I just received this headset without the usb sound card adapter, so guessing this listing does not include it.

The one I received was 3.5mm. As another user states: "The item was fulfilled by Amazon, so it was a processor at an Amazon.com warehouse that sent the incorrect mic. The packages are nearly identical and the connectors are hidden from view." It's possible that there are two models and it's a problem on Amazon's end that is causing people to receive both USB and 3.5mm mics. If you receive a USB version and were not expecting it, contact amazon support.

I run Linux on my PC, so I can't address the Windows issue. And I don't think I even used the USB interface at all ... I just used the "line-level" output, and plugged that directly into my PC's sound card, and that worked perfectly.

Mine did not include the usb adapter, thus I am returning it. Possibly a packaging oversight, but nonetheless, it was not included.

I didn't get any special sound card. I am running mine on a MAC desktop that is about 2 years old, sounds great. So I guess it depends how old your computer is.

Mine came with a separate usb speaker. I don't recall whether it was called a subwoofer or not, but I do seem to recall something along that line. As you can tell, that wasn't really important to me. I purchased separately a set of good quality usb speakers that I use whenever I'm watching something where sound is really important. I think it also depends on what features you loo for when you're deciding what system you want. The unit I purchased had the features I wanted and I'm very happy with it

I connected mine with both -- the USB provides power and software - the jack connects to the sound card

Yes it is the same as a USB card with appropriate connectors for speakers and mic. Instead of having to open up your computer case and installing a sound card, you can just use on of you USB slots and install this device. That is what I did an it works well. I have used the speaker connection only; I have not used the mic connection.

Works fine for me, I use no sound card. Let me say this though: I use FL Studio, which uses that special audio driver, and it doesn't seem to like it when I do live recording via the FL sound driver. I have to go into my Audio options, disable my audio, and then it will function for recording live sounds (just a pain really, but still works). Other than that, I have no complaints running it through my 20$ logictech speakers.

I've used my RIG headset without a discrete soundcard on my pc. Its my understanding that USB headphones (all of them) have a built in soundcard and RIG is usb. Also I had an issue where the mic would pick up environmental noises and project them through the earpieces and upon researching a solution to this I was told that the built in sound card makes this happen and that you can't change any of the settings on it.

I have purchased it, to use it with my headphone and while this card is plugged in it's the sound card that outputs the signal.We also use it on a server at work. The server did not have a sound card on the motherboard(build in) nor and external car. This card gave sound to this PC.

I am looking at mine and it does not have a USB connection. It has HDMI (which I am using), VGA, DVI, and speaker and headset jack. No USB though.

The 49.99 version comes with a usb reciever you can plug into your computer. The cheaper one cannot be used on your pc unless you buy the reciever sepratley.

I run out of the Main Outs into my Lexicon Alpha USB Interface. I have had multiple boards with USB cards built in but they all really suck as USB Sound Interfaces. Love the way the Lexicon Alpha works and the recorded sound it sooooo much better. That is my solution. Even you can get the Alpha pretty cheap and it will far out perform build in USB interfaces.

2014 Update, it does NOT come with a USB receiver. It just arrived and I am furious that I have to purchase a separate adapter now. UPDATE THE DESCRIPTION PLEASE.

There is a USB sound card that does come with the product. It is not required for use if you want to use the Headset/Mic audio jacks However, if you want to use the software features, you need to have the headset plugged in with the USB sound card. Horrible Google Translation: Hay una tarjeta de sonido USB que viene con el producto. No se requiere para su uso si desea utilizar las tomas de audio Auriculares / Mic Sin embargo, si desea utilizar las funciones de software , es necesario tener el auricular conectado a la tarjeta de sonido USB .

This happened to me as well. After doing some research, and not wanting to fiddle with all kinds of software solutions or return the unit, I bought a USB sound card. Amazon sells the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage micro for $29.99. I just downloaded the driver from their website and "bam" all my headphone problems are solved. Not only that, it also boosts the sound volume and quality remarkably. The other great thing is that your headsets will stay put. i found the Asus headphone jack to be incredibly loose. Hope this helps
