Universal PCI-E 5.1 Sound Card

The card installs in any standard PCIe x1 slot and presents six analogue 3.5 mm jacks for front, rear, centre and bass speakers plus line-in and microphone inputs. No external power connector is required.

96 kHz 24-bit output across six channels

The onboard DAC delivers 96 kHz 24-bit sampling for multi-speaker playback up to 5.1. It is not suited for users who need 7.1 analogue outputs or professional recording interfaces.
