Sabrent SND-P8CH 8-Channel 7.1 High-Performance Surround Sound 3D PCI Sound Card Controller
I chose to upgrade my computer during the holidays and decided I needed a new sound card. Went online and being that I could only buy a PCI type card, the selection to choose from was fairly limited. I finally opted for this Sabrent card figuring that they’re probably all the same anyway and it was cheap to boot (I’m no audiophile as you can probably tell).
BAD move!
First, the manufacturer’s box that the card came in was the cheapest thinnest cardboard I have ever seen, something you might expect to see in a third world country but not here. Of course it was manufactured in a TWC.
Second, the card was the only thing inside the box; no accompanying manual or instruction booklet of any kind whatsoever. That is just plain lame.
Thirdly, I at least expected the card to work! But it only produced static sounds on top of muffled low level music. I know, so I just happened to get a bad card… it can happen to anyone. The point is everything about this product screams “cheap junk”.
I ended up having to go down to Best Buy and plunk down twice as much money for a brand name card (Creative Labs’ Sound Blaster) that had all the bells and whistles, plus superb sound quality.
I guess you get what you pay for (if you pay enough).

With the mixed reviews, I took a chance and bought this soundcard. When it arrived, it looked as if it was used. The teethmarks that enter the PC slot looked as if it was already put in a computer, scratches on the metal and looked rusty on the outerpart. Although it had some type of physical alterations, I decided to try and install. After 6 hours of this piece of junk not being recognized and having such a difficult time with the crappy software disc it came with, I gave up, packed it back in the box and sent it back.
I saw alot of others had good experiences and thats great for them, but for me this was not a pleasant experience , hence I rate this a zero out of 10 and do not recommend buying.

It was terrible.
I bought it as a used.
Therefore, no driver CD was attached, it was OK.
The problem was that even I downloaded the latest driver(released 2009), it did not work.
The driver is so weird. The driver which I got from Sabrent did not work completely for my machine.
The driver which I got from C-Media worked but limited.
However, the versions of the drivers were same both C-Media’s driver and Sabrent driver.
From the information of the box, the microchip of this soundcard should be CMI8768 but the driver recognized microchip as CMI8738 that totally different.
I check the microchip itself and microchip physically printed CMI8768.
Since the driver recognized my soundcard as CMI8738, I can not use 8 channel.
I can use only 4 channel.
I also tried older version of driver but it did not work(released 2005).
My computer’s OS is windows XP pro 64 bit, it is not common OS.
It probably my OS is unsupported OS.
So I do not know other operating system but BE CAREFUL.
