Model overview based on user reviews  
The Asus Xonar SE is a gaming-oriented internal sound card with a 5.1 channel setup and a C-Media 6620A audio chip. It features a 24-bit DAC with a maximum sampling rate of 192 kHz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 116 dB. Despite these specifications, user reviews highlight significant drawbacks. The sound quality is described as very quiet and comparable to onboard sound, with one user noting that the sound from their motherboard was even louder. Another user mentioned that the card requires grounding and uses cheap capacitors. While it might be a slight improvement over some basic motherboard sound solutions, the overall consensus is that the Asus Xonar SE does not offer a substantial upgrade, especially considering its price point. It may be a viable option only if your motherboard's sound is broken, but otherwise, it might not be worth the investment.
Pros

Cons

The card is utter crap. Its price is 15 EUR.

I bought it because my creative audigy fx has a noisy microphone, in games it’s not ice, I fell for the Asus brand + this is a new model. The main drawback is the very quiet sound. I’m very upset, and Citylink also refused to return me because they saw a small scratch from a screw.
Is there sound.
Very quiet, and the sound is so-so, the sound from the motherboard is even louder. I have something to compare with, 3 Creative cards have passed through my hands (hi-fi, recon3d, Audygi fx)

Slightly better than ALC887
Requires grounding
