Frequently Asked Questions - USB-3.5 CRUX

What is the CRUX USB-3.5 adapter used for?

The CRUX USB-3.5 is an audio adapter that allows you to connect a device with a 3.5mm audio jack (headphones, speakers) to a USB-A port on a computer or other USB host device.

Is the USB-3.5 plug and play?

Yes, it supports plug and play and typically does not require any additional drivers. It should be recognized automatically by Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Does the adapter support microphone input?

No, the CRUX USB-3.5 is a headphone/speaker adapter only. It does not have a microphone input. For mic support, a separate adapter with TRRS connector is needed.

Why is there no sound coming from my device?

Check that the adapter is fully inserted into the USB port. Ensure the 3.5mm plug is secure. Verify that the computer's sound output is set to the USB audio device. Try a different USB port.

Can I use this adapter with a gaming console?

It may work with consoles that support USB audio, such as PlayStation 4/5 or Xbox One (with a firmware update). However, compatibility is not guaranteed. It is primarily designed for computers.

What is the maximum audio quality supported?

The adapter supports standard 16-bit/44.1kHz CD-quality audio and above. It can handle up to 24-bit/96kHz depending on the source.

How do I clean the adapter?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquids or solvents. For the connectors, use a contact cleaner if needed.

Does the adapter work with Android phones?

Android devices with USB OTG (On-The-Go) support and a USB-A port may work. You may need an OTG cable if your phone uses USB-C.

What is the warranty period?

The CRUX USB-3.5 comes with a 1-year limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Can I use a 3.5mm headset with microphone on this adapter?
