GINTOOYUN USB to Optical Audio Adapter - USB A to Fiber Optic SPDIF Port Connection - 2M/6.5FT Jack Audio Converter Cable for Computer and Laptop

I’ve tried two other audio adapters recently but the audio kept cutting out rendering them useless. I bought this and it works perfectly (so far). seems to be well made, certainly more robust than the others.

Excellent bit of kit. A little care will always be needed when inserting the optical end. But - fine result when it's done.

I took a bit of a punt on this as I upgraded my computer but lots of new motherboard do not come with spdif out so I wanted a simply solution that would fit into my current sound set-up. The most important information imo is missing from the description which is sample rate and bit-depth so I have included a screen shot. As you can see it's only 16-bit and that's why I have knocked a star off as in this day and age I expected 24-bit. It does however work absolutely fine, it was auto detected by windows 10 and there's no software to install.

So I've been using my laptop connected to a Panasonic Soundslayer soundbar via Bluetooth for a while which sounds great, except for when I get sound drops and glitches which begun to get annoying as the Bluetooth connectivity would just flake out.I noticed the soundbar had an optical in port, so I looked for a USB to Optical Out cable. I got this off the back of some good comments and can confirm this does exactly what it sets out to do. No drivers are required, just plug in, and your speaker option will appear as "Speakers DAC" in your settings. Sound is great again with no sound drops at all so far!

Bought it to connect my ps5 to a headphone dac/amp. Unlike another piece of kit that I bought on Amazon previously, this one actually works with the PlayStation 5.

Works really well. I just got an amp with digital inputs but my PC tower doesn't have digital outs. This plugs into a USB on the tower and into the amp toslink input. Better sound from my computer than headphone jack to RCA.

Perfect just what I needed for my soundbar good quality

This device is sterea only, not surround as suggested in parts of the description. As a stern device its really easy to install under W11 and works well. But surround it is NOT.
