Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best-selling in Sound Cards (External)
I bought this to use for connecting my Raspberry Pi to my amp and speakers. The on-board audio jack for the Pi gives a lot of interference, so I needed something to replace it. This is perfect, and a really good price. Just plugged straight into my Pi, and selected the correct output from Kodo's audio menu and it worked straight out of the box. Sound is sharp and clear and much better than I expected for 2 quid! Although the ad does state there's an LED, what it doesn't state is that the WHOLE unit constantly flashes red the entire time you use the thing! Very distracting when watching a film! Cable is too short to hide it behind the TV so I had to cocoon the unit in black electrical tape. Not ideal, but it will do. Overall a very good cheap purchase but they'd be better off with just a small LED indicator to show it's working.Read full review

ID 0d8c : 013c C-Media Electronics, Inc. CM108 Audio Controller The output sound is very good. For input sound not so good, distorted on u s b 2.0, i read that on u s b 1.1 no more problems on output, so i m h o at input but don't want u s b 1.1 because I have swap on u s b. Needs a 3.9 ohm resistor on power wire to work better on a hub (works at maximum second u s b connect). Disconnect red wire from board, connect resistor in it's place, connect wire to resistor. Without the resistor works only after about 10 to 20 u s b connects. To see when it connects I use: j o u r n a l c t l - k b or: watch 'dmesg | tail -25' And something like this: unable to enumerate USB device b) Connected, it can be used: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio And then I press CTRL+C to close the log. I use it on a Raspberry Pi 2. Does not connect to Pi's USB ports at all, but accepts external powered USB hub or Monitor USB hub. Good when enabling Open Source OpenGL as HDMI sound stops working without the blob.Read full review

Happy to say that this little bit of kit works. My sound card wasn't recognised in the upgrade from xp to win 7. This USB sound card emulator works.
