    LDLC is not at fault very bad for installing STARTECH drivers

    The FIRMWARE available for download on the STARTECH site could not be installed by modifying the script I was able to install it, I warned STARTECH that it could close the incident because I had contacted them by email. I was not able to install it, I warned STARTECH that it could close the incident because I had contacted them by email. No answer from them, probably offended that I had settled the incident myself, so the product had been received by LDLC but I ordered afterwards a REAL digital cable to connect JBL duo speakers to the PC, I asked by email to LDLC if this cable was mountable on the STARTECH's external sound card, no answer from LCDLC, in fact the cable is not mountable on the card although the card has a SPDIF output at the back but without an adaptor, I went back to the LDLC shop in Paris (the adapter is apparently unobtainable) and the cable is not mountable. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm sure it's a good one.

    Very poor connectivity

    I ordered this product to have a sound card that could generate 5.1 via SPDIF. Few products were able to offer this feature. First purchase on LDLC and a Startech product. Nothing to say about the delivery and ordering at LDLC, very good.
    I have to say that the product is capable of performing this task, but the connection is of very poor quality. I'm not sure if it's a good one or not, but it's a good one, and I'm not sure if it's a good one. I was very disappointed by this brand that I did not know. I was very disappointed with this brand, which I did not know.

    underdelivery

    1) The CD is missing
    2) The French manual is missing
    I thought that these 2 negative points in less than 100 characters were enough...

    Small but mighty!

    The delivery was fast and in perfect condition!
    I'm really not disappointed! The quality is excellent, you can change the sound rendering with the button on the side, for recordings of your voice, it's really perfect! I've been using it for a while now and it's really good for my ears.

    Very good quality

    I'm really impressed with the way the card works on my Micro Newer-700 and the quality it sends back on Skype, discord etc... frankly nothing to complain about.


    I've been using it for a while now and I'm very happy with the quality.
