Woke up this morning and checked my inbox. Creative Labs is encouraging me to RMA my card.
With the full launch not looking like it will happen until later this month, I'm very leery of sending this card in and waiting an extended period of time for one to come back. I've been using this thing for over a month without any issue.
I wonder if the cards that trickled out in January were pre-production and this is an attempt to rein those cards back in...
Does anyone have an experience with the Creative RMA system? Should I swap cards out, or will they leave me with nothing for an extended period?
Thank you for purchasing Sound Blaster's new flagship sound card, the Sound Blaster ZxR.
We are writing to inform you that based on our recent routine quality checks, we discovered that there is a minor performance variation with the current sound cards. The sound cards may not be delivering the best quality audio that it is truly capable of.
Customer satisfaction is our top priority and we would like to bring this to your attention and offer a replacement unit for you.
