PC Magazine has a review on the Hercules Muse Pocket USB external sound module . The unit of measurement offers paltry sound output , with noise hassle at -32dB and a problem shift from 5.1 way to stereo . The unit also suffers from a want of a MIDI synthesist and take third - party software to play multichannel DVDs , further hurting its claim as a 5.1 - channel machine . The Muse ’s primary focus seem to be as a VOIP gimmick , with Hercules include a headset and Skype on its software CD . The Muse ’s convenient volume and dumb controls as well as high sound calibre on calls redeem the twist at least partially , and it might make a good addition if you already have a soundcard as an out - of - the - box VOIP gadget . It ’s usable for about $ 80 .
When did that brand name get resurrected , anyway ? I used a Hercules Muse sound card over five years ago .
