UGREEN USB to 3.5mm Audio Adapter

Key features

This compact USB to 3.5mm audio adapter from UGREEN converts a free USB port into a functional Aux output and input, enabling headphones, headsets, and microphones to work on devices lacking a working 3.5mm jack. It is a practical solution for laptops, desktop PCs, Raspberry Pi setups, and gaming consoles where the 3.5mm port is missing or damaged. The device supports a TRRS jack, allowing both sound output and microphone input through a single connector, which is ideal for voice chats, video calls, and online gaming. Built with a high quality chipset, it delivers reliable sound clarity and stable performance, reducing background noise and preserving audio fidelity. For everyday use, this adapter is plug-and-play, driver free, and recognises the moment it is connected, offering a straightforward upgrade path without the need for extra power or complex setup. 🎧 🗣️

The essentials

The adapter plugs into a USB port and presents a dedicated 3.5mm input/output, making it compatible with a wide range of devices from Windows PCs to MacBooks, Linux machines and single board computers like the Raspberry Pi 400. It supports inline control with compatible headsets, allowing convenient volume adjustments and microphone muting directly from the headset cable. If you value clear audio for meetings, calls or gaming, this compact dongle helps you reclaim a proper audio connection where it matters most. The design emphasises durability for everyday use, with a robust housing that resists casual drops and a small footprint that stays out of the way on crowded desks.
