USB 2.0 7.1 channel audio adapter

This compact USB 2.0 adapter adds a 7.1 channel virtual surround sound output and a mono microphone input to a desktop or laptop. It connects through a standard USB Type A port and provides separate stereo output and microphone jacks. The device is bus powered, so no external supply is needed. It suits users who want multi-channel audio from a system that only has basic stereo sockets.

Thermals noise and power draw

The adapter draws power directly from the USB bus at full speed 12 Mbps and has no moving parts, so it produces no audible noise and negligible heat. LED indicators show microphone mute status and USB activity. Because it is entirely bus powered, it adds only a tiny load to the host port. Normal use stays well within standard USB 2.0 power limits without requiring extra cooling.

Driverless plug and play compatibility

The adapter follows USB Audio Device Class 1.0 and HID Class 1.1 specifications, enabling driverless operation on Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Linux and Mac OS. Hardware buttons control microphone mute, speaker mute and volume up or down. Buyers who need hardware accelerated DSP effects or ASIO support for professional recording will not find those features here.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB 2.0 7.1 channel adapter and what step is often missed?

Plug the USB Type A connector into a USB 2.0 port; Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Linux or Mac OS will recognise it automatically with no driver installation required.

What maintenance or replacement will this adapter need over time?

The adapter has no moving parts and draws power from the USB bus, so no scheduled maintenance is needed; keep the USB Type A, stereo output and mono microphone jacks free of dust.

What limit appears first during sustained use of the 7.1 channel virtual sound card?

The USB 2.0 full-speed link runs at 12 Mbps, which caps the total audio bandwidth available for 7.1 channel playback and microphone capture.
