Syba Sd-aud20040 7.1 Channel Usb 2.0 Sound Box

Cheap and it works great. Doesn't need drivers to install. Great for an HTPC build. A great alternative to an internal sound card

The best USB sound card I can afford ; Works great with Snow Leopard

None

Inexpensive

Does not work as advertised. Says it is Mac compatible on website on on package but it is not...unless you call "compatible" meaning only the analog outs work...digital does not

I recently purchased this product because the headset I bought used the three color 3.5mm jacks used for 5.1 surround sound. Also it had a mic jack. The iMac does not allow compatibility with the 2 of the 3 jacks and neither the mic. When I plugged it...
