Application: I need a cheap sound card as a replacement for a faulty onboard sound (motherboard but otherwise fine). The users of PCs affected only needs some sound to play some Youtube clips or even play an MP3 sound without major claim. Unwrapped, plugged (Win 7 64bit): after a few seconds the USB card is recognized without driver installation and can be used, what more could you want? The sound is sufficient as described above. Since the USB-stick sound on the PC case's inside back, you will not run the risk that you bend it. If you use it on a laptop, I would advise you not to come too close to him, because widen the two housing halves but easy when you turn comes. From my perspective, I stay because of the low purchase price and the ease of installation with 5 stars and would recommend the device easily as a simple replacement soundcard.
