Will the RIG mixer act as a seperate sound card, let's say if your laptop sound device is not working?

Probably not, it plugs in to your laptop/desktop using a usb port which connects to your motherboard, you must have either a built in soundcard or one plugged into the motherboard for it to function. Im sure any $20-40 soundcard should work if yours is busted.

Yes, basically. Plugging in the USB cable will set up a new USB audio output in Windows 7/8, and you could use that device for anything really. But the output is limited to 48kzh / 16-bit if that matters to you. It is designed so that you would use the USB device as your "default communications device" and then plug in a digital or analog cable and set that device as the "default device" for other applications. You would lose partial mixer functionality using it in this way.

I've used my RIG headset without a discrete soundcard on my pc. Its my understanding that USB headphones (all of them) have a built in soundcard and RIG is usb. Also I had an issue where the mic would pick up environmental noises and project them through the earpieces and upon researching a solution to this I was told that the built in sound card makes this happen and that you can't change any of the settings on it.

Yes...and really doesn't matter...because I am able to use the audio mixer in the control panel. I am using very good external speakers as well.

Yes you can. It has many inputs. You can even use both mixer's output on PA's input. It will work like a charm! Enjoy it!

Sorry.Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

Yes, this will work. It essentially becomes your new sound card. That said the sound quality out of this device isn't impressive but it's functional.

Without trying, I have no clue. However, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to create a mixer? For the price of 5 of these, you could get a decent mixer. Otherwise, even if you could essentially create 10 different outputs, I'm not sure there are any programs out there that would be designed to see 10 different audio sources. I could be mistaken. Regardless, I'm willing to bet there''s something out there that can already do what you need it to do, instead of piling up a bunch of external sound cards.

Depends on the source of the noise. I can only say that my rig has no apparent noise caused by the mixer itself. I use Senheiser mics, guitars straight in, drum machines and synths.

I have purchased it, to use it with my headphone and while this card is plugged in it's the sound card that outputs the signal.We also use it on a server at work. The server did not have a sound card on the motherboard(build in) nor and external car. This card gave sound to this PC.

I have not tried that so I do not know for sure. But if that is your main use for the soundcard, you'd better off with Asus Xonar U3 as the internal DAC of this card is not used then.

not the controller itself because theres no Audio Interface built in . Only the laptop or External Audio Interface with headphone IN. This is only a controller for your Virtual Mixer

This works with build in soundcards, but if you want better quality a dedicated sound card will make it better.

This mixer can send output from your two wireless microphones (assuming they have standard input capabilities) into your PC mixed to your preference; that information then becomes "input" to your PC after which the output to the amp/speaker setup becomes your PC's responsibility moreso than the mixer. The short answer is that it should if you know how to handle your PC as a middleman. Hope this helps~

It will do everything, from what I can tell, that a built-in sound card will do. The sound card on my laptop went out and I bought and used a Sabrent USB sound card as a replacement. It did everything my built-in did, so I imagine the PCI one will do the same. You might ask Sabrent at http://sabrent.com/support/ I'm sure they'll confirm it.

No. There's no audio input or output. You need the "Firstmix I/O" which has a soundcard.

Yes. It's a self-contained sound processing unit as well as a multiple-input mixer.

The output from your mixer should go to the mic or line input jack. The link output is to daisy chain to another monitor.

I used the M-Audio cable, works the best. Just remember that the mixer doesn't have a sound card, it's midi control only. I recommend the Numark idjo sound card if you're using the computer for 2-deck mixing or the M-Audio 4 channel sound card for 4 deck mixing.
