This USB Audio adapter converts a USB port to an audio port, allowing you to add headsets and microphones to your computer without the need to unplug other devices! Compliant with USB 2.0 and USB audio device specification 1.0, the USB audio adapter couldn't be any simpler to install...it's as easy as connecting the adapter to an available USB 2.0 port, then connecting your audio devices to the provided 3.5 mm audio ports as needed. Compatible with Windows 98SE and up, as well as Mac OS 9.x and later, the adapter integrates into any computer environment, providing superb sound quality and convenience that can't be matched.

Works exactly as described - excellent value . At the time of my writing, there are only 2 other reviews; one who's worked perfectly and loved it and one who's didn't and hated it. I would have hesitated, therefore, to buy this for myself, but had seen a majority of very positive reviews for this product on Newegg (Amazon offered free super saver shipping when purchasing with another item, so I saved over $6 using Amazon!). Mine arrived, plugged in, works 100% and quality is perfect (complete silence when no audio is being played, as opposed to my built-in motherboard audio which was always static filled). No drivers needed, Windows 7 saw it and installed it. Excellent for Skype. Nothing else to say, a great product.

StarTech.com USB 2.0 To Audio Adapter Reviews
Do you want sound to come out of your computer? . This review will be sparse as my recall of the events surrounding the install of this sound card are few. I remember, vaguely, opening the packaging and maybe four seconds of pondering if I should install the driver cd (did it come with a cd?) before the movie I had playing started coming out of my speakers. Setup was 1-step, plug in (on Windows XP Home).
It has a microphone and a headphone/speaker port on front, is probably 3-4 inches long (does stick out a ways from the computer). I'm able to yank (yes, yank) headphones from it without pulling it out of the usb port (barely, just keep in mind).
I wanted something that was cheap and simple, this fits the bill. It came with a small usb extension (less thank 6 inches if I recall) and a cap (now in the trash). Sound quality is as good as original sound card (vostro 200 factory default) that I fried.

great work-around . When the sound on my laptop suddenly quit, I envisioned many $ to investigate and repair it. On a whim I Googled "USB audio" and up popped this item. It was the least expensive of a half-dozen or so similar items so I chose it, figuring that if it didn't do the job I wouldn't be out much. It arrived promptly and I plugged it into a USB slot, plugged my speakers into one of the two outlets and ...instant sound - and of high quality. I'm very pleased with it.

Works great even along with my regular speakers . I use this little device when I want to use my headphones late at night to edit music recordings I make. I have had no problems at all with this little device. Just plug it into any usb port and plug in a set of headphones BEFORE you open an application that will play a sound. That way it becomes the default device that application will use. Use your systems volume control to control the sound.
Works easily on a mac and has great sound!! . I bought this for my girlfriend who has a defective audio jack on her macbook. I carefully read all the reviews for similar items and noticed that everyone had problems with sound quality, (distortion, heavy bass, etc..). It seemed that this one, although having the fewest reviews, did not have any sound quality complaints. This product worked perfectly and the sound is absolutely perfect. If you looking for a USB audio jack, just get this one and save yourself the trouble of reading all the other reviews :-)
very good sound . The StarTech USB audio adaptor works fine on my Mac laptop. It was indeed plug and play. Although, I must add that the laptop was already familiar with another USB adaptor (Behringer). One suggestion though is to use an extension USB cable to move the aduio adaptor a little away from all the digital noise that the laptop can otherwise put onto the analog audio output lines.John Woods
Its nice . This is better that te previous usb car sound that I buy here on my country, its easy to use, install very fast, fastest that the other and better quality, Im happy cuz my audio port it doesnt work at all, so I need this and has a nother usb cable so I can conect another thing on my lap. hope it last more than the previous. the shipping was fast and I live on Honduras xD yeah!
Good . This adapter is the first external sound adapter I bought so I cannot say how good it is compared to other similar products. But my experience is OK. It's working well for windows7(though you have to struggle setting it up). You have to install one driver for each USB port. It doesn't work for linux, at least my distro(Ubunto 11), unfortunately. The sound quality is... better than nothing. So in general. When you need to buy a adapter, usually you have no choice, right?
Cons Review
Junk . Purchased from Antonline through Amazon, it did not work first time. Antonline refused to take back, their reason was I damaged the "package when opening to get the item out!! Also I downloaded the driver when it did not work to try and correct things, this was another reason they refused to replace. If and only if I could send the item back in perfect packaging so they could re-sell to some other unsuspecting person would they agree to replace it. What a rip-off, I asked them how a person could open the package without ANY damage and try to use the product. It came with a disc, but if you use it, they won't let you return the product. So why even send a disc?? Complete piece of JUNK from a craphole seller. Amazon did honor their warranty so I did get my money back, but the seller is at fault 100%
Mic didn't work for me . Works fine for just headphones, but the microphone doesn't work. However the circuit board ITSELF picks up sounds and vibrations.
Weird. Useless to me as I need the mic function as well.
