| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Not practicable in Windows XP in non Administrator accounts
Like most device drivers the Turtle Beach specific driver needs to be installed with Administrative rights. Nothing unusual.
<br />
<br />However, when a Non Administrator logs on (as is good security practice) the driver says is needs to be reinstalled, which is not possible without Administrator rights. Catch-22.
<br />
<br />Not usable for me as I don't use the Administrator account except for special purposes, a security "best practice". Without the Turtle Beach specific driver it works as a generic USB sound card with the default Microsoft driver(no reinstallation required!). No special sound effects then, so not worth the extra price premium over a generic USB sound card.
<br />
<br />Too bad the poor software implementation ruined a good piece of hardware, as when it works it sounds great. | 1 | 777 days ago | poor quality, annoying driver
I purchased this product to try to get around the poor audio quality for my Dell notebook, which produces a high-pitched whine on the headphone output. While the Turtle Beach Audio Advantage does not have the whine, it does produces an audible distortion with its output. Its a buzzing, warbling sound that is correlated to the audio and which is not present when not using the normal headphone out port. I tried multiple USB ports & headphones with the same result. This is when I noticed that the driver is bound to one and only one USB port. If you switch ports, you have to uninstall the old driver, and reinstall it for the new port, and reboot! This has unintended byproduct of resetting the audio levels to maximum, which is loud enough to cause pain. This driver issue is a huge hassle with a laptop, as I have to switch between docking station and laptop USB ports, depending on if its docked or not. All in all, I am very unhappy with the product. | 1 | 777 days ago | Pops and clicks.
I bought this to replace the functionality of an onboard sound chip for my home theater PC. Unfortunately, within a day, I experienced pops and clicks during certain tones, which required a video file to be stopped and restarted to deal with. At least my onboard sound only buzzed a little - it never had these quirks. | 1 | 777 days ago | Outstanding 3D surround sound
Amazing 3D Surround sound from this little device.
<br />Makes the music sound like you're actually there. | 5 | 777 days ago | A recent technical acquisition...
I recently invested in a USB device from Turtle Beach. Sound cards used to be so big! Now, I've got a little sound card in this little USB device, with my Triport headphones plugged into them. My computer has easily accessible USB ports in its front, so now I can plug and unplug the headphones from the computer without having to reach back into the nest of wires in rear of the computer...and I can leave the aforementioned computer speakers plugged into the back of the computer, but turned off for the time being, so as to keep things quiet for the neighbours. | 5 | 777 days ago |
