About this product

Product Information

Shape your PC listening experience with a Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card by Creative Labs. The SB0460 model is more than just a dedicated audio solution for your computer. This card is a sound processor that examines audio streams in real-time to refine and enhance them. Those capabilities make this product an excellent option for both gaming rigs and home theater computers alike.This SB0460 model uses Peripheral Component Interconnect or PCI to connect to and communicate with the motherboard in your computer. Note that this card requires a conventional PCI slot as opposed to PCI Express. If PCIe is all your system has, then it is still possible to connect the card using a PCI-to-PCI-Express adapter. The listening experience will be the same in either configuration. It’s also important to note that this board is suitable for low-profile slots with or without an adapter.Creative Labs shipped the Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card with drivers for Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit. This solution also supports older operating systems, such as Windows XP. In addition, Creative Labs has published a driver for newer Windows editions, including 8 and 10. In many cases, Windows will handle the driver update automatically when you install the card. You have the option of using a native driver as well.At the rear panel of the component, you’ll find a number of line-out jacks. Jack one supports headphones via a 3.5-mm plug. It also accepts inputs from left and right front speakers or a home theater receiver. Jack two lets you add rear left and right speakers for 4.1, 5.1, and 6.1 setups. It will accept side right as well for a 7.1 setup. Jack three is used to add a front center speaker, a rear center speaker, and a subwoofer to 5.1, 6.1, and 7.1 speaker setups. Note that there is also an AD_Link connector. This connector is commonly called a joystick or game port. This option is useful for playing games with a legacy controller that does not feature USB.The X-Fi sound cards by Creative support three modes: entertainment mode, game mode, and an audio creation mode. This sound card is THX-certified and supports Creative MultiSpeaker Surround (CMSS). CMSS can shape the multi-channel sound to headphones or mix up mono or stereo for multi-speaker listening. Via the Creative software, this board features a flexible mixer control. You can use it to select and mix sources, adjust master volume, separate treble and bass, adjust the balance, and so forth. This board also fully supports Dolby Digital, DD Surround Ex, and DTS-ES.The X-Fi sound card is a true audiophile solution. It even features Xtreme Music, which is Creative Lab’s proprietary solution for sculpting music for headphones as well as speaker environments of 2.1 and up. This hardware not only influences sound that originates on your PC, but it also influences streams and the like from local networking sources as well as the internet. It enables you to take advantage of hardware acceleration and digital effects as well.

    SB0460 X-Fi - Great upgrade from built-in sound

    The Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi SB0460 PCI Sound Card is a great improvement over the built in sound chip in my Windows 8.1 Dell PC. I like the features in the Creative Audio Control Panel that installs along with the drivers (available for download from the Creative web site). I use the Entertainment Mode, but there are two other modes if needed, Game Mode and Audio Creation Mode. The SB0460 drivers also include an ASIO driver for improved Audio Recording. The X-Fi Crystalizer adds realism when listening to music through my headphones. Overall I am very pleased with this sound card.

    CREATIVE LABS SOUND BLASTER EXTREME X-FI SB0460 7.1 PCI SOUND CARD

    The Card does work, without any software it is useless. Prior to the purchase I made sure Software and Drivers were available. The Speaker System CANNOT be used, ONLY the headphones!! I have the Creative 7.1 Surround Sound Speaker System, and witout the ability to see the jacks Once I got it I found it is not compatible, A BAD PURCHASE

    Good sound quality but prone to hardware failure.

    This card was purchased to replace one which had failed. Prior experience with this model card was the main reason for the purchase since it was known that the sound quality was very good and that it would work in my PC. Though providing excellent sound quality, the hardware could be better. One of these cards failed and a capacitor replacement restored it to working order. Another failed hard and was not repairable. Both failures happened after a few years of use. In summary, great sound performance but the hardware is not as reliable as expected.

    Older Sound Card that works well with new operating system (Windows 10)

    I really like the creative labs Sound Blaster X-FI X-Treme Music sound card, ie: SB0460. It has many settings which enhance the sound, but most importantly it pairs up with the software Adobe Audition for recording. One additional plus is it has a function "What You Hear" which allows you to record what you hear. One additional note is I downloaded drivers from Creative Labs website for this card to use with Windows 10. They work fine, however I found that I had to save the drivers to a flash drive and disconnect from the internet before installing them. Once I did this everything worked fine.

    I bought two and maybe I should have bought 3.

    Been using these since they launched. At this price I bought two and am thinking I should have bought 3. Installed easily on my Xeon Windows HTPC and sounds much better than the onboard sound. It is also much more flexible or versatile. I'm using this mostly with Foobar 2000 in this HTPC and no problems at all. Movies sound better and pretty good NORMAL Analog Audio recording via "What You Hear". It can easily handle two or even 3 players playing at the same time ala Old School DJ mixing.
