Weak.
I bought this after spending the last 2 years using the Tascam US-122 to do recordings of my regular band on Cakewalk Home Studio. I wanted something cheap and easy for doing home recording in a similar fashion. A hundred bucks for a basic unit sounded like a good deal. I also have a musician friend who has a similar unit and his works well enough with Guitar Tracks 2, so I figured "Why not?"
So I buy it and bring it home. Install was easy enough on my dual-core P4 with 2G of ram with over 150G of free disk space.
Problem #1, as has been noted earlier, is that you can only monitor the thing using the headphones jack. Say what? You're telling me the line outs don't send the signal thru to my sound card? Nope.
As annoying as that was, Problem #2 was the kicker and the reason this is going back to the store tomorrow morning. I plugged in my DR-660 to lay a couple test tracks. Stereo out from the drum machine, with a 2-to-1 1/4 stereo cable going into the unit. Stereo input? Guess again. Only worked if I yanked one of the jacks. I plugged in my cheesy guitar fx box with single 1/4 stereo out and set the flange to cycle L to R. Nope - mashed it all into single channel mono with no panning.
What's the point? If I wanted to do crappy scratch work, I'd have dusted off my old 4-track. At least that takes stereo.
Don't buy this. Blow the extra $50 and get something with stereo ins from a reputable brand. Tascam's getting my money. M-Audio will never see my cash again.

not too shabby
we used this to record a live acoustic show one night. We hooked it directly to the board and then to the laptop. Honestly, it was worth the 100 bucks. The recording is as good as you would get going to a studio and paying 400 bucks for studio time. It was 100 bucks and now you can record or use it for demos (as we do) to send to bars for gigs. Definatly worth the investment...

Only good if you're not serious about recording
You really need to know what you're getting and decide what you're after. I got it in my beginner stages of recording, and it worked for what I wanted. Now that I've learned that I can get sooo much better quality, I wish I had invested in something more middle road. Even just anything powered and with some sort of pre-amplification. The good side is that since it isn't powered you can take it anywhere easily. But get something better for any serious recordings. P.S. - it really likes to confuse your computer so beware. It has to act as your sound card whenever its plugged in, and by the time you've plugged your speakers up to it(rigged it) and adjusted your output levels, your itunes stops working or your recording software shuts down because it doesn't know which sound card is boss. So use it sparingly.

A great piece, for the musician on a budget
I bought this M-Audio Box, because I had a strong desire for recording but didn't have very much cash to spend. When I hooked it up, with my newly purchased condenser microphone, I was highly impressed by the sound quality this box delivered. I got warm and crisp sounds that were just right for my vocals and guitar. I couldn't ask for more from a recording box at this price. A must have for the intermediate musician. Also -Built in pre-amp saves you a bundle. BUY IT!!!

Appears to be low priced, Not worth the money
I came across this audio interface at Best Buy, thinking that it had a good price at a good quality. I realized that I was wrong when I bought it and took it home. I plugged it in to the USB port on my computer, plugged in my headphones to check the feedback levels, they were absolutely terrible, and I had not even plugged in my mic yet! Then i plugged in the mic and still had feedback. This peace of junk is definitely going back to the store tomorrow. It may appear to be a bargain, but don't waste your money that plastic peace of junk.
