Review: It Just Works - Mister Twiggly likes his games with plenty of BOOM. So when he pulled out his ancient Logitech Z-640 5.1 surround speaker system and connected it to his gaming rig, he was inconsolable when only two channels worked. A PCIE sound card fared little better; all speakers worked, but were mixed up, with no channel remap functionality. A friend told him about USB sound cards - he had no idea that such things existed - and he procured this one. To his surprise, it worked perfectly out of the box. He will now return to his previously-scheduled twiggling with 5.1 surround sound wonderfulness. He is a happy bear.
Review: This External Sound Card to Enable Computer Surround Sound Works Well At A Great Price - I plugged this external sound card into a free USB port and it just worked, without any 'looking for drivers' routine. The sound is great. This solved the problem of my refurbished 32 gig RAM 1 Terabyte SSD computer I just bought from desertcart for under $179, having only a stereo output plug instead of a surround sound output like my old slow computer. I had surround sound computer speakers I wanted to continue to use. What's really nice is how easy it is to output the sound to HDMI, for watching computer videos on the big screen television, and hearing the sound through our entertainment center's surround sound speakers. I wrote the following note to myself: "To Watch Computer Videos on TV: Set the AV receiver to "Computer". On the computer, at the Windows icon at the bottom left of the screen, search for and click on "Sound Settings". Find "Choose your output device" and click on the down arrow. Click on 'AMD HDMI Output (AMD High Definition Audio Device)' The sound will now go through the AV receiver to the AV center's surround sound speakers! When you want to go back to the computer sound coming from the computer's surround sound speakers, in 'Sound Settings', choose 'Speakers (2-USB Sound Device)'" That's what I do and so can switch the audio back and forth from the computer to the entertainment center. So amazingly, this product worked, it was quite inexpensive, and it did not have driver issues, so was any easy install. I'm quite pleased. EDIT: Don't look for obscure drivers on the enclosed mini cd. Just plug in the USB cord. Don't worry that you don't have the usual "searching for drivers" routine. Just play some music. If need be, check that the output is correct under 'Sound Settings' as I described above.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with windows 11?**
A: Yes.  I'm using this with my Windows 11 PC.  Pretty much plugged it in to a USB port and started using it.

**Q: Where the hell is my toslink output? This has a hole with a screw in the middle.**
A: You pull real hard on those plugs and they'll come out, revealing the plugs you're looking for.

**Q: Want to use with a audio mixer (pyle pbxu43bt) will this send the pc audio back through the mic input?**
A: Only if you enable the listen to device option withing Windows to playback the mic input through the audio output.

**Q: at 1% volume, it is still quite loud. is there a fix? is mine defective? one other person posted this question, but the answer was not valid .**
A: The speakers you have attached to it should have a volume control of their own in addition to the volume built into your source device(presumably a computer).

If that doesn't work, try adjusting the levels. In windows, go to Control Panel --> Sounds. Locate the device, double-click on it, then go to "Levels". This should give you an additional point of finer control

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with the netflix app / Win 11
*by S***R on June 21, 2023*

I had to search online for a driver made for Win 10. The company that makes the device doesn't have the drivers, just a PDF of the manual, which I used to get a more technical name for the device so I could find a driver and some software from a 3rd party. The software is good for individually adjusting speaker volume, which is handy for a homemade surround sound system. So far I have only gotten it to work with the Netflix app. Not the browser Netflix, not Amazon app or browser, nor HBO. I haven't tried any other major streaming services yet. I have not tried it for input. It wasn't too expensive, so I have no serious regrets.
