Questions & Answers

I don't have a CD-ROM drive, so where can I get drivers for this card? Win10 does not recognize my cd-rom drive when I try to use the included disc. ?

I'm not sure if I agree or disagree - I was never able to get mine to work. I scraped the entire thing out in the end.

Is there a linux driver for this card, as well as support for ASLA?

Linux should be able to handle it without any problems. Check the support forums to see if the driver is available for your Linux distribution.

What are the card's (not the package's) dimensions?

I don't recall the exact dimensions of the card, but it was a PCI express card that fit perfectly in my tower. If you have a small tower, the additional bracket should allow you to mount it.

Is there a 3.0 digital output on this card? 5mm jack?

This card has three outputs. There's no raca on this card, so it's ready for a 5mm jack.

Selected User Reviews For Padarsey PCIe 7.1 Channel Sound Card CM8828 + CM9882A with SPDIF Bracket PCIe 7.1CH Analog&Digital Stereo Sound Card

It had the desired effect
5/5

The sound card was not automatically installed on my computer by the disc they sent. I had to open the files on the disc, choose the one that was compatible with my computer's operating system, and then tell it to install. I expected to just plug in the card and let the computer or disc handle the rest, but it works, and that's all that matters. Because my mother board's internal sound card was failing, I had no choice but to purchase this card. This card can be plugged into a slot on your mother board. Before you begin, unplug your computer and clean out all of the dust; I used my vacuum cleaner and an old toothbrush to do so. Also, make sure you choose the new sound card in your volume control; otherwise, you might be using the wrong sound card.

My on-the-go product isn't a one-size-fits-all solution
4/5

Windows 10 messed up the board, and Windows support was as useful as wet toilet paper on a dam brake, so I looked for a cheap card. br>br>This isn't something you can just plug in and go like it used to be, at least not for this card. Device manager will see it, but software will not install via the internet or the CD. Simply create a folder in which to save the Windows 10 files from the CD. Use start-setup to get started. br>br>So far, it's working well. You won't get studio-quality sound, but if you have a good set of speakers, it won't hurt.

After installing the proper drivers, everything is fine
5/5

It went in without a hitch, but my Windows 10 computer couldn't locate the sound card at first. I inserted the sound card's CD and discovered a folder for Windows 10 on it. Everything worked fine after I ran the setup file in that folder and restarted the computer.

Use that is questionable
3/5

Take note of the warnings on the cmedia site. br>Please take note of the following: br>For the CMI873x or CMI876x series, C- is used. The driver for Windows 10 is no longer supported by media. br>To obtain a customized Win10 driver for the CMI878x, CM88xx, or USB Audio series, please contact your product vendor. br>However, if your product did not come with a customized driver when you bought it, you can simply use the standard Win10 driver that came with it.
- In those cases, such as this audio card with no longer supported performance levels, a copy of the software setup will not recognize the audio card installed on the system. Basically, you need to download the seller details to install the software. I would expect that this should be the case regardless of.

Considering the low price, this is a good product; however, the product Disc caused me some confusion during installation
4/5

The installation disc that came with the package never got the job done completely. In the end, I had to duplicate the disc and burn it to a new CD. After that, the installation went off without a hitch and was completed completely. Finally, a word of warning: The disc presents itself (as not loading a normal setup routine) because it contains the driver files but in a different way than you might expect. You must manually search for the necessary Windows 10 files. It falls within the 8738-area code. Win 10. To complete the installation, you'll need to install eleven files. Also keep in mind that the manufacturer no longer provides driver support. Although the driver is from 2016, it still works with Windows 10 build 1904, or version 2004 as some refer to it, as of June 30, 2020. If you're thinking about buying this product, I hope this information is useful.

The software could be better, but it works well for the price
3/5

My only complaint is that the software is awkward and took a few minutes to set up properly (there are almost no explanations of what things are or how to set it up properly). If you don't have a disk drive, you'll have to go to some strange website listed in Amazon's description to get the drivers, which is a pain. You will need Winrar to open the rar file. ), for some reason the speakers are backwards, the software shows where the left and right speakers should be, but when playing sound they are reversed, i just swapped the cables on the back of my amp and it works fine, but it's strange. still recommend for anyone who doesn't want to spend $40- 60 on one, but be aware that you may need to fiddle with it a little. Plays and works in general 5. Chrome and Firefox aren't compatible with version 5. As an FYI, if you're testing it, use Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome. sigh. or test it out by downloading the thx videos and sounds. We are despised by the edge. '(Just a friendly tech offering advice to anyone who may not be aware of some of these details when looking for this. ) Best of luck to you!.

Regain your hearing ability! It was a simple installation that worked flawlessly after a reboot
5/5

br>I installed this in an older computer on my workbench that had lost its onboard sound. br>I turned off the onboard sound in the BIOS and installed this card along with the necessary drivers for my operating system. br>After installing drivers, don't forget to reboot! This is a must, and you must select the correct drivers for your operating system. 64-bit or 32-bit processors br>At my workbench, I use this computer primarily for testing, research, and music while making, building, and repairing electronic items. I also use the output to power the inputs of the amplifiers I'm working on. br>It works perfectly!br>Excellent sound! br>Excellent Value!.

Hello, I'm back with sound
4/5

Physically, it was simple to install, but the included disk is useless; it wouldn't load the drivers on my HP computer running Windows 10! The security system continued to alert me that the disc was corrupted! I visited the manufacturer's website, which is located at www. cmedia. com, searched for the model 8738, and downloaded it. It's a zip file that you open and extract before downloading and letting it run. Your computer will restart on its own. and there you go. The audio has been restored.
