    ok, so this does what it is supposed to do. i put it between my mixer, and computer. no problems, i can listed to it through the head phone jack... i can also use by plugging my turntable into it, and convert vinyl to mp3. but the real beauty with this device is how well it works with computers. i can use it on windows, them go to my buddy's place who has a mac, and use it, with out installing anything. but one thing it does that the box doesn't say, is that it works with linux. i can plug it into my laptop with ubuntu 10.10, and it shows up, with nothing to install, and i can start recording. nice touch.

    This unit is fine if you want to do a quick recording or want a cheap interface for a home studio. However, be aware that it doesn't record the left and right channels evenly.

    This unit always records the left channel slightly louder than the right channel.

    I got my first UCA222 and experienced this phenomon and, thinking it might just be a malfunction of that particular box, I took it back to the store and got a new one. The replacement works in the exact same way.

    To make sure it wasn't the audio source, I recorded different audio sources, incluiding a microphone run from a mixer.

    To make sure it wasn't the cable, I swapped the inputs... plugging the right into the left, and the left into the right.

    To make sure it wasn't the operating system, I tried more than one operating system.

    In each instance, the left channel recorded louder than the right, showing the problem to be the UCA222 box itself. I tried contacting Behringer about the issue, but they seem very slow to respond.

    So in summary, the box records unevenly. It's slight, often .3 to .5 decibles difference, but it's still uneven. It may be worth your time and money to buy something else.
    Pretty straight-forward feature set. Two RCA ins, two RCA outs, a headphone monitor jack, an optical out, and a USB plug.

        Comments about Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface:

        I have been using these sound card s for years now. In fact I got my first one free with a purchase of something, and have purchase several of them dow thru the years. They are grewat for the price. I now have 5 computers that I use for audio and video production for my internet radio station, and use one for each computer. I have also used them for home studio recording and they sound great. If you need a great sound card and don't want to spend alot of money, these are the ones.

          Comments about Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface:

          I am using an Asus Eee notepad and Sonar to play midi sequences I've created for live shows. The Asus audio was unusable for playing accompanying audio and I thought my idea was done. Then I find this little gem. Plugged it in, a couple USB driver bleeps later Im playing my audio into the mixer and all is right with the world. Low price for an audio interface; Terrific.
          almost perfect... wish the inputs could be 1/4"

          Does what it is supposed to do

          By Fergiemiester

          from California

          Comments about Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface:

          OUTSTANDING! For the price. Got it with some equipment I bought a long time ago and didn't need to use it until I started having problems with the front end to my PC. I plugged in the little dude and it did exactly what it advertised. Got my tracks right into the sound card and even connected other RCA devices to allow me to listen to movies, music, etc. just as if I had bought a really expensive audio adapter.

          The Energy XT or whater, was pretty useless as far as I could tell. Very complicated and it didn't recognize half of my VSTs. It didn't automatically recognize MIDI either and it was really difficult to track in stereo mode.

          Anyway, I upgraded my front end, but really liked the UCA222 when I used it.

          Seriously, if you want to get some basic tracks into your PC or want to restore vynal records etc. this little dude is ideal....and CHEAP compared to other products.

          Comments about Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface:

          Really great product for the money! it installed itself as soon as i plugged it in and it was set to go. I bought it because my mic input stopped working and i decided to get this because i needed a cheap way to get back to my home recording and it is more than perfect. I simply plugged my mixer to the input on the audio interface and it worked perfectly. Bottom line, a really easy to use audio interface for a good price.

          I thought it was good....

          from Danville,VA

          Comments about Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface:

          Over all, I think it's a POS. save you money, and get something good.
          I got this Christmas of last year...and I used it right away. It worked pretty well for a while, and I even used it as a soundcard for my computer, which has a fried soundcard. Recently, while trying to record, I saw that my computer did not recieve signal from the interface. Now, not only will it not work, but Behringer is ignoring my emails about support. This only intensifies my dislike of Behringer, and I know will spend a little extra and get something worthwhile, like a Peavey or a Mackie mixer/interface. I might also add that I have been burned on everything Behringer I ever bought, whether it be a bass amp or a guitar effect. No more, Behringer has permenantly lost my business.
          It's cheaply built, and is quite easy to break
          It's great...if it works

          Comments about Behringer U-CONTROL UCA222 USB Audio Interface:

          A great unit for feeding stereo tracks into a computer. Not great for overdubbing/multitracking. There is a slight latency that does not go away even after using asio4all,and behringer's downloads too. But if you have stereo tracks that you want to feed into your daw, this is it. If you want to multitrack, you will need a different interface.
