UPDATE (2017-06-16): It seems that the problem was not with the microphone connector / sound card. I used a professional mic with a 10ft cable with a TRS connector, as I was working to consolidate usable desk space I ordered a smaller mic that took up a small fraction of the space (e.g. size of a Bullet). Orange). I connected and everything works. I even tested with my headset and it worked fine too. My friends disagree that it sounds cleaner than my old card. Proven bit rate and sound quality: both passed with flying colours. Kubuntu 16.04 x64 Linux Kernel 4.8.0-XI bought it because it claimed Linux support and has Linux support. I would also like to thank Kelsey from the Ugreen customer service team, they sent an email willing to exchange the unit as defective with no questions asked (as long as I used the correct TRS mic jack). ----Original Post---this is exactly what I was looking for to minimize things hanging off my computer. I'm using Linux and the sound card works great. I can't use the microphone on Ubuntu 16. 04 doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure the port is bad or it's a driver issue. Everything is recognized, but I have no audio input. For the price it's not a big loss for me but I'm really disappointed. I will continue to use it as it is still a USB 3.0 hub. I'll come back and update the review when I can figure out how to get the mic port working.
