5.1 PCIe x1 sound card

The Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Fx adds 5.1 channel audio through a PCI Express x1 slot. It is built for PC owners who want clearer sound than standard onboard audio provides for movies, music and games.

Thermals noise and power

The card draws modest power from the PCIe bus and runs without a dedicated fan, so it adds no audible noise to the system. Typical thermal output is low enough that case airflow handles it without extra measures.

SNR 106dB and SBX Pro Studio

A signal-to-noise ratio of 106dB sets the clarity floor for playback and recording. The bundled SBX Pro Studio suite lets you shape surround effects, EQ and voice processing from a single control panel.
