Cubilux CB5 USB Audio Interface for Recording, Streaming, Podcasting, USB to 3.5mm Sound Card with Stereo Microphone Input, Line-In, Line-Out & Headphone Jack for Monitors, Support Windows & Mac OS

I found this on accident and decided to try it out because it seemed perfect for my use cases. I’ve had this sound card for about two weeks. So to start It Exceeds expectations by actually working with a phone even though says it does not. I got both my iPhone 13 Pro and an Samsung phone to recognize it for my music producing apps over an otg dongle. Not only am I saving in size with this I save a little bit of money by not having to use a larger audio interface for inputs which is usually our only option. Im about to order their even smaller one from them to test and see if can do what this one does. It could be one of the best solutions for audio input for phones in my use cases. On the windows PC/steam deck everything worked perfectly as promised. I tested it out and OBS with all the inputs and both the outputs can be used all at the same time. I don’t think you can find another sound card solution that has this many stereo inputs plus the two stereo outputs at this size and excellent build quality. Oh and it’s plug and play with no sketchy driver download situation.

I was hoping that the device would show up to a PC as a single device with multiple channels of input and output but it shows up more as a hub with multiple audio devices connected. Still useful but not exactly what I needed. I decided to keep it anyway because it was inexpensive and I can find a use for it. It is tiny for the number of inputs and outputs included and requires no external power separate from USB which is convenient.

I bought this to interface my computer with an older ham radio mainly on the strength of it having line level ports instead of just headphones/mic. It was detected on Windows 11 with no problems and got to work immediately. It seems even more sensitive than my Signalink USB since it didn't work at first until I found I was putting way too much signal into it. Does not have the sound artifacts that cheaper ones have. The pictures really don't tell the story but this thing is only 2.75 inches wide. There's nothing to it!

11 Feb 2025 This is a review for the Cubilux Model CB5: USB to 3.5mm Sound Card with Stereo Microphone Input Didn't expect much. Like others, I am favorably impressed. There's even a support web site for the brand name. It's cubilux dot com. Plugged it into Windows 10. It was plug and play. Sounds good. My old computers have a lot of static in the built-in microphone circuitry. I have heard the same static in YouTube videos when people post tutorials. Some old computers with Realtek chips have that static problem in the microphone circuitry. I bought this Cubilux Model CB5 adapter to try to eliminate that static and to eliminate microphone voice echo in the finished output. This Cubilux adapter has no static in the microphone circuit. And...most of all...it works well with OBS (Open Broadcast Studio). Echo in the output was a problem but this Cubilux has elimiated that problem. I stilll hear microphone voice echo in my ears from my headphones as I monitor the output but the echo is eliminated from the OBS finished output so it's practically useful even though not perfect...but that's certainly not a Cubilux problem....that's an inherent problem in OBS software. There's a $20 software add-on that claims to give better control over audio mixing and audio output but I haven't taken the leap because I use several computers in my house and I don't want to drag my aging carcass around the house to situate myself at one particular computer for an OBS task and I don't want to have to add $20 to each computer configuration. So, Cubilux has given me the practical perfomance that meets my needs when using OBS. Thanks. And...thanks to Amazon. I've not seen Cubilux any where else for a decent price and certainly the full product lineup doesn't seem to be anywhere else. Uh-oh. I just looked at the Cubilux web site. They have added some very interesting mixers at a very attractive price. I might get one and try running line out from the Cubilux CB5 into a Cubilux mixer along with my microphone connected to the Cubilux mixer then run the mixer output into the line-in of the Cubilux CB5 and capture that into OBS to see if that gives me the mix of voice mixed with that which OBS calls "desktop audio" so I can mix properly and hear no echo. In this way, maybe, I can be voice performer and studio producer at the same time with no echo in my ears while creating content. We shall see.

Great for what it does. Like many USB products can be finicky and frustrating. For example, works ok with windows 11 but “buggy” with Ubuntu. Depends on the app, too.

So good I bought a second one. Easy to connect. Windows 11 saw it right away. Attached my mixer to it and everything sounds very clean. Expanded the capabilities of my mini-pc.

I ordered this twice, the first time the shipping envelope had been ripped open and was empty upon arrival. The second time, they shipped it in a box and it arrived with no issue. However, I am return the sound card for several issue. Of the ports, the only one that seems to work is the leftmost mic port, but it severely clips (envelopes) both the high and low end frequencies. The second mic port doesn't work at all. The line in port detect when a cable is plugged in, but does not actually function. I did not test the line out port as I have no use for it (although I did double check that it was not actually a mislabeled input considering how most of the other ports refused to function). The headphones port does detect when a cable is connected, but again does not actually work. Avoid at all costs!

The port that Apple refused to give you, and so much more! Works great with both USB-C and older MacBook Pro's. Tip: I almost returned this item as defective until remembering that the source volume level from a MacBook Pro audio out/Headphone jack (and other devices) must be pretty high, ~ 75% or more, to get an audible signal to substitute as Line Out. This is just the industry standard difference between a Line Out jack vs Headphone jack at the source. Once headphone output was cranked up, it was clear the Cubilux was working like a charm the entire time.

即返品しました。 ちゃんとしたインターフェースを求めてる人には絶対にお勧めしません。 配信にも宅録に使用しても期待通りの結果は得られないと思います。

Ça fonctionne très bien Permet d’avoir du son qui sort vers un casque par exemple et autre chose

it's actually works perfectly well.

Top Gerät. Funktioniert sofort am Mac und stellt einwandfrei die beschriebenen Ein- und Ausgänge zur Verfügung, was für meinen Apple M3 Max mit lediglich einem Kopfhörerausgang ohne Line-out eine wichtige Erweiterung für jeden Musiker und Tontechniker ist. Früher war das mal ein Kombiausgang am Mac. Heute braucht man dieses kleine Spitzengerät.

I updated from 3 to 5!! Well I had big expectations, I tried many settings in Reaper with WASAPI and ASIO4ALL, I can see the device in both but only WASAPI give signal to Reaper. I can't get the two mic inputs too work together, as each of them is detected as a difference device, and each device for some strange reason are stereo... really just the mono duplicated in each channel. The quality of the ADC is decent, good sound, but if I can't make the left and right channel to work together I will return it. I don't know if my device is defective or if is the normal behavior of this device. UPDATE: This is much better of what I expected, but you need to get your hands on it. Actually each mic input is Stereo! the AUX in is Stereo two, so you have 6 channels inputs, or 3 stereo ins, But... each stereo channel is a separate audio device. Then the problem is that in Windows you need to use VB-Audio Voicemeeter (Free or Paid) or JACK Audio Connection Kit (Free & Open Source) Why? because you need to group all the separated audio devices that the Cubilux has inside into one virtual device, that your preferd DAW can read and assing. In android, because yes, this works on Android!! just get a pro Data cable, (Currently using the one that comes with the Arturia Minifuse 2 OTG) And magic!! The first mic input allows left and right channel separatedly and it's visible in some apps, I tried N-Track and Black Magic Camera, I recorded stereo making my one trrs to left trs and right trs to connect to mics in the first mic channel. This device has so much potential but you need to do some research and many tests to understand what you can do?
