USB 2.0 5.1 sound adapter for basic audio
The MANHATTAN 150859 connects through a USB 2.0 port to provide 5.1 channel audio output and a single line input. It suits users who need simple surround sound from a laptop or desktop without opening the case. No internal installation is required.
Consistent performance for everyday playback
The adapter handles regular stereo and 5.1 streams through the USB 2.0 bus without depending on internal PCIe bandwidth. Audio quality remains stable during typical music, video or voice sessions. Heavy multi-channel processing loads are not its intended use case.
Compact external design with standard jacks
The unit measures 0.6 by 0.9 by 2.1 inches and weighs approximately 0.30 oz, so it adds negligible bulk to a setup. One line in and one line out connect powered speakers, headphones or an external recorder. The WEEE and RoHS markings confirm compliance with common environmental standards.

Questions about this item
Does the USB 2.0 adapter run hot or draw noticeable power when left connected all day?
The compact external adapter draws bus power from the USB 2.0 port and has no fan, so it stays cool and adds minimal load during continuous use.
What must my computer already have for the 150859 to work?
A free USB 2.0 Type-A port and an operating system with standard USB audio class support are all that is required.
Will the 5.1 channel adapter work alongside the audio jacks built into an older motherboard?
Yes, it appears as a separate audio device so you can keep the onboard ports active for stereo duties while using the adapter for surround output.
