Compact dual-pack USB audio adapter
The zdyCGTime 682559181166 supplies two identical external sound cards that each add a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a 3.5 mm microphone jack through a single USB 2.0 port. Virtual 5.1 channel processing creates a surround effect without any internal card or driver installation. The pair suits users who need a quick replacement for a failed onboard audio port or who want matching adapters for two workstations.
Passive USB-powered operation
Each unit draws all required power from the host USB 2.0 connection, so no external supply or driver disc is needed. The adapter enumerates as a standard audio device on Windows from 98 through XP and on Mac OS 8.6 and later, delivering 192 MHz sample-rate playback through the 3.5 mm outputs. With no moving parts and a 21 g mass, the device runs silently and adds negligible load to the USB bus.
Direct replacement for broken onboard audio
The two-pack directly replaces a faulty motherboard or laptop audio jack, restoring stereo output and microphone input instantly. It also upgrades basic stereo speakers or headsets to virtual 5.1 surround for gaming on platforms such as PS3 or Xbox 360. The jump is worth it when the original codec has failed or when a system lacks any 3.5 mm ports at all.

Questions about this item
How do I install the zdyCGTime 682559181166 sound card and what step is often missed?
Plug the USB 2.0 connector into a free port on the PC or notebook; the virtual 5.1 channel adapter is recognised automatically without external drivers, but users often forget to select it as the default playback and recording device in the operating system sound settings.
What maintenance or replacement will the 2-pack USB sound card need later?
The solid-state adapter has no moving parts or firmware updates, so no scheduled maintenance is required; replacement is only necessary if a 3.5 mm jack becomes physically damaged or the USB connector wears out after repeated insertions.
What limit appears first when the adapter runs sustained 5.1 audio on a USB 2.0 port?
The USB 2.0 full-speed link caps total bandwidth, so extended high-rate 192 kHz multi-channel streams may encounter throughput limits before the adapter itself overheats or degrades.
