7.1 Channel USB External Sound Card Audio Adapter @ Amazon for $1.58. Possibly $23.99 @ Newegg

These tend to fall apart. I know: I have had 3 of them. You should never pay more than $4 for this type.

thanks, i 4 4.

dealextream has lots of fun cheap stuff like this. Just remember you get what you pay for. Shipping takes a long time from china. Though what can you expect for free international shipping on such low priced items.

Rubber bands [amazon.com] $1.85 with FSSS for Prime.

These are nice to have around for troubleshooting or a quick fix. Good price for them. Like others have said would never pay +$4 for these. TU for the price

agreed!

I have one I use with my mini mac with busted audio. Works great. The cheaper ones without volume buttons suck. These sound as good as the audio in most laptops. $1.50 is about the standard price all the time.

can you guys just tell more how bad it is?
we are not interesting in reading 1 guy said it's bad, the other guys agreed.

I like these okay for temporary fixes and for a simple diagnostic toolbox. Just don't buy them for anything fancier than stereo sound and you probably won't be disappointed.

I have a couple that look just like these [amazon.com], and I agree, I'm not comfortable with them sticking out and potentially getting busted open. These did work to bypass faulty mobo sound for a couple years on a desktop and a laptop that I didn't feel like buying proper sound cards for, and I also keep 1 in my toolbox to help diagnose sound issues.

I have my doubts about the usefulness of anything beyond stereo sound on these though. They only have 1 stereo output jack after all, and anything fancier is probably being processed on your CPU via software before being fed to your stereo headphones or speakers.

you guys want something like this IMO
