USB-C audio adapter for headsets

The Sabrent AU-UCMA adds a stereo headphone output and a mono microphone input to any device with a USB-C port. It works on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPadOS, iOS and Android without driver installation. The bus-powered aluminium dongle measures 1.1 by .8 by .5 inches and weighs .03 kg. It replaces a missing or faulty 3.5 mm combo jack on modern laptops, tablets and phones.

24-bit 96 kHz conversion with 110 dB SNR

The internal chip handles 16- and 24-bit depth at sample rates up to 96 kHz, exceeding the common 16-bit 44 or 48 kHz limit of basic adapters. Signal-to-noise ratio reaches 110 dB, giving clean playback and recording headroom for voice chat, streaming or field capture. The microphone jack is mono only, so stereo line-in sources are not supported.

Upgrade from passive USB-C dongles or missing ports

This adapter replaces passive USB-C to 3.5 mm cables that rely on the host's analog output, which many recent devices lack. It also supersedes older USB-A sound cards when the computer only offers USB-C. The jump is worth it when you need guaranteed 24-bit 96 kHz performance and a dedicated mono mic input on a USB-C-only system.

Questions about this item

Will the AU-UCMA work with my older headset that uses dual 3.5mm plugs?

The adapter provides one stereo headphone output and one mono microphone input, each on a separate 3.5mm jack, so a headset with dual plugs connects directly.

How can I confirm the AU-UCMA is running at its highest quality after plugging it in?

Open your system sound settings, choose the Sabrent device, and check that the format lists 24-bit and 96 kHz for both playback and recording.

Does the AU-UCMA come with any extra cables or do I need to buy a USB-C extension separately?

The box contains only the adapter itself with its integrated USB-C cable; no additional cables are included, so a USB-C extension would be a separate purchase if you need more reach.
