U-Phoria UMC22 : Not recommended if you also use it as a sound card.

6 years ago

I just bought this thing last week. I needed something cheap and simple to double as both an audio interface and as a sound card.

Recording wise, it does exactly what it says on the tin. Nothing more and nothing less. That works fine for me since I have no need for more high end equipment to record my bass guitar. And although driver support is absolutely worthless, I did manage to set it up, using the suggested older Behringer drivers. But using it as a sound card, is more than horrible. When I listen to stuff on Youtube and then switch to whatever mp3 player I use on my computer, the sound is slowed down to rather annoying levels. I have to troubleshoot/reinstall the device and/or drivers every time I make that switch, which is incredibly frustrating. Then I decided to completely remove all Behringer drivers and for some reason, my computer still recognised it as the primary sound device, which I found rather strange. Needless to say I will be returning this device and opt for another interface. One that DOES have it's own drivers. I have never had this kind of problem with any of the interfaces (same price range, same quality range) I used to own.
