Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What types of headphones can the AE-5 Plus support?
Answer: It supports studio-grade headphones up to 600Ω, including high-end planar-magnetic models. -
Question:
Can I customize the RGB lighting on the AE-5 Plus?
Answer: Yes, it features customizable RGB LEDs and an LED strip, with various patterns available via software. -
Question:
What audio technologies does the AE-5 Plus utilize?
Answer: It uses Dolby Digital and DTS technologies, along with Sound Blaster's Surround Virtualization for immersive sound. -
Question:
Will this soundcard work with Linux?
Answer: The card itself should work, but the driver and software are not optimized for Linux. It is recommended to invest in a different external AMP/DAC solution. -
Question:
Is it possible to split multiple outputs on this soundcard?
Answer: It would depend on the software you are using. The soundcard does allow for separate headphone and line out feeds, as well as independent optical output. -
Question:
Is the driver from Creative compatible with secure boot for this sound card?
Answer: Yes, the driver is compatible with SecureBoot. Users have reported using it with SecureBoot enabled without any issues. -
Question:
What's the difference between the plus and normal version of the sound card?
Answer: The Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus version has Dolby Digital Live (DDL) and DTS encoding capabilities, allowing for digital surround signal output through a single cable. It is useful for systems with compatible receiver/decoders. -
Question:
Will this soundcard work with a wireless headset?
Answer: If the wireless headset uses a dedicated transmitter that plugs into the soundcard, then yes. However, if it uses a Bluetooth connection to the computer, it will bypass the soundcard. -
Question:
Can this soundcard output discrete Atmos over the 3.5mm phono sockets?
Answer: No, Atmos is normally delivered over HDMI and does not require a soundcard. The soundcard does not support Atmos output over the 3.5mm phono sockets. -
Question:
Can I use this soundcard to play hi-res audio files from my PC to my HiFi and stream hi-res files from Tidal?
Answer: If you are connecting to an AV receiver with HDMI, it is recommended to use an HDMI cable instead of this soundcard. If you have a stereo system with an optical input, the soundcard can be used. However, if your system does not have an optical input, it may not be necessary to purchase this soundcard. -
Question:
Does this soundcard support digital and analog signals simultaneously?
Answer: It is not clear whether the soundcard supports simultaneous digital and analog signals. It is recommended to check the specifications or contact the manufacturer for more information. -
Question:
Can I use this soundcard with a soundbar that only uses an Optical cable?
Answer: The Sound Blaster AE-5 has an optical out, but it does not have real-time encoding like Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect. The Sound Blaster AE-5 Plus version does have real-time encoding and can be used with the soundbar. -
Question:
Has the latency problem been improved on this soundcard?
Answer: The soundcard has ASIO support and is superior to most other soundcards. However, latency issues are primarily caused by the Windows operating system, and Creative cannot fully address this problem.
