Summary
Times have changed since a cassette player with detachable speakers and a box of tapes provided the only way to get portable music. It's hard to imagine how many boxes of music are now stored on my hard drive. You still have to get them out, and the...
Strength
Good sound, entertaining software, small size.
Weakness
It isn't designed to accommodate a full set of surround sound speakers.
Bottom Line
The performance of the Turtle Beach micro exceeds its size. It is a very inexpensive way to transport your laptop into a portable stereo/music library. I recommend it.
Not really sure why another reviewer was having problems with this unit, but I have none at all. It's true that you have to reinstall or reboot if you relocate it from one USB port to another, but this is true of many USB devices (including a couple...

Well, I couldn't think of any.
Weakness
unacceptably choppy sound. To change USB ports, you have to reboot.
I purchased this Micro USB audio card as a secondary sound source for both my desktop PC and laptop for use with PCDJ software. I use the internal soundcard as a monitor and the Micro as a main hooked up to amp. I also found that this USB audio card has...
Strength
Small, portable, and affordable
Weakness
Requires a reboot if you switch USB ports after installation.
