ideal to connect a trrs 4-pole 3.5mm headset/ trrs mic/ speaker to pc/ laptop/ desktop/ ps4 via usb interface. Finally, ensure that Echo, Noise and AGC are on under Discord Advanced Voice processing settings if you are using it.Support wired control: gsangoo 3.5mm female to usb jack audio adapter support wire remote control signals like volume adjust, sound recording, pause/ play music, etc. Under "Levels" set volume to 100.Īfter doing these two steps my volume was pretty good after being boosted (Discord), but for games that didn't support AGC was still a tad quiet, to increase the gain precisely I followed ModMic's guide on "What to do if your ModMic is too quiet", specifically using a gain of 7.00 dB myself. IMO this is better leaving up to the particular application if needed, for example Discord can perform this far better on it's own than with assistance. This feature automatically increases and decreases the volume to create a stable output. Under the "Custom" tab in recording devices, disable "AGC" (Audio Gain Control).
In particular, this product performed exceptionally better than Syba USB Audio Adaptor which I had to refund because of how little of an improvement was felt.Īfter getting this device I recommend the following settings on Windows 10 for a more consistent sound:
Perfect for boosting the gain of an external microphone such as the Antlion Audio ModMic 5 Modular Attachable Boom Microphone without increasing the background noise excessively like my onboard audio did. If you really want a good usb sound card that works either use a high end product (like a HyperX one, I actually already had an old one lying around) or try aliexpress (will probably be cheaper too). I think its ridiculous that such products are out there and sold as top rated products on Amazon when they are straight up not fit for purpose, this wasn't even that cheap for what it is (I payed £11, which seems about right for a good quality adaptor), I will be returning this and I advise anyone else to stay well away in general. The audio output works fine, but If I just wanted audio out I would have bought something else. The computer will recognise a microphone but you literally have to yell into it for it to register the fainted sound, making it completely unusable. Both products (the other one being the still popular Techrise sound card) have the same issue, which is that the microphone jack doesn't work to an at all functional level.
This product straight up doesn't work properly, and it's not the first sound card I've bought off amazon either. The Beyerdynamic boom microphone seems to be at just about the right level. As far as I'm aware there is no way to adjust microphone gain in Android, so I suspect performance will be very dependant on the particular microphone you use. The microphone output is very clean when played back although could do with more gain. I'm using the Beyerdynamic Custom Headset Gear (2nd Gen) in conjunction with the Philips Fidelio X2 to test this. The quality appears to be absolutely fine, with no noticeable noise. When plugged in, the phone immediately switches to the external sound card and plays back audio through it (and impressively, records from the microphone port as well). In my test setup, it's connected to a (Sony XA1) phone via a (also UGREEN) type-C to type-A adapter cable. However I've ended up going for an Android-based solution instead, and to my surprise it works great here as well. I really can't fault this device it was purchased for a car-pc project that was originally going to use a Raspberry PI, with which it worked fine. IMPORTANT NOTE: This usb audio converter only supports mono microphone TRS, does NOT support TS, TRRS.
Please kindly note it only supports mono microphone TRS, it does not support TS, TRRS.
