USB audio adapter for headset and mic

This USB audio adapter converts a USB port to 3.5mm audio connectors, letting you add a headset and microphone without unplugging other devices. It works with personal computers, laptops and PlayStation 3 consoles. The adapter replaces a failed onboard audio port or adds audio where none exists.

Plug-and-play via USB 2.0 port

Connect the adapter to any available USB 2.0 port and plug your 3.5mm headset into the provided jacks. No driver installation is required thanks to USB audio device class specification 1.0 compliance. The compact, palm sized form factor keeps adjacent ports free and suits mobile use.

Includes adapter and instruction manual

The box contains the USB to audio adapter and a printed instruction manual. No additional software or cables are bundled. The adapter provides stereo output at 48 KHz and microphone input through standard mini-jack connectors.

Questions about this item

Does the 48 kHz sample rate limit audio quality during long recording sessions?

The adapter operates at a fixed 48 kHz sample rate, which is its maximum digital audio resolution for both playback and recording.

How much heat or noise does the ICUSBAUDIOB produce when used continuously?

The device has no fan or moving parts, so it generates no audible noise and only negligible warmth during extended use.

What type of headset plug is required to use the microphone and headphone jacks?

You need a headset with standard 3.5 mm mini-jack connectors for both the microphone and headphone ports.
