Frequently Asked Questions - Virtus SCUSB01 Gembird

How to install the Gembird Virtus SCUSB01 sound card?

Simply plug the sound card into an available USB port. No driver is required for Windows, macOS or Linux. The operating system will automatically recognize it as an audio device.

The sound card is not detected, what to do?

Check that the USB port works by trying another device. Try a different USB port. If the issue persists, restart the computer or update the USB drivers of your motherboard.

Can I use this sound card with a microphone?

Yes, the sound card has a microphone input (3.5 mm jack). Plug in your microphone, then select the sound card as the input device in your system's audio settings.

Is the sound quality better than with the built-in sound card?

This sound card offers 16-bit/48 kHz audio quality, similar to most built-in sound cards. The main advantage is the reduction of electromagnetic interference thanks to the external USB.

The sound is choppy or has noise, how to solve?

Make sure the sound card is plugged directly into a USB port on the computer, not into a hub. Avoid excessively long USB cables. In the audio settings, reduce the sampling frequency to 44100 Hz.

Does this sound card work with a smartphone or tablet?

Yes, it is compatible with Android devices that support USB audio (OTG). With an OTG adapter, plug the sound card into your smartphone. It may not work with iOS without a special adapter.

Can I use studio headphones with this sound card?

Yes, the headphone output (3.5 mm jack) can drive headphones with an impedance up to 32 ohms. For high-impedance headphones, an external amplifier may be required.

How to set the sound card as default device?

On Windows, right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, select 'Sounds', then in the 'Playback' tab, select 'USB Audio Device Speakers' and click 'Set Default'. On macOS, go to 'System Preferences > Sound > Output' and choose the sound card.

Is there a built-in microphone on this sound card?

No, this sound card does not have a built-in microphone. It only has an external microphone input (3.5 mm jack). You must connect a separate microphone.

What to do if the sound card emits a constant background noise?

Background noise can come from electromagnetic interference. Move the sound card away from power cables and sources of interference. Try plugging it into a USB port on the back of the computer. If the noise persists, the hardware may be defective.
