You have the options for 5.1 Speakers, Stereo, Direct, Headphones 7.1 and Direct HP.
Now I do not know how it would sound when you do the DSD to PCM conversion but that is the only option for now.Īt the bottom of the panel, the setup section, this is where you can config your speaker configuration. But for native DSD playback the card does not support it. What you can do, is use a program like foobar 2k or another media player and simply convert your DSD to PCM. The support simply may not be in the drivers, or because the way it used on the card. There is not dsd support even when you use one of the direct modes to by pass the dsp to use the dac directly. FL studio case it doesn’t, I hoping they add the option in a future driver. Its nothing major but minor really as some programs give you the option. With the AE-5’s asio the only thing I can change is the buffer settings. But with the jotunheim dac drivers, I was able to change the bit rate settings. This is only a minor issue that I have with the AE-5, I don’t know if it’s because of Asio 2.2, or how its is coded. I even don’t have under runs in FL studio in compared to the asio support of my Jotunheim dac. No issues with it glitching, failing to play or simply not work. With the AE-5 that problem is gone, asio works perfectly fine.
#Sound blaster software change language drivers
Now asio support, before I got the AE-5, I was trying to use my jotunheim dac’s drivers for asio, that didn’t work as planned, never worked correctly either it glitches or don’t work like it should. Sadly you can not change the brightness of the RGB lights which is a down side as that really should be a feature. Some may find that interesting and others not so much. The RGB Lights when in use are very bright which means they will lite up a dark room, If you have a case like mine the Air 540, you will realize the lighting cause your case exhaust holes and fan grills to be projected onto the wall. I haven’t taken the chance to use other rgb strips my self so I do not know what brands work or not work.
But they might be priced a little too much, but at around 30 dollars they give you 3 more. But creative does sell 3 more if you do not want to take the chance of using 3rd party strips. I do not know if any kind of 5V RGB stripes will work, as I haven’t tried. The molex sends power to the 4 pin connector on the top of the card where the RGB strip goes.Ĭreative was nice enough to include one with the card which can be daisy chained with more strips. The molex connector is not used to power the sound card it self, but the RGB lighting feature of the card. The first thing when you notice when you take the AE-5 out of it’s packaging, is the molex connector and the 4 pin plug on the top of the card. I don’t really see this as a downside but that's just me. If you expected to be able to swap op-amps, unless your manually remove op-amps and put your own dip-8 in there place, Then it wont be possible. Usually sound card makers use a single good op-amp on the front channel, while placing jrcs on the rest of the channels, I glad they decided to put it on all of the channels. If your curious about the op-amps that are being used on the AE-5, creative decided to use LME4562 for all of the channels on the card. Both the headphones and the speaker path ways are design using discrete components, which is a surprised to see them using discrete at all on the card. The card it self uses WIMA for caps with some king of voltage regulars on the card, I don’t know which ones they are using.
