Pros: I'm using this to get audio for my Linux installation, since my pci-e card is not supported. This usb one, of course, works great. from Newegg.com Pros: Plug-n-play worked fine on MacBook Pro running Vista 64bit; Includes a USB extension cable which is a must have. Cons: Feels a bit flimsy Other Thoughts: Bought this because the MacBook Pro does not support an amplified mic input when running Vista 64bit in boot camp. from Newegg.com Pros: works on arrival, easy to set up Cons: max volume is quite low Other Thoughts: usb is bulky(blocks my spare lan port) and droops due to lopsided weight (you might want to buy another model with a short usb cable so that you can avoid this by just setting the card on the ground or on the computer) from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap. Cons: A little bulky, and sticks out kinda far from the usb slot. Probably not really much that can be done about that however, just due to the nature of the device. from Newegg.com Pros: Small, shipping and Handling was excellent. Price is great if you need a Mic input Cons: This is not a Line in/Out device as advertised on this page but a Mic input and headphone output device. If you connect another device's Line output to this unit's "Line in", you are going to get lots of sound/audio distortion due to the impedance mismatch. Other Thoughts: If you need Lie input/output for your laptop you need to look for something else. from Newegg.com This product was very easy to install and use on my iBook that did not have a audio input. I am back in business and can finish recording my music from my microphone. from Amazon.com I just got this device, because my mac's output port is distorting a little, and thought a good idea to just have a passive USB audio card too bypass the native port. What i heard one connected just startled me: What a horrible piece of gear! from Amazon.com Pros: Used on an aging system not designed for vista; no chipset drivers available so this is an excellent alternative if you have a non-functional onboard sound chip, no vista drivers or limted expansion card capability (like laptops). Cons: Not sure if this is a problem with the device or my system but sometimes the audio output can become choppy. Uninstalling and reinstalling digital driver seemed to help cure it. from Newegg.com Pros: Wow, great price and good sound quality (yes, plenty of output volume), works for Macintosh / Hackintosh OS X 10.5 (Leopard)!! Macintosh / Hackintosh users need go to their Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound -> Output tab -> then choose C-Media USB Headphone Set. Cons: Device's shape may require you use the included USB extension in order to physically connect to your USB port ... from Newegg.com This USB SOUND works fine when it works , but if don't, you get a pain in the..... because sometimes windows vista doesn't recognize the USB device and sometimes a message error appears: Cmsnxeye stop working...... from Amazon.com
