Vszerda PCIe Sound Card CMI8738

This Vszerda PCIe sound card uses the CMI8738 chip to deliver 5.1 multichannel audio through six 3.5 mm ports. It targets desktop users who need dedicated surround output for home theatre, gaming or music on systems with an available PCI Express slot. The card includes a driver CD for installation on Windows 7, Vista and XP in both 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

Check your setup before ordering

Verify that your motherboard has a free PCI Express slot and that you run Windows 7, Vista or XP in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. The card connects via five colour-coded 3.5 mm jacks for microphone, line input, front, rear and bass output plus an S/PDIF interface. No external power connector is required beyond the slot itself.

Upgrade from onboard audio

This card replaces basic integrated audio that lacks discrete 5.1 analogue outputs or hardware DirectSound 3D and EAX support. The jump is worthwhile when you need dedicated surround ports for a multichannel speaker system or lower noise floor during power-on and power-off cycles. It does not suit builds requiring modern Windows drivers or digital-only connections.

Questions about this item

Does the box include everything needed to install the Vszerda CMI8738 5.1 card or must I buy cables separately?

The package contains the sound card and a driver CD; no extra cables or adapters are required for the five 3.5 mm jacks and the S/PDIF-Out interface.

The listing mentions 6-channel 5.1 output — which version or capacity should I choose for my setup?

There is only one version of this card: a single PCIe board with the CMI8738 chip delivering 5.1 multichannel audio through the coloured 3.5 mm ports.

What does the 5.1 figure mean when the card is running in a real Windows 7 or XP machine?

It provides six discrete analogue channels — front left/right, surround left/right, centre/subwoofer — plus an S/PDIF-Out for digital audio, all driven by the CMI8738 chip.
