Creative Sound Blaster Z and Zx Sound Card Review

[Apoptosis]

For some time, we’ve shared our underwhelming experiences with sound cards and headsets with integrated audio processors that featured virtual surround sound. Positional audio is a desirable and much wanted feature gamers want, but obtaining a set of 5.1 or 7.1 speakers may be neither reasonably priced nor practical for some people. Unfortunately for headphone users, it is an unattainable challenge to recreate the sound of six or eight speakers on just two speakers. However, some implementations are better than others and we listened to the few audio recordings on the internet that gave us the opportunity to listen to those implementations we previously were not able to experience. One in particular, Creative X-Fi CMSS-3D featured on the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium sounded the best, providing the best virtual surround audio compared to its competition. We looked forward to a chance to get our hands on some hardware from Creative to thoroughly explore its capabilities.
