Replacement of sound cards for laptop

Property me this USB risen soundcard as the sound card in my laptop no longer wanted funktionierden properly.
At first I had a cheap sound card from another manufacturer. However, this did not provide the expected quality of me, however, was sufficient to bridge.

The Sound Blaster Play was then the correct replacement. And this has surprised me very positively.
+ Good sound quality
+ Various sound options
+ Works with Windows 8.1
+ Plug & Play (nothing had to be installed by me)
+ Volume is very good
+ Microphone quality is good (no noise)

Perfect solution for my needs. But if you want to use for example a 5.1 system you should use another sound card.
