External USB DAC and amplifier

Creative Sound Blaster X4 is an external USB DAC and amplifier that delivers 24-bit 192 kHz audio for PC and Mac. It provides 7.1 discrete and virtual surround sound through Super X-Fi, Sound Blaster Surround Virtualization and Dolby Digital Live. The SmartComms Kit and CrystalVoice enhance communication with voice detection and two-way noise cancellation.

Gamers and remote workers needing surround

This suits gamers who want immersive 7.1 surround through headphones and remote workers who need automatic mic muting and background noise removal on Windows 10. It is not for users who require internal PCIe installation or built-in RGB lighting. Buyers needing more than one optical input should look elsewhere.

USB audio interface with optical I/O

The device connects via USB and adds optical-in, optical-out, line-in, mic-in and headset ports for multiple audio sources. Confirm that your system has a free USB port and that your audio gear uses optical or analog connections.
