The Soundcard died in my laptop I get No Device Found. Will this soundbar be detected as an Audio Device through USB so I can use it as my sound card and speakers?

The unit is detected and recognized like other USB devices. It disconnects the internal speakers when running, so I believe it should work

It just a basic usb audio device. Plug in usb and you can use it to plug in your speakers. My sound card went out so I used this as a temporary fix till i could afford another sound card.

I looked at the mixer and it looks like the usb is only for plugging in mp3 players. You need a audio interface to connect to a laptop I use Roland UA-1G whith my laptop. Sorry for my first response I always just assumed that was what it was for.

Yes,I have tried with Ubuntu Desktop 14.0. It found the USB audio device by itself.Michael

Not sure about that particular adapter. There are adapters for PCMCIA to USB available, though. Your best bet is to get a Soundblaster card that connects directly to USB.

I'm not a computer tech but my experience is that I purchased this Syba USB Sound Card because my internal sound card stopped working. I'm remembering, I think, that I still had to have speakers. So you can plug anywhere and use existing speakers... but I'm not sure. You should email the Syba mfg.

Did you get it? I have one of them, it doesn't work. Neither do 3 others I have tried in the last week though, so I think I have a bad sound card. Sorry - I think it worked alright before it stopped working, but I could not swear it and I have a PC. Good luck.

I use the BEHRINGER U-PHONO UFO202 audio interface (available from amazon for $30) to connect my laptop to the mixer/amp. If your tv is one of the newer versions you should be able to connect your video from your laptop via USB or VGA. Not sure about your soundbar arrangement.

NO This item can replace the built-in sound card and/or adds the usb sound device. You may have to go to control panel and select the USB audio device as the default.

no, you will need a sound card regardless to play sound on your computer ..... speakers of any kind only work with a soundcard installed.

In theory you can, i have 2 usb cards connected to my laptop, plus the internal one, and all of them work, so in theory it should work. The only problem i see, is how the computer would identify each one of the usb audio interfaces, and how the user (you) would know each interface.Another thing that can help is to use the ASIO4ALL audio driver, if you are using Windows.Hope this helps.

I just set mine up and it works fine. I use the USB connection and you need to click the input monitor in the lower toolbar so you can hear it. If that button is not lit up you won't hear it. You don't have to record it. My computer has speakers attached. I have Windows XP.

Depends on what kind of sound card. Laptop int. sound card I would say yes you need a card. External, or pci-e would be good.

If you're laptop has a dvi port then yes, but depending on the laptop sound probably won't be transmitted. You might need speakers on your laptop

This should work being as it is just a USB port. HOWEVER it is not: NOTE: this sound card is not compatible with Mac systems. from the details
