Pros & Cons
Pros
This does the trick and was easy to setup. It works great on both. I have yet to figure out how to set all that up with a raspberry pi3, but given enough time & youtube videos i may get that working too. It surpasses my expectation.
Cons
I'm quite displeased with both this device and the thoughtlessness of the company that developed it. This product is literally nothing. Basically its pacing is way off.
You have to unplug the usb connector and re-plug it in to make it work again. Getting a replacement out of amazone instead of a refund/re-order was more painful than anything to do with the sound card.
It's not a good idea to generalize and say that this piece is better than onboard sound because it isn't. When you buy it & discover thats only the playback spec and the input is only mono. The standard analog headphone/headset jacks are far super... Read More

Quality

Price

Works very well for the price, was genuinely surprised by its performance.
I've ordered a more expensive creative product (ok, it was only $10.
I remember having sound blaster cards in the 90s/00s, and although very few people buy sound cards today, i figured if i have b... Read More
Shipping
I bought this, it arrived, i plugged it in immediately, and all of my problems with audio had vanished.
Competitiveness
There's some ways in which it could be better: i'd prefer a replaceable cable, and i wish it was rated to a higher khz so i cou... Read More
However, i found that when i switched back to windows 7, it worked great on the same computer and speaker setup.

I remember having sound blaster cards in the 90s00s and although very few people buy sound cards today i figured if i have bw speakers for 17 what the heck lets just try it and return it if it sucks

When i first plugged it in there was notable improvement bass a little less muddled and higher clarity on the highend but youll have to play music loudly to hear it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I did expect the improvement to be higher so i was a bit disappointed but at 17 it was still worth keeping

After all sound dacs are pretty simple chips these days and even laptop docks will have what we considered highend dacs decades ago
