  • music27 mentions

    Overall, users praise the music experience provided by the software, highlighting its ability to enhance audio clarity and create a more immersive soundstage for both gaming and music listening. However, some users express concerns about CPU usage affecting performance, stability issues when using multiple audio applications, and the need for specific sound settings to optimize the experience. Despite these drawbacks, many consider the software essential for enjoying music and gaming alike, with a transformative impact on their audio experience.

    • “Dolby sound makes such a world of difference in music.”
    • “It enhances the music a lot; I can basically hear all instruments clearly now in tracks in which I couldn't hear them well before, and the tracks sound more natural (like someone were playing near me, not like just speakers).”
    • “The spatial sound card is an absolute must-have for gamers, but also for movie- and music freaks.”
    • “My only real complaint is that I wish there was a way I can import EQ settings for headphones I own since I EQed them to diffuse field using Equalizer APO + Peace, so the low end doesn't sound too boosted in certain games and multi-channel music.”
    • “No good if you use your PC for music as well as gaming.”
    • “Bought this software since it was cheap and figured I would test it, I highly do not recommend.”
  • stability3 mentions

    Users report significant stability issues with the software, citing difficulties in initial setup and frequent sound problems, even on high-end systems like the 5900x. Troubleshooting is often required, with many experiencing glitches such as audio cutouts and crackling, though some issues can be temporarily resolved by restarting the program. Overall, the software is considered buggy and unreliable, leading to a lack of recommendations from users.

    • “Getting it to work at first was tricky, and you do need a good CPU to run this at low latency. Even then, sometimes my system just says no, and you get serious sound problems for no reason at all on a 5900X. The software is buggier than anything else!”
    • “There is way too much troubleshooting you have to do to make it run correctly. I spent over 40 minutes trying at least 10 different methods, and only one of them worked. Most attempts ended with the sound being muted, and one method separated game and browser sound, resulting in 7.1 on the browser and stereo in-game. I cannot recommend it, to be honest.”
    • “Sometimes it glitches out by cutting out or cracking, but it is easily fixed by restarting the program.”
  • optimization2 mentions

    The optimization of the game initially received praise for smooth performance and impressive sound quality, but users have reported significant issues over time, including sound distortion and stuttering. Many have found that proper configuration of audio device settings is necessary to mitigate these problems, though frustrations with the support team have been noted.

    • “If you are experiencing stuttering in the sound when you first start the game, you need to configure your audio device settings correctly.”
    • “The game suffers from severe performance issues, making it nearly unplayable on lower-end systems.”
    • “Despite having a high-end PC, I still encounter frequent frame drops and lag during gameplay.”
