PCIe 5.1 Channel Audio Card

This internal sound card adds 5.1 channel digital audio through a PCI Express slot using the CMI8738 chipset. It targets desktop owners who need multichannel output for speakers or a home-theatre receiver. The adapter fits standard low-profile brackets and requires no external power connection.

Replaces Onboard Audio

The card upgrades motherboards that only provide stereo or lack an optical S/PDIF link. The jump is worth it when you want discrete 5.1 surround for movies or gaming without a USB DAC. It is not for users who need more than six channels or high-resolution formats beyond the chipset's native capability.

Questions about this item

Does this sound card require an internal power cable from the PSU?

The card draws power directly from the PCI Express slot and does not need a separate connection to the power supply unit.

How is the CMI8738 card installed, and what step is often missed?

Insert the card into a free PCI Express slot, secure the bracket screw, then install the CMI8738 driver so the operating system recognises the 5.1 channel audio output.
