SteelSeries Siberia USB soundcard FAQ:
Q: I have a soundcard in my computer is your USB soundcard better than what I already own?
A: Probably not. Our tiny and affordable soundcard was never designed to out-perform the big expensive soundcards out there. It was designed for gamers who either use systems with (often crappy) on-board soundcards or players who travel a lot.
Q: Why is your USB soundcard better than my on-board soundcard?
A: The soundcard features a processor which frees up CPU power on systems utilizing an on-board soundcard. More free CPU power equals more CPU power for your game application - and quite possibly a better in-game performance from the player. The sound quality should be considerably better as well.
Q: Why do you recommend your USB soundcard for gamers who travel?
A: Playing at home is one thing. Playing at LAN-parties, tournaments or even netcafés is an entirely different thing. Imagine playing on a tournament computer with a crappy on-board soundcard - or just a soundcard which produces an entirely different soundscape than you're used too. All those hundreds of hour practising at home, getting used to your in-game sound and all the timings and in-game decisions you base on sound, just went out the window. With our USB soundcard you play anywhere, with the same sound settings you've practised with every day.
Q: Where can I find the latest driver for the USB soundcard?
A: Right here.
