PCI-E x1 5.1 audio card

This PCI Express x1 card adds 5.1 channel digital audio to a desktop using the CMI8738 chipset. It is intended for users whose motherboard lacks multichannel output or whose onboard audio has failed. Solid capacitors are fitted for stable power delivery. The low-profile bracket fits standard and small-form-factor cases.

Simple slot installation

Insert the card into any free PCI-E x1 slot and secure the bracket with a single screw; no external power cable is required. Drivers for the CMI8738 are included in most modern operating systems, so additional downloads are rarely needed. Buyers who need 7.1 channels, optical S/PDIF, or hardware DSP effects will not find those features on this card.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the CMI8738 chipset is delivering 5.1 channel audio after installing the card?

Check your operating system sound control panel to confirm the Vszerda card is selected as the default playback device and that 5.1 surround format is available. Play a multi-channel test file and listen for distinct sound from each of the six speaker positions.

What comes in the package with this PCI-E x1 sound card and what must I supply?

The card itself is included in the package. You will need to provide a free PCI Express x1 slot on your motherboard, speakers or headphones with suitable analogue plugs, and the appropriate driver software for your operating system.
