Summary: Great value
Review: I have been very happy with this card. Nothing fancy, but it's fine for my needs ... playing cd's, mp3's, and games.Installation was fast and easy. The CD that comes with the card includes the drivers, manuals, and programs such as a media player (not nearly as user-friendly as WinAmp of Windows Media Player) and a karaoke program (a cheesy little midi-based thing). Fortunately, you can deicide which of the software extras you want to install, so you won't be cluttering up your system with programs you'll never use.

Summary: you get what you pay for
Review: i saw this being sold for 20 bucks and i was a little skeptical cause of the low price. so i went home did a little research on it and decided to buy and try it out. initially i thought i thought i was pretty good. Installation was easy. I didn't have problems with replacing my previous sound card, and there were windows ME drivers on the cd provided. The sound kinda sounded choppy but the surround sound actually worked when i played CS. But I realized i couldn't get two sounds at once anymore. Before i could listen to winamp and play another wav file at the same time.. but it didn't work anymore. Muse also drained my cpu. if i tried loading up a program, while playing a mp3, the song would get choppy. i downloaded the most recent directx drives and i still had all the problems. Running a pentium 3 666 i didn't think i'd have the problems, but i was wrong. After removing the sound card and using my old one, i didn't have anymore problems. I figure if you have a super computer this would work fine. But for me, i returned it. Try it out though, it may work for your computer.

Summary: The Card is great, but what's up with Guillemot
Review: This card is great. For the price you can't be it. Granted it isn't a Dolby 5.1 card, but for everyday multimedia you cannot get a better card for the money. Supports 4 speakers and all the usual inputs, i.e. Mic & Gameport. But, there is one catch. Burn a copy of the cd before you do anything. Because God forbid you do something stupid like step on it. After calling tech support and hitting pretty much every voicemail box in Canda, realizing aparently the people a Guillemot don't enjoy clearing out their messages, and then trying email...etc.etc. Seriously, tech support even during business hours leads to full voicemail boxes. Emails don't get returned and they don't post the drivers for this card on the site. Its been the accepted (well not really, but) 4-6 weeks and I don't see a replacement CD anywhere. So make sure you know little tricks like driverguide.com because that is the only place you will find Maxi Muse drivers.
