UGREEN USB to Audio Jack USB External Sound Card 3.5mm Audio Adapter 2 in 1 USB A to Aux TRRS Headphone Adapter Microphone Stereo Jack Aluminum Compatible with PS5 PC Windows Mac Linux Laptop Desktop

I hate wearing bulky headsets and spent a lot of time trying to find a way to connect Apple Earpods to my desktop PC since desktops only have split headphone and microphone jacks. Almost all the standard adapters out there do not work with Apple headsets because Apple uses a modified CTIA standard. This adapter said it will work with any standard and it seems true. Both sound and microphone work, however this adapter uses a generic audio driver so there is no Microphone Boost option in Windows. The microphone volume seems quieter when I tested a recording, but when doing voice calls people have said my microphone sounds just fine. Also know any inline volume controls do not work on headsets. I am just glad I can finally use a lightweight headset on my desktop PC which works good enough for gaming chats.Also I should mention the build quality of the device, it is made of metal and seems solid. Some similar devices I've seen use a generic design and just put their brand logo on it, but this product seems unique and from a brand I have actually heard of. I would have preferred a cable adapter, but as a workaround I have a 12" USB extension cable that I plug the adapter into.

I bought this to use with my Manjaro linux desktop machine. At first I thought it didn't work, because I plugged it into the USB port and nothing showed up. I immediately started searching the web for setup / configuration info and couldn't find out how to make it work.Turns out there is a quirk of this hardware - Even if it's plugged into the USB port, it won't show up (under linux at least) until you plug in the headphones or speakers into the dongle. As soon as you plug them in, it pops right up. Works for both audio out and mic in.

I bought this so I could record two headsets on separate audio tracks, and apart from a little fuzz here and there, it sounds great!Using it as a headphone jack there's no fuzz so unsure why it only happens with microphones. So I recommend this more if you're wanting to listen rather than record. Tho also I couldn't find anything high-end that let you record 3.5 microphone headsets so this might be around the best you can do without just buying high-end microphones.

It works. Seems made of quality stuff so far.I'm using it with an inline (phone) headset plugged into my PC which is running Solus OS Linux.To get this working in Discord to speak and to listen, for example, I had to use Pulse Audio (free audio settings control program for Linux), go under Configuration settings, and, once plugged in, choose USB Audio and set it to "Analog Stereo Duplex" - "duplex" reflecting input & output (microphone and earphones), apparently.So far, so good!

You have problem when you recently update to windows 10 or 11 update and it mess up you're audio drive and your tryna fix your computer for hours get this it works specially if you're computer audio driver die or just stop working because I got this because I recently updated my computer to windows 11 and it mess up my audio drivers or the problem called " there no audio driver installed on this computer" definitely I recommend this plus it sound a little better plugged in than it is using Bluetooth I have dual Bose headphones wired and Bluetooth enabled pretty much sounds better than plugged in physically get it tho this what you need

Been using this adapter for over two years now and it still works. Good product for those who are still stuck with 3.5mm based headphone and microphone.

I tried plugging this product into both of my computers and not only does it not work, but both my computers will just act like it doesn't even exist even if I go into my sound settings and look for the "RealTek USB 2.0 Audio" (which just isn't there to begin with). If you want to save yourself a headache, I definitely would not recommend buying this product.

This is exactly what I needed. I got a gaming headset for Christmas because I like to play games on my computer but didn't have a very good working mic to talk to my friends. I was very excited to use them, but after plugging the headset into my laptop, I was disappointed to see that it wasn't getting detected by my headphone jack. After testing the headset on other computers and realizing it was my laptop's issue, I almost resorted to buying a new laptop altogether. Luckily, my brother recommended I get some sort of adapter to plug my headphones into a different port. I immediately bought this and could not be more satisfied! It's compact and was easily recognized by my laptop. It also saved me hundreds I would have spent on a new computer! I definitely recommend this product.
