If you play a DVD with 5.1 channel surround sound on your computer, this box can decode it to give you the 6 analog channels. Surprisingly, the optical link would have only the L/R channels. Why they would strip part of the digital audio and not let people simply pass it on to a home audio system is hard to understand. Unfortunately, that was the reason I bought this device, and I missed the fine prints. I saw the heading "6 Channel External Sound" and that it has optical output, never imagined that the 6 channel sound was only in analog and not in digital. This caveat is stated in the last line of the description, very easy to overlook if you're not looking for it, especially when you don't think that anyone would design it that way. So I have to return this one and get something else.
Other than this deficiency, this external sound card works just fine with my Vista64 HP laptop. The software installation was easy, no conflict with the internal nVideo audio. They coexist just fine, but you do have to go into Control_Panel/Sound to select which one is the default device. Some media player would feed audio to both devices, but many would only serve the default one.

OK, I was skeptical when I ordered this: I've seen this exact same model on other sites for $60. This one on Amazon was so much cheaper I was worried it wouldn't work. Well, color me surprised! It works just like it's supposed to! I'm using it on a Vista Home Premium machine to replace a dead motherboard-based soundcard.

I had a old laptop that I wanted to convert to a media center. I bought this to get the digital output via the optical port. I am feeding the signals to my Onkyo system and it works flawlessly. The installation was a breeze on XP.
