User questions & answers

Question:	Does the equalizer have a 31Hz band with a +/- 24db boost/cut range
Answer:	Do you mean cassettes? I Googled "dassettes" and came up with nothing. This is a CD player, so it plays CD's (formal ones as well as ripped ones), and it has a USB port to play a music-loaded thumb drive. It also has a FM (no AM) radio.
Question:	Would there be any issues with using 2 of these? One for my headphones, and one for my desktop speakers
Answer:	nope. just the CD player
Question:	Does it make a popping sound if there's a USB power spike
Answer:	If you need a pair of speakers and also the TEAC ai-301da-bk integrated amplifier with bluetooth usb and DAC, since what you bought, the PD 301 is just a CD player and FM radio. I hope this helps
Question:	difference between play 2 and play
Answer:	It happens often

User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used to talk with a mic
Answer:	If you have a headset/mic with a single combo 3.5 mm male connector you should be able to use a headphone splitter, 3.5 mm female combo to dual male 3.5 mm headphone and mic connectors.
Question:	Do I need to have built-in sound card in my laptop to use this
Answer:	I believe that even if a laptop/PC did have a built-in sound card, this wouldn't use it since sound cards don't accept USB input. It would connect directly to the motherboard, eliminating the need for the sound card in the first place. I am not exactly sure about this information, but this is what makes sense to me.
Question:	Will this work with Windows
Answer:	I have tried with 3 different windows 10 machines and cannot get the microphone to work. Maybe I got a defective product but cannot tell because all my devices are windows 10. Running 2020 update for windows 10
Question:	I would like to use two of these in a PC at the same time to get two microphone inputs to create a Karaoke PC. Has anyone tried
Answer:	No it will not work, because you only can dedicate one USB connection as your default playback device. But you can do what you want with only one unit by using a microphone splitter to attach to the (RED) hole and connect the other end to the two microphones. You can use a splitter like " RLCAB095 - Stereo Audio Input Splitter". Google it.

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:	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.
