2 Stars Very Tinny
I guess this is better than nothing but the sound quality is pretty poor. You get a bit of a hum and the sound quality is very tinny. I would definitely not recommend this item.
4 Stars USB Sound Card Adapter for Laptop use
My company provided me a laptop for business use, and to make sure, ordered it from Lenovo without the sound hardware.
This device allows me to view You Tube videos now with sound. It works fine. Just plugged it in and it works.
It’s a little bulky, and when plugged in to my side USB port, it elevates the computer such that the weight is taken by the device. I have to put the laptop on a book when I use this adapter and have the adapter hang over the side of the book (we are talking about 1/4 inch) Also, I don’t like how the LED flashes constantly when audio streams thru.
It is inexpensive and works well except for the few negatives mentioned.
4 Stars so tiny!
on the picture it actually looks quite big.
well, it’s not!
when i opened the envelop it came in, i was amazed by it’s small size.
it works well, but the sound quality isn’t great.
4 Stars Passable Sound, Good Price, Nothing Fancy
I got this USB sound card to replace a bad sound card in a used Pentium II Thinkpad that I got. I am running Ubuntu Linux 8.10 which recognized the sound card, though you need to make sure it is OSS rather than ALSA on the settings. I had some reservations about ordering it, because of the number of reviews that had complaints. The sound was about the same quality as the sound card would have been if it was working, which is all that I wanted. The USB plug did not fit the side port, it was too thick on the plastic to snuggle in, so I used an extension USB inbetween and it worked fine. I did not want to buy a more expensive USB card and this one did the job. I did not test the microphone and do not know how it works.
5 Stars Inexpensive and functional.
These things do exactly as they say. Windows plug and play USB sound output. Hmmm, I haven’t used the input yet and I likely won’t. This must be the QUICKEST and EASIEST way add audio capabilities to a lacking computer.
