Overall Review: This USB audio adapter saved us! We bought an expensive laptop and found our Skype calls were having problems. Speaking near or far from the laptop's built-in microphone didn't make a difference; we kept having drop-outs. The big problem: The laptop had only an earphone jack; there was no jack for an external microphone. Although I had never seen an adapter like this, I somehow imagined it might exist. Amazingly I bought this adapter, plugged it into one of my laptop's USB connectors, added my mike and headset plugs, and I was off to the races! Using the USB connector for this audio application seems to bypass the faulty component on my laptop and high-quality audio is achieved completely devoid of the drop-outs we experienced with the laptop's built-in microphone. This adapter works like a charm. I highly recommend it for anyone lacking two standard audio jacks or anyone needing to bypass their system's normal audio circuitry.
