USB Audio and Video Adapters
Some computers today come equipped with ports for inputting and outputting audio signals, however if you lack this capability, or if you require a more sophisticated input output set up a usb audio adapter will provide MIC IN and LINE IN ports, as well as providing audio out ports, and some are also capable of providing true 5.1 channel audio output. This type of output will allow you to create a surround sound set up with 2 front channel speakers, 2 rear channel speakers, a center channel and a subwoofer. If this is too elaborate, you can also use the adapter to create a regular 2 channel audio output.
In case you didn’t already know, USB is an acronym for universal serial bus. The term universal is the reason USB ports have replaced other types of ports on newer computers. USP ports can be used to connect a variety of different devices to your computer. But if those external devices are spread over a wide area you will need to employ a usb extension cable , or perhaps several, to make those connections. In this case it’s well to remember that since your extension cable transmits information, not just electricity, a higher quality cable will serve you better.
Lastly, if you want to connect an additional monitor, LCD display or projector to your computer you can do so with a usb video adapter . This is a great addition if you can do it, since it improves your multitasking capability.
