Does what it's supposed to do
This is my first audio interface, and it works.
Although, it has some problems:
1.If you want to use direct monitoring, you have to deactivate all of the other sound devices. Which is a bit annoying.
2. When you insert a dynamic microphone and turn the gain on, the gain increases steadily. But when you reach gain-level 9 the sound suddenly goes from quiet to really loud. I am not sure if this would be the same with a condenser microphone.
Now, you get what you pay for. The housing is made out of plastic, so be careful not to drop this. The interface has the basic features you need to get started with your home studio.
Conclusion: It's okay.

Be aware when buying this!
I purchased this audio interface to use with a microphone.
Upon arrival, everything seemed fine. However, after installing the drivers from their website, the audio interface didn't function properly. There was no input or output, and only a loud, high-pitched sound coming from the output, input was quiet.
I'm running the audio interface on Windows 11 (23H2), which is supposedly supported according to their website. When I contacted support about this issue, they responded by saying they would escalate it to their technical team for further investigation. Unfortunately, it has been two months since then, and there has been no update to the drivers. The only change has been to the driver download website.
Without the drivers, the product does work. However, I'm not satisfied with how the audio peaks and becomes extremely loud when the gain is set to 10 (maximum) compared to 9.
I haven't tested the guitar input, as I don't have any guitars to try with.
I have an AMD chipset (Ryzen 5 5600X) and an AMD GPU (RX 6600). I've tried many online troubleshooting methods, but to no avail. I have to use the interface without drivers to this day.
In conclusion, if you have similar specifications, I'd recommend being careful before purchasing this product.

Quality interface
Perfect price-to-performance interface. I am using it with Stingray's 5 active electronics, nice dynamics and clear tones on output, no cracking, just need to be gentle with output knob; should be very precise becuse of active bass output. Using it with Presonus Artist in line-out and all recordings going great, easily to set it up in operating system too.

Was hoping for better
Looking at the reviews, I had hopes for this to be an inexpensive interface that my partner could use for streaming purposes. After a few months of use, we've decided to replace it for a few reasons:
- Noise: The Mic input on this is very noisy. It also struggles with powering the e845, it would result in cranking the gain all the way to max just to be able to hear
- quality: while I get it is a budget interface, the quality of it is less than what I was expecting. It feels cheaper than what I would have expected, even at this price range

Decent interface but has unexpected issues
I got this interface a few months ago and have been using it since. I have no prior experience with interfaces, but I am a musician and can say that it sounds quite good. My only complaint is that I have had it make very weird clicking noises on some occasions, and I've had cases where the interface would start crackling whenever I am playing something (like a backing track) from USB on my computer and simultaneously playing something on my guitar through the interface, which is quite frustrating.
Other than that the build quality is not bad, the knobs feel really nice and the plastic doesn't feel cheap. The jack connectors and the switches are nice and sturdy.

Good sound!!
This is my first audio interface! Previously, I had no experience with audio interfaces, so I'll write based on a week's experience. Record digital piano, keys and bass via line. The sound is good and no noise! I can't say anything about the sound of a microphone or some software like ASIO. I took it not for such purposes

Awesome first studio gear!
Bought it a couple months ago and been using it almost every day. Knobs feel good, looks good on the desk and sounds good.
Best bang for your buck!
Definitely a go-to if you're just starting out or if you're just playing on your own and want to experiment with different stuff!!!

Great audio interface, serves its purpose really well. Had an annoying problem once with drivers and audio but fixed it somewhat easily. No complaints whatsoever.
