StarTech.com USB Sound Card w/ SPDIF Digital Audio & Stereo Mic – External Sound Card for Laptop or PC – SPDIF Output (ICUSBAUDIO2D),Black

I am very happy with my purchase especially for the dolby surround 5.1. Everything works fine on Windows 11.

Highly recommended. This USB adapter works really well as an interface for recording musical instruments with a STEREO 3.5 mm battery-powered microphone like the AT2022 or AT822 (the kind of stereo mics often used with audio-for-video and portable audio recorder applications). It is a worthy replacement for the old Griffin iMic, which only recorded at 16 bit. The stereo mics, combined with this soundcard and a laptop, make for a really light, compact and portable kit for quick, great-sounding recordings. It captures excellent sound at 24/44.1, which I find to be the sweet spot for digital recordings. The latency, input and output levels on the soundcard were very user friendly and pretty optimal. I use it to record electric guitar, which is a relatively loud sound source, so I cannot report in detail on the noise floor of the soundcard. But in preliminary testing with spoken word, the noise level seemed surprisingly good for a consumer-level device, and would likely be more than adequate for most recordings. The hardware volume control on the StarTech is a nice bonus, and very convenient. The StarTech soundcard installed effortlessly in seconds on Windows 10, which automatically installed the right driver. You may need to make some tweaks in the Windows Control Panel/Sound settings to optimize the output and input of the StarTech USA Sound Card for your computer--that is also the place you can change the bit depth and sample rate for this soundcard. I use Cubase as my recording DAW, and this soundcard gave excellent results, both recording via the mic input and monitoring via the headphone output. And Cubase had no problem recognizing and connecting with the StarTech's inputs and outputs. My pre-sales contact with StarTech was impressive. The online chat representatives gave fast responses to my technical questions. I have no idea how durable this will be in the long run. But if it delivers a reasonable service life, I would gladly get this again.

J'ai acheté cette carte son externe pour ajouter une sortie optique vers mon home cinéma 5.1.Le Dolby et DTS marche parfaitement bien et le son est de belle qualité.Excellent rapport qualité-prix pour cette utilisation, à côté des Creative et ASUS à plus de 60€.Si rien ne sort, essayez d'autres ports USB, c'était un peu capricieux de mon côté mais tout est OK après quelques essais.Pour bien tester votre système de son, n'hésitez pas à télécharger une vidéo de test avec sortie 6 canaux, une sortie testée à la fois.

BA型モニターイヤホン(2万円位)をPCで使うと中高域がキャンキャンとうるさく下は全くと言っていいほど出てませんでしたが、このヘッドホンアンプをはさむことによって全域で気持ちよい音になりました。もっと早く気づけばよかった。

For years I tried to get the lot of my Bose headphones (QC15, QC25 and Soundsport) to work with my PC for gaming with voice chat, their mics are inline for smartphones. The TRRS adapters just never worked, I tried so many of them, including a crappy startech one, even tried to splice my own but to no avail.I was relunctant to have a USB adapter because it added an audio card to my computer but than I realized that the soundcard on my motherboard probably wasn't much better! So I took the plunge and so far, this little device is working beautifully! Haven't noticed any issues software wise on my computer either.Pros :- Working great (for me, that's awesome for startech products...)- Sturdy and well built- Small footprint, can be stuck to a PC with double sided tape for example- Really works with TRRS, so smartphone headphones with inline mics work!- Amplifies audio by A LOT, which can be a good thing and also a bad one...Cons :- Plugging a single channel mic in the mic port cuts off the inline microphone, I guess it's by design, it's a bit of a bummer though.- Amplifies audio by A LOT, which, like I said in the pros, can be a good thing, but can also blow out your gear and your hearing... SO BE CAREFULL
