- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseI bought this after a junk Cudy Bluetooth/WiFi card (also reviewed - would not buy THAT again) caused serious noise and feedback issues between wifi and audio on my gaming PC. Troubleshooting had revealed that the RealTek driver required for certain functions was also exacerbating the issue, for those with the same problem. This item installed in seconds with no drivers required, though I recommend a USB extension cable to prevent the pull of gravity from excessively heavy audio cables damaging your USB ports or motherboard.
NOTE: My audio runs through the GPU HDMI out to a TV, then from a TV back to the sound card. Output is split to a home theater system and a Bluetooth transmitter box (also reviewed here, couldn't be happier with it) for my headset. I had huge issues with a buzzing noise that came and went with varying intensity that is now gone on my headset, and all but gone on the home theater system.
One difference here is that while I used Line In on the onboard sound, this has only a Mic input, which requires a bit of finesse to properly set levels without distortion. And the Mic input does indeed work, I am not sure what others are complaining about. I have noticed that with my usage, I don't need the gain up as much for what I am doing with it. AND I am running Win10, so it's clearly not a Win10 issue.
Right out of the box, I was fairly impressed. The noise was all but gone, and after adjusting the more obvious sound levels and enabling some enhancements, it wasn't even noticeable anymore for the most part. Then I discovered that I could separately adjust sound levels and enhancements for the HDMI out the same way, and voila -- the noise is all but gone, and almost seems to have better sound than the factory onboard audio embedded in my Bazooka B450M Gaming motherboard. The fine-tuning, by the way, can be accessed by right-clicking the taskbar sound icon, clicking Open Volume Mixer, then select your HDMI monitor speakers or Speakers (this item will show up simply as "Speakers (USB Audio Device)"). You can then double-click its icon in the Volume Mixer, which will open another dialog box with tabs for Enhancements, Levels, etc.
What I found to work best is as follows:
For monitor pass-through back to this item, I set monitor volume to 100% and enabled Loudness equalization ONLY. I then switched to the USB audio mixer settings, setting mic input gain to 30% and enabling Bass Boost and Virtual Surround ONLY.
After the above adjustments and fine-tuning, the aforementioned noise is still VERY faintly there in games, but it is now unnoticeable in other functions. I want to be clear that the noise is NOT a fault of this product, it is an annoying pre-existing issue that I bought this to solve, and it has helped greatly in minimizing it. It's not perfect, but has made huge improvements in noise reduction, which is, of course, the whole reason I bought it -- and there has been no noticeable sacrifice in sound quality.
Side note here -- I believe an old friend used this exact item to run karaoke shows from his laptop, which speaks volumes for the quality. I couldn't tell the difference between the CD+Gs when he ran entirely from disc and the MP3+G files he played through this item.
It's been less than six hours since install, but I am blown away by how good this thing sounds, considering it is truly plug and play and fits in the palm of your hand. You really can't beat this thing for the price, and if you're experiencing noise and feedback from your wifi with onboard audio - this will indeed solve the problem with a few adjustments. Order with confidence - this thing does what it claims to do and more.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseThis worked great. Plug in and it works. Sound quality is good.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2024Style: USB- AVerified PurchasePros
Works as advertised with Windows 11.
Did not require loading drivers.
Simple to install and use.
Cons
I originally installed this on a USB 3.0 port of a USB C docking adapter. It showed as working, but did not produce sounds. I switched to a USB 2.0 port on the same adapter and it worked as expected. I tried it on a direct USB 2.0 port and it also worked. The USB 3.0 problem may have been in the adapter, but switching to a USB 2.0 was easier than investigating further.
Note: I purchased this unit because every time that Windows updated, it disabled the internal sound card on my HP laptop. I still can't use the internal headphone jack, speakers and mic, but at least can use my desk based sound equipment and a headset.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseThis thing just works!
I originally purchased this for a small NUC computer that did not have direct audio output. It works so well I purchased two more.
I have plugged in several of my other machines
And windows immediately recognizes it and activates it, and that is on every windows OS from Win95 to Windows 11.
this thing rocks!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseMy 3.5 mm audio and mic jack were starting to not work as good, espeically my audio jack on the front of my PC. I'd have to constantly rotate the audio jack to get the sound to work. Got this and plugged both in and the audio works flawlessly now. Haven't tested the mic yet too much, but it works fine as well. Only thing is, you usually have to unplug the entire USB device from PC to get external audio to work unless you go into your audio settings to disable the USB device and make your external audio device to work. It's just easier to unplug the entire USB device from PC though. It all depends on how your audio is setup on your PC though. Overall if your 3.5 jack is failing on your PC, this is highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!
Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseTHIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AND I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!
I ran into a very weird issue where suddenly my PC was barely detecting my headset's mic volume. The mic works well on all other devices, but for some reason it would always read the input as 0% even when the mic volume was fully boosted. This made the mic sound extremely quiet on all applications, and additionally it created a small static noise in the background.
I bought this as a desperate attempt to fix the problem AND IT WORKED! Not only did it eliminate any static and background noise - It let me boost my mic's input through the adapter and the mic sounds GREAT! It's nice and loud, and crystal clear. My friends say I sound way better over call now a days.
Not only that: It really does amp up the surround sound and games sound so good with this little thing.
It exceeded my expectations and was a super cheap solution - such good value for your money. I definitely recommend it; especially if you have the same quiet headset mic problem as me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funciona perfectamente y soluciona problemas de audio
Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseCompré este adaptador porque mi puerto de auriculares dejó de funcionar y necesitaba una solución rápida. La instalación es plug & play, lo conectas y en segundos está listo sin necesidad de instalar drivers.
El sonido es claro y sin interferencias, tanto para auriculares como para el micrófono. Lo he probado en Windows y en PS4, y en ambos ha funcionado sin problemas. Además, la construcción es robusta y no da sensación de ser un producto frágil.
Si tienes problemas con la entrada de audio de tu PC o consola, este adaptador es una solución económica y efectiva. Muy recomendable.
