Features
Xtreme Fidelity audio playback
X-Fi Crystalizer technology restores the detail and vibrance to your compressed music and movies. All
the highs and lows are intelligently enhanced so you’ll hear everything in crystal clarity.
Headphone surround that sounds like multichannel speakers
Slip on your headphones and X-Fi CMSS-3D technology moves the sound away from your ears
and into the space around you. You’ll feel like you’re sitting with your favorite band or in the best seat
in the movie theater. Games sound better too with positional audio that’s so accurate you can locate
enemies by sound.
Surround sound from stereo music and movies
Expand your stereo music and movies into surround sound with X-Fi CMSS-3D technology. Voices are centered in front of you. Ambient sound appears all around you... just like a live performance.
Listen on a pair of desktop speakers or a full 5.1 speaker system.
Realistic sound effects in games
Bullets whiz past your head. Explosions shake the room. Take your games to the next level with EAX®
ADVANCED HD™ sound effects. And if you’re using Windows Vista™, Creative ALchemy restores surround sound for the same great gaming experience.
Cinematic surround sound from DVD movies
Watch your DVDs in cinematic surround sound with PowerDVD software featuring DTS™ and Dolby
Digital® -EX decoding (free download with purchase). Plus send Dolby pass-thru audio directly
to your home theater receiver using the optical output.
