I would NOT recommend this product.

Got this around 2016 for ~30$. The UMC22 does not have drivers supported by the company. The drivers are now depreciated and Behringer recommends using the generic ASIO4ALL driver. Some people do not like using ASIO4ALL, so it is up to personal preference.

On YouTube, there is a guide to try using an old Behringer driver for the UMC22 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRmnDkS3Wzo [youtube.com]). I could NOT get it to work however. Looking at the driver installation files, the driver set-up expects a USB device with certain PID and VID which my device did not have. Everytime, the set-up would fail not matter what I did (I even reinstalled Windows 7 AND 10). Some in the comments say that it worked for them. Because of this, I expect using this fix is a GAMBLE and not certain.

I currently use this device for Rocksmith 2014 so ASIO4ALL is not a bother.

Converts XLR microphone output to USB for recording on a computer. Also allows for zero-latency monitoring/listening to the microphone
·
This performs pretty similarly to the Scarlett Solo that everyone raves about without the Air mode. You get Air mode, better build quality and better drivers with the Scarlett but it's also over double the price.

I bought my little cousin one of these last year for his streaming setup paired with a Rode Podmic and it sounds great

I paired this with a SAMSON Q2U mic for twitch streaming during my PC gaming days. I was surprised at how many times gamers I played with commented on how good the audio sounded.

I'm looking for something like this for recording but I also need a headphone amp as well.
My computer sound card is not cutting it. I bought this guy from a deal on here:
Going to depend on what kind of headphones you have, and their Ohm rating. From a few posts up, you could go with the Scarlet for around $100 or for a better quality headphone amp for higher Ohm headphones, the Audient iD4 MKII for $200. Realize that is a large cost compared to the cost of your PC but these interfaces are doing a bunch of things, and actually pretty cheap compared to studio gear you would have needed 30 years ago.

Bought 3 of these at Sweetwater this time last year for $19 each.
Are you sure it wasn't the UM2 (knobs on top)?

Quote from jrm523 :
I recently purchased this cheaper. Amazon can pretend that 40% off is a great deal but they raised the price over 40% before doing so. I'm about to go to bed but highly recommend that you check a price history site before falling for this pricing scheme.
How much cheaper? Triple Camel says this is the lowest in 5 years, but it may not have captured your price.

Quote from Shake-N-Bake :
It's definitely better to buy the Scarlett than it is to spend money on this, and then realize months later that you should have bought the Scarlett and now have to spend even more to get that. If you get the better thing to begin with, then you'll be set and actually save money (unless you really just don't use this and decide you don't need any interface). I've known several people who got a lower-end interface like this and then decided they should've just started with the Scarlett. It's easily worth the extra money.

For anyone wondering about the Scarlett, here it is. https://a.co/d/esgHdm9
P much agree with this especially given the specs, but this is good for entry-level and depending on your needs. Some good comparison charts: https://www.reddit.com/r/Logic_St...ic_inputs/

Would this be good for plugging in some jbl 308s? Currently just plan to use them as speakers for jamming. Or can I just plug speakers directly to pc?

Could this be used for karaoke? Trying to figure out something simple and cheap for new years
Yes for one singer on a computer. You don't need this if you have a USB microphone but with this you can sound louder and an XLR connection is much more durable. I love this box it is simple and sounds great. Does not use external power - runs entirely off a computer's USB port so less cables and temperatures stay low. You can get an XLR cable for $10, a dynamic microphone for $60 - $100. I recommend Samson Q2U or Audio Technica AT2500. Do not sing with a condenser microphone because it will pick up all the background noise. I sing karaoke on Smule (it's freemium app) on a Bluestacks emulator. Sometimes sing live to friends in Discord with YouTube.

What does "depreciated" mean in this context? Was it a typo of "deprecated", or maybe a malapropism of "obsolete"?

Or, did you literally mean depreciated, as in losing value over time, so that the "now" doesn't make sense.

I understand the main point (the drivers are shit), but I'm trying to figure out why.

My mics for zoom are horrendous and I'm wondering if it's overkill to use an interface+ condenser. Any thoughts?

This is a "prosumer" device, so it's intended to be a step up from your computer's soundcard, but not of the quality a studio would have (neither the mic pres nor the interface). It can be used for multitrack recording, so you can isolate two instruments, add effects, mix them, etc. It can also provide 48v phantom power to mics that need it, and I believe this model has built in mic pres. It's a great bang-for-your-buck device for someone like a singer-songwriter who only needs 2 XLR inputs (eg: vocal mic & acoustic guitar) or even musicians collaborating on a project remotely that only need to track their instrument.

better than nothing but anything else is better

spring for a $100 Scarlett Solo instead (3rd gen preferably)

or if you can up your budget from there, really anything from Focusrite, Audient, UAD, Motu, SSL, Arturia in the sub-$250 range is going to take you much farther in a home studio for your money than this Behringer interface

I bought the UMC202HD (better model, higher sampling rate, etc.) for about $40-$45 a couple years ago...use it with Linux, mainly as a headphone out and also main sound card driving a pair of Edifier S2000Pro's and a 12" subwoofer.

The audio quality is fine, the audio in is fine, and it works out of the box with Linux. The main reason I use this instead of my PC's sound card is the physical knobs (separate outs for headphones and speakers). Very very handy, I hate fiddling with digital audio sliders when you're in the middle of doing something else.

I also have discerning ears.

Any particular benefits to going for scarlett? If using a dynamic mic, both these interfaces are far too weak to drive them at a desired listening level

I doubt your sound card will take that fat 1/4" TRS cable. Can plug in diff equipment, e.g.: guitar.
