I bought it specifically for the MIDI synthesis functionality, which works as expected after awesfxload is used to load a soundfont. This card supports having many different programs send audio to it without any software mixing. I'd say its only flaw is audio recording. Its default mic capture is 8-bit mono, which is of course useless, and so to get good quality microphone recording, you have to utilize its 3rd capture device, which only supports 16-channel recording, as it seems to have a pair of channels for every recording source in the card. On the one hand this is kind of fabulous because it means there's probably many more options for recording here than you would get with any other card, but the downside is that you're going to have to get ChatGPT to help you write a /etc/asound.conf that creates a virtual device that exposes only the 2 channels of that 16-channel device that you want, as no recording software is prepared to record 16 channels and throw out 14 of them. In spite of that, I don't think there's a better card than this one that you can get for Linux. Review: EMU10K1 chipset. It matters. Here's why. - If you buy a PC or a laptop these days, it almost certainly comes with a sound chipset that implements a standard called HD Audio. "HD, high definition, sounds good, right?" Well, no. All that really means is the chipset knows how to talk to a HDMI interface, like your TV. But HD Audio chipsets are actually terrible. Now, if you want to ADD a soundcard into a PC? You want the same thing, right? Well, no, you probably don't. Because why would you add in HD Audio to a PC that already has it? Creative's Audigy brand USED to mean high quality sound cards. But now, many Audigy models (like the Audigy Fx) are just cheap HD audio chipsets no better than what's already in your computer. The Audigy Rx is one of the exceptions. It is NOT a junk HD Audio chipset. It is built around an EMU10K1 digital sound processor, and it is capable of PHENOMENALLY good sound. You'll need good speakers, and possibly even an external amplifier, to let it really strut its stuff, but connect it to sound hardware capable of matching what it can put out and it will SHINE. If you're putting a sound card into a PC running Linux, this is the only one you will need. (You only need to enable one driver in the kernel, snd_emu10k1 along with its snd_emu10k1_synth module.) There's one "Gotcha!" to be aware of. This card has TWO sets of audio connections — a set of six 1/8" audio jacks, and an optical S/PDIF digital output. It DEFAULTS to using the S/PDIF, even if you have nothing connected to it. If you want to use the analog jacks, you will have to set the mixer control 'Audigy Analog/Digital Output Jack' to ON. ON is analog; OFF is digital. If it's set wrong you will have no sound out. Bottom line: A great price for a really good sound card that can do far more than other cards in its price range. ## Features - Advanced chipset is designed to process the legendary EAX reverb engine for powerful enhanced audio - Immerse yourself in full cinematic 7.1 multi-channel audio, perfect for games, movies and music - 106dB SNR ensures a high level of audio quality and supported operating systems is Windows 8, Windows XP SP2 or higher, Windows Vista SP1 or higher, Windows 7, Windows 10 - 600 ohm headphone amp provides studio grade monitoring - High quality 24-bit 192 kHz stereo direct playback ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00EO6X7PG | | Audio Output Mode | 7.1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #12 in Computer Internal Sound Cards | | Brand | Creative | | Built-In Media | Sound Blaster Audigy Rx | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (2,708) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00054651187245 | | Hardware Connectivity | PCI Express x1, PCIE x 1 | | Hardware Platform | Headphones, PC, Speakers | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.71"L x 4.72"W x 0.71"H | | Item Type Name | Creative 70SB155000001 Sound Blaster Audigy Rx | | Item Weight | 120 Grams | | Manufacturer | Creative | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Mfr Part Number | 70SB155000001 | | Model Name | 70SB155000001 | | Model Number | 70SB155000001 | | Platform | Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 106 dB | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 7.1 | | UPC | 054651187818 054651187245 | | Warranty Description | 1 year limited | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** 7.1 - **Brand:** Creative - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer - **Hardware Interface:** PCI Express x1, PCIE x 1 - **Platform:** Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP ## Images ![Audigy Rx - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W-OC07JoL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this have a front panel header?** A: Yes, support Intel Front Panel header. No breakout box or drive bay though. **Q: Does the optical out support 7.1 or do you have to use individual wires for each set of speakers?** A: I am currently using this sound card to drive a 7.1 Gaming Headset with SPDIF connection. Windows doesn't let me "test" it in sound control panel, and it doesn't appear to recongize the SPDIF unless I go into properties and specifically test Dolby Digital output under the SPDIF out from this sound card. Playing a game like Skyrim or Battlefield 4 and ensuring the proper sound device and sound output options, I can hear things happening behind me, like a tank driving up or someone trying to stab me in the back, and it actually sounds like it's coming from behind me, so I can associate the sound with a position in the game. However, this could be an illusion and maybe it only supports 5.1 or simulated surround sound through the SPDIF. Assuming you're going to route the sound card to an A/V receiver to then route it to the speakers, it may work but YMMV. Good luck! **Q: Does is support "what-you-hear"?** A: I have the Sound Blaster Audigy Fx SB1570 and the same question. When I saw the response about "What-U-hear" technology I had enough info to learn more from Creative support. The online info was that versions 4 and 5 of the Audigy FX will support that technology. I have no idea which "version" I have and the info I haven't confirmed what card I'd need to buy. If I get lucky(?) I'll share the info here. **Q: IS this card compatible with windows 10** A: Working fine for me, Windows 10 Pro 22H2. Last update 3/16/23. Used the proper Windows 10 32bit/64bit drivers from creative, no issues. All settings and control panel work as of 3/20/23. Been using the card for two days straight stress testing, 24/7 runtime. All good. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the best sound card that you can get for Linux. *by A***U on December 24, 2025* This works in Linux without any special drivers.

This went on sale and just said "cant hurt to try" I am running this on windows 10(the most recent version at the time of this review) The good: Installation was fairly easy, even on the current cramped set up i had. The software was easy to set up and (at least for me) worked like a charm after a restart. Once i tested it, my speakers worked amazing. with my pci ports being so close i thought there would be electrical hums coming through from the power supply and graphics card; but its nice and shielded. The volume and sound quality was a HUGE improvement compared to the motherboard's onboard sound. I can run the speakers at a good volume without cranking the knob to 100. Even with volume increased; no hiss or hum. The sound quality is nice and clean. even with my older logitech speakers, it actually makes em sound like a premium set of speakers. Even headphones sound amazing through it. I have yet to test the Amp to see how well it works so i may edit this review in the future. And surround sound actually works the way it is supposed to; no "simulated" or poorly eq'd trickery. With video games it is ESPECIALLY noticeable how well it works. And thankfully the software allows some adjustments and even adjustments under window's settings. Now overall a great product but there is one issue. The creative sound labs software is VERY janky. its very outdated looking and navigates kinda poorly. While it works well and I havent had many issues with it crashing, freezing, etc; your mileage may vary. As well it seems to have just very weird issues when running games/apps with 5.1 surround sound support. there is an option for a bypass so this wont happen but even that can cause issues which requires restarting. but that is worst case scenario. All in all, this card is definitely worth it. Isnt too overpriced and works well. And surprisingly never had the issues of crashing or any issues of the card somehow not being recognized. Highly recommend if you need this so you dont have to buy and install a new motherboard and go through that whole song and dance. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative Sound Blaster Audigy PCIe RX 7.1 Sound Card with High Performance Headphone Amp - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, Dual 120mm PWM Fans, 1550RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1700/1150/1151/1200/1851,PC Cooler - Samsung 990 PRO SSD NVMe M.2 PCIe Gen4, M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq.
