Sounds Blaster X-Fi 3 SBX ProStudio audio

Sounds Blaster X-Fi 3  SBX ProStudio

Now the motherboard also comes with a Sounds Blaster Cinema solution. make no mistake though, the audio is arranged by a Realtek HD audio chip (RT ALC1150). On top of that you will install a software layer called Sounds Blaster SBX ProStudio which opens up some really sweet options.

This way MSI tries to provide a superior class-leading audio solution helped by the the Sound Blaster software X-Fi 3 suite.  After installation you'll get the following features though the Sound Blaster Control panel. I already mentioned that cone powered up a trace in the motherboard will light up, indicating a separated audio circuitry for audio. Well, that and bragging rights ;)

Gamers will be able get surround sound through their stereo headphones, enhanced gaming sound effects and Smart Volume control for long gaming sessions. Creative Labs Sound Blaster Cinema audio supports a number features designed to offer more enthusiast level audio, including SBX Bass (expanding the low frequency tones), SBX most popular Crystallizer (restores the “highs” and “lows” that are compromised with audio compression).

Win battles with Scout Mode, a proprietary technology that allows you to hear your enemies from further away, as you get a definitive advantage in combat.

One not on the software suite, they should make the actual size of the software smaller. These screenshots have been downsized by roughly 1.5x as otherwise they would not fit your screen. it's like an application for the visual impaired man.
