This sound card is designed for desktop computers and provides enhanced audio capabilities beyond what standard onboard audio solutions offer. It utilizes the CMI8738 chip, which delivers a signal-to-noise ratio of 120dB, ensuring high-quality audio playback and recording. The card features a PCI interface, allowing for easy installation and plug-and-play compatibility with most desktop systems. It supports full-duplex playback and recording, meaning it can handle both input and output simultaneously without interference. The card also includes HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) 3D spatial positioning sound effects, which enhance the immersive experience for gaming and multimedia applications.


The sound card supports 4-channel surround sound output, making it ideal for users who want to enjoy a more immersive audio experience. It also includes DLS (Downloadable Sounds) sound library technology, which allows for the playback of high-quality MIDI music. Compatibility with A3D 1.0 and DS3D, as well as DirectSound 3D and EAX (Environmental Audio Extensions) sound effects, ensures that it works well with a wide range of audio software and games that require advanced 3D audio processing.


Additionally, the card supports 24-bit SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) input and output, allowing for high-resolution digital audio transmission. This feature is particularly useful for connecting to external audio devices such as home theater systems or digital audio players. The card also supports optical fiber input and output through a daughter card, providing flexibility in how users can integrate it into their existing audio setup.


The CMI8738 PCI Sound Card is suitable for users who want to upgrade their computer's audio capabilities for gaming, music production, or multimedia applications. Its support for full-duplex playback and recording, along with its advanced 3D audio features, makes it a versatile addition to any desktop system.
