Answer:	Never found a solution to get mine to work. I've had it since Nov. 2012. It sounds like it should work with snd-virtuoso but I haven't found the way to get it loaded. Good luck with it. Running Solus from Solus-Project.

Answer:	Yes and it sounds awesome, it makes them sound the way they should.
Question:	The conector is pci-e X1 , X4 or X
Answer:	It is a X1, the X8 is the much larger connector for Video Cards X4 is when the X16 connection is with multiple cards X16 slows down and splits the lanes from the PCIE to X8 and depending on the motherboard to either another X8 or uses the other Video card at X4. X1, X3 and X16 are three different plugs you can tell them apart by the length of where they plug in.

User questions & answers

Question:	This does not work for me, for any emulator even when my computer detects it. Any suggestions
Answer:	No you can't. Its only for PS2.
Question:	Can this be used with the ps2 DDR mats
Answer:	si
Question:	Does it work with guitar hero
Answer:	The previous answers aren't wrong, just conflict because the game has become increasing more intense with developed expansions. "A Realm Reborn(ARR)" being a bit less intense than the current Stormblood expansion. Additionally, they've announced an end to DIrectX 9.0c support near the start of the upcoming ShadowBringers Expansion, point being the game is ever-evolving... Truthfully the GT 720 is about where the game was as 'minimum' low-res specs went on initial release of ARR, these days it's closer to a GTX 750; I also realize this is a 4+ yr old question, but since its ranked fairly high as 'frequently viewed questions' go I felt it warranted something better than a simple YES/NO answer. That said, given the ever changing status of the game, I would suggest to any current/future viewer two options (Heck... BOTH options) to help you decide if you need an upgrade to your system prior to trying the game: -----1) Google "Official FFXIV Benchmark" -- This should easily get you to the site where you can download a quick FFXIV focused benchmark of the game which will then give you a system score to let you know how well the game will likely perform on your current rig. -----2) Try the Free Trial!! -- Seeing is believing, install and try the limited Free Trial of the game!! Explore the starting areas to see first hand how well your system performs, granted the free trial is extremely limited, but the perfect tool to see if you'll need to upgrade or can live with what you've got. You may even run into another friendly player willing to give you a promotional "Buddy Invite" code you can use for additional perks should you decide to buy into the game. Bottom line, give it a try, costs you nothing but a little time. :) Have fun!!
Question:	Is this work with a ps1 controller
Answer:	As I have just found out after purchasing, it is only valid on NA service accounts. Although the description says all accounts it will not work for EU service accounts.

• Built-in Wi-Fi Access For Easy Connection To Internet
• Features A Processing Chip From IBM And Graphics Chip From ATI
• Wii Remote and Nunchuck included

User questions & answers

Question:	Can my kids play just dance
Answer:	You need the regular controller and nunchuks. I have used the balance board a few times, but you really don't need it. FYI this game might be a bit too hard for a 4-year-old. My kids are 6 and 9 and they enjoy it, but they get frustrated quickly because they want to "win" and some of the games are quite difficult, even for me. My kids don't have enough patience. A good intro to this is Wii Sports Resort. The games are shorter and more simple. I think it works as a great bridge between the 2 games.
Question:	Can this refurbished console be returned
Answer:	Sit, pretty much. Unless you plan on standing and jumping up and down for no apparent reason. Buttons control everything, except the turn function on some vehicles, and that's just tilting the remote from side to side.
Question:	does this come with all accessories like adaptor and sensory bar
Answer:	You can use the Wii remotes to play!
Question:	Does it hook up with hdmi cable
Answer:	No.

User questions & answers

Question:	So what's the difference with the sound blaster recon3d? i see the same "sound core3d" chip
Answer:	I have the game one headset and it sounds great. I wish the headphone ohm setting had a 50 ohm selection, but I can't go over half volume in Windows at the 32ohm setting so it pushes plenty of power. I had the sound blaster zx before this and this card sounds better.
Question:	What is that circular window, is it some sort of interference shield
Answer:	i don't know, do you listen to 24bit audio, like blu rays and youtube and high-res music from hdtracks, or 32bit audio? If 24bit, you might be best off then with the ZxR, on the other hand I'd say the AE-5 is a safer bet, because of the surely nicer headphone amp inside can be properly used with many more headphones..., but then again your using speakers and might have an external headphone amp.., Hard to say.
Question:	Does this sound card have Dolby Digital Live
Answer:	Outputting digital audio via S/PDIF means that its quality becomes dependent of the DAC built into your external amplifier or mixamp, rather than the output stages of the Sound Blasterx AE-5 as, optical signals are in PCM stereo format only. Also, the Sound BlasterX AE-5 does not have Dolby and DTS encoding for optical out.
Question:	Triple Question: Worth it for headphone user? Is card's mic detachable/able to be deactivated? Will it process mic audio from MoBo usb
Answer:	For me, the led on the card DOES NOT work without the molex. As I have no interest in attaching the LED strip or using molex, I don't know if it's by design or by fault.
