### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the money but not quite perfect.
*by M***O on 30 October 2015*

I have come back to PC music production after a while away and realised that Realtek chipsets on most motherboards, although better than they used to be,can't quite cut it, particularly in the latency department. I was loathed to spend £50+ on a proper pro sound card while I was tentatively returning to this hobby so this Behringer UCA202 seemed perfect. It arrived on time and well packed and straight out of the box its smaller than I expected, about the size of a cigarette packet. I plugged mine in a proper USB port (not a hub) and immediately installed and worked (Windows 8.1 and 10), no issues. A little light on the top tells you its on and you get the glow from the optical out too. I fed my 10 channel WharfdalePro mixer into it and connected it to the line in on my Logitech Z speakers. Not exactly a pro setup but entry level music making kit. I tested it with Cakewalk and Ableton and there was a noticeable improvement in latency when feeding stuff in and through the PC i.e. guitar and mic effects etc. Not 0 latency, in fact on my set-up probably still 10-20ms, I used the ASIO4ALL drivers which have mixed success with most people but they reported something like 11ms via Cakewalk. Previously I could achieve similar latency with my Realtek card but it would become unstable and break up and need resetting every 20mins. This didn't happen with the Behringer, it works flawlessly for hours on end and basically it does what I bought it for. Furthermore there's a little switch for monitoring directly so if you just want to echo the in to the out with 0 latency, you can do that but clearly it won't be going though any effects etc on the PC. I also played music from Google Play though the unit and I the is a noticeable improvement in clarity, so much so that I can actually hear stuff in the songs that I hadn't heard before and that is usually the mark of an great audio equipment. I listened through my Logitech speakers and some mid range over ear Sony headphones and in both cases the music was balanced and defined. If you're buying this only for music playback and don't care about music production, as most people will, its worth it for that alone. OK, so why the four stars...Well, I used this on headphones and it was superb, when I connected the line out to the Z speakers there was a noticeable whine, digital interference whine that alters when you move the mouse pointer or change stuff on the screen. That is very far from pro audio or high quality, it doesn't happen on my built in Realtek where I would expect more interference. Now this COULD be the crap cable I used or the positioning, I haven't tested it on ANYTHING else yet. I plan to test it on my proper AV unit in the lounge so I will report back if I notice any difference.
