Review: Excellent external sound card for laptops - I bought this to act as an external sound card/digital-to-analogue-converter (DAC) to improve the sound output from a laptop. I have found it to be absolutely excellent and remarkable value for money! Without this device sound output from laptops tends to be very flat with no dynamic range (e.g. an audible difference between quiet and loud sounds). Music lacks depth and feeling. However, as soon as you plug in this device the sound output from the computer is transformed: it goes from being 2D to 3D; from car stereo to hi-fi: the difference in quality is remarkable! The device is about the size of a cassette, and has both RCA outputs (to connect to a hi-fi) and a headphone output. You simply plug it into the USB port on you computer... plug some output cables into the device.... and it just works! There is no annoying software to install, and it works on PCs and Macs (I use both) Sometimes you may need to go into control panel/audio devices and select the 'USB Audio Codec' to activate it, but it really is straightforward. (The device also has audio inputs for recording instruments, but I haven't used it in that function so can't comment on performance.) For the price it's performance is fantastic. I even gave one to my boss as a present and he absolutely loves it too! Compared to more expensive devices I expect a 90/10 rule applies - this device gives you 90% of the performance for 10% of the price. If you listen to music through your laptop/computer through headphones or a hi-fi and value good sound quality, I highly recommend this device! Advantages: - Excellent performance for the price - Transforms sound quality from laptops - Small size - Easy to use - No annoying software - Works on Macs and PCs Disadvantages: - Low price won't impress hi-fi snob friends
Review: Plug in & go - Was given 50 vinyl records, but the deal was I had to convert them to digital mp3. Took a while, but very happy with results. Easy to set up & use. I downloaded the recommended Audacity app and away I went. Great little device & great price too.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Should I get this or focusrite Scarlett?**
A: Bit late with the answer but my Focuswrite Scarlett broke down after 18 months and was 'uneconomical to repair'. This Behringer still going strong and I prefer it to the Focuswrite.

**Q: does it have a phatom power?**
A: YES! it has Phantom Power, as you can see the switch on the images!
It's the +48v switch

**Q: Can you plug a stereo jack into one on the inputs, and get a stereo output though usb, and the jack output's on the back?**
A: You could use a 'stereo jack socket to 2 x mono jack plug' lead and plug the two mono jacks into the two inputs. This would achieve your need.

**Q: Does this come with a wire to connect to a laptop or computer or do I have to buy these separately?**
A: Yes, it does come with a nice sturdy USB cable, but check carefully. It's hidden in the side of the box's inner packaging so I missed it completely until I saw the other answer!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the money but not quite perfect.
*by M***O on 30 October 2015*

I have come back to PC music production after a while away and realised that Realtek chipsets on most motherboards, although better than they used to be,can't quite cut it, particularly in the latency department. I was loathed to spend £50+ on a proper pro sound card while I was tentatively returning to this hobby so this Behringer UCA202 seemed perfect. It arrived on time and well packed and straight out of the box its smaller than I expected, about the size of a cigarette packet. I plugged mine in a proper USB port (not a hub) and immediately installed and worked (Windows 8.1 and 10), no issues. A little light on the top tells you its on and you get the glow from the optical out too. I fed my 10 channel WharfdalePro mixer into it and connected it to the line in on my Logitech Z speakers. Not exactly a pro setup but entry level music making kit. I tested it with Cakewalk and Ableton and there was a noticeable improvement in latency when feeding stuff in and through the PC i.e. guitar and mic effects etc. Not 0 latency, in fact on my set-up probably still 10-20ms, I used the ASIO4ALL drivers which have mixed success with most people but they reported something like 11ms via Cakewalk. Previously I could achieve similar latency with my Realtek card but it would become unstable and break up and need resetting every 20mins. This didn't happen with the Behringer, it works flawlessly for hours on end and basically it does what I bought it for. Furthermore there's a little switch for monitoring directly so if you just want to echo the in to the out with 0 latency, you can do that but clearly it won't be going though any effects etc on the PC. I also played music from Google Play though the unit and I the is a noticeable improvement in clarity, so much so that I can actually hear stuff in the songs that I hadn't heard before and that is usually the mark of an great audio equipment. I listened through my Logitech speakers and some mid range over ear Sony headphones and in both cases the music was balanced and defined. If you're buying this only for music playback and don't care about music production, as most people will, its worth it for that alone. OK, so why the four stars...Well, I used this on headphones and it was superb, when I connected the line out to the Z speakers there was a noticeable whine, digital interference whine that alters when you move the mouse pointer or change stuff on the screen. That is very far from pro audio or high quality, it doesn't happen on my built in Realtek where I would expect more interference. Now this COULD be the crap cable I used or the positioning, I haven't tested it on ANYTHING else yet. I plan to test it on my proper AV unit in the lounge so I will report back if I notice any difference.
