Prix corrects et excellent son
Cette carte audio externe est pile ce que je recherchais. Le pris est correct (des cartes similaires chez Creative coûtent plus de 100 euros en moyenne). Le bouton sur le boîtier est un plus, même si je ne m'en sers pas, ça fait quand même trois possibilités de moduler le son (réglages Windows, le bouton sur les enceintes et ces boutons sur le boîtier). Le son est très bon puisque j'ai un système 5.1. Cela m'a permis de récupérer du son sur un PC où la carte son interne et intégré à la carte mère a lâché. Le produit est arrivé dans les délais annoncés et bien emballé. Ce fut une joie que de retrouver du son sur mon PC.

A nice little gadget
Having purchased an internal sound card recently from somewhere else, I was a little concerned that this would work properly. I wanted to connect my Desktop PC to a 7.1 HT System using the TOSLINK and the sound card only supported 2 channels via this connector. However, this USB Sound Card works a dream. I initially plugged it into a Windows 7 based Laptop and it installed everything first time. A reboot was required and I was quickly able to play some music & films using the full 7.1 surround sound. The next task was to check out this sound card with my desktop PC which has Windows XP. This initially installed the Windows drivers for a USB Sound Card which didn't support 7.1 channels on the TOSLINK. Once I realised that this was the issue I ran the installation program on the supplied CD ROM and the correct drivers are now installed and it works just fine. Page 4 of the manual identifies the chipset used (C-Media CM6206) in case you have a problem finding the driver. Again I can play music & films and all the channels are used. I have briefly tested the other output sockets (headphone & surround outputs) and these all appear to be working. I have yet to use the two microphone sockets to see how good they are at capturing stereo sound. The LED on the device is useful. It flashes slowly when sound is being received, which is a good indicator if you are having configuration problems. The volume & mute controls work too. As for the quality, I've had no problem with this on the TOSLINK output. I no longer have a surround sound that would use the 3.5mm sockets, but may use it if at a friend's home, so I can't comment on their performance at this stage. Overall I am very happy with this product. It has done just what I wanted and works well. It definitely works with both Windows XP & 7.

Startech scheda esterna usb 7.1 Davvero efficiente!
Mi serviva una scheda audio, stabile, per pilotare almeno 3/4 canali audio separati di output, per un impianto da 6/8 bass shaker; Lo fa, ed anche bene; - i segnali sono puliti, molto più potenti della scheda audio Realtek; - altre schede audio esterne hanno ceduto dopo 1-2 giorni di utilizzo, ed è stato un tribulare tra resi e rimborsi per via del tempo perso; - Invece questa scheda audio, leggermente più costosa, è stabile, sta facendo il suo dovere, precisa e potente; -Ottima come sostituta di una scheda audio interna; è plug & play 7.1; io l'ho connessa ad una Usb 3cavi tutti inclusi nella confezione, insieme al cd di installazione; -Importante: ricordatevi di disabilitare l'audio Realtek di Windows 10; altrimenti questa scheda, non può prendere il controllo totale dell'audio del vostro Pc, ed è quello che vi serve per poter accedere a tutti i canali; - Forse esteticamente non è il massimo e sembra plasticosa; anzi a dire il vero è bruttina, (mi ricorda Blender di futurama) ma se funziona e anche bene, non mi importa dell' estetica; anzi mi sono affezionato; - Vale tutti i soldi che costa; meno di 60 euro; Dopo un mese di utilizzo, funziona, sembra instancabile; Non scalda in nessun modo; in pieno esercizio lavora a temperatura ambiente; Vedremo quanto dura; Per ora un prodotto serio, e funzionale; Dopo 1 anno continua a pilotare i bass shaker della mia postazione con efficienza, Consiglio vivamente Saluti Rio

Instalación sin drivers ni software y funcionando
Mi placa base tiene algún tipo de problema con la salida trasera, de manera que sólo se oye un canal de esa salida. Así, opté por comprar una tarjeta de sonido externa (ya se sabe que ahora ya no se puede montar nada dentro de la caja, con lo que ocupan las gráficas). Antes de éste, compré otro modelo genérico muy habitual por Amazon. Aparte de requerir instalación de software (no reconocido por Windows 10), una de las salidas no funcionaba, así que lo devolví y le puse la review que se merece. Opté a continuación por este StarTech y ha sido una experiencia mucho mejor. Conectado y detectado directamente, sin drivers ni software. El nuevo dispositivo de audio aparece y funciona sin más. De la calidad de audio no puedo hablar porque lo uso para mandar efectos de telemetría a los bodyshakers de mi asiento de simulador. En ese sentido, funciona como es de esperar, con su canal frontal, trasero y central. Ahora tan sólo hace falta que siga así durante mucho tiempo.
