Compact DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter with audio

The StarTech.com DP2VGAA converts a DisplayPort source to a VGA display while adding a separate 3.5 mm stereo output. It supports up to 1920x1200 or 1080p resolution and fits in a short 8-inch cable. The 20-pin male DisplayPort plug connects directly to a laptop or desktop, and the 15-pin high-density D-Sub female port accepts a standard VGA cable. A 3.5 mm mini-jack provides analogue audio for speakers or headphones.

Suits users linking modern laptops to legacy

Ideal for anyone connecting a DisplayPort-equipped notebook such as an HP EliteBook Folio 9470m to an older VGA projector or screen while also routing sound to an external audio device. It also works when the computer’s own audio jack is damaged or blocked. Buyers who need digital video outputs such as HDMI or DVI, or who require resolutions above 1920x1200, should look at a different converter.

Plug-and-play with no drivers required

Installation is straightforward: insert the DisplayPort plug, attach a VGA cable to the female port, and connect audio through the 3.5 mm jack. The adapter draws power from the DisplayPort connection so no external supply is needed. The short cable keeps the setup tidy but may limit placement if the source and display ports are far apart; a longer VGA cable can bridge the gap.
