Customers admire the Juke Virtual 7.1 USB Stereo External Sound Card for its exceptional sound quality, effortless plug-and-play setup, and budget-friendly price point. Many users have praised its compatibility with various devices, including speakers, and its suitability for gaming purposes. However, some users have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the headphone jack and the limited volume output.
I was skeptical of this product at first, but it proved me wrong. The installation was ridiculously easy. All I had to do was plug it into a USB port and it was ready to go about ten seconds later. I didn’t even have to open my computer or fuss with software. The Juke delivers sound superior to the so-so onboard sound I had before. Games sound so much better. In Quake, explosions are BOOM! Instead of boom and death screams are AGHHHH! Instead of ahhh. Subtle sounds like footsteps, grass rustling, and a breeze blowing in Skyrim are more refined, too. When listening to music all the instruments come across clearly like the band is in the room with you playing. Installing the optional software from the company’s website is supposed to somehow make your headphones sound like a 7.1 experience, but I haven’t figured that out yet. Anyway, the amazing 2.0 sound is enough for me. The juke obviously won’t sound as good as some 100+ dollar product, but it should be enough for most people who want to play games, listen to music, and whatnot at home on their computers. And for only $15 it’s hard to argue with the price.

Bought because kids damaged computer headphone jacks and couldn't hear anymore. Using this resolved our situation

Purchased to use my gaming headset with my new laptop that only had a single 3.5mm combo jack. I think the price point is good when you look at competitors, shipping, and what they offer (and I picked it up same day). The quality is good: tight fitting 3.5mm ports and secure in USB port. I wouldn't flex the cable unnecessarily but it seems like it will hold up for a long time. When plugged in the device showed up immediately and seconds later it was sending sound to my headset. There's no other software I'm aware of that's necessary to use this product which is a pro for me. Overall I'm very happy with it a month into using it.
