The Plugable USB Audio Adapter (USB-AUDIO) is an easy way to instantly add a headphone and microphone jack to almost any USB-enabled PC or laptop.
Compact and durable, the adapter installs without needing additional drivers. Simply plug the adapter in, set it as your default device, and listen to your favorite tunes and record with ease!
This adapter is a great option if you have a system with broken audio jacks, where speakers aren’t available, or where a USB solution would be more convenient. The adapter is an affordable alternative to hiring a technician, replacing computer parts, or buying a new PC or laptop.
A perfect companion for desktops and laptops, this USB audio adapter also shines with development boards like Raspberry Pi, and Beaglebone, where convenient audio access may be needed.
This small and simple plug-and-play adapter adds audio to your computer right away, with no additional drivers necessary!
After receiving the audio adapter, simply plug it into your desired system. Go to your Control Panel, Settings, or System Preferences and set the USB audio device as the default input and output device. You may also need to set the “Plugable USB Audio” as the default device in specific apps such as Discord, Skype, and Audacity.
Depending on your platform, this adapter can add audio output, but the microphone input may not work.
Please note that cars and TVs are not compatible with this adapter, and that in some scenarios the USB-AUDIO can add audio output, but not audio input.
