        and intense, realistic sound in all your games. Headphone surround 
        sound is better too--so good, you'll swear you're listening to 
        multichannel speakers--and your games will sound richer as you hear 
        all of the crisp, clear highs and bone-crushing lows you've been 
        missing. It's Sound Blaster on steroids!

* Get the speed you need when every second counts
   Win big with a powerful audio processing engine that boosts real game 
   performance by up to 15% over motherboard audio and still gives you the 
   fullest audio effects possible! 
* Hear your enemies before they find you
   X-Fi CMSS-3D Headphone creates nine virtual speakers over stereo 
   headphones for positional audio that's so accurate you can actually 
   locate enemies by sound. Multichannel speakers are even better with 
   audio cues that let you hear exactly where they are--even between 
   speakers. 
* Immerse yourself in a new dimension of sound
   Bullets whiz past your head. Explosions shake the room. Take reality to 
   the next level with EAX ADVANCED HD sound effects in games. 
* Get lost in the details
   Revitalize your compressed game sounds with X-Fi Crystalizer and hear 
   crisp, sharp gunshots and deep, booming explosions for the most intense 
   gaming experience ever. 
* Restore the details and vibrance to your music and movies
   X-Fi Crystalizer repairs the damage that MP3 and WMA compression causes 
   and intelligently enhances high and low frequencies for cleaner music 
   playback and more realistic movie sound. 
* Expand your stereo music and movies into surround sound 
   X-Fi CMSS-3D matches the sound to your headphones or multichannel 
   speakers and positions specific audio elements--such as voice in the 
   center and ambient sounds in surrounding channels, so your music and 
   movies sound more alive. 
* Enjoy truly cinematic movie sound
   The Sound Blaster X-Fi sound card delivers THX certified surround sound 
   and includes Cyberlink PowerDVD software with DTS and Dolby Digital-EX 
   decoding via free download for an unbeatable DVD movie watching 
   experience. 
* Advanced audio and music creation features
   A dedicated audio creation mode supports near transparent conversion 
   between any resolutions, digital-matched recording, low-latency ASIO 
   support and more.
