Just a thought are they also going to support bluetooth connectivity in wide range / any brand? Was trying to connect on one of my bluetooth speaker doss soundbox touch but having problem it's going thru but all of the sudden it's being disconnected, it was working fine on my other computer and cellphone. Not a big issue for me, I'm just curious what happened b/c my other bt speaker is working well.

Buying Creative crap is basically throwing your money down the toilet.

The G6 basically acts like an external DAC in Linux, and hardware wise it is decent (overpriced of course). You lose all the software from Creative, which in my opinion is half of what you pay for. I seem to remember the G6 has onboard memory for profiles, so if you have Windows laying around you can set it up there and enjoy the effects on your Linux box.

At least the old cards work with kxproject: https://github.com/kxproject
With the new ones, you're SoL.
As far as effects goes... effects are distortion. A sound card's job is to accurately reproduce sound. The rest is fringe territory (audiophile stones) and pro audio (professionals using DSP to create what they want).
Unfortunately, the latter group will find current Creative cards useless DSP-wise, as Creative doesn't document or provide access to the DSP.
Flaws aside, cards from a long time ago (emu10k1 etc) actually had a sdk proper and weren't useless. Sadly, Creative only got worse over time.Last edited by ayumu; 05 September 2020, 10:20 PM.
