NEW RANKING: • What's the Best USB So...
WARNING: I no longer recommend using a USB soundcard to connect a microphone to your computer. It has become too unreliable due to manufacturers altering the components used in their products as well as alterations to operating systems causing additional problems. The only method of connecting a microphone to your computer that I recommend is with a USB AUDIO INTERFACE that is designed specifically for that use case.
Here's my Ranking of the Soundcards:
(DON'T BUY) Sabrent Stereo: amzn.to/1Ikwqt5 (Here's why: • SABRENT USB SOUNDCARD ... )
(DON'T BUY) Sabrent 7.1: amzn.to/1IkwtVI
HDE 7.1: amzn.to/1Ikww3H
Virtual 5.1: amzn.to/1T8qZ64
Gino Stereo: amzn.to/1IkwCIQ
Gino 7.1: amzn.to/1T8r21R

Cheap USB audio adapters can be surprisingly good because the 5V rail is often a cleaner source of power than the 12v rail that motherboard audio or the soundcard on the computer.

@eucalyptux 7 лет назад

The USB standard will always deliver 5V so its pretty irrelevent. The amperage/wattage can be interesting to monitor but again not really in this case for consomptions that low

@luoyisishimisi470 8 лет назад

By the way, I'm so glad I ran across this. I was looking at these sound cards earlier today. I saw a few videos, but they were not as detailed with comparisons.

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

+Luoyisi Shimisi I have another video coming soon where I up the number of adapters to 11...and will be measuring the voltage output of each of the adapters which will be useful to know why the mics don't sound as good on them.

@luoyisishimisi470 8 лет назад

I'm planning on tuning in for that one. These little devices are pretty reasonable.

@glasserallen 7 лет назад

Finally someone made a video review on these, im been very curious about for sometime, Thank you great video.

@mikeepuckett6550 7 лет назад

how is your mic really really quiet??! i mean how is there no self noise or hiss? I've got a bm 800 and i cant figure out how to get rid of the noise.

@emboar9889benchmarks 8 лет назад

Awesome! I was waiting for this! I got the 7.1 cheap thing but i think i'll upgrade to the Sabrent. Sounds way better.

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

+emboar9889 Awesome choice! I literally just got lucky...I went on amazon and picked a highly rated one a few months ago...just turns out it's a great one. LUCKY LUCKY ME! =)

@dnamusic8275 2 года назад

Nice review. You saved me from buying the one you said unusable. Thank you. The only thing I wanted was a little bit amplified audio recording. Otherwise with a logitech headset, I record a lear sound just by connecting it to my laptop. What I need is a USB sound card with a bit of gain.

@denismth 2 года назад

That is exactly what I needed. The Logitech H 111 mic I bought from Aliexpress records clear sound. I just needed a preamp that will increase the volume just a bit. I don't think this sound card increases gain.

@thebagonline2113 2 года назад

I use to use the Sabrent, and had no problems whatsoever, I recently got a replacement BM-800 mic and for whatever reason my Sabrent adapter doesn't wanna work with this new mic I got. My headphones only get audio on one side now. 🤔

@RaukGorth 8 лет назад

Hey, I got a BM 800. It was very quiet when pluged in directly to my PC, so I got a Sabrent Stereo adapter, as per your videos. There was no difference in sound levels, but noise was slightly lower. The mic was very quiet at 100%, I needed to shout directly to the microphone to get any sound. I recommend for BM 800 to get an actual 48V phantom power. With phantom power I finally got this mic to work.

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

+RaukGorth Did you get the phantom power supply? What USB adapter did you get?

@retrojkt2970 8 лет назад

I've had the sabrent sound card for a few months and I'm glad to know it is better than others.

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

+Retro JKT In all honesty, when I bought all these adapters, I was expecting them to all be the same. I had no idea the internal workings of each adapter would make such a HUGE difference between the audio quality. I got lucky buying the Sabrent first. =)

@retrojkt2970 8 лет назад

+Podcastage same with me, I even got the silver edition cause... why not haha

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

Retro JKT Is that the metal body? I bet that feels nice and gives you a bit of added peace of mind that it is good build quality.

@retrojkt2970 8 лет назад

+Podcastage it real does, it is nice and strong and can take a bit of a beating. I recommend you pick one up if you can!

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

Retro JKT I will definitely spring for the metal one next time I need a new USB Adapter. Right now, the plastic is working fine, but then again, I'm not using this when I travel. I think the metal one would be great for traveling video makers / podcasters.

Can USB Soundcard / USB Audio Adapter fix Latency on Keystation/Midi Controller or Launchpad ? Thank u...

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

I don't think so, unless you're running audio out of the midi controllers.

@mangreat71 7 лет назад

i like to try out different things is the reason why I'm asking ?? If you put a dynamic mic in this would it turn up the mic volume ??? Like even if you use a portable phone charger instead of a computer would the phone charger and with this virtual sound card adapter would it work as a interface to cut the mic volume up with a sony voice recorder with a 3.5 male to male wire into the recorder with the sound card ?????????

@OfficialPial 3 года назад

Cannot get rid of Idle background noise Neewer nw700+Ugreen audio adapter or, nw700+ the last card you showed Whats the solution? Is this my hardware/motherboard issue? Previously using with laptop it was okay. But facing this in Desktop

@fulcrum6405 7 лет назад

Will the BM- 800 and the Virtual 5.1 Soundcard provide at least decent audio and volume for, let's say, RU-vid Voiceovers? And will the audio be better than a default built in microphone in a camera. (any camera)

@imark7777777 4 года назад

5V from USB to card not mic! The microphone jack will be outputting plug-in power which is 3-4v bias voltage. Which can differ from device. And this is something totally different than phantom power which is 48 V and should only ever be on an XLR connector.

@zakaria_chana 6 лет назад

Do these rely on the sound card of the computer or are they actual sound cards of their own ? I mean if the integrated sound card of a laptop is faulty, will I get sound with one of these little USB adapters ?

@HalkerVeil 8 лет назад

Why does your link say (DON'T BUY) on your favorite adapters now? Did something change? Or did you misplace that and meant it for the other adapters?

@Podcastage 8 лет назад

@HalkerVeil 8 лет назад

Podcastage Ah thanks. Interesting. I just ordered a few anyway. But my situation might not need the same power level. I won't have a mic hooked straight up to it. Actually using a VT3 Transformer for the mic, then porting that into my laptop on usb for software, VST Host effects. And back out of the laptop audio on one of these usb adapters and into my pc with a second adapter. Only need them to clean the line noise up. Because apparently going from the laptop speaker out 3.5mm to the PC's Line-In causes major feedback issues. I just hope it still has the same tone. But for the price it's worth a shot.

@SonicJowii 8 лет назад
