gaming and exceptional sound for home audio as well.They cost around $220 but are the best sub $400 headphones I have ever heard in my life and I tested about 6 different pairs before deciding on them including the much more expensive Sennhiser 600's. I choose the 598's due tot he lower impedance and since they sounded so close to the 600's that it did not justify the extra cost!This is the best sound card for the money as well. Sound Blaster cards are over rated and have horrible driver support. They are living off of there name at this point and I'll never buy a Sound Blaster card again! This Asus card uses the latest O2 chipset and performs very near the same as the $200 high end Asus and others at that price range. It lacks the shielding that some of the more expensive cards have. However, if your careful where you place the card (As high up near the GPU video card as possible) you will minimize any internal noise from the hard drives in your system. I use a Cool Master full tower that really helps eliminate internal noise as well!
Question:	The optical jack is listed with inputs. This cannot be configured as an output to run to a receiver im assuming
Answer:	Yes, I have it run to a Yamaha 5.1 receiver and unlike the other user "ML", it does allow full surround from multi-channel sources. Unfortunately, EQ, channel levels, environment effects and more seem only available when using the "Speakers" output.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this device works with Mevo MIc input
Answer:	The 2 carat was big enough. I think if I had the 3 carat it would have looked very fake & cheap.
Question:	how many volts does it have to power my microphone
Answer:	The carat size for this ring looks absolutely real. Each is about 1 carat. The cut & sparkle are really true to a real diamond. I love this ring! I can wear it everyday. I also stack it with other band/ eternity rings.
Question:	Is the 3.5 mm connector trrs
Answer:	The measurements generally given for the carat weights of CZ, no matter what its made of, are given in "diamond equivalencies" only. In other words, if you take a diamond of precisely one carat in weight, and compare it with a CZ of precisely the same physical measurement in width across the top only, then it could be said that the CZ is a "one carat" stone as well. But, since carat measurements are of the actual weight of the stone, and CZ is denser material than carbon diamonds, if you put each one on a carat scale, the CZ would weigh more than the diamond, therefore having a higher carat measurement than the diamond. But, since nobody really cares about the weights of CZs, all they are really looking for is what looks like specific diamond sizes to the eye, not the scale. So, carat equivalencies are used to describe CZ's. Therefore, in order to accomplish several things, charts have been constructed to give specific ideal measurements to each specific size of diamonds, and these measurements are used to describe CZ's likewise, as "look alikes." For instance, if you measure across the widest part of the stone, looking down at the top, as if you were looking at it set in a 6 prong ring mounting, and the measurement is 6.5mm, then that is described as the diamond equivalency of 1.03ct. But to keep it simple, they round it off and call it a one carat stone. This is of course given that all the other measurements are ideal, not too short, making the stone flatter than the best cut, or too tall, taller than the best cut. (Either one of those would cause the appearance of the diamond to lose fire, sparkle, and vibrancy.) So - giving a little leeway here and there, we can assume the following measurements and carat equivalencies will be helpful in figuring out what stones appear to be which weights: ○ 4mm = .25ct ○ 5mm = .46ct ○ 5.25mm = .56 (somewhere in between those two gets you. 50ct) ○ 6mm = .84ct ○ 6.5mm = 1.03ct (1.00 average) ○ 7mm = 1.28ct ○ 7.25mm = 1.49ct ○ 7.5mm = 1.67ct ○ 8mm = 2.04ct ○ 8.5mm = 2.49ct ○ 9mm = 2.75ct ○ 9.25 = 3.05 ○ 9.5mm = 3.35ct ○ 10mm = 3.87ct Those should cover just about anything you should come across on here! If not, there's plenty more information available by Googling "mm to carat weight" and picking out one of many options. This chart, and several others covering other shapes of diamonds, came from a site done by a very knowledgeable gentleman who's been working in the jewelry business for a few decades! 😉 This particular set of measurements covers round brilliant cut diamonds *only* - not colored gems, or other shapes of diamonds. Colored gems are only professionally measured in mm width, length (and depth), not carat weights, since the style of their cuts can vary greatly, so the true size can as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on a TV usb port
Answer:	If you have Tower PC and not a small form one, with at least a 250W power supply, and operating system that supports this card, it will work. This card is overkill for what's needed for 3 screens in an office environment. Take a look at a Quadro K620 or K1200.
Question:	Will this work with an xbox
Answer:	I just put this in a new build with a i9-10900k, i set the settings in the latest s Adobe premier to use full hardware acceleration...i add multiple 4K videos to a timeline with effects...and it does not blip....heads up there is a driver alert from Adobe premiere...it hasn’t been resolved...but I haven’t had problems yet..
Question:	Does this work with headsets that have a mic or is it for audio out only
Answer:	Yep and it works great. I have it in my server using TrueNas core with the plex plug In
Question:	what if you can't hear anything through my headphones even though you plug it already but you only could hear the audio from the computer
Answer:	not too bad. You will definitely notice the fan going but not annoyingly loud.

User questions & answers

Question:	To all experts. would this fully use the sennheiser pc363d 7.1 surround? i'm looking to replace the usb dolby sound card that comes with it
Answer:	From the FAQ on Audioengine's site:Q: The D1 is connected to the optical output of my TV but I'm not getting any sound. What can I do?A: In your TV menu verify that "PCM STEREO" is selected and "DOLBY DIGITAL" is off.So it presumably only supports PCM over S/PDIF.
Question:	its work with android or ios
Answer:	Yes Zack. The analog RCA's are disconnected if headphones are plugged into the D1. I wish it was a bit more flexible but that's the way it is with this unit.
Question:	Is this also a DAC
Answer:	I disagree with KM. Haven't tried this AudioEngine DAC, but the NUforce Mac-specific DAC I own makes a noticeable difference, mostly in the clarity of the highs. It makes the Mac's built-in DAC sound shrill. On lower-end headphones it might not be detectable. And, of course, everyone's hearing is different. I can listen to Google Play streaming much longer on my Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones through an external DAC than without one.
Question:	Can this drive the Sennheiser HD
Answer:	Should work with any Android 5.1 device. I use an OTG Y cable - so that this doesn't draw on the phone for power.https://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Micro-Cable-Adapter-Tablets/dp/B00V81L9M8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
