Customer Reviews

Rating: - Cheap and Good
I bought this unit because I needed a way to hook up my laptop into my home theater receiver since my laptop does not have a sound card. This product was perfect and absolutely gets the job done and is cheap! Plus into my laptop via USB, and plugs into my receiver via red and white audio cables. Perfect!

Great Accessory Sound Card

I bought this to trick my computer into recognizing two sound cards.

Rating: - Does not play well with software that does not support ASIO
This is probably a great gadget if your software supports ASIO. If you use something like Goldwave, forget it, no ASIO support so your input comes in as a microphone making volume control very, very hard.

Huge pity.

Rating: - Good, for a while
I hate cables coming out of my laptop, so I got the idea to use this so I could export sound out of the USB port and save one more attachment when using the machine with my 30 inch monitor. It worked great, fabulously, even giving me the ability to hook up my headphones too. Sadly, I started getting terrible static about 8 months on, which may be related to something called "latency" from reading the articles on the company's site. Sadly, there is no direct support for Macs and OS X although it works ... Read More
