The included software is similar to the original STX, which unifies all of the functions of the sound card. It is well laid out and easy to understand and features various audio channel controls, an equaliser and easy button functions for music, movie and gaming modes. There are various Dolby technologies, including headphones, Dolby Digital Live, Virtual speaker and Pro Logic II which with the right gear, make for a powerful multimedia system. We also get controls for voice effects, crossover, tonal, crosstalk, environmental effects. Visually, it seems lacking in refinement by contemporary HD standards but it works well and is certainly more pleasing than using multiple applications.
