Cubilux 7.1 USB Surround Sound Card- 48KHz-384KHz Sample Rate for Headphones, Full Aluminum Alloy USB A External Sound Card for Laptop PC-Supports Line-in & Stereo Mic in

I use Logitech z906 surround speakers. Getting them working with the Nvidia Shield is a mixed bag, as some apps will transmit encoded surround over HDMI and others will use PCM or decode the media audio and then transmit PCM.Using the HDMI and an optical cable works fine for the former. But PCM audio is a little trickier.This works as an excellent way to get PCM or decoded surround sound out of the shield and into the speakers. Specifically for game streaming or for Plex or other players that decode the audio.I previously used another USB audio interface but the 9.2 shield update broke the functionality and would only play sound out of the front speakers. Probably because that audio interface was using an ancient chip.This worked right away with zero hassle. The shield immediately recognised it as an audio interface and when selected output surround sound perfect on the first try.

I was looking for a surround sound card to use with my M1 Macbook Air, and Brice Williams's review said that it worked fine with OSX. I can confirm this is true. I simply plugged it in to USB, plugged my 5.1 speakers into it and it worked. Simply go into Audio Midi Setup on the Mac and set up a surround speaker setup. Everything just works without having to install any drivers. I now have 5.1 surround monitoring working in daVinci Resolve.

Surprisingly good. Windows 10 had no problem detecting the device, and no drivers were required. Just be aware that you need to plug your audio cables in before it will show up in youu system tray as an output device.The sound volume and quality seems to be equal to that of my motherboard's on board sound card, and with this channelled through my amp, it works really well.

Great product. Highly recommended the seller. Thank you :)
