Review: Great upgrade or replacement - The 3.5mm jacks on my motherboard's rear and front panel connectors died. I bought the G3 as an interim fix until I upgrade my computer later this year. I am quite impressed with the feature set of the G3, especially with what the Sound Blaster Command software. Sound quality is objectively better than my onboard sound card ever was. Over discord, my friends say my mic is much clearer than in the past two years. The G3 also allows different sound outputs on the same output. For example, you can set Discord sound on one channel and game/system sound on the other for the same output. If you like to stream and don't want Discord sound, you can use these separate channels in OBS/streaming software such that you turn off Discord sound. You could also turn down game sound if you want voice chat to come over more clear on your stream. This is probably one of the best features of the G3, second only to the mic clarity settings you get in Sound Blaster Command. I would highly recommend the G3 for anyone who needs an inexpensive, feature rich replacement to their onboard sound card. I can also see the G3 being great for people who use any laptop with USB-C ports (even though there is a USB A 3.0 adapter included), or people who just want better sound for their laptop.
Review: Solved my high-pitched background noise problem in Zoom recordings - This small, simple-to-use device solved for me what I thought had turned into an intractable problem. Each time I wanted to record a Zoom video on my Windows 10 machine; the audio in the recorded file manifested a high-pitched background noise. I searched the Internet, but none of the suggested tweaks to the Windows or Zoom settings worked. Then I stumbled upon a suggestion to try a predecessor to this product. So, I gave this newer model a try. And it worked---flawlessly. I'm quite happy with the result. I now have it connected to my computer even during live Zoom calls. I simply connect my headset to it, instead of directly to my computer's audio jack. You can control the microphone level on the device. For me this product has been effective and quite simple to use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the internal dac chip used is it Sabre or other?**
A: I'm sorry but i think creative is mistaken on what they did when they provided you an answer earlier. ;-) I read that the G5 uses a Cirrus Logic CS4398, and that the CS43131 is used in the G6.  Creative states that they use the CS4398 for the G5 this on the G5 product page at amazon.ca, and also at the product page at the Creative site if you look it up... ;-)
"Audiophile-grade Headphone Amplifier

The G5 is not just a 24-bit/192kHz, 120dB USB DAC. With a Texas Instruments TPA6120A2 headphone amplifier with a low output impedance of 2.2Ω, the G5 is capable of driving headphones of up to 600Ω impedance as well as sensitive in-ear monitors in the market today.

This pocket-sized external gaming sound card also supports high-resolution audio playback of up to 24-bit/192kHz, thanks to its Cirrus Logic CS4398 DAC, which has a Signal-to-Noise Ratio of 120dB." Cheers.

**Q: Is there a proper ps4 update for this product?? I read in the reviews below and there are issues.does anyone have a good setting for black ops4 ps4**
A: I’m still working on this. It’s pretty much trial and error with the eq. I did boost a lot on the mid range to hear footsteps more and put the surround on “narrow”. I think that’s key as you don’t want a wide sound stage. It will make enemies sound further that where the are. My best suggestion is to hook it up on PC but have the optical run from your PS4. From there I went into the software to manually tweet the eq in a solo match. I tried the scout mode and it was a little too much and it will lower some parts of the game that you need to hear. It depends on the headphones you are using as well and what frequencies it automatically boosts.

**Q: Will the g3 soundblaster card work with the arctis 7 using a 4 pole to 3 pole adapter?**
A: The headset jack of the Creative Sound Blaster G3 is already 4-pole, hence you will not need any adapter if the headset is already using a standard 4-pole connection.

**Q: Hi, can this improve my conference call audio quality?**
A: The Sound Blaster G3 is a highly versatile accessory that's perfect for work and play. It can improve your audio for your conference calls or while gaming.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works as Advertised but there are better options
*by I***. on April 2, 2020*

Overall I was very impressed by the quality of this product. The sound separation and staging is vast improvement over the Switch's internal audio, and it's optical in--tho meant for a headset--is useful in extending the value of this DAC to use on your home A/V equipment. The short USB lead is nice; tho I wish it were modular as these types of cables on portable devices often fail over time. In short, the Creative G3 is a great device that does everything it is advertised to do; and does it well. However, I have to recommend the FiiO BTR3 over this. It works great with the Switch and has bluetooth functionality for a number of other devices. There is one group however, that will want this over the FiiO, and that's anyone using the G3 for voice communications. While the FiiO has a mic built in for cell phones, I can't say it works with the Switch or PS4 as the G3 is designed to, and has no other interface for audio in for your preferred headset. If you are looking for a DAC/ADC for your gaming device that will allow you to hook up your preferred mic and headset, get this. But if you don't need the microphone support, and want a number of other features at the same price, get the FiiO BTR3.
