Many newer PC motherboards come with an integrated audio solution. Some of these integrated audio choices work well and some leave a lot to be desired. However, there are still a few motherboards without integrated audio and some legacy boards may lack this feature as well. If this is the case, the folks at USBFever have a handy solution – the USB 2.0 5.1 Audio Adapter with Microphone Jack. This small USB device offers many features found in a PCI sized audio card. Included are stereo 5.1 sound effects, virtual speaker shifting, surround sound and more. Plus this USB dongle has a jack for both speaker/headphones and a microphone.

Now this product is marketed for Windows machines, but I will let everyone in on a little secret. It works on Macs as well.

Today we will look at this small audio dongle and see if its sound compares to more expensive solutions. Let’s get started….
