With the sub/center channel swapped so that the center channel is not producing sound, the sub does not sound correct, as if the crossover frequency was incorrect (sounds more like the center channel).īut anyways, sorry for being long winded, long story short, if you have this problem, just give the wattage to the center channel and the sub will pick up the slack when everything else is turned up. However, the sub does not stay silent, and once FL/FR/RL/RR channels are given some gain it also increases in volume, and sounds like its running through a crossover. It's either or, because with Diamond's provided software you can swap the center/sub channel. Overall Review: Seems to have a problem with my center/sub channel. I guess that's what headphones are for though. Much, Much louder than my old Sound Blaster Live! 5.1, which is not a problem, because it doesn't sound that bad, but it is almost *too* loud, to the point of not being able to get nice sound at low volumes without turning pretty much everything to very low settings.

Eventually, after navigating Diamond's HORRIBLY designed web site, I found the drivers I needed. and at least, in my case, caused some really strange problems to occur. Those saying it doesn't either don't have nice enough hardware or are being too picky about what a product at this price point should produce, quality wise.Ĭons: The drivers that ship with the card are from 2005. Pros: This card actually sounds pretty decent through analogue devices.
