Pristine Sound and a Slew of Features

by   nightwolf27 ,  May 19, 2005
Pros: Clear, bright sound. DVD decoding and a slew of other features.
Cons: Occasionally buggy drivers. Dongle might be a problem if you are rough.
The Bottom Line: Highly recommended: the sound quality and feature set blow away anything that comes stock in a laptop.
Review: For the three years that I've owned my Thinkpad, I was desperate to improve the horrible sound quality of my laptop's built in sound-card. When Creative finally released a PCMCIA sound card, I was sold before I read a single review. Thankfully, the card ...

Finally, a great laptop sound card!

by   thegsrguy ,  Jan 12, 2006
Pros: Inexpensive, amazing sound quality. 7.1 channel decoding. Portable. THX certified. Fantastic software bundle.
Cons: Drivers install AOL, yuck.
The Bottom Line: For under $100, you get THX-ceritified sound with full 7.1 decoding. Your laptop CAN produce great sound with the help of the Audigy 2 ZS Notebook!
Review: Most laptops have lousy built-in sound cards. For the longest time, I was stuck with only basic stereo from a headphone jack, my sound often ruined by static from a poor ground. Creative came to the rescue with an ingenious product, the Audigy 2 ZS ...
