Good sound card for the money.......2007-12-11
You can't loose with this sound card if all you want to do is upgrade what you would find on a typical motherboard. Nothing fancy, just noticeably better and at a good price.

Easy to install and good sound.......2007-03-19
I ordered this card to put in my mother's computer. She needed a basic card for listening to online music and such - nothing fancy - and this fit the bill. Install was a snap and took perhaps 10 minutes. I encountered no problems with drivers on XP and she was back up and happily listening to music within 15 minutes. Perhaps not the card for a picky audiophile, but great as a no-frills, good quality card which delivers surprisingly good sound for such little money.
Good Basic Sound Card.......2007-02-13
I needed a new sound card for an older computer and didn't want to spend a lot of money. This card fit the bill perfectly. While Windows XP didn't install the card natively, once the drivers were loaded off of the enclosed installation disk, the system rebooted and there was sound.
Don't expect audiophile quadraphonic rock-your-world super-duper sound for $20. But good stereo sound - good enough to play your kids' crappy mp3's for hours and hours - you'll get plenty of that.
It Works........2007-01-12
I have experienced none of the problems stated by the reviewer George Heiser. This card works just fine on my computer.
Now, to why I rated the product 5 stars. I recently bought the Logitech X-530 5.1 system and needed a new sound card to replace my old on-board card. Sound Blaster cards and other big brand cards were very expensive, and I was on a budget. Then I find this card, a 5.1 standard 6-channel sound card for $19.99! I ordered it and it came in two days. I installed the card then followed the instructions and in about five minutes the card was working perfectly. The hardware the comes with the card is basic, but fine for my needs. I did experience one problem with the card, but I had it was because of a dead PCI slot (Opon moving it to another, the problem was fixed).
Put simply, this card works. If you are on a budget and need a new sound card, go for this card. I mean, it's nothing fancy but for $19.99 you can't go wrong.
No Sound Sound Card.......2007-01-10
This is my first Diamond Multimedia hardware purchase and definitely my last. What a piece of junk! It doesn't even rate one star. Following the instructions exactly....nothing worked as it was supposed to; nothing. Except well, oh yes, the system crashed. Not once but upon rebooting...it crashed again. They tell you to not use the Windows Hardware Installer...to and I quote from the instructions: "Click the CANCEL button on the found new hardware wizard." You are then to install their cd....but it does not work. It will load but not run and no amount of coaxing or tweaking will get it to run. So, upon trying the Windows Installer for new Hardware...everything went wrong with no loading of the program and dire warnings about system dangers. I had hopes of upgrading my ailing sound system which I disabled exactly as instructed...only to have NO SOUND with my old or new "soundcard" (it is in quotes because it will produce NO SOUND except frustration noises from me). And so being $20 poorer but a little wiser as to companies from whom to purchase products in the future all I'll say further is Pay your money for this useless hardware if you want...but be warned............

Good sound for the price.......2007-10-31
I'm not an audiophile so I'm not going to toss around a lot of technical jargon. I bought this because my new 5.1 surround speaker set required six separate inputs, front L&R, surround L&R center & subwoofer. This filled the bill and I am pleased with it's performance. It was easy to install and hook up and the software loaded the drivers without a hitch. If you are looking for premium sound you will likely want to spend more on a higher quality card anyway and probably won't even consider this one. If, however, you are looking for an inexpensive card to make DVDs that you watch on your computer come to life, this one should do everything that you want. The only reason that I didn't give it 5 stars is because I really have to be blown away by a product to rate that.
Great for the price!.......2006-08-05
This sound card was easy to install and sounds perfect on my computer. Good quility for only $14. The customer service was fast for the 1 time i needed it. No one should have a problem with this item.
an acceptable alternative to silence.......2006-03-07
I found this sound card to be an acceptable alternative to silence. It works just fine, its not a high end card and doesnt sound like one, but for the price you shouldnt be expecting top of the line sound. I put this in my kids homework computer and its more than is nessisary. Ive run it with both two and four speakers without trouble.
If youre looking for high quality sound look elsewhere, if your looking for a cheap card that works i'd say you found it.
headache.......2005-11-28
If you ever need customer service or support you should plan on a lot of hassles and a lot of wasted time. this company has very poor and very unorganized customer service.
