Product identity
The Vszerda PCIe Sound Card adds 5.1 multichannel audio to a desktop PC through a PCI Express slot. It uses the CMI8738 chip and provides six 3.5 mm analogue jacks plus an S/PDIF-Out interface. A driver CD for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7, Vista and XP is included.
Who this suits
Builders restoring or maintaining legacy systems that run Windows 7, Vista or XP will find native driver support and six-channel surround output. Buyers who need guaranteed driver support for newer operating systems or who require digital HDMI or USB audio interfaces should look elsewhere.
Deciding specification
The card connects via a PCI Express slot and outputs 5.1 surround sound through five 3.5 mm ports plus S/PDIF-Out. Verify that the motherboard has a free PCI Express slot and that the target operating system is listed on the driver media before purchase.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 5.1 surround sound is active after installing the CMI8738 card?
Play a 5.1 test file and verify audio comes from the green front, blue rear, black bass and orange centre/subwoofer ports.
What comes in the box and what extra items are needed for installation?
The package includes the PCIe sound card and a driver CD; you only need a spare PCI Express slot and a Phillips screwdriver to open the case.
Which version of the card should I choose for a 64-bit Windows 7 system?
The supplied driver CD supports both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7, Vista and XP, so a single version covers all those systems.
