T10 External Sound Card, PHOINIKAS USB Audio Adapter for PC Windows, Mac, Linux, Laptops, Desktops, Stereo Sound Card with 3.5mm Interface & USB Interface, Volume Control, Plug & Play (6-in-1, Black)

Works as it's supposed to, wish I had bought this before buying different cables to hook up my external speakers. Turned out my computer's headphone jack doesn't work.

I have an HP Envy x360 laptop computer. It was working fine until AVG Updater installed an audio update. After the update the sound card no longer worked. AVG couldn't restore it, HP couldn't either and the computer was indicating that the sound card was no longer recognized and wasn't working. The drivers were reinstalled repeatedly. The sound card is part of the mother board so the computer which worked fine but no audio was headed for the trash. I tried to find a sound card replacement on Amazon. there were none. I stumbled on this device and bought it. Plugged it into a USB port and it immediately worked! I use 3.5mm earbuds and the sound is perfect! A speaker would probably need to be attached the same way and would sound light years better than the computer speakers anyway. I can't recommend this enough! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I bought this device to replace the microphone input on my laptop (which was horrible and had a lot of background noise).The PHOINIKAS External Sound Card worked for a while, and during this time it worked well -- it had good audio quality and the volume control knob (with illuminated level indicator) was excellent.However, the headline reads "Product seems to be cheaply made".After using the sound card for around a few hours (maybe 1 or 2) it started to crackle and distort -- all that I was doing at the time was playing sound through the headphones and using a microphone inputLike I said, it sounded good and worked well up until this point.After rebooting the system to ensure it was not the operating system / sound service -- the device generated a lot of usb-related errors and was no longer recognized by the system.Other reports/reviews list audio crackle as an issue -- so I suspect that my issue was not a one-off error.Since the problem was related to the failure of the device's usb circuit/component -- my recommendation to the seller (and manufacturer ZhongTian DingSheng) is that they need to include the proper component-level protections to ensure that normal usage will not cause damage to the unit (e.g. protect against transients, voltage spikes, etc).

I've been using a Schiit Audio Fulla mini DAC with volume control with my laptop driving a pair of 1 by One 2-way powered speakers via headphone out. The Schiit died after 3 years so I replaced it with this. Yeah, I know the Schiit is $100+ more than the PHOINIKAS. This review is only for people like me who thought I could get by with a cheaper desktop DAC solution.The PHOINIKAS was easy to use, Windows 10 recognized it immediately and I was playing music in 15 seconds. Amazing features given the price. The sound is a huge step down from the Schiit Fulla:- It has roughly 10dB lower volume gain than the Schiit- It's not a clear and clean audiophile sound like the Schiit.- The bass is present but not well defined. It drops off below about 50 Hz and sounds like it's boosted in teh 100 Hz range.- The midrange is a bit recessed and not clear. This makes the upper bass sound overly resonant and boomy.- The treble is muffled. There is no "sparkle". Hi hats are lost in the mix.- The dynamic range sounds flat and not engaging.- The sound with the PHOINIKAS is much more coarse than the Schiit with significant digital "hash."- Essentially, the sound difference between the PHOINIKAS ($13) and the Schiit ($120) reminds me of the difference between the stock stereo system in my Subaru vs when I upgraded the speakers to some proper audiophile ones.Overall the PHOINIKAS is a great product for the money but the sound quality is no more than what you'd expect for the price.

I had a soundcard mounted on my motherboard using Realtek drivers; something becoming more common on newer computer systems. Failed after sixteen months and my system had no sound. Dell said only way to get sound back was ship system back, they would put in a refurbished motherboard and send desktop back to me at my own expense to the tune of a couple thousand. The motherboard would have 90 day warranty. Right!!!I bought this external sound card at a cost of one percent of what Dell wanted me to pay and restored my sound problems using this component. Good quality and simple fix by anyone who has little tech savy.

Great product! I like the multiple ports for other devices. Sound quality is good . All for a low price.
