- Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseI have an ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING motherboard, and recently the mic port stopped working. I was considering spending $60 on a new sound card, but decided to try this Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter instead, and I’m glad I did.
Plugged it in, connected my HyperX Cloud Alpha headset, and the mic worked right away. I tested it, and the audio comes in crystal clear with zero issues.
I’ve used other Sabrent products in the past, and they’ve always been reliable. This one is no different. Simple, effective, and a great value. Highly recommended if you're having onboard audio issues or just need a quick fix that works.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseThis was the single best, most cost-efficient item I have purchased in a long time. I thought I would have to take my computer to a computer repair shop in town, buy a new sound card and pay them to put it in. Instead an IT guy from work suggested trying a USB sound device and see if it worked. Well, it worked perfectly! For $12 or so it fixed my problem. It probably saved me around $100 to $200 it would have cost taking it elsewhere.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseThe onboard audio stopped working on my motherboard so I got this USB adapter and it was plug and play worked right out of the box all I had to do was plug it into my USB port and I once again had audio ports that worked without having to buy a new motherboard. Highly suggest for anyone who may have the same issue or if your PC just doesn't have standard mic/headphone ports
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2025Style: USB-CVerified PurchaseThis would be perfect it it were not for bad marketing...
CM3271 chip-set only has the capability of handling one channel for the microphone. So ...MONO MIC ONLY...
They advertise that the recording jack is also 3 pole TRS, which it is not, the recording jack is in fact 2 pole TRS.
So hopefully that helps someone?
- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseThe Sabrent USB External Stereo Sound Adapter (AU-MMSA) is a compact and budget-friendly device that offers a straightforward solution for adding audio input and output capabilities to computers lacking a built-in sound card or with malfunctioning audio ports.

In terms of performance, the adapter delivers satisfactory audio quality suitable for everyday tasks such as video conferencing, voice calls, and casual music listening.

Pros:

Compatible with multiple operating systems.
Compact and portable design.
Affordable price point.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2025Style: USB-CVerified PurchaseMy 2024 M4 iMac loves it! My boombox style speakers are at full power and crystal clear! The cables are just right, not too long. These plugs are very well built, and installing them and the headphone jack worked as designed. I needed to do nothing to get my iMac to accept them or my speakers. Along with these jacks, Boom 3D, and my speakers, this hose rocks!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseImprovement over analog line input, but in using it was also able to determine source of noise/interference is directly related to cable routing.
Definitely a must have for those who do not have analog I/O on their devices.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2025Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseGood solution when the Motherboard jack is not working anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, pas cher et efficace !
Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseReçu avec un jour d'avance, ce petit appareil fait bien le taf !!! Voir même très bien.
Acheté en désespoir de cause pour pallier le "tchik-tchik" récurrent de la carte son d'un mini-PC neuf,
plus un seul bruit parasite !
Reconnu instantanément et facile à mettre œuvre !!
Comme quoi, il faudrait être fou pour payer plus cher !!

4.0 out of 5 stars kısa süreli
Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseBence bu ürün kısa süreli. Eğer laptop kullanıyorsanız kesinlikle almayın. Çünkü diğer usb girişini net kapatıyor ve bence bu çok kötü.
Bir süre sonra zaten kendiliğinden usb girişi yamulduğu için kullanmayı bıraktım ama baya götürdü.

5.0 out of 5 stars Für ein paar Euronen eine deutliche Verbesserung 👍
Style: USB- AVerified PurchaseIch habe inzwischen 3 davon in Benutzung in bin voll und ganz zufrieden damit.
Man kann für wenig Geld analoge Headsets in USB Headsets umwandeln und hat ohne was einstellen zu müssen eine deutlich sauberere Klangwiedergabe/Mikrofonqualität.
