ASHATA 5.1 PCIe Sound Card

The ASHATA eboxer-1yh56xfrb9p552 is a PCI Express x1 internal sound card that adds 5.1 multichannel audio to a desktop PC. It uses the CMI8738 audio chipset and supports Windows 7, Vista and XP in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The card fits a standard low-profile bracket for compact cases.

Low-profile bracket and driver CD included

A half-height bracket is supplied so the card installs in slim chassis without modification. The package also contains a driver CD for the supported operating systems. No additional cables or external modules are bundled with the product.

PCI Express x1 interface limits

The card occupies a single PCIe x1 slot and provides six 3.5 mm analogue jacks plus an S/PDIF output. Maximum sample rate is 48 KHz with a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 decibels. It does not support newer Windows releases or macOS and Linux environments.

Questions about this item

Will the CMI8738 chip need a driver update after a Windows 7 reinstall?

The card includes a driver CD for Windows 7, Vista and XP 32/64 bit; reinstall the driver from that disc or download the latest CMI8738 package after the OS reload.

What limits 5.1 surround playback during long gaming sessions?

The 48 KHz sample rate and 120 dB SNR define the audio ceiling; sustained use stays within those bounds.

Does the card add noticeable heat or noise inside the case all day?

The passive PCB draws power only from the PCI Express x1 slot, has no fan and adds negligible heat or acoustic noise.
