Cubilux 7.1 USB Surround Sound Card- 48KHz-384KHz Sample Rate for Headphones, Full Aluminum Alloy USB A External Sound Card for Laptop PC-Supports Line-in & Stereo Mic in

Purchased this as my new motherboard did not have 5.1 surround sound. Worked great with my Windows 11 build and I now have 5.1 Surround sound. There were no drivers that I had to install. It was pure Plug and Play. As a reminder, Windows 11 defaults to Stereo for new sound devices. Make sure you go into "CONTROL PANEL" => "SOUND" in Windows to configure your device speakers (Stereo -default-, quadraphonic, surround, 5.1 surround (side surround speakers), 5.1 Surround (rear surround speakers), 7.1 Surround). I have no problems recommending this USB Sound Card for anyone needing to up their audio game.

Wonderful sound, easy to install

I upgraded to this and I like it ....... I use it for Haptic Shakers on a Sim Racing Rig easy to set up and works just perfect

The build quality was surprisingly high for $30. It's solid, has rubber grips on the bottom, and looks rather nice! The 7.1 surround sound is a game changer across the board, watching videos, playing fps, playing casual games, and music are all enhanced!

Bought it December 28th and the front channels died today, February 20th.Again, should have spent more money, so really blame myself more than anything.

Initially I had issues with setup. Customer service was very good and response was prompt. In the end I sorted out the issue myself. On a MacBook, you choose the Cubilux CA7 from sounds. After that you go to launchpad to look for the app Audio MIDI or you can find the Audio MIDI app in finder-applications-utilities.Open the Audio MIDI app and choose 6 channels if you have a 6 channel surround.I wish that Cubilux made a video or have instructions for setup.Now for the product review. For music, I was very surprised and very impressed. The DAC is really good. Using the 5.1 surround, the music had a better sound stage with clearer separation of instruments and vocals. Very detailed sound. My sound system is an old dell system but it still sounded so good, I cannot imagine how good it would sound with a proper hifi system.I have yet to try it out with a game but I expect good things.

I just purchased this so that I can have one set of surround sound speakers (5.1) support two computers through a KVM switch via the USB ports. Trying to find a switch selector for three 3.5mm jacks is virtually impossible. Switching to an external USB sound card seemed to be the best solution. This seems to be working correctly on a Windows 10 machine (presume it will also work on Windows 11). There are more than I prefer to see poor reviews (1 and 2) on this product that caused me concern. I still have my concerns, but this is basically working. My main concern is that I have a low hum on my sub-woofer that I did not have prior to changing to this setup. I have been able to remove some of it by reducing the volume on the sub-woofer but I believe I still hear it. I don't know if this has caused the need for a ground loop isolator on the center/sub-woofer 3.5mm (where the problem seems to be) or if I will be able to remove it by other means. I will give this review higher stars if I can confirm the low frequency hum can be eliminated.

Plug it in, tell windows how many speakers you have, and it just works. why have these been so hard to find such that I just now have had the ability to order one?
