LINDY USB 2.0 to Audio Adapter

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > External Sound Cards
from: LINDY


I bought this sound card as my new HP pavilion laptop seems to have a terrible microphone. No matter what i tried (including plugging an external mic into the laptop) It was either to quiet or it distorted. After trying the stores demo model with the same results i wondered if an external soundcard would fix my issue.

This Lindy audio adapter was so cheap it was worth a try and I thought if it solves the issue i'll then look for decent sound card later (no point spending out on an expensive one for an experiment i thought)

But the Lindy does all i need and the sound from the microphone and the headphones it perfect so i have decided to stick with this now.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1

June 03, 2008
Bought this last week, arrived 4 days after by royal mail. I am running Vista on my laptop with this kit. Initially I had a little problem how to set it up, but I followed the install CD, updated all the software online and then disabled my on board speaker output. The sounds is good from all of my speakers. Definitely worth the money!!

One thing is that the remote only works with the Creative Entertainment centre (which is like the Windows Vista one), (functions like play pause next etc) except volume up and down, mute, crystalliser and the 3d setting which i dont know really how its works.

TRUST SC-5500P 5.1 EXTERNAL SURROUND SOUND CARD

I generally agree with ShineBella - the instructions are all wrong, check the internet. Apart from that, there were no set up problems, The driver included is quite good too. In fact, when it wants to work the sound card works well too, but at roughly £20 it is just a cheap sound card and I'm not the only one to complain here of a crackling which kicks in after a couple of hours of the sound card being in operation. Up to this point it sounds nice, but once the crackling starts all other sound is drowned out and you need to restart the computer to regain sound which is very annoying if watching a film. My verdict? Low price, low quality - a waste of money. Don't be stingy, pay the extra £15 for a Creative sound card that won't die on you.

I can hear audio through it with a high pitched whine and a click and a crackle. Microphone sounds are so low as to be inaudible. 99p with £5 P+P so they do not have to refund more then 99p to poeple unlucky enough to buy it.

FreeLogix - USB 2.0 3D Sound Card with 5.1 Support

Childrens Toy Shop > Electronics > External Sound Cards
from: FreeLogix


I bought the 2.1 version (for about £3 all in!) which no longer seems to be on sale. The sound quality through my 2.1 external speakers is at least as good as I got through my Creative system (Over £40). The speakers are externally powered, apparently these things heat up and melt if you're using unpowered speakers through it. True plug and play, cheap, good sound, weighs about 100g, and its tiny. What more do you want from a sound card?
