usb-a to 3.5mm Female Adapter

Worked as expected. Allowed putting speaker cable in the back of PC that only has a port on the front. The volume could be louder.

I'm very happy with this JSAUX USB to 3.5mm jack audio adapter. I got an older laptop from my son so my 10-year-old could play a network game with me and my wife. However, the laptop said "No Audio Output Device is installed, which makes gameplay a problem. My son suggested an adapter like this, but I was skeptical about it working. I ordered this JSAUX item because I already own a couple of JSAUX cables and was impressed with the quality. This one is no exception and, most importantly, when I plugged it in it was recognized right away and the sound is working. My son explained that the USB controller will recognize an audio output like this and will output the audio as if I had an audio card. So, for only $8 this device solved a problem that would have taken me hours to try to figure out.

Upgraded to win11, Lenovo P52, Sennheiser H280 cans connected via 3.5mm jack to laptop, had wow and flutter but more aggravating was that audio volume would abruptly go to "11" for tens of milliseconds to seconds then drop back to normal volume. Risk of hearing damage if this happens a lot, these are quality cans. Audiophiles would cringe at the wow and flutter which is truthfully irritating but I could tolerate it.Lots of fix suggestions out there, consumes a lot of time experimenting, helped to some degree but I did not reach a working solution and Microsoft and/or Lenovo has yet to come up with a driver solution.However-- found that USB headphones work fine, it is just the audio driver to 3.5mm output.So tried this solution, USB to 3.5mm to Sennheiser HD280. Problem solved without wasting a lot of time fiddling with arcane Win controls, or tolerating ear blasting audio, or using inferior USB headphones.Pros:-- seems well constructed, flexible-- solves Win11/Lenovo driver problem, the primary objective of this purchaseCons:-- not gold plated like the Sennheiser plug, so that there is sometimes noise when connector is moved. Might have long term degradation (loss of a channel for instance).If you have the Win11 3.5mm audio problem, this is the easiest solution without spending hours searching out and experimenting with Win audio controls. Sure, it costs a few dollars, but what is your time worth?

It is a good item and works just fine.

This adapter converts a wired (4 pole plug) headset into a full USB headset. This is useful for those of us that already own the wired headset and want to use it on a computer via USB.In my case I already owned the wired headset I was using with my XBox (plugged into one of the console's game controllers), but I also wanted a headset for use with my computer (on zoom meetings). I considered buying a 2nd (USB this time) headset for that purpose, but this adapter was much cheaper than a full headset, and also had the advantage of less clutter on my desk than a 2nd headset would bring. So I decided to get this adapter and give it a try.The adapter just arrived, but so far the results have been pretty much what I expected. In particular, my chromebook (computer) automatically saw the headset (via this adapter) as two new audio devices (i.e. the microphone and speakers on the headset). So it was trivial to select the headset speakers and microphone in my test zoom session. I was also able to select the headset as my main audio output device, and then watch a YouTube video via those private listening "speakers". All of this was accomplished simply by plugging this adapter into a USB hub that was connected to my chromebook. So yes, this device does appear to correctly convert a wired headset into a full USB headset.Now, I did test this adapter (with the headset hooked up to it) with my XBox, but this did not work. However, since XBox lacks audio drivers for USB devices this "failure" was expected (and the "fault" of the XBox, not this adapter). As a result, I will have to unplug my headset from this adapter and move it to one of my game controllers on those few occasions when I want the headset with my Xbox. However this should be very fast to do, and most times I'll probably just leave the headset plugged into this adapter (since I expect to have more need of the headset on my computer, than I'll need it on my XBox).
