Rating + 5 Some things are never easy


Pros: Amazing little device, my machine does not have a sound driver compatible for it and Windows 7 and this little beauty fixed my problem real quick. And for an awesome price.

Cons: None to speak of...

Rating + 5 Good fix for using speakers when the headphone jack broke


Pros: I purchased an eMachines emd250 Netbook and a month later the headphone jack already quit working but the built in speakers still work. But I needed sound while using my headphones so this little device worked without problems in Windows 7 Starter Edition. Very low power draw too.

Cons: The cap is a little frustrating to take off at times, and on Vista / 7 you need to set the default audio device to the USB sound card and not the onboard audio. Its a small trade-off for convienence I suppose.

Other Thoughts: It does what its supposed to do, theres nothing fancy to make your friends go wow, except they might think its a WIFI adapter instead of a USB sound solution. Its a very small price to pay when you do not want to try and fix the problem yourself internally (inside the laptop by messing with soldering tools etc)

Rating + 5 Great!!!


Pros: Great sound - No static or anything just clear as crystal
Gets very loud - had volume all the way up and went to plug my headphones in and immediately took them outta my ears it was so loud so have fun rock/metal people.
Nice Compatibility - Vista recognized it, plug-n-play didn't even need the driver CD but am thankful it came with one.
Tight cap - The cap was so tight I could barely get it off at first but after about 7 times taking it on and off it's tight enough to where its not gonna fall off but you won't have any trouble with it.

Cons: Well the only thing I can think of is it not having its own build in speaker but i doubt any of the Usb adapter have their own speaker built in so you don't have to use headphones all the time. Nice idea though.

Other Thoughts: My on-board sound-card for my laptop is just, well it's broken so i got this to fix my sound problem and it worked flawlessly :P

Pros: Cheap and a simple stick in and windows found without having to install disk. Works great on my wife's laptop. Use as sound since sound card went out so does a good job to have simple sound now even if we have plug a speaker in to get the sound.

Cons: Really none I see

Other Thoughts: Overall great price for sound and a handy little usb sound card

Pros: It's inexpensive and does its job. Works out of the box with Linux!

Cons: Doesn't work well with OSS when used with Linux. It won't let you record the speaker output, so it's impossible to record videos with sound on it.

Rating + 2 You get what you pay for...


Pros: It's dirt cheap.

The audio out actually works fairly decently.

Cons: The input isn't actually a line-in - it's a microphone jack.

The input isn't stereo - it's mono.

The input quality is terrible. Full of static, completely unusable.

Crummy physical design. Looks cheap, feels cheap, sounds cheap. Is cheap.

Couldn't get the cap on without a good deal of effort. Couldn't get the cap off without two pairs of pliers.

Other Thoughts: This is a great way to add an audio-out jack to your machine.

If you need a line-in or a microphone jack though, you should invest in a better product.

Rating + 4 works, but there is a catch


Pros: When my motherboard stopped providing audio via the front case headphone/microphone plugs, I ordered this as a workaround. Works fine.

Cons: Here's the catch: when I'm done using the headphones and I unplug this device from the USB port, my computer freezes and requires a hard reboot.

Rating + 5 Awesome little device


Pros: Worked perfectly. XP recognized it right away, no need to even put the cd in.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I had an old gateway machine that I could not find the audio drivers for to save my life. After about 2 weeks of trying to find drivers, I decided to give this little guy a try. Only thing that irritates me about all this is gateway drivers and I didn't decide to buy this sooner :-p

Rating + 5 Good cheap USB audio


Pros: I'm using this to get audio for my Linux installation, since my pci-e card is not supported. This usb one, of course, works great. Sound quality is good. Latency (with JACK/Ardour) is surprisingly low and I can easily use this to apply effects, in realtime, to my guitar. Does everything it should.

Cons: None of which I can think.

Rating + 4 Works as expected


Pros: Plug-n-play worked fine on MacBook Pro running Vista 64bit; Includes a USB extension cable which is a must have.

Cons: Feels a bit flimsy

Other Thoughts: Bought this because the MacBook Pro does not support an amplified mic input when running Vista 64bit in boot camp. I am not an audiophile, but it has sufficient volume when used with my Logitech - ClearChat Premium PC Headset.

Rating + 5 Works perfectly


Pros: Plug n' Play, Quick and easy install under Vista. No problems, works exactly as advertised.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I purchased this as an easy fix for a somewhat older Dell I have laying around - it has onboard sound which fried shortly after I purchased it. This machine runs as a file server so excellent sound is not a priority, just basic sound output was needed. With no available slots left for a replacement card this was exactly the fix I was looking for.

