I bought this device because there seems to be a lot of what I will call 'electronic noise' through my computer's 3.5mm headphone jack. Whenever I would give any amount of volume to my music I would get a lot of extra noise, almost static. I tried a different headphone cables but I realized it was the port because as I would touch the connection it would create more or less static. If I found exactly the right position of the headphone cable I might get it to be clear until it moved again and then more electronic noise. Very annoying.
This unit works exactly as I expected and as designed. I no longer get any extra noise through the USB port. I am grateful for the price, which was below 10 dollars.
I like that this unit has a bit of an extension on to it rather than it being a single piece connecting directly into the USB port where it can interfere with my other USB connections on the same bank of USB ports. The unit seems well manufactured and is color coded for headphones and microphone ports. There is an engraved picture of a headphone and microphone on each port, but I could barely see those, so the color helped give it away.
I plugged it in and Windows 7 immediately detected it and took a few seconds to load the drivers the first time as the popup near the clock indicated it was loading the drivers. I connected my headphones and a microphone. Windows plays my music through this device and pics up my microphone great. I am very please to have a great solution to my problem other than replacing the motherboard for those built in sound card 3.5mm jacks.
