Cheap 8 chan USB soundcard
Posted: Sun Aug 29, 2010 8:30 am
Purchasing gear from e-buyer.com the other day I noticed this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/106540 an Asonic External USB2.0 8 Channel Sound Card for less than 15UKP. After some quick Google research I find that the Laser boys like to use it as a cheapo 8 channel DAC for their light shows.
Upshot I now have one and it works.. almost. In SCS you can set the channels up but the channels are not as numbered, i.e. the 1st pair comes out as 1 and 3 not 1and 2. Other channels are also mixed up.
In n-Track studio the channels work as they should with no crosstalk or mixed up channels. In SCS there also seemed to be output echoed onto other channels which does not happen with n-track studio.
Quality from the box is good and with sp-diff in and out plus other goodies it's a great box for the price especially if you are looking for a multi output usb card for a laptop to use on a tour or such.
So..... Question. has anyone else used one before and if so did you get the same problems?
