## Description

Xonar U5 is a compact 5.1-channel USB sound card designed to provide PC gamers with high quality audio for games, music and movies. It follows in the footsteps of the award-winning Xonar U7 - providing you with strong and clear sound via headphones, and producing more impactful and detailed audio than onboard hardware. The Xonar U5 has no standalone power supply and connects to your PC via USB, allowing you to instantly plug-in without having to open the PC case.

Review: Works well with linux - I had a problem where all the cheap 5.1 and 7.1 USB sound cards (which probably used the same chip internally) would occasionally switch channels, so the wrong channel was coming out of the wrong speaker. I went through 3 different cheap USB sound cards that all had this problem. During the pandemic, this suddenly became a problem if, during a zoom call, the zoom audio started coming out of the subwoofer! Finally, I gave up and bought this more expensive sound card. The sound doesn't seem appreciably better (though to my ears DACs matter a lot less than speakers and headphones). But it's rock-solid under linux and has been completely reliable. Also, the cheap DACs sometimes send a pop through my powered monitors when I reboot my machine, and this one doesn't have that problem.
Review: it works great. Gave 4 stars as i am unsure which ... - Can't be sure if this is my ASUS Computer, Windows 10 Driver, or the sound card, but sometimes the sound goes out for a split second, or sometimes its as if I can't get it loud enough. Usually, it works great. Gave 4 stars as i am unsure which device is actually at fault.

A: Yes, using the line-in/mic input.

Can't be sure if this is my ASUS Computer, Windows 10 Driver, or the sound card, but sometimes the sound goes out for a split second, or sometimes its as if I can't get it loud enough. Usually, it works great. Gave 4 stars as i am unsure which device is actually at fault.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improved sound
*by J***N on February 5, 2024*

My old sound card (2007) didn't work with my new laptop. Part of the pain of W11. I've heard about a 30% increase in the quality of the sound. The bass has a little more punch and crisp sound to it. The mid-range frequencies got a little boost and over all the presence has improved. It included a program, Sonic Studio, that allows personnel adjustment to the sound envelope. I listen to music all day and now I'll enjoy it a little more.