I haven't tested the sound thoroughly... I don't intend to use this machine for music or dvd playback etc., but from what I've experienced thus far sound quality is surprisingly good. No feedback, hissing etc. Just good, basic, sound.

Rating + 4 Works great


Pros: Cheap.

Cons: A little bulky, and sticks out kinda far from the usb slot. Probably not really much that can be done about that however, just due to the nature of the device.

Also, there is a noticable hum in anything that is recorded. This seems to be grounding related, because if I hold on to a metal rack by my desk, it goes away.

Other Thoughts: Bought this so that I could use a nice headset that I had lying around, rather than buying a new headset with built in USB support. Aside from the hum mentioned above, I am pretty happy with it.

I haven't heard anyone else mention that particular problem, so I can't say for sure if it is a common issue or perhaps I just got a defective unit. Regardless, it's not a big deal.

Rating + 1 ICUSBAUDIO Adapter


Pros: Small, shipping and Handling was excellent. Price is great if you need a Mic input

Cons: This is not a Line in/Out device as advertised on this page but a Mic input and headphone output device. If you connect another device's Line output to this unit's "Line in", you are going to get lots of sound/audio distortion due to the impedance mismatch.

Other Thoughts: If you need Lie input/output for your laptop you need to look for something else.

Rating + 5 I has sound!


Pros: Used on an aging system not designed for vista; no chipset drivers available so this is an excellent alternative if you have a non-functional onboard sound chip, no vista drivers or limted expansion card capability (like laptops).

Cons: Not sure if this is a problem with the device or my system but sometimes the audio output can become choppy. Uninstalling and reinstalling digital driver seemed to help cure it.

Other Thoughts: It isn't HD quality output but definatly perfect for those in the hole with "dead" hardware.

Pros: Wow, great price and good sound quality (yes, plenty of output volume), works for Macintosh / Hackintosh OS X 10.5 (Leopard)!! Macintosh / Hackintosh users need go to their Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound -> Output tab -> then choose C-Media USB Headphone Set.

Cons: Device's shape may require you use the included USB extension in order to physically connect to your USB port ... not unusual, just something to consider.

Pros: same as my last review: see icepop4who (title:100%)

Cons: same

Other Thoughts: to reduce the audio volume on windows vista, install the driver cd: to install, open the CD, right click on setup.exe, and select properties. On the compatibility tab check box "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select "Windows XP (SP2)" in the drop down menu. Click "OK." Run setup. When the setup ask you to reboot, remove CD and reboot.

Cons: Much, much louder than my original port, about 10~20dB

Other Thoughts: I got a black one instead of a white one. I would have preferred the black one but didn't know there was one until i bought the white one. ERR... Hooray!

Pros: It works, simply does exactly what it's supposed to. The headphone jack on my laptop stopped working so I bought this so I could listen to my music over some quality speakers rather than what I have in my laptop. Sounds great, easy to use and cheap.

Cons: None so far and I don't see any in the near future.

Rating + 5 Exactly what I needed!


Pros: This is a wonderful product and is definitely a steal at this price. My laptop's sound (which is built into the motherboard) broke, and rather than replacing the motherboard on the thing, which would cost over a thousand bucks, I picked up this little guy (albeit I was skeptical) and I couldn't be happier. It's easy, cheap, and sounds as good if not better than the mobo sound.

Cons: I guess the only con is that it is USB, which means it sticks out of your laptop and can be awkward (of course this wouldn't matter for PC's). I wouldn't worry about that though, it hasn't bothered me at all.

Other Thoughts: I don't know why people buy 300 dollar sound cards... maybe I have bad headphones or something but from where I'm sitting this sounds great.

Pros: Works fine. I use it with a headset permanently plugged into it. I plug it in when I need the headset for either Skype or Ventrilo/ TeamSpeak.

Cons: None for what I use it for.

Other Thoughts: The beauty for me is that each of these can direct their output to the adapter and leave the primary sound alone. With WoW, can leave game sound to the speakers and run Vent/ TS or the built in WoW voice to the headset.

Rating + 5 Basic, but it works


Pros: Painless installation. No PCI slot needed. Clear output. Plenty of volume. Hot pluggable. Portable.

Cons: Monaural mic input. No firmware to speak of.

Other Thoughts: I bought this for one reason - my Win XP desktop computer's onboard audio suffered from low volume, especially when watching DVD's. I'm very happy to have an inexpensive solution that works. No bells and whistles, but that's not a problem here. And hot pluggable means no more fried soundcards or broken drivers due to pulling audio cords out while the machine is on. NE got this to me next day! Can't beat that.

Rating + 4 Nice sound, easy install, misleading specs


Pros: It's inexpensive, small, easy to install, sound very fine for the price.

