USB 2.0 5.1 sound adapter

The Ruth's sister USB 2.0 5.1 sound card adds a 5.1 channel audio interface to any desktop or notebook with a USB port. It connects stereo speakers or headphones and a mono microphone through 3.5 mm jacks. Hardware buttons control microphone mute, speaker mute and volume level. No driver installation is required for Windows 98 SE through Vista, Linux or Mac OS.

Bus-powered operation and silent running

The adapter draws all power from the USB bus so no external supply is needed. With no moving parts the unit runs completely silent during use. Power consumption stays within the limits of a standard USB 1.1 or 2.0 port. The compact enclosure adds no audible noise to the system.

5.1 virtual channel simulation

The single specification that decides fit is the Xear 3D virtual 5.1 channel simulation provided in software for Windows XP and Vista. Buyers who need true hardware 5.1 decoding or support for newer operating systems without additional software should look elsewhere. The adapter presents a stereo output that the included software expands to a surround experience.

Questions about this item

How do I install the USB 2.0 5.1 sound card on my laptop?

Plug the USB Type-A connector into a free USB port; Windows 98 SE, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Linux or Mac OS will recognise it without any driver installation.

What maintenance or replacement will the adapter need later?

The unit has no moving parts or batteries; keep the 3.5 mm jacks free of dust and replace the adapter only if the USB plug or audio sockets become physically damaged.

What limit appears first during sustained use?

Continuous operation is constrained by the USB 1.1 bandwidth available through the USB 2.0 connection, which caps the maximum audio data rate.
