Troubleshooting

No audio output from headphones/speakers.

Ensure the converter is selected as the default playback device in your operating system's sound settings. Check that the headphones/speakers are correctly plugged into the green audio output jack and are functioning properly. Try a different USB port.

Microphone not working or poor audio quality.

Verify that the microphone is plugged into the pink microphone input jack. In your operating system's sound settings, ensure the "USB Audio Device" (or similar) is selected as the default recording device and that microphone input is not muted and volume is set appropriately. Test the microphone with a different application or device if possible.

Device is not recognized by the computer.

Unplug the converter and plug it back into a different USB Type-A port. Restart your computer and try connecting the device again. Ensure your operating system is up to date.

Intermittent audio or static.

Check for potential interference from other USB devices or cables. Ensure all audio cable connections are secure. Try using the converter with a different USB port or a powered USB hub.
