SEDNA - SE-PCIE-SC-10 High Quality PCIe 7.1 Channel Sound card ( CM8828 + CM9882A ) with SPDIF Bracket

A hard-to-find quality product. Most products of this type seem to cater for gamers not for audiophiles. Great quality!

マザーの光出力が故障していたのとオーディオがざらつく（音質がよくない）ので、いいのがないかとさがしたところ結構品がよさそうだったので注文し、到着後すぐに開いているPCe(Black)に装着したが隣のRAIDカードと干渉するらしくデバイスの認識が不安定でブートすら妨害。結局いろいろ試してほかのスロットにさしてデバイス認識するようになったが出力デバイスがないというエラーがでてオーディオやはたまたエクスプローラとか基幹サービスがスタック。再起動で起動しなくなるなど散々で、一時は突っ返そうとしたが、最終的に見つけた原因は、W10が自動でいれるドライバ（一見正常に動作とでるが入出力がつながらない）ではなく付属ディスクのドライバをインストールする必要があるが同時にインストールされるXear Sound Service が暴走しスタックさせることがわかり、インストール後にウインドウズTaskManagerを立ち上げスタートアップサービスでXear audio centerを無効にした結果、きわめてご機嫌に安定に動くようになり192ｋH24bitoの音質と他の48KHzデバイスなどとの共存にも問題なく、私はサラウンドをしないのでオンボードのオーディオやRealteckなどすべて削除して、このc-media deviceだけで十分に使えます。

Installation ok, Drivers à jour qui datent quand même de 2012!!! Pourtant une fois sur deux la carte n'est pas détectée. Et lorsqu'elle est détectée, aucun son ne sort. Très décevant!

Do not use this card if you plan to use a USB or Bluetooth digital headset for direct passthrough. My feelings are mixed on this card. It does do exactly what it says it does. I think my expectations were a bit too high, however I did get it setup the way I wanted in the end. There are a couple things to note from a technical standpoint. This device only seems to allow direct audio pass-through from the input jacks to its own output jacks only. This means if, like me, you were planning to use your USB gaming headset to listen to this card, it will not work directly. That being said, there are multiple ways to facilitate this. You can go into the properties on the device in windows, click on the listen tab, and then check the listen to this device tab and then point it to your headphones or speakers if you are not using any of the card's onboard connectors for audio output. Alternatively you can get a 3rd party program like Virtual Audio Cable, and dictate the channels that way as well. Second part of this is that S/PDIF inputs can use a very wide range of frequencies and bitrates. You will find if you are planning to use S/PDIF for direct pass-though like I was. You will be forced to use the 16bit 48000KHz frequency to prevent any audio slowdown or speed up. Any setting other than this one will require a 3rd party buffer to convert the audio into a listenable signal. However by doing this it will not allow direct passthrough, you will end up with a m/s delay due to the buffering. In Hindsight, this card is most intended for studio, and or audio development. Having a raw uncompressed format to work with is extremely useful, and keeps quality levels high when recording. However as a direct passthrough device, this might not be the best choice in the long run. Even with the frequency set to 16bit 48000KHz, on some digital audio input I still get some choppy and clippy sound. Though this might have something to do with the age of my computer. Future testing will be needed. I have no intention of returning the card however, for the price, it does mostly what I needed it to do, and It will be a god send for any audio development I need to perform in the future.

lo llevo usando mas de un mes y funciona bien. Tanto la salida spdif como las salidas anológicas

I bought this card mainly for the dual analog and optical spdif. I'm using this card on Windows 10 and so far it works great. I'm using the analog and digital spdif and they seem to work well. It does take up two slots but it's nice to have all those connections. The software installs well and it has it's own control panel. I'm not able to get 196 Mz as it only goes as high as 96. I have the latest drivers but that's all the card does unlike the advertisement says otherwise. I've used this card for 5 years before I had problems with the computer not seeing the card. I pulled it out of the slot and put it back in and it sees it again but then turned off again. I'm sure there is a burned out component on the sound board so I just bought another card while they are still available. The new card works fine.
