usb sound cards?

[Somerandomtechyboi]

 

Basically im just looking for some cheap usb sound adapters incase i run into the annoying board with dead audio

 

Any diffs between these 3 and which ones the best? Theyre all <1$ since im probs gonna buy 5 or 10 of these

I'd go with the first one since all of them should be equally bad, but this one has controls.

Do you go through a lot of motherboards?

 

Honestly you can't trust anything that any one of them say's.  Unless you can find someone with hands on experience with any of them the ad's are meaningless.  You could potentially get all 3 and use that as a way to make reviews?

That's where I come in. I used the black one once while at a friend's house. If the only thing you want it to do is work, then I can confirm that it does in fact, work. It sounds a little scratchy sometimes, and the usb plug isn't the tightest, but if you only needed an audio jack, then get it. All of these should just have the same cheap build quality, so any of them will do.

they all generally 'work', but dont expect to be amazed by the quality.

Im dealing with over decade old boards here so not like onboard audio would be good anyways

 

dont expect amazing quality but something thats usable and cheap so when a board with no sound comes in i can just include a cheap usb so itll resell better. I fix alot of boards so yea i do come in to odd issues sometimes

Then I would get one of each and test them.  As long as they work sell them all then buy more of the best one.