Cons: Mic/Line input is MONO. Specs say "Channels 2" "Line in: yes" "Line out: yes" wouldn't you think the thing has a two channel ( L/R) line level audio or stereo input.... well you'd be wrong. It will mix the mic/left onto the right faking a right channel after enabling the "mixer" but that seems to be it. ( btw: back of package once I got it says "Conntections: 1 USB A male" "1 3.5mm microphone jack female" "1 3.5mm stereo audio output jacks female")

Other Thoughts: Got it and other things in only two days... way cool Newegg.

If you're looking for a inexpensive USB sound device for a headset or audio this is a good product. If you're looking to record true 2ch L/R stereo on a laptop with only a mono mic input like I was this is not for you. Oh and the documentation is like one side of a small sheet of paper, and a PDF file with lots of blank pages that says basicly nothing about recording.

Pros: Definitely better than the sound on my laptop. Very compact. Great quality sound for the price. The software that came with it is very easy to use.

Cons: The USB connector bends easily, but then again I do treat it roughly. Not free nor will it make me sandwiches. Also doesn't come in black.

Other Thoughts: I bought it because the sound on my laptop wasn't working. It produces much better sound quality than my laptop ever did, also sound is much louder. Would recommend it even if your sound still works.

Rating + 4 Gets the job done


Pros: Simple, and inexpensive. I purchased this card to replace a broken onboard sound problem on my dad's laptop, which he uses to listen to MLB's online radio broadcast of baseball games.

Usually I have to head out to install such things, but this one he was able to do himself - it just plugs into a USB port, and works. He had the sound up and running within a few minutes of opening it up. It's also hot swappable.

Cons: Probably doesn't provide the most advanced sound quality, but I honestly can't judge.

Other Thoughts: Even though not pictured, it comes with a USB extender dangle, so you don't have to plug the rigid card directly into your USB port.

Pros: Excellant-works on Windows XP-Pro, Vista 64bit or 32bit OS with no problems, just plug it in and set your devices and OS to use this device. NO DRIVERS needed to be installed, this has the CMEDIA sound, Small and easy to take anywhere you go. it is only about or smaller than a "Bic Lighter" a lot of power for somthing so small. This has a Mic and speaker jack on it, i even used a small splitter to plug in my PC speakers and my head set, works Great. It does work with MAC or Windows, comes with software for MAC usage or windows, but you dont need the software drivers that are on the CD (just Plug N Play).

Rating + 5 FP Audio Solution


Pros: Plays well with other sound devices. Sound quality is excellent and hiss-free. Plenty of volume (except mic, see below). Virtual Surround. Installed without a single problem. Software is intuitive and robust. Small; about the size of a thumb drive. Seems durable at first glance. Very inexpensive - a good value. Geeky.

Cons: Mic volume is considerately lower than my on-board mic (testing it in Steam). Easy enough to tell Windows to use the internal mic instead (Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Device Properties/Audio/Sound Recording) . Also unsure if Windows supports concurrent use of two audio devices but I have yet to find a way to play the same sound out of both at the same time.

Other Thoughts: One of the coolest nerd toys I've seen in a while. This little baby really rocks! Best of all, it has given me what my case manufacturer neglected, Front Panel Audio. I just pop it into the front USB port and voilà! A convenient place to plug in my headphones for those intense gaming sessions. If your application supports selecting different devices (as both Winamp and Media Player do), you can play separate audio to both devices at the same time.

Other Thoughts: Wish I had bought it from Newegg with extra savings. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for similar product - you can't be wrong w/ this one.

Rating + 5 Great Piece of Technology


Pros: This is a great little piece! I have a bad sound card in my laptop and it killed the sound of my Logitech Z 2300 speakers. I bought this little thing and it upped the sound 40 fold! The power in this USB is really great I highly recommend if you are looking to boost your sound

Cons: NONE

Rating + 5 Not Bad


Pros: For its size, it handles the task pretty well. Very light, build quality seems to be very well. The USB connector does not feel flimsy at all.

Cons: None really. Should not replace a perfectly good sound card but its a decent alternative. Wish they had one in black so I can attach to the side of the monitor but no big deal.

Other Thoughts: Free shipping when I purchased it!

Rating + 5 Useful little thing


Pros: Decent price, useful for laptops and desktops if sound card/port stops working for some reason. Nice and compact device. Includes USB extension cable also. Fast shipping, as always with NewEgg.

Cons: Color, seems to be made for a Mac. Price was a little bit high, you can find the same for less on other sites, but you don't get the NewEgg satisfaction with shipping on those sites.

Other Thoughts: This company should make a PCMCIA version of this for the same price, because that is what I really wanted, but this works great on my laptop, my original Microphone port died and this is a perfect replacement.
