Ratings and reviews

Workaround for the App if it should not open: the app need that Sound Blaster Services is running in the background. Newer Android Phones blocks associated launches that run in the background too save some batterypower. Go under Settings -> App Management -> Associated launch manager and ALLOW (normally everything is deactivated) Sound Blaster Services to launch and run in the Background. Hope it solves the problems with the app for somemore people that way; simply give it a try!

App used to work well, but as my Pixel 2XL has updated Android several times (and now on Android Q), this app hasn't been updated to keep up. Several SBX features don't seem to work if you change them via the app anymore, and there's notifications every few minutes about the app not being for Android Q and may not work. I've removed it now, and will just use the software on my PC (which also hasn't been updated since 2016 for Windows). Feels like they've abandoned updating it.

Requires another app that needs to be running all the time, the phone gives me constant alerts that Sound Blaster Services is resident in memory, there's no way to kill the app, it comes back all the time. As usual with Creative, there is always an effup with their products.
