Digit-Life has posted a review on the Hercules Game Theater XP sound card.



The PCI sound card surprises me with its small dimensions and an absence of a heap of connectors. There are only a 44-pin connector for the cable and a line-in mini jack. It is quite rational that internal connectors CD Audio and TAD are taken away since they are rarely used.

By the way, a couple of years ago an absence of an internal connector ´CD Digital in´ might be considered as a disadvantage of the card, but today a great bulk of CD/DVD ROM drives can read CD-DA discs via IDE bus. And the software support is provided by the WMP of the 7th version, WinAmp via its plug-in CD Reader. In the W2K such support is organized on the OS level. This connector can be useful only for connecting with another sound card, but gamers and theater lovers will hardly be interested in it.
