Solid little DAC to upgrade onboard audio on PC.
Worked great for my use case and much better than onboard Audio on my X670E Tomahawk. I am pairing it with Corsair HS50 Pro stereo headset and for that it works perfect. I did have to download APO + Peace GUI and tune it to my liking as the default sound has high treble and limited bass which was causing my ears to hurt. After tuning I can hear footsteps in games better, there is bass (as best as can be) and overall sound clarity is quite high. For such a cheap price I can't complain too much. Box was bent a bit but item was new and works fine. Update: the Treble harshness was too much for me and I am returning this. I got Play! 4 which is leagues better than this. If you are in the market for a dac just get Play! 4 instead of this.

For the price it's great. I used this after I stopped using FXSound EQ Software as it continues to test as Malware. I was using that software with a higher end DAC. So I no longer had an EQ software. I saw that this came with EQ Software (Must download SBP3_PCDRV_L12_1_01_08.exe from the Creative downloads website). After getting to know the software and getting it tweaked for audio with the Play! 3 I was able to get the sound pretty good (You can use SBX sound or Equalizer..Your choice). I thought it was such a good deal I purchased another for another laptop. The software is from 2017 but works great under the latest version of Windows 11 25H2.

Avevo bisogno di uno splitter per separare gli ingressi di cuffia e microfono del mio notebook, recensioni e prezzi dei cavetti di separazione non mi hanno convinto e ho preferito acquistare una scheda audio esterna. Dopo averla provata con il driver installato da Windows 11, ho scaricato il driver proprietario e funziona benissimo. Ha un livello di uscita adeguato a pilotare la mia cuffia che ha un'impedenza di 250 Ohm, mentre con la scheda audio interna il volume a volte era troppo basso. Avrei preferito le prese di cuffia e microfono un po' più distanti fra loro, ma non è un problema. Molto soddisfatto dell'acquisto, funziona molto bene e ha un prezzo poco più alto di un semplice cavetto. Pagata poco più di 16 euro.

I have a PC with a normal embedded 48KHz Sound Card, with no empty slot for a new one... I was desperate. But now, with this USB Sound Blaster Play! 3, I have the chance to get the quality I always wanted. It is crystal clear and powerful. One last Advice: although it can work immediately after plugging in with no need for a driver, I strongly encourage you to install its driver from the Creative website. It will give you an easy-to-use yet powerful control panel with useful controls to meet your customized needs.
