So, I bought one of these back in March 2012 and today (15th Dec) it broke. I have used it since then so it has survived 287 days (9 months 12 days). In its final moments I got a bit fed up of the plastic casing falling apart so I took it off completely and exposed the PCB. Eventually the solder to the USB connector snapped but I'm kind of to blame for that :P Anyway, this worked perfectly fine on Windows 7, Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 17. There is an annoying brief click/pop at startup when it powers up. The price is excellent and it's a great solution for someone who just busted their laptop (motherboard soldered) headphone line-out and can't go a day without audio.

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).

like many people, on my old lap top the headphone jack was the first thing to go. I previously purchased the dynamode version of this which is about half the price and wasn't impressed at all. I started looking for something better and saw some good reviews on this. While sceptical, at only an extra couple of quid it's still very cheap so I gave it a go.It plugs and plays and produces sound. On speakers there is a slight background hum, but nothing too annoying and you only notice it when the music isn't on, with headphones I had no problems. I've known many speakers that produce worse hum anyway, so that hum isn't enough to bother me. Sound quality otherwise all OK.

I was in two minds about ordering this device as several of the existing reviewers comment about the poor construction and way that the cover falls apart.This was to replace the on-board sound card on my PC which Linux doesn't love, so I figured I'd be safe. I'd plug it in and leave it attached 24x7 - so there should be little wear and tear.I plugged the device in, attached my speakers, and suddenly Debian Squeeze started to produce music. All is good. Quality seems fine, certainly no PSU-related hiss or similar.The only warning I'd add to the others is that the device is wide. If you have two USB-sockets close together then chances are you won't be able to fit it if you're using the other.

Arrived early as most Amazon orders seem to do.I could'nt get it to work at first (input was fine but output did not) and a replacement was issued by the trader within 24 hours of notification.It turned out that I had messed up the sound settings of my OS (kubuntu 11.04) and clearing the settings sorted it so it was nothing to do with the equipment so as both worked I have decided to keep them both - they're cheap enough.Very good sound quality for the money both input and output. Normally connecting the headphone socket of a low-end laptop to an external amp produces a lot of interference - I believe from the HDD.

Like most of the reviewers here, I had a little accident with my laptop's headphone socket making listening to music quite literally a balancing act. I was sceptical about how well this would work for such a low price, but it does the job very well indeed. I can't say I can really hear the '7.1 virtual surround' this is supposed to provide, but that is neither here nor there. If you have damaged your headphone socket on your PC or laptop then get one of these, it's exactly what you need.

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.

This product works great on my windows 7 laptop. I bought it cos I broke my integrated sound card, so this was the cheapest answer to my problem. I recommend this as it is easy to use and cheap!

Considering H.P.wanted £200 to replace the internal sound card on my PC, this is an excellent product, just a bit of crackling when I turn the machine on, but superb sound.

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.
