Review on 🎧 Enhance Audio Experience with 7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter by Badazz Webb

Just received in the mail. Pros: Inexpensive and fast. Cons: I bought this to replace the built in Realtek/SoundMax hoping I could get some more volume. of it for my headphones. Well, I didn't get more volume. This is the same level as my onboard card, but with worse sound quality. Lots of highs and almost no bass. Enabling Base Boost or some other buff makes things worse. The volume and mute buttons on it are not hardware control buttons. You just control windows volume/mute as if you were using the keyboard, making it completely useless as I already have a volume control on the keyboard. The green LED is always lit when there is a connection. However, when you play a sound, it will start flashing while the sound is playing. It's like it's a modem receiving packets. No, it's not in sync with the music. It only blinks twice a second. Super annoying. Stopping the sound does not stop flashing for another 10 seconds. Windows 10 automatically installed the driver when connected. I tried to install my own driver but it kept asking me to plug in the USB stick. Even removing the default driver doesn't help. It ends up in a box full of useless junk. I will only use it for parts.
