Replace a Faulty Port

This USB audio adapter adds a stereo headphone output and a mono microphone input through a single USB 2.0 connection. It is aimed at users whose built-in audio jack has failed or who need a simple external sound solution for a headset. The 15cm cable keeps the dongle close to the laptop or desktop without excess slack. No driver installation is required on the listed operating systems.

Upgrade from Broken Audio

The adapter replaces a damaged 3.5mm combo port or a malfunctioning internal sound card on Windows, Mac, Linux or PS5. The jump is worth it when the original jack produces static, no output or no microphone recognition. It supports mono TRS microphones only and does not work with TS or TRRS plugs. PS3 is explicitly not supported.

Fit into a Build

A free USB 2.0 Type-A port is the only hardware requirement. The device draws power from the bus so no external supply is needed. It frees up the system's native audio circuitry and lets you keep using existing 3.5mm headphones, headsets or speakers. The short cable suits desktop towers and laptops alike without blocking adjacent ports.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 15 cm cable and USB 2.0 plug need behind my PC or console?

The adapter has a 15 cm cable ending in a USB 2.0 male connector, so allow roughly that length plus the plug depth behind the port.

Do I need drivers, or is it just plug the USB in and connect the 3.5 mm headphone and mic jacks?

It is driver-free on Windows, Mac, Linux and PS5; insert the USB 2.0 plug, then connect headphones to the green 3.5 mm jack and a mono TRS microphone to the pink 3.5 mm jack.

Will the gold-plated USB contacts or the C-Media chipset need cleaning or replacement over time?

No maintenance is required; the gold fingers resist oxidation and the C-Media chipset is solid-state with no moving parts to wear out.
