Review: Excellent audio interface for computer to stereo & vice versa - This is my second device. I bought one ~ 7 or 8 years ago at the recommendation of an Audacity sound engineer on their forums. I wanted to record my college team's games from my stereo to listen to later. It worked perfectly for that. I am also able to stream videos or songs from my computer over my stereo system... much nicer than my computer audio. I can also plug in my headphones to the 3.5 mm jack on the Behringer unit to listen without disturbing my family. This unit is being used to stream audio for a small Church service & is working well. The RCA jack inputs and outputs are geared more to consumer level audio systems and works very well for that functionality. I have had my 1st unit for a long time & although it is made of plastic, and has been bounced around a bit from home to office to other places it has never failed me. It is plug & play so there is no need to install any software, though I highly recommend Audacity for doing the recording, mixing & perfecting the sound quality... eg digitally boosting recordings that were made at low volume level up to the maximum without clipping. The one thing to be aware of is the audio setup. You will probably need to click on that to switch the audio input &/or output to the USB device. Otherwise your computer may still want to output the audio to it's own speaker system, or to use the computer microphone rather than the stereo audio feed. Not a big deal, but it won't work without telling it which audio stream to use or which playback device to use. For a big commercial setup with balanced cables you would be better off getting a different audio interface with TRS 1/4" &/or XLR connectors, though you could use this unit with adapters.
Review: Guitar amp friendly, Great starting place for DIY/Budget Studio - For this low price you get the interface you need to be able to play along with yourself with a guitar and an amp! Drivers installed this thing automatically in windows 7 and a few tweaks in Audacidy and you have it ready to record and monitor the input via headphones in real time as you are recording! This will eventually be used to connect my mixer (and drum machine(s) and bass and microphone(s) connected via said mixer) to my computer but I wanted to try a quick 20 minute or so trial run on said product and found it very easy to get an acceptable sound out of my guitar and amp with very little work. That is right, get a 1/4 in to rca cable and plug from your headphone out on your amp into the UCA 202 RCA input and click the monitor switch 'on' that is found on the UCA 202 and you will be able to hear your tone sound exactly like it will on audacity as it is being recorded! I was able to get the levels to an acceptable range so there was no distortion, connected everything up with the 202 from the amp and heard myself playing along with my self in 3 tracks in only 20 minutes. I will say that for my 5 year old laptop that there was a very small lag that can easily be corrected in audacity but there were no background hiss or buzz noises compared to when I input directly to the computer from amp or mixer. I can't wait to see what I can do with this thing once I get enough of a studio area set up, I recommend this for those that are recording on a budget to pair with other behringer products such as their mixers and headphone splitters. I may potentially use the headphone out to monitor the input of a full band so we can all hear one another live as we record through a mixer into the 202. This is my ideal set up for a band with a budget to record themselves: Use Audacity, get a mixer, mic/hook your band up to said mixer, input the mixer output into the UCA202 and have its headphone jack split into 4 (or more) using the Behringer HA400 4-Channel Stereo Headphone Amp. TADA! Everyone can hear themselves playing along in real time with what will be recorded! This thing may cater more to different crowds but if you want to have you own budget studio I think it can be done effectively using the process I listed above.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 24bit?**
A: 24-bit is the current industry standard, and sampling beyond 44/48kHz is much-debated and psycho-acoustically dubious. Here's an in-depth review of the UCA202. The info about the Burr Brown/TI PCM2902 CODEC chip is also revealing. http://nwavguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/behringer-uca202-review.html

**Q: I want to digitize reel to reel recordings and vinyl LP records.  Will this work to input the sound to my laptop?**
A: The Behringer U-Phono UFO202 is better suited to input vinyl recordings to your computer.

**Q: ASIO Driver ?**
A: For this device to work properly with line levels (which is all it does) you need to install the Behringer drivers. Otherwise you will hate the device and yourself.

**Q: tv has no audio out but has usb. Will this work?**
A: Probably not. Most TV USB is inbound so you can look at pictures and etc. You'd also have to find a way to get the drivers on there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ $30? You can't go wrong
*by S***. on November 23, 2012*

I'll add my voice to the praise for this little device. The UCA202 is a no-brainer for affordable USB audio. I purchased this solely to send improved audio quality from my laptop to my desktop speakers. While I have an audiophile-grade rig in my basement for critical listening and DJ'ing, up in my bedroom all I have is my laptop and inexpensive computer speakers, and that's where I spend the majority of my time and listen to the most music. Unhappy with the predictably low quality, noisy output from my MacBook Pro's headphone output jack, I did some research and ultimately decided on the UCA202 for two simple reasons: first, the cost. At $30, you can purchase this item and a very decent 2.1 speaker system for basically the same price as a dedicated DAC like the Audioengine D1. Second, it gives you 3 different output options depending on the type of equipment you have: digital (TOSLINK), analog (stereo RCA) and analog (stereo 1/8" or 3.5mm). Finally, because of its two RCA inputs it can also double as an analog-to-digital converter for ripping vinyl or other analog sources. All considered, this is a pretty versatile little box for $30! The quality is completely fine for computer-based applications like listening to music or playing video games. This is all I use it for, with the occasional headphone session using my Ultrasone Proline 550s. The heaphone amp is not very strong, but it's much cleaner than using the headphone jack on your laptop, so I can't really complain. In terms of resolution, it maxes out at 16bit/48khz, which in the DAC world is not very remarkable, but considering this is not marketed as a DAC but more as an external sound card, it's more than adequate for me. Remember that CD audio - still the most common medium for music even with newer technologies out there - is 16bit/44khz. Until the industry as a whole migrates to 24/48, 24/96 or 24/192, something like the UCA202 will be relevant. And I suspect that will be a very long time. All in all, if you were like me and on the fence about investing in a high end DAC or saving the money for something like this, well, that's a personal decision but I can say that I don't regret my decision of going with the UCA202 at all. While Behringer is not usually in the conversation about quality audio, I think it fills this niche very well, and gives you more money to spend on those nice desktop speakers or powered monitors.
