The LevelOne KVM-0221 is designed for users who need to manage two computers efficiently from a single workstation, offering a seamless multi-media experience with audio support. Its key benefit is consolidating control of two PCs, including audio, with a single keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speaker set. A potential caveat is its reliance on VGA for video, which might not support the highest modern display resolutions or features beyond 2048 x 1536 pixels.

No, the LevelOne KVM-0221 is USB powered and does not require a separate power adapter. It draws power from the connected computers via USB.
The KVM switch supports a maximum VGA resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels.
Yes, the KVM switch is compatible with both Windows and Mac operating systems, and includes a switching utility for both platforms.
For basic functionality, no software installation is required. It operates on a Plug-and-Play basis. However, a Windows and Mac software utility is included for enhanced features like software-based switching and hotkey configuration.
Yes, the KVM-0221 supports user-programmable simultaneous or independent PC and audio switching, allowing you to listen to music from one computer while using another.
Each computer connects via USB Type-A for keyboard and mouse, a VGA (D-Sub) port for video, and 3.5mm jacks for microphone and headphone/speaker audio.
The product description mentions 'KVM, Mini-USB' cables are included. It's important to verify if these are sufficient for connecting both computers or if additional standard KVM cables (VGA, USB, Audio) might be needed depending on your setup.
Verify that the VGA cable is securely connected to both the KVM switch and the monitor. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Check if the KVM switch is powered via USB and if the LED indicators are lit.
Ensure the USB cables for the keyboard and mouse are firmly connected to the KVM switch's console ports. Try connecting the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer to rule out peripheral issues. Restart the KVM switch by disconnecting and reconnecting the USB power.
Confirm that the audio cables are properly connected to the KVM switch and both computers. Verify that audio is enabled and configured correctly in the operating system sound settings for each PC. Ensure the correct switching method (independent or simultaneous) is selected if applicable.
Check all cable connections for tightness. Try using the software utility for switching instead of hotkeys, or vice-versa, to see if the issue persists. Ensure the KVM switch is not overheating by providing adequate ventilation.
