This thing sounds smooth, detailed and very nice !!!!! *by on Reviewed in the United States November 25, 2014* This lovely metal encased USB external "sound card" pleasantly surprised me. The metal case is sturdy aluminum and not just a thin metal wrapping over plastic. The device uses a * single-chip * C-Media CM108 audio processor solution to handle the audio processing. Everything, and I mean everything, is handled on a single chip, including the 48 KHz DAC, USB hardware protocols, crystal clocking, synchronization, headphone amplification... everything. You can google more info on the C-Media CM108 chip to view all the technical specs. It's an impressive chip considering its low price and how well it can process digital audio.In summary, it was a simple plug-n-play operation to use it, no software required. I hooked it up to the USB port on my MacPro running OSX 10.9 and selected "USB Audio Device" in the "Sound" system prefs panel for audio output. What shocked me was the quality of the sound out of this little device, which was very good -- highly detailed but at the same time smooth and lush. No signs of any distortion or clipping became evident even when driving the audio output to its maximum limits. I think the quality of this detailed but smooth and lush sound may be due to the monolithic "one-chip" solution which keeps clocking time lags down to the bare minimum due to the ultra-short signal paths.I first tried the device with a pair of lightweight, inexpensive Panasonic headphones (32 ohms) and loved how well things sounded with a 320-kbps MP3 audio stream. OK, that was unexpectedly good, so time to push this one-chip CM108 solution a bit more to see what it can do. Next, I had it drive my large Beyerdynamic DT-990 Pro headphones (250 ohms). At this level of impedance you typically need to start thinking about using a high powered, dedicated headphone amp that can fully "grab" the phones and make them perform to spec. While the sound coming out of the DT-990 Pros was a tad lacking, it wasn't as bad as I had expected. Very listenable with the bass just a little bit short in the area of fast attacks. No signs of any background hiss or distortion and plenty of volume, too. I'm impressed!Would I use this $7 USB audio device to power a pair of large, high-end headphones? No, that would be a disservice to what a pair of truly high-end headphone can deliver. However, for the $7 bucks I paid for this little gem, it's truly amazing. I'm going to see if it works on my Acer Chromebook, too, since it says that it supports Linux. If so, then it would be a way to get much better sound from an inexpensive Chromebook laptop.Downsides? Well, as one poster mentioned, it appears to only have a mono-microphone input. This may be a problem for people who want to use this device for making stereo recordings. Also, if you are into experimenting with Software Defined Radios (SDR), then the lack of stereo input means this device cannot handle an I/Q data input stream required to process SDR demodulation. Also, I noticed that the L/R channels appeared to be reversed in their positions. I suspect the L/R wires to the output jack may have been incorrectly connected by the assemblers in China. None of this is an issue if you you are just looking for a small, sturdy, high quality device to drive a pair of moderately priced headphones. It can do that in spades and does it extremely well. Highly recommended.UPDATE 12-05-2014:It works seamlessly with my Acer 720 Chromebook !!!! I simply plugged it into the USB 3.0 port on the right side of my Acer 720 Chromebook and then adjusted the volume level in "Settings". No software required. Sound immediately went from the internal sound jack to the analog output of this small USB audio device. I took the analog output of this USB device and then fed it into a small, dedicated headphone amp -- the Topping NX1 -- and then into my Koss DJ100 headphones. The sound was heavenly. If you are looking for an easy means of increasing the quality of the sound from an inexpensive Chromebook, I can verify that this device works without a hitch on an Acer 720 Chromebook. Sweet! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great alternative that fixed my audio jack issue on my Macbook! *by on Reviewed in the United States January 4, 2015* ***4.5 Stars***I have a 13" Mid 2009 Macbook Pro running 10.9.5 Mavericks and this little thing works great on it. The aluminum casing for this is what got me to buy it since I wanted something that felt sturdy. After replacing my battery and cleaning the dust off inside my laptop, the sound was very low for earphones, even at max volume. That probably happened to a tiny mistake I made while cleaning. Instead of taking it to Apple to fix my sound issue, I opted for this instead. They would charge crazy amounts just to fix a tiny little thing for sure. I'm listening to music with my earphones as I type this out. 2 very minor things that could be annoying, one of which happens sometimes. I'll include that in the cons list here at the bottom. Honestly, those 2 things don't bother me at all.Pros:+ Comes with an small white extension. Great so that it doesn't block your other USB port(s). I completely missed this and bought an extra cable.+ Sound is great, if not better+ Aluminum casing+ Clearly labeled ports+ Matches the aluminum finish of Macbooks+ Better than taking my laptop to Apple's "Genius Bar" and having them fix itCons:- [*1] Sometimes I have to select "USB Audio Device" as the output after powering on my Macbook. Easily done from desktop screen.- [*2] Left/Right audio channels are switched. Easily fixed on OSX Macbooks (and likely desktops as well). Not sure about Windows though.- Unless you're using the included small USB extension cable, it will block your other USB port(s)--------Notes--------[*1]1) Hold the "ALT/Option Key" and then click on the speaker icon on the top bar of your desktop screen2) Under "Output Device," select "USB Audio Adapter" to output the sound to your earphones[*2]1) Plug in this USB Sound Adapter2) Click on Spotlight (top-right magnifying glass icon) and search "Audio MIDI Setup"3) In the window that appears, make sure "USB Audio Device" is selected. If not, click it to select it.4) Click "Configure Speakers..." on the bottom right corner of the window. Another window will appear that shows "Left Front" and "Right Front" buttons. Underneath each should be drop downs selections that include #1 and #2. You can click Left/Right Front to test the sound, which should be reversed at the moment.5) Set "Left Front" with #2 and "Right Front" with #1. Click the buttons to confirm that the sound is now outputting to the correct earphone speakers.6) Click "Apply" and then click "Done"7) If you use the USB ports interchangeably, repeat steps 1-6 for the other USB port(s) on your computer. It saves the setting for the port you originally configured, but it won't recognize it on the other port(s) if you haven't configured that as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product from Sabrent that's essentially plug-and-play. Fixes my driver-switching habits from speakers to headphones. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 19, 2016* I have an HP ENVY 15 with Windows 10 which puts out phenomenal sound out of the external speakers, but plugging into the headphone jack creates terrible fluctuation in sound. This can be attributed to the Beats Audio driver and HP not updating their driver to fix this horrible flaw. I didn't want to have to continuously switch drivers via Device Manager every time I wanted to plug in my headphones to my laptop. So, I decided to look into getting an USB external sound adapter. I decided to purchase this one because of its reviews, and it worked just as reviews have mentioned. The driver installs the moment it is plugged in, and it's essentially plug-and-play after the installed driver.. The sound quality is great as I've used it for listening to movies and music. I have not used the mic, and probably won't since I only bought this for its headphone connectivity.I only have two minor issues with this sound adapter. First, it installs separate drivers for each USB port it is plugged into. I have 3 USB ports; for every port I plug this USB sound adapter, it creates a driver for it in Device Manager. This can possibly create a conflict between sound drivers. Also, it does not sit flush in my laptop on the USB port I want to use. On my ENVY, there's one USB port on the right side of the laptop--the port I want to use for plugging it into. Because of its body shape when plugged into the left side, which has 2 USB ports, the USB sound adapter would block the other USB port. Because of these two minor issues, I deduct a star. Otherwise, it serves its purpose very well for me. ## Frequently Bought Together - SABRENT Aluminum USB External Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows and Mac. Plug and Play No Drivers Needed.
