This is an overview of the StarTech.com 7.1 USB Audio Adapter External Sound Card with SPDIF Digital Audio Sound Cards ICUSBAUDIO7D. from TOSLINK and output it to my speakers and headphones. I figured I could use this to not only replace the horrible onboard sound in my laptops, but also transfer data from the PS4 to my laptop. Lenovo ThinkPad T520. A real-time core with a pulsing audio jack running in the background. I'm getting 1 xrun about every 10-15 minutes, but that's most likely due to my laptop using generic IRQs everywhere. No matter what I do, I don't get 0 xruns. Given that I purchased this card on September 16, 2016 and as of this updated review is now July 25, 2018, the card is still working with no issues. For a roughly $30 USB stick that comes out of the box with no setup required, this was a real godsend.
