I have no regrets buying this! Read full review. For what I use this for, I can think of nothing bad to say about it. my band uses this card to play back recorded sounds that we use along with MIDI sequences, while recording a 2-track feed of the bands show or rehearsal from our sound board. It was easy to install, and produces a much better sound than my internal sound card. I bought it because I needed an inexpensive external source to use as a second sound card with my laptop at gigs. I could get a good sound from them, it just took a lot of work.īut I have nothing but praise for the UCA202 Digital Recording Interface. In my experience with Behringer, only a Bass guitar amp, a set of self powered speakers, and their cheapest microphones have disappointed me. For as inexpensive as their gear is, you have nothing to lose by at least trying it out. I have bought Behringer gear before, and being a musician and producer, I have used a fair share of their products. If you take into account the price range for this device, you can say it's extremely good value for the money. As for ASIO support, it works fine with VSTi instruments, providing a very short delay of several milliseconds with 44 kHz output. You better read about it in other reviews. I haven't tested the input/recording feature of this unit yet. No such effect is noticeable when using the line out with an external amp though. You can feel its inaudible presence in certain types of headphones when there is no output. However, it seems that some noise is present below the threshold of hearing or outside the perceptible range. There is no perceptible noise and no interference from computer circuits like buzzing along with HDD, etc. You will not find any compensation for lossy audio formats, so be prepared to hear greater differences between lossy and lossless compression compared to an integrated audio chip. The sound is dark and closed, yet pretty clean if you listen to FLACs, sometimes painful with MP3s and OGGs (this is not a defect of this unit, this is due to the poor selection of settings for lossy compression). I found Direct Sound to be the worst of all possible options, so I rarely use it. Also I recommend trying various output settings for the audio like choosing between ASIO and Wave out, or between 44.1 and 48 kHz, because all of those settings give different flavor to the sound.

First of all I recommend installing the native Behringer drivers for this device, because they will give you improved sound and proper ASIO support. Here are my impressions after a month's use. With Behringer UCA202 I got all of that and a few additional features as well. I also needed an external sound card for my laptop, since the quality of the integrated chip was not satisfactory.

I needed a portable external audio interface with ASIO support, small delay and passable sound for playing around with VSTi instruments. Fast ASIO output with native drivers, acceptable sound quality
