Review on External sound card BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC22 by Asahi Sato ᠌

In principle, if there is not a lot of money, if you are ready to spend your time in order to understand how to set it up on a computer, so that everything works as intended and do not expect something huge from it, then it is for you . Personally, I got along with her very well. I spent a lot of time downloading drivers, scouring sites and forums, well, just a huge amount of time. And this is all in order to understand that the standard firewood from Windows behaves more adequately with it than other drivers and it's just for me, it's not a fact that they will work for you at least somehow, but those drivers that you download , will give you either nothing or end your suffering and eternal search for a solution to the problem. I will say this - in any case, you will try to do something with it, because taking it for the tasks that you will set for it, with a hundred percent probability, the card will not perform normally ! Recording from a condenser microphone - it phonates or the signal does not go to the computer. Listen to music in headphones - it can give you so many clips and glitches that you just go nuts. I don’t know how she behaves with monitors, so I won’t say anything. I can give you a couple of tips: 1. If the microphone is noisy - reduce the gain on the computer itself, there will be less noise. 2. I advise everyone to try to install drivers if something does not work, but it is not a fact that they will help. 3. If everything works on the drivers that Windows finds for you, don't waste your time, let it work better than spend a lot of time and come to standard Windows drivers. 4. If you have already decided to install drivers, then I advise you to experiment and throw Asio4all in parallel. To sum it up, for her money she can provide a base for recording instruments, waka, listening to music, etc. and she simply has no alternatives for this money, except for used ones. But! As far as I know, behringer u-phoria um2 is the same card, only in a different version, I can’t say for sure, but it seems to be better to take that card, save money.
