I bought a Beelink Minipc and it is cool and all, but there is no way to plug in external speakers with a normal jack. I decided to try this and it did the trick. It works with my Klipsch computer audio system great.

Plug play. Workds as decribed. Improved vlolume and poor conneciton issues instanyly.

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.

It worked well for a few months, but then it stopped connecting with either audio channel, and I had to pull my headphones plug part way out in order to get a complete signal. Sadly, I only unplugged and replugged it a dozen times before this happened. My headphones mostly lived at my desk plugged into this JSAUX device.Now, I have to adjust it like a teenager trying to get the airline's free headset to work.In fairness, the Chinese (based in Shenzhen) electronics company with the made-up name for Amazon had no intention of existing longer than 6 months.Next time they need to plan their product's obsolescence just a few months longer.That being said, there is an 18 month warranty policy. I'm about to try it.Will update with their response if any [emailed their support staff 2023-11-26]UPDATE: They got back to me right away, and offered me a new item. It arrived in a couple of days, and so far so good.I'm still skeptical of how long it will last, but any company that is willing to honor their warranty with very little hassle or delay should be given supported more than the companies that don't so I up'd my rating.

I looked over nearly all of the similar devices and most seemed to have too many sound quality issues reported. I was not going to be convinced by number of bits or higher price. One reviewer here (Stephen J. Boone) helped the most, but others counted. So I got it and the sound is perfection on my Sennheiser headphones. I recently purchased Neumi BS5 speakers and a Aiyima A07 mini amp for my 2019 iMac - and I couldn’t be happier with that purchase either. My headphone port is on the back of the monitor and I have it feeding into the amp. I could use the jsaux device to feed the amp (which I did) but I’m dedicating it to my headphones for easy access. I use VLC for my music app and block Apple’s Music app (with noTunes (GitHub download)) because virtually nothing it does is what I want and it is nasty, rigid, uncustomizable. I also just bought a (SmartQ H302) USB 3 hub which came the same time as the jsaux device. I have the jsaux audio adapter plugged in to the USB hub. The hub (and the iMac) will use USB 3.1 but the jsaux device is shown to run at USB 2 speeds (which is good). The jsaux device can be bought with a USB A connector ($10) or a USB C connector ($15), so there is no need for me to waste a USB C/Thunderbolt port or $5 (and both my USB C ports are already in use). Regardless, either method is obviously using USB 2 throughput. Below is system information which shows both the jsaux device (China) and my new USB hub use Realtek chips (Taiwan).[Update: I liked it so much that I bought a second one as backup so now I have both the grey and the red (both type USB A). I'm listening to the second one now and it's producing beautiful sound just like the first one. I noticed two new reviews came in in the last week and they are negative. One refers to using it with a Mac Mini - all kinds of crazy stuff going on. Don't know what to make of that. The other complains about the microphone aspect (which seems to be a customary complaint with almost every brand that I can remember reading reviews for). I haven't tested the mic functionality and I may never care. But I have a large mic - the kind with a fat plug although I should have the necessary mini adapter - but it's buried in a stuffed audio equipment box so I'm in no hurry try it. The built-in mic on my iMac is in the middle on the bottom edge of the screen and could be improved on so an external mic could be important some day. With two of the jsaux audio adapters plugged into my USB hub, they are indistinguishable in the Sound preference pane, both are only named: TX-Hifi Type_C Audio. I have to guess the right one to select. In system report->hardware->USB, they show as identical too (no surprise) but in ->hardware->Audio, TX-Hifi Type_C Audio is displayed three times when two of these are plugged-in - take out one of them and only one gets displayed - an Apple bug there.]% system_profiler SPUSBDataType USB 3.1 Bus: Host Controller Driver: AppleIntelCNLUSBXHCI PCI Device ID: 0xa36d PCI Revision ID: 0x0010 PCI Vendor ID: 0x8086 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub: Product ID: 0x0411 Vendor ID: 0x0bda (Realtek Semiconductor Corp.)

I've tested this on multiple devices, using multiple methods, on multiple speaker systems (e.g. Nintendo switch to one speaker, and wii to a different speaker), and yet NOTHING works with it. No sound whatsoever. I was better off taking the adapter off and just using an aux port.UPDATE: Decided to test it with a pair of headphones on my ps3. Believe it or not, that also didn't work.

Works great. Plug and Play.

This gadget looks cool is cheap and works almost as described at least not on android 10 as I was testing it.I'm not sure if it this behavior is specific to my use case where I was connecting it via usb hub to an android 10 phone via usb c, if you were listening to music or something where the audio is not low and never stopping it was working as expected. But if the audio you are listening has a low volume (like rain drops) or had constant pauses, you could tell the sound was cut off before the pause and then return after the pause resumed, so you would have missing words for example in a podcast or you could hear the low volume sounds like rain drops cutting off.I did not test it for pc or something else, but I have other devices like this, and they don't behave the way this one does on the same scenario.Right now, I would not recommend it for android, and I'm not sure if it would work differently on other devices.

What an excellent little device, not only is it a little bit louder but the sound in enhanced as well, I would definately buy this again that's for sure!

Marche comme je le voulais quoi

Great item - solved my Windows 10 problem. I used my 3.5 mm jack as a line out from my PC to my amp. However, installing Windows 10 destroyed my drivers and several days of system and driver updates, manual setting, rebooting and swearing did not solve the problem (W 10 could not find/recognise the output). I think I tried every possible suggested fix on line but I had to admit defeat. As it would only recognise USB inputs and outputs, this handy device has solved my problem.
