Works like a dream
Began with an old desktop i blew Ubuntu 24.04 on. Ubuntu works, but did not detect the on board sound. After digging around someone suggested a USB soundcard and this was plug and play on Linux. Highly recommend if you find yourself in a similar situation. It also came with a splitter, so if you want to use one laptop and watch a show with a friend, you can use the splitter and each use their own headset.

Perfect when the sound card goes kaput
My computers sound card was acting up. This bypasses the sound card and returns the sound back to normal. Plus it has a lot of addition features for game play. Does what it says it will do.

Outstanding Little Sound Card!
Perfect for what I needed. I've gotten back into PC gaming recently with my new gaming laptop but my favorite and most comfortable headphones are a nice pair of Sennheisers. The problem with that is that they are too sensitive and I was getting all kinds of random noise and distortion from the regular headphone jack. Looked for an external sound card to use; found this one, and now I'm super happy. No more noise or distortion, really nice sound stage, and I can play for hours with my comfy headphones. Super happy with this purchase!
