Review: Excellent - Excellent Review: 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. ## Features - DRIVERLESS USB-C PLUG-AND-PLAY WITH USB AUDIO - Powered entirely via USB-C in a plug-and-play driverless format, the Sound Blaster G3 is a hassle-free instant audio upgrade for your gaming consoles (PS4 and Switch), and well as PC and Mac computers.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by H***A on 4 January 2021* Excellent ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***K on 20 March 2021* This small, simple-to-use device solved for me what I thought had turned into an intractable problem.

I've never used a DAC before so I can't say if this sounds better or worse than other comparable DAC's, but it still utterly crushes what any onboard audio is capable of. The gaming features are something you should only consider as an extra bonus. This is the first DAC I've ever used, so I'm not really familiar with how much better or worse this is in terms of sound quality relative to other DAC's. I've been using them with my four-year-old V-Moda Crossfade M-100's though, and it blows my mind that this entire time I wasn't even hearing them at their full potential. Regardless of how much better or worse this DAC is compared to others, it will IMMEDIATELY blow any onboard audio out of the water, guaranteed. Anyhow, since I can't give an authoritative opinion on the sound quality relative to other DAC's, I'm gonna recommend this DAC on its sheer versatility alone--on top of the mic in port meaning that your mic will also sound better, it has optical audio in (with an included TOSLINK to 3.5mm adapter and USB-C to full-size USB adapter), allowing you to use it with any console that has a TOSLINK port at the back--I was even able to use it with my PS3 this way. Its de facto use of USB-C means I can also use it with my laptop (which otherwise has terrible onboard audio and won't recognize my mic if I plug my headset into its headphone jack), my phone, and my Nintendo Switch (both docked and in handheld mode). The gaming features are pretty much an afterthought to me however--the footsteps enhancer seems to work, but it severely washes out anything other than said footsteps, which makes it irritating to use for extended periods. I have similar feelings towards the mixer dial; it works, but honestly I just wanted this for the boost in audio quality and not for the extra gamer-y stuff. If you're a super competitive gamer looking for an extra edge, this might help, but I honestly can't say that alone makes it worthwhile--unless you're also looking to improve your listening experience in general. In any case, if you're looking for a DAC, and have multiple devices in your household that you want to use it with--particularly any game consoles--this is easily the best choice by far. Its immense versatility alone has me sold. ## Frequently Bought Together - Creative Sound Blaster G3 USB-C External Gaming USB DAC and Amp for PS4, Nintendo Switch, Ft.
