The Auzen X-FI™ Prelude 7.1 soundcard marks the first time Creative has permitted a third-party soundcard vendor to use the Creative X-FI™ chipset in its own soundcard design. The Auzen X-Fi Prelude 7.1 Soundcard fully supports EAX 5.0 and has expandability similar to that of the Auzen X-Meridian™ 7.1. Additional features such as Dolby® Digital Live, DTS® Interactive, and DTS NeoPC™ are available via driver updates. Now with Dolby® Digital Live so you can enjoy audio from your PC or game console through your home theater. A real-time encoding technology, Dolby Digital Live converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for transport and playback through your home theater system.

X-Fi™ reborn for extreme gamers and extreme audiophiles, with better circuit design and better sound. From the award-winning audio card developers from Xitel!
