Poor sound quality
Low expectations key to avoiding disappointement.At least in an appartment building where the neighbors employ a variety of electronic devices the sound quality was poor, the songs sounded like they were coming from a dusty sratched up record spinning on a turntable.Changing channels (there are four) didn't help.Oh, and there were some minor problems too: couldn't get the remote to work, one cable was missing from the package while another came with a duplicate, only two batteries were included instead of four.Had to return the product.Maybe someone else with more patience and better luck will be able to get satisfactory performance out of this thing.

BEWARE of interference if you have 2.4 GHz phones!
I was looking for a way to transmit digital music from cable TV to my stereo in the family room about 40ft away.Running wires would be very difficult, so this product looked like the ideal solution.Set-up was fairly straightforward.The location of the transmitter/receiver is somewhat sensitive, but once everything is in place and the antennas adjusted for clear reception I kept getting clicks as if the music was coming off a dirty vinyl record. Totally unacceptable for listening. Good Value
A bit of experimentation with the placement of the transmit and receive devices yields a good signal and decent sound quality. Read more

Best Sound Card of Its Day
This was far and away the best sound card of its day.Don't let the date on Amazon's page fool you; this card was released in 2000.Unfortunately Philips has long since stopped producing sound cards and has not released updated drivers for some time, so this card is no longer fully compatible with DirectX.It's tragic that Philips didn't continue its sound card line; I can barely imagine what they would have developed.Only recently have the mainstream sound card manufacturers incorporated the features Philips had already developed six years ago, such as digital outputs and software that expands stereo signals into 5.1 surround sound.This card was truly ahead of its time, and at $80 was a steal.Unfortunately, its day seems to have passed.The good news is that there are finally some worthy successors available, so after six years of use, I can finally bid my Philips Acoustic Edge a fond farewell.I can only hope my new sound card will enjoy so long a life. ...

One Heck of a Deal
I bought this card to replace a Soundblaster 16 PCI.Having a VIA chipset in my computer, I was concerned about upgrading to any of Creative's cards, because of their infamous problems, so I picked this as a cost effective upgrade.Installation could not have been easier, and sound that it outputs is incredible, it is as good as any of the audigy cards that I have heard.If you are a major audiophile maybe this falls short for everyone else this is a first rate deal!!!!! ...

high quality stuff..
Sound is crisp and clear. As i watch movies ive seen before i notice little sounds i hadn't heard before. i bought this card with logitech z640 5.1 speakers. The speaker setting programs that come with the card work very well. There was one major problem i had with the card, though. I was replacing a motherboard sound card, so i had to disable motherboard sound in the BIOS and restore my computer for FULL functionality. If you dont restore, you cant use the mixers and windows sounds dont work. If your replacing another PCI sound card, this card will fit in easily. But if you have a mother board sound, you'll have spend a weekend backing up, restoring, and reinstalling programs.

I almost like it.
I almost like this card that's why only two stars.

Bougth together with SB 5200 5.1 speakers.Set up is easy. All plug inputs are colored.Couldn't be happier if consider the price I paid. I have rebates for both of them as rebates were available in June.Read more
