DriverGenius AV202-B USB-C Audio Capture Grabber Card Device, with LED Indicator, Analog Cassette to Digital MP3 Converter, Compatible for Windows 11 and macOS Sequoia

This is a great inexpensive audio capture device. We had some old audio cassettes that we wanted to preserve in digital format. Having looked into hiring out this service we thought we would try to do it ourselves.I would like to point out that it suggests that you disable any anti-virus software on your computer in order to install the software included on the disk....just remember to turn your anti-virus software back on!Once we connected the RCA cables to our cassette player the software pretty much did the work for us. We were surprised how easy the process was and the audio quality was pretty good coming from a 30 year old cassette tape.I am not a techie type person and was hesitant to try this myself but was surprised at how simple the processwas and the results were good. For less than $20 we were able to preserve the voice of a late family member.

Never thought i would be able toteansfer my audio to mp3 files! Hallelujah

I've recommended these to friends for streaming (before a lot of the DJ software made it easy to capture their audio directly) and they work very well to quickly add an audio capture device on Windows, Mac, or Linux. They are supported out of the box without driver installation, even on Linux, where it shows up as an ALSA device that "just works". The sound quality is fine, not audiophile, but absolutely acceptable for streaming. I wouldn't use one of these if I was, for example, archiving vinyl or something, but for general audio capture, it works well.The problem is that I have had two of them fail for no reason in the past two years. It's a twenty dollar USB device, so I can't really complain that much. But by way of comparison, I also have a Griffin iMic, which cost thirty three dollars ten years ago, that still works. It's a comparable product - albeit, it uses 3.5mm jacks exclusively - but apparently the build quality is that much better. It's been bounced around multiple houses, tossed from box to box and place to place, and it still functions as well as the day I bought it. But two of these VTOP USB audio interfaces have died on me in two years.

I just received this last night and my initial use attempt could not have been easier.I have a fairly large collection of vinyl LPs and singles and I'm finally getting to work with them again after many years. I'm using vintage gear I've kept over the years (Technics SL-D1 turntable, Sony TA-F40 integrated amp). I have a number of vinyl albums that are out-of-print, hard to find or not available on streaming services. I wanted to use the gear I had to rip the music from the vinyl to digital files.I decided to give this Driver Genius device a go, based on the positive reviews. I have a MacBook, but I really hoped it would work with my preferred Kubuntu-based Linux docked laptop system. I was not disappointed.I used the "Tape Monitor" output on the Sony amp as the source. The Technics turntable connects to the Sony's photo pre-amp input. I connected two RCA male plugs from the amp to the female RCA plugs on the Driver Genius device, and the USB connector into a USB port on the Linux laptop system.Audacity, the open source recording software, detected the device as a "USB PnP Audio Device. " I queued up an LP on the turntable, lowered the stylus, hit the record button on Audacity and the software immediately registered a waveform as the recording was made. Users can choose to save completed recordings to WAV or MP3 files (I chose WAV so they can be converted to FLAC). I only created a few files with this, but the sound of the resulting music is really great. Audacity provides a number of tools for improving and fixing your files.That's it. This is about as simple and easy as it gets from a user perspective, and this little device does everything I expected without a burp.

Advertised as Fully Plug and Play. No drivers needed. But Windows 11 doesn't recognize it's here. I plug it in to the USB port like I plug in a hundred other devices. But the Device Manager doesn't show it's here. The pictures show a blue light on the device, but it never came on. I tried power-cycling the computer, I tried the device on multiple cassette players, I tried using the 3.5mm plug, and I tried using the RCA inputs. Nothing.If you can help me figure out how to get it to work, I'll come back and change this review. But the instructions just say, "Should it not be recognized automatically, set the audio grabber as an audio input source using the control panel." How can I do that if the computer doesn't even know it's there?

I needed to do audio capture from an old arcade machine. There was no true line level audio to intercept and capture so I cut the end of an RCA cable and used alligator clips to wire directly onto the machine's speaker. On my laptop I just plugged the capture card in, no installation needed. I already had Audacity so opened that and after a few seconds, the capture card became available under the input list as a microphone. I clicked monitor and Audacity was seeing the incoming audio. I set the volume of the speaker to get a good input level then pressed record. Very simple, the audio quality was really good.

w prosty sposób przechwytuje audio analogowe np.z vinyli .

Easy to set up and use.

Ist super, kein Rauschen bei der umwandlung von Analog zu Digital.Die 1 Stern Reviewers die sagen, dass die es nicht in Audacity finden, haben warscheinlich vor dem Einstecken Audacity geöffnet.Leute, zuerst einstecken, warten bis es sagt, dass das gerät einsatzbereit ist. Erst DANN öffnet ihr Audacity. Das ding funktioniert einwandfrei, bin echt überrascht bei der audioqualität.

Non necessita di software per l'installazione. Come indicato nelle istruzioni, per acquisire l'audio ho scaricato il programma "Audacity" che si è dimostrato molto intuitivo nell'utilizzo. Ho inserito lo spinotto jack nella presa cuffie dello stereo e, dopo averne regolato opportunamente il volume, ho iniziato la registrazione (per prova ho registrato alcuni vecchi dischi in vinile). La regolazione del volume della sorgente audio è importante per ottenere un segnale adeguato per la registrazione. Anche se l'uscita cuffie non è ottimale per prelevare il segnale audio, il risultato della registrazione è stato molto soddisfacente, nessun fruscio o disturbo provenienti dal dispositivo sono udibili anche con ascolto in cuffia. Per ascoltare l'audio (qualche utente non ci riusciva) durante la registrazione si deve entrare nel menù "modifica/preferenze" di Audacity, poi scegliere "registrazione" dal menù di sinistra e mettere il flag su "Software Playthrough dell'ingresso".
