Corn Electronics

Corn Electronics USB 2.0 stereo sound card 3.5 mm 15 cm

SKU CH-3QSK-74PAW

Adds stereo headphone and mono microphone jacks via a USB 2.0 plug with a 15 cm cable

  • Plug-and-play audio with no drivers needed
  • Adds separate headphone and microphone 3.5 mm jacks
  • USB 2.0 connection works on Windows, Mac and PS4
  • 15 cm cable keeps the adapter close to the port
  • C-Media chipset provides stereo output and mono input

External USB stereo sound adapter

The Corn Electronics USB 2.0 adapter adds a 3.5 mm headphone output and a 3.5 mm microphone input to any device with a USB port. It draws power from the bus and uses a C-Media chipset that works without extra drivers on Windows, Mac OS 8.6 or later, Linux and PS4. A 15 cm cable keeps the dongle close to the host.

Users with a broken jack or no audio port

This adapter suits anyone whose built-in 3.5 mm socket has failed or whose ultra-thin laptop omits audio connectors entirely. It also helps streamers who need a quick second headset connection. Buyers who require surround sound, optical output, hardware mixing or a longer reach should look at something else.

USB 2.0 interface with 15 cm lead

The single specification that decides fit is the USB 2.0 male plug paired with a 15 cm tether. If your only free port is USB 3.0 the adapter still functions, but the short cable may not reach rear-panel ports on a tower chassis without an extension.

Questions about this item

What USB connector and cable length does this sound card use to reach the computer?

It connects with a USB 2.0 male plug on a 15 cm cable, so the adapter sits close to the port.

After plugging it in, which system setting must be changed so audio actually routes through the adapter?

Open the sound control panel, select the C-Media USB Headset as the default playback and recording device, then adjust volume in both the OS and the application.

Which jack on the adapter will need attention if the microphone input stops working after extended use?

The pink 3.5 mm female microphone jack is the only analogue input; if it fails the whole adapter must be replaced.
