TURTLE BEACH 3425-01 Riviera 6-Channel PCI Sound Card Reviews
I was looking for a basic card that works under Linux and has better audio quality than my lousy on-board sound. This one fit the bill perfectly.
Windows XP installed as a Plug & Play item without a problem however as I had installed it in a SHARED PCI slot it had a resource conflict. By visiting the Turtle Beach website, I managed to download current audio utilities. Received this as an open box item, without documentation or installation CD. When I relocated it to a non-shared slot it worked fine.
Turtle Beach online support has always been very good, as well. I've used Turtle Beach sound cards for quite some time. Riviera provides all of the features I'm looking for in Digital Input/Output, as well as superb Legacy support (for older computer applications and games designed for DOS). Their quality is superb; preferable over comparible Sound Blaster cards.
This is simply not honest. The card was easy to install and so far seems to work with all applications tested. In the future I'll prefer to do business with a company that delivers what they promise. However, several software titles that are clearly promised on the outside of the box, including "Record Producer LE, Music Write LE, and SoundCheck" are not on the installation disc.
Buy a Sound Blaster Audigy. This card wouldn't work after hours of trying. The SB card took two minutes to install.
