Creative Labs SoundBlaster ZXR Review





We review the Creative Labs SoundBlaster ZXR. Creative Labs has been a powerhouse force in the world of PC audio ever since there was such a concept as PC audio. They developed loads of great audio tech for gamers and were considered the pinnacle of PC gaming audio devices for quite some time. Creative Labs basically had the market cornered for many years and some diehard fans felt that during this time their designs suffered a bit. They weren’t really pushing the envelope and trying to advance the market as much as a company would if they had steady competition. As the saying goes it is great to be king!

I thought it was because it turns on the headphone amp in headphone mode
and that it turns it off when in speaker mode.
there is an asus audio card that does the same thing.
Yes something something like that lol. I don't know if you have an AV receiver but if you plug a pair of headphones in and unplug it it makes a clicking sound like that, just a little louder. I have a set of Klipsch pro media 2.1 speakers, When I turn them on they make a poof sound. When I worked at Radioshack there were receivers that protected from the pop sound when something was powering up because it scares the hell out of people and if the volume is up it can blow the speakers.

I got a barely used Soundblaster Z for $30 a couple months ago. Damn fine sound card and essentially the same under the hood as the spendy ZX & ZXR variants.

Whoever told you that is full of ****. Dedicated sound cards have always been better.
