    Customers are dissatisfied with the mic quality of the sound card. For example, they mention that the audio out does not function, the jack on the back of the pc would not recognize microphones anymore, and the sound module died in their MAC. That said, some say that the sound out works as advertised and that it just didn't have a functional microphone jack.

    Great for Guitar Jamming using Windows 10 PC/Android and External Amplifier

    Great for Guitar Jamming using Windows 10 PC/Android and External Amplifier
    I wish I would have tried this thing earlier. I bought a laptop a while back without realizing that it had no proper line in / line out jacks and instead a headset mic/headset trrs which can't be used as traditional sound card jacks. A fundamental error. I ended up buying an EZCAP audio in jack. I figured I could use the Esiinkin bluetooth (delay issue playing guitar) or the projection Miracast to merge the output from my Line 6 Pod Pocket. What clusterpluck all that was.So I figured I would try the Sabrent Aluminum USB External Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows after looking at a bunch of other stuff. (see pictures for setup components) I got less lag record vs playback audio (about 130 milliseconds as far as I can tell from recording the tuner on the pod with my phone to capture both the guitar string strike sound and speaker output of the laptop/USB). Playing the guitar simultaneous with the shortened loop ready backing track works but I really don't think even the slight delay is good enough for "jamming") (btw - search dopez tracks "Rock Ballad Backing Track in Em" for a great example). The output from the Guitar effect (see pics) stereo output works with the mic input at the same time plugging in a stereo line in from the Pod Pocket but not sure it is not just mono out, but it sounds good over the backing track loop.Finally, the levels for both the backing track (output) and the guitar (input) appear on the same Sound Control using for the device so I can easily control the balance (mix) of the jam session. This is also easily done with Windows Volume Properties mixer. But the lag/delay is not workable.After all the wasted approaches, this usb audio input/output was pretty seamless, it was seven dollars and got it in two days. I had also bought a cheaper one but it seems to have the same delay on Windows 10.But, I did get the Sabrent to work with a pretty new Android Tablet that has a headphone/line to plug the Sabrent into. Checked with a recording app and the input working is working too. Then, found a free App called n-Track app (see 2nd picture) that monitors both input and output at the same time to less at the same time with my phone using the tablet as a source. The Sabrent, my Android Tablet (and phone I think) with N-track (free version) looks to be easy with no delay thought it took me a while to figure out the interface.Took a bit and had to get past some really stupid tech complexities, but ended up a $7 Sabrent and a free Android App and seems to work like a charm.

    5.0 out of 5 stars works well for amp input
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2020
    I just recently have become interested in recording my bass guitar for personal projects and for fun, but I was unable to plug the headphone output from my amp straight into my 2018 MacBook Pro because it would only recognize this as an output, not an input. I knew a microphone or external audio interface would come with plug that would hopefully be recognized correctly, so I began looking online for suitable setups. Since I am only recording for fun, I did not want to spend $100+ on a true audio interface when I only need the basic recording and can then edit in GarageBand/Audacity.

    I decided to try out this sound adapter because it uses a USB input, which I hoped meant the computer itself would recognize it as both an output and input device. It did! I was able to plug my amp headphone output into the sabrent device and then into my computer via an adapter (seen in photo), which then allowed me to select it as an input device.

    As for the sound quality of the input, it sounds fine. I had to play with both the settings on my amp and in Garageband and audacity for it to sound right, but it was pretty simple. There is a bit of static that can be lessened by slightly moving cords and plug ins, but I usually hear that out of my amp anyway. You could probably edit out most of the static or at least reduce it a lot using any audio program on a computer.

    Overall, I was very excited that the sabrent worked for this purpose, as I know it is more intended for other sound purposed. I can't vouch for its longevity because I have only had it for a day, but I think it is well worth it for the price and I'm glad I tried it out!
