Yes and it doesn't work because the U3 needs drivers to operate.
Isn't it supposed to work as a usb hid device?

Anyway, I just need to know whether SBX Pro = THX TruStudio Pro by those who actually experienced both and whether there are other technologies superior or comparable to SBX Pro that are supported by my onboard chip. Only then I can decide if upgrading to Sound Blaster Z is worth it or not.
Sorry for the long post! I will appreciate any feedback you can provide.
Thank you!
Guys, I am currently owning a Philips X1 + Creative Z.
Is there a update I could do, in terms to improve soundquality in music? I dont like the current sound quality..
What specifically don't you like?

Hopefully you disabled the motherboard's on-board audio? in the BIOS.
You have 30-Ohm headphones plugged into a headphone jack with an output impedance of 22-Ohms.
I'm assuming you are getting a bloated (louder, less detailed) bass?
I already order the V Moda cable with a Mic on it, it should be better right?
Shell I get a different sound card? The bass is a bit boring, I am mostly listen to edm and I just cant fell in love with it.
I thought the X1 really improved with an amp. The bass tightened up significantly, which cleared up the mids. I was using mine with my SB Omni (same as the Z) and the amp was a noticeable improvement.
EDIT - And yes, I thought the Boom-pro mic cable actually cleared up a little congestion that I didn't even notice until it was gone.
Well, its not bad and I am not a pro in the genre, but I think it can be better. The headset is great, but my old g35 and my qpad 90 sounds similar I think.
I am not sure, I just dont feel a big diffrent
Well I've never heard those other headphones, so I can't really comment on the difference. I know that the bass on my X1 was overpowering the mids until I amped it, which improved both the bass and the mids. My suggestion would be to grab a cheap amp like a Magni or Vali or an O2 or something (I don't know what's supposed to pair well with it).
Also, make sure you're listening to good music sources -- FLAC or 320k MP3's.
Currently listening my music on google music client and spotify, which is 320k.
Also, will I lose my Surround Sound, when I use a amp and how much performance boost can I achieve with it?
Nope, you won't lose your surround sound, tho you should probably have that turned off while listening to music. Regarding the performance boost, I'm not sure what you're asking. I've already described how the sound will change. It's not something I can be any more clear about, other than to say I didn't really like the X1 until I amped it and then I liked it a lot. But that's my taste in sound, your mileage may vary.
