    CNET Review

    May 3, 2004

    The Good: Inexpensive; 5.1-channel output; 24-bit/96KHz output; supports Dolby Digital 5.1; supports EAX and Direct3D audio for gaming.

    The Bad: No EAX hardware acceleration; no DVD-Audio support; no front-mounted audio jacks; doesn't support the latest EAX enhancements.

    The Bottom Line: The Creative Sound Blaster Audigy LS offers enough features to please casual and midrange gamers and media enthusiasts at an extremely low price.
