Cubilux CB5 USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming, Podcasting, USB to 3.5mm Sound Card with Stereo Microphone Input, Line-In, Line-Out & Headphone Jack for Monitors, Support Windows & Mac OS

I found this on accident and decided to try it out because it seemed perfect for my use cases. I’ve had this sound card for about two weeks. So to start It Exceeds expectations by actually working with a phone even though says it does not. I got both my iPhone 13 Pro and an Samsung phone to recognize it for my music producing apps over an otg dongle. Not only am I saving in size with this I save a little bit of money by not having to use a larger audio interface for inputs which is usually our only option. Im about to order their even smaller one from them to test and see if can do what this one does. It could be one of the best solutions for audio input for phones in my use cases. On the windows PC/steam deck everything worked perfectly as promised. I tested it out and OBS with all the inputs and both the outputs can be used all at the same time. I don’t think you can find another sound card solution that has this many stereo inputs plus the two stereo outputs at this size and excellent build quality. Oh and it’s plug and play with no sketchy driver download situation.

Its not state of the art high performance sound interface. But you could but 100 of these for what one of those costs. And its performance is pretty close. No XLR or 48V for powered microphones. However sample rates to 192/24 and distortion in the -90dB or better range. I'm using it for measuring speakers and microphones and its not a limitation with the best transducers. In practical terms its performance is essentially "perfect" for audio needs. However to get the higher sample rates on Windows you need to go to "Settings">System"> "sound">"more sound settings" and open the individual device and select "advanced" to access the controls. The direct from the taskbar doesnt work. i think its a Microsoft issue since its Microsoft's native driver. There are complaints about units failing. If mine does I'll report back.

I was hoping that the device would show up to a PC as a single device with multiple channels of input and output but it shows up more as a hub with multiple audio devices connected. Still useful but not exactly what I needed. I decided to keep it anyway because it was inexpensive and I can find a use for it. It is tiny for the number of inputs and outputs included and requires no external power separate from USB which is convenient.

Bought for my tech savvy kid, he is satisfied.

So good I bought a second one. Easy to connect. Windows 11 saw it right away. Attached my mixer to it and everything sounds very clean. Expanded the capabilities of my mini-pc.

This little interface box works like a dream! The perfect interface between computers!

It's a very nice looking device, but it does not work. The computer detects it as a USB device and lets you connect it to a software recording program, but no audio comes through. I verified that I had good sound going into the device. I tried two different cables from a verified audio source into the line-in jack of the device (I bought one of the cables brand new when I could not get an audio signal through the device). I also tried two different USB cables, and two different software programs on two different computer systems. The device simply does not pass any audio, which is, you know, the only thing it's supposed to do. Seeing that others found the device to not work out of the box or stop working after a few days, I think it's pretty clear that it's a low quality product.

My original review and concern was lack of a line in bus on my PC’s mobo. A driver update on its sound properties altered that. Now when I plug a 3.5” plug into the case’s mic jack, a pop up asks if this is mic, line, or headphone. Very nice as by choosing line, it switches to handling line level input. Worked well with the Cubilux until a couple days back. No matter what I tried, audio was highly distorted, seeming as if no matter what I tried, a mic level was being over amped and highly clipped. . I spent way too long troubleshooting. I did find some cables and adapters that let me go from my high end vintage cassette deck line output via RCA plugs to a 3.5” plug into the PC. I bypassed the Cubilux, and all was well. Evidence the interface failed. Their tech support asked for audio samples which I provided. They had to agree that using their device caused distortion, and bypassing did not. Since the unit was over a year old by a few months, they could not offer a replacement, only a discount on a new purchase. Since I found a viable workaround another interface is unnecessary. When it worked it was a fine device. The PC’s own mobo drivers came to my rescue with the way to insure line level input where needed. Classic caveat emptor. Beware. It MIGHT work for you, but research your equipment and setup to see if there are other alternatives.

即返品しました。 ちゃんとしたインターフェースを求めてる人には絶対にお勧めしません。 配信にも宅録に使用しても期待通りの結果は得られないと思います。

Un producto más que decente, no las tenia todas conmigo, pero la calidad de sonido es implecable si no buscas una calidad profesional, las diferentes entradas y salidas de audio te permiten mucha flexibilidad. No le pongo 5 estrellas porque siempre se puede mejorar. Edit 07/11 He intentado por software utilizar simultaneamente las dos salidas de linea, no me ha funcionado. Al conectar unos auriculares IEM, me he encontrado un importante ruido de fondo, no se mitiga con aisladores de ferrita. Bajo a 3 estrellas, aún recomendable si necesitas una tarjeta de sonido externa para un laptop o MiniPc.

Ça fonctionne très bien Permet d’avoir du son qui sort vers un casque par exemple et autre chose

Werkt prima, fijne oplossing voor een NUC of laptop die geen line-in of line-out heeft.

Die kleine Soundkarte ist wirklich gut. Beim ersten Hörtest keine Auffälligkeiten. Viele Optionen, eigentlich sind die Details oben im Text genannt, aber manches könnte deutlicher gesagt sein: Dies ist ein USB audio class 2 Interface, class compliant. Jede Buchse ist ein eigenes Gerät, das auch erst erscheint, wenn ein Kabel steckt. Dementsprechend hat jede Buchse ihren eigenen Stereo AD oder DA Wandler, was auch die unterschiedlichen möglichen Abtastraten erklärt. Die beiden Mikrofonbuchsen sind jeweils ! Stereo, also die TRS Buchse mit Tip und Ring beschaltet. Line Out und Headphone out können durchaus gleichzeitig genutzt werden, aber es sind zwei verschiedene Geräte, die unterschiedliche Signale wiedergeben. Also alles so beschaltet, wie man es sich wünscht. Beim Einsatz mit älteren Betriebssystemen oder Telefonen kann es wegen UAC2 aber zu Einschränkungen kommen. Heutzutage muss man auch lobend erwähnen, dass die Beschreibung korrekt ist und nicht geträumt.
