Thread: Experiance with eBay USB sound cards?

yeah dont bother with those... The "virtual 5.1" means absolutely nothing...its really jus a p.o.s.

I don't need 5.1. Stereo out is fine.

So, have you bought and used one of these?

never have, and for stereo out, it might be okay, but dont count on any type of quality...

ugh

I'm willing to bet I have more experiance with computers.

I've built, overclocked from 1.6 to 3.2ghz, watercooled a dual xeon workstation
built, overclocked from 1.4 to 2.4 ghz an AMD athlon
built a SBC-based P3 1ghz
built a AMD duron 950 setup
built a K6-400
built a P1-166
built a 486

i have built over 20 computers for a church fund-raiser, been paid to build for friends, been paid to re-build, run a web-design service, assisted in running a web-hosting service, built and run my own server (both voice, game, and web) i have programmed my own mmorpg, programmed my own racing game, and am currently programming www.sourcescrim.com, but if you want to buy a sound card from a cracker jack box, go for it...

what does your experience with computers have to do with the topic? since it seems like you know what you're talking about, you should know that you're taking a risk buying something like that and expecting a lot from it.

but like the other guy said, try it and find out.
