## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the led on the card itself work without the molex connector? i'm not interested in attaching the led strip.**
A: To not use the MOLEX connection is ONLY Use the PCI BUS for powering your plug-ins. BUY another Card if you will not use the MOLEX Power hookup. As It will give BETTER, more dependable power to your accessories.! At no RISK to your Motherboard.!

**Q: If I hook up an astro mixamp (with headphones) to the fiber-optic port, am I losing the benefits of this card? Or will it pass through the amp?**
A: yes and no. you will still benefit from the digital side of the audio processing but the optical bypasses any amplification. whatever you connect the optical to will have to handle that.

**Q: This or the zxr? that is only $20 more but 5 year old tech. i use the logitech z906 speakers and no headphones**
A: i don't know, do you listen to 24bit audio, like blu rays and youtube and high-res music from hdtracks, or 32bit audio?  If 24bit, you might be best off then with the ZxR, on the other hand I'd say the AE-5 is a safer bet, because of the surely nicer headphone amp inside can be properly used with many more headphones...,  but then again your using speakers and might have an external headphone amp..,  Hard to say.

**Q: Anyone know how this would couple with the game one or game zero headsets???**
A: I have the game one headset and it sounds great. I wish the headphone ohm setting had a 50 ohm selection, but I can't go over half volume in Windows at the 32ohm setting so it pushes plenty of power. I had the sound blaster zx before this and this card sounds better.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does what it is expected to do
*by V***J on 26 September 2022*

Was hesitant to invest money on a sound card, but I wanted to use my DTS system to the fullest. After long research decided to pickup AE-7 Pacakge was cool Build Quality with LED is awesome Configuration is easy, but need to spend time in understanding the terminologies Register self and product in the SBC app to save the configurations, if not you will have to configure every time you restart. Not using the external controller for now, but an usefull one for content creators Mounted on a MSI B560 MB this is working like a charm. Splits the channels beautifully. Slightly over priced , but a GOOD one for what we pay.
