StarTech.com ICUSBAUDIOMH - USB to Audio Converter DAC SPDIF Sound Card with Microphone

Add a 3.5mm audio connection with SPDIF digital output and an external microphone to your system through USB. The ICUSBAUDIOMH External USB Card lets you add an S/PDIF digital audio output or a standard 3.5mm analog audio connection to your system through USB.

The USB DAC (digital-to-analog converter) provides a built-in microphone allowing you to add audio recording capability to your system without the need for additional hardware. This integrated microphone can also be placed further away from your computer's speakers reducing or eliminating feedback that is often problematic with laptops that utilize an on-board microphone.

By implementing 3.5mm stereo microphone connection the USB audio adapter equips you with the ability to attach an external stereo microphone as needed.

For added versatility this USB-powered sound adapter features a 15in attached USB cable volume control mute and microphone mute buttons for quick adjustments a 3.5mm stereo microphone input and a convenient LED status bar to display the current sampling rate.
