  It's worth every last euro! It was installed on a Mac Mini M4 with Edifier 1280 speakers (which I was ready to replace for better sound) and literally elevated the audio experience. Crystal clear sound without distortions. Night and day compared to the onboard sound card of the Mac. Compatible with macOS in its functions.

  I got them to put some KZ brand headphones because when I connected them to the PC they made noise like water, but since I put them in the card I have no issues and the sound is okay

  I don't know if the specific piece I received is defective, but after some time of use, the sound becomes distorted (pops/crackling or "crunchy noise"). I have tried it in different C ports, on a USB hub, and with a converter from type C to USB.
  When it works properly, it is a decent sound card.
  It was used for discord, gaming, movies, and videos.

  I had an issue with the integrated sound card of the motherboard, which had coil whine noise on both the audio and microphone. This one works perfectly.

  It was recognized straight away on Windows 11. I didn't download the Creative software because I'm not interested at the moment, so I can't judge it.

  I've had it for 4 months. At first, everything was fine.
  Because I have a laptop, my headphones (HyperX Cloud Alpha) didn't have enough volume from the laptop's output, so I wanted to go for something better.
  I don't know if this was the problem from the beginning, but after a while, it started making a ticking noise every second. In music, games, videos, anything. I looked for settings, etc., but I couldn't figure it out. I even bought a USB hub with external power in case the laptop was the issue, but it continued to make that noise.
  I don't think I would recommend it.

  Update 12/2024
  It seems that someone else has the same issue.
  I tried it on another computer (desktop) and it works perfectly. It might be a driver issue or there could be some noise from other drivers affecting the card. Right now, I'm trying to disable some drivers.
  UpdateV2 24/1/2025
  I've tried a lot, uninstalling drivers, I changed the power settings for PCI-e Link State Power Management to off. This seemed to delay the problem, but it still returns. Dolby Digital also quickly brings back the issue.
  I might need to format the Windows, but I'll do that later.

  I bought it because I had the HyperX Cloud Alpha and because they require a lot of power and the sound card on my motherboard was simply awful, I had low sound. After this, the sound is very powerful along with the Dolby that I have, the sound for my ears is incredible

  Well, after a lot of searching for wired over-ear headphones, I ended up with the HyperX Cloud II (they're amazing and they have the USB sound for better audio than the motherboard) due to availability (I wanted the HyperX Alpha but the price was over 120€ and it didn't have the USB sound like the Alpha S, which are comparable to the headphones). So, I bought the Cloud II, tried them at home, they're great, and as I was browsing on my PC again for headphones, haha, I saw the Alpha for 40€ without a microphone and a 3.5mm cable (I already had a cable). They were practically new... so I went back to the store and bought them again, tried them, everything was good (they're a bit clearer than the Alpha and more comfortable on my head, as always). You might be wondering what this has to do with the PlayStation 4... After trying out my headphones and reading comments, I felt like I needed something more in terms of volume and quality, so I started looking for a sound card... Now I was stuck because I don't have full knowledge about kHz and dB... and I thought, should I get something worse than what I have or take a risk... (for something cheap). I was torn between the G1, Play 3, and Play 4. I ended up buying the Play 4 and luckily (I don't have an opinion on the other two). Guys, the volume is almost half as loud and the quality (relatively, it's not easily determined, but it became clearer in my ears) and the bass is much stronger. I don't have any information about the Creative software, I didn't look into it again or read anything about it. Also, I should mention that it has a Type-C connection and comes with an adapter for a classic USB. As for using it with a Type-C connection on a Samsung Galaxy M52 5G, the quality is perfect, with the volume at 1:4. Bought it for 25€. That's all from me, I hope I helped.

  Excellent sound card/dac for its price. I connected it to a desktop computer with Windows 10, paired with an Arcam amplifier and B&W speakers, and with the accompanying software that I downloaded from the Creative website, the sound truly transformed. Compared to the Dragonfly Black that I was using, it's like day and night. I highly recommend it, and I believe it easily competes with much more expensive dac/cards.
