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.

I use this to check whether my smartphones really deliver high-resolution-audio. So I use the line-in with sampling rates up to 192 kHz. As you can see in the picture the volume goes down with the frequency at higher frequencies, and I think that's due to the recording with the Cubilux. In short: you can use this cheap device to check qualitatively.EDIT: after 2 weeks the device stopped working properly, and Windows didn't recognize it any more

I got this to record line in audio because my laptop does not support it. Used it one time and the line in jack went dead. I tried different cables and recording software but nothing works anymore. Very disappointed.

This is a good little USB sound card for your computer, I am using it for streaming and it works good. It has a good clear sound and a variey of ways to connect to it

New turntable with built in preamp. I thought my PC mobo had a line in bus, but not the case. This interface plugs right in, was seen by Windows 11 right away, and provided a line in bus in the sound control panel. A couple of settings tweaks in my software, and was able to digitize albums onto the PC just as intended. Excellent little device, and quite affordable.
