PCIe 5.1 Audio Adapter

This Vszerda PCIe sound card uses the CMI8738 chip to add 5.1 channel surround audio to a desktop computer. It provides 32-bit and 64-bit audio processing for recording and playback. A low profile bracket is included for installation in 2U chassis.

Suits legacy Windows builds; not for Windows 10

The adapter supports Windows 2000, XP, 7 and 8 with DirectSound, A3D, EAX and HRTF 3D tone. Buyers who need a sound card for a modern Windows installation should look at a different product. The card includes MIC, Line, Front, Rear and Bass ports.

No Windows 10 driver support

The manufacturer highlights state that Windows 10 is not supported. This single specification decides whether the card fits the target operating system. A CD is supplied for driver installation on supported platforms.
