  • Does it work with the laptop's internal speaker? or do you need to plug in an external speaker?

    • No and yes respectively.

        No for the first one, yes for the second.

    But but, will I be able to tell the difference in sound quality from a virtual 5.1 sound card costing $1.24 (AUD at that) on eBay when it's all been squashed down to 2 channel earphones?

  • 2 channels can't be 7.1, complete bs. Even if it "simulates" surround sound, the .1 means sub woofer, how can that be "simulated"?

    • applying gain to lower frequencies?

      • Still doesn't create a dedicated bass channel, which is what .1 implies.

        • +2

          still don't understand what you're trying to get at… the other 5 channels are being emulated by phase shifts and reverbs, are you implying this magically creates extra 5 channels? you simulate a sub by boosting lower range frequencies… whats the difference?

          If anything, a sub is easier to emulate. Boosting eq is much much simpler than reverbs or complicated binaural algorithms.

        • Changing EQ doesn't create a dedicated channel for bass. Hence not .1. Simple.

        • You are forgetting the "virtual" part…. Simple

          Would you like to buy my virtual BMW for $1? It doesn't actually exist but if you imagine really hard it's almost the same.

      • blow a fart?

  • How can we verify that this gadget outputs 7.1 virtual channels as opposed to 5.1 virtual channels?

    • +1

      You can't. They could say 20.1, there's now way of confirming. Thus its probably just a regular 2.0 sound card.

  • Bloody hell, I shudder to think what kind of apocalyptically sh*t sound comes out of a one dollar and thirty cent sound card.

    Might as well buy two tin cans and tie a length of string to each one, then have one next to your ear and the other by a noisy window, to amplify ambient random noises.

      ive used them before, they cause your speaks to constantly emit a small whirring noise because of the electricity interaction of the USB slot and it seems there is nothing you can do about it. but still a bit better than no sound at all. good for non-computer savvies.

      • +1

        I've got a 5.1 in my PC and another in my hackintosh.
        both plugged into a yamaha surround sound amp (but only stereo speakers). have to say that neither emits any whirring. and the sound is pretty good.

        using it with headphones (Ross -an English brand) I find no problems with sound. clear and crisp.

      • Mine doesn't produce any whirring, but it does emit a little bit of 'bubbling' when the audio source ceases to play. Also the USB plug is really flimsy to the point of when pressing the mute buttons the PCB<>USB pins bend. Certainly not high quality stuff but is useful as a spare/intermediary tool.

        I think it works in a PS3 too.

      Fantastic actually. Though I haven't tried this one. I bought one to escape the horrors of onboard audio on a computer a few years ago (lots of noise and muddy sound). The USB sound card was a revelation of clarity and resolution compared to the onboard sound, which would make noises whenever you scrolled a web page and would never completely be in silence; digital blips and background noise could be heard constantly, even when nothing is playing.

      I haven't tried this one though, but I did try a very commonly available ebay jobbie that was semi-transparent in appearance and had no volume controls on the device itself. In other words, cheapest of the cheap and readily available. Great sound, believe it or not. And I am not a newbie to soundcards. If you buy one I'd recommend connecting it to a USB extension cable to avoid damage and to make disconnections and connections easier on computers with hard-to-reach USB.

        Must have been using some incredibly budget motherboards for that to occur and/or been getting some cable feedback; I have a few PCs with onboard Realtek ALC chipsets that sound fine, though obviously not as good as my main PC's Creative Sound Blaster ZxR.

        I think most PC users are set with onboard audio unless they've experienced the difference of a high-end dedicated soundcard and a good pair of speakers to match; then they know what they're missing out on.

          Lots of brand-name motherboards from a while back were like this…so it's nothing unusual. The onboard audio situation has improved a lot in recent years but it took a fair few years for that to happen.

        • They are actually pretty decent; the newer Realtek ALC889/ALC9xx I've found to be on-par with the old SB X-Fi from about 5 years ago.

          I tried hooking up some Z906s to a Realtek ALC889 via optical S/PDIF outputting to Dolby Digital Live and it sounded pretty damn good for a cheap & cheerful solution, and despite the fact DDL is a software-based compression routine.

          I could definitely see people getting accurate positional audio for things like gaming via their onboard audio's 5.1 output.

        • My asrock extreme 4 extreme still has static issues on the sound card :/

  • Has anybody seen these with digital (optical) out?
    I bought one many years ago but have not been able to find any such dongles since.

    • There's a bunch on eBay; I've seen them down to $15 posted. Search for USB Optical Audio.

      • yes, plenty of cards and boxes, but no small dongles.

  • I am pretty sure this would do the same thing as Razer Surround which is free and works with any soundcard at http://www.razerzone.com/au-en/surround
