1226 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Mic Adapter from THT Trade
17 May 2011
By Michael
My Dell Laptop headphone socket has come loose inside & no longer works, although the main speakers still work OK. I looked on the net for a fix and it appears Dell say a new motherboard is needed. I didn't want to pull the laptop apart to try and fix it myself in case I damaged something and made things worse. Fleabay has poor reviews with USB Sound Cards (hiss & over heating) but I decided to take a chance with THT Trade on Amazon (1226 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Mic Adapter USB £[]). I ordered the card Sunday & the item was delivered two days later. I plugged it into the USB port and the drivers were automatically installed (Win XP Pro). I played a music file and the onboard speakers were automatically disabled and my headphones worked brilliantly - no hiss, crackle or distortion. This USB card has a volume control built in but it's not needed because the speaker icon near the clock on my desktop works the USB card volume when it's plugged in, and it works the onboard speakers when the USB card is pulled out. If you disconnect this USB card part way through playing a Youtube video file the onboard speakers do not automatically come on, you have to start the music/video file again (but this is no problem). THT Trade give a 12 month warranty (which I hope I will not need). The card has a microphone socket which I have not tested, but I don't need either. I have not tested the card with external speakers - I only wanted a fix for the headphone socket and this card does that perfectly!

Build quality good compared to other, slightly cheaper equivalents. Worked great with my headset & macbook pro, which apple thoughtfully forgot to equip with a line in port. Setup was non-existant, just plugged the appropriate cables into the adapter, then selected the appropriate input/output on my sound settings. Quality good - cannot detect any reduction in audio quality from using this adapter. Quick delivery!

Excellent value for money - fairly small in size. If your USB ports are very close together you may have an issue plugging anything into the next port.
Plugged into my ubuntu 10.04 64bit server and worked straight away - nothing required, no setup etc.
Sounds ok - perfect for task.

good idea- but became erratic after 2 days
Unfortunately stopped working after a couple of days-- however may be due to USB sockets that are not 100%--- any weighty inputs seem to be vulnerable and benefit from some... Read more

Works first time - no drivers needed
I can't comment on the sound quality since I have only used it for speech - look at the other reviews

Flimsy, but does the job
The plastic casing falls off quite easily, and I have mine taped up to prevent it coming apart (been using it daily for about 5 months now). Read more

External Sound Card
Excellent. Did the job for a very good price. My speakers stopped working and I could not get sound card working and this was the solution.

Good item, but quite clearly used
The item works exactly as it should, but with scratches on the body of the item, it definitely is not 'new'
