It's funny, I was actually about to return this item, but I'm glad I didn't;
I originally bought this for a HyperX Cloud headset that was bleeding sound into the mic input through the Y cable splitter that came with it, and it solved the issue of the sound bleeding through the cable (even when the mic was muted) entirely. But I ended up returning that headset and purchasing a new one, this time a Coolermaster MH751. I was under the impression that my sound bleeding problem was unique to the HyperX but it wasn't; same problem with sound bleeding thru my output into my input even with my mic muted.
That's where this USB adapter comes in: It's such a godsend being able to just plug it into the front panel USB port and getting rid of all sound bleeding through the Y splitter AND it actually improved my headset sound with the built in sound card. I am extremely satisfied with this product and I would recommend it to anyone that has issues with Y splitter cables or just wants to boost their headset's audio depth with the sound card.
I managed to screw up the headphone jack on my laptop and I was afraid I would have to spend $100+ to send it off for repair. A quick search revealed this type of USB adapter which could provide me with a headphone connection. I got it a day or two ago and it worked great! It is a bit bulkier than the headphone jack itself but is less so that others I looked at. It was just what I needed!
We use ‘Skype for Business’ for phone calls. Bought Trond USB Audio Adapter to utilize opposite side of laptop as cable insert for Betron BS10 earbuds w/mic. Needed adapter to go from 3.5 aux jack to USB2.0. Audio is clear & crisp with no background noise or interference. Just what I was looking for. Use for phone conversations, not for music listening or gaming.
I buy this because the headphone jack in my MacBook Pro suddenly stops working (I tried all the fix out there: reset sound card, buy an optical cable, plug several times, use a stick food to disable the "optical sound") and so far (almost a month) the USB sound card works with same quality sound like the sound card. There is no "noise" or anything like that, is like using the original headphone jack.
Pros: Smallest sound card, great price, save money instead of "fixing the hardware"
.Cons: Nothing :-) I would love to have a "grey" version, same color like my MacBook Pro.
After my front microphone and speaker ports stopped working, I was looking for a good solution to this problem. Luckily I came across this usb audio adapter. Getting it set up was super simple, and makes using my headphones for games and work teleconferences super easy.

Description
Description:
Powered by C-Media HS-100B chipset, TROND AC2-P USB Audio Adapter is constructed of durable ABS housing, and can easily covert any existing USB port of your computer into a 3.5mm TRRS port with integrated audio OUT and microphone IN.
It bypasses a defective sound card or a broken 3.5mm audio port of your laptop/desktop system and quickly regain the audio function for you. Save the money and the hassle of replacing a faulty sound car!
Unlike the previous aluminum model (TROND AC2), TROND AC2-P combines both the audio OUT and microphone IN into one single TRRS port, instead of providing two 3.5mm jacks. It not only reduces the product size, which won't block the adjacent USB port on your computer, but also allows you to use the phone headset to listening to music, chat online, or make video conference.
Specifications:
- USB 2.0 Hi-Speed specification
- Backward compatible with USB 1.1
- Connectors: USB type-A Male to 3.5mm (1/8 inch) TRRS phone jack Female
- TRRS Standard: CTIA (NOT OMTP), which is:

Ground (Ring 2)
Microphone (Sleeve)
- Bus-powered; no external power required

- Dimension: 1.42" x 0.75" x 0.39" / 3.6 x 1.9 x 1.0cm

Remarks:
- TROND AC2-P is designed to connect your phone or gaming headset with only one 3.5mm TRRS plug to your computer. It doesn't work with old headsets with TWO 3.5mm plugs which separate audio out and microphone in;
- The USB port on PS3 does not carry audio signal. Therefore this USB audio adapter cannot be used for PS3 game audio.
- For some computers, please double click the sound icon in control panel and select "USB audio device" as the default device. Otherwise, TROND AC2-P USB Audio Adapter may not be recognized by your computer automatically.
I have an older, smaller travel laptop which had a headphone port that stopped working. Rather than try to fix it, I just plugged this device into a USB port along with some headphones, and it worked seamlessly. It took a moment for my laptop to recognize the new sound device, but once it did, I just changed it to the default on the Sound app on the Control Panel, and I was able to listen all my favorites. It is a great, inexpensive alternative to a broken headphone port.
I bought this so I could use a simple pair of headphones with a mic for voice chat in games. Windows 10 recognized it instantly and it works perfectly. The audio quality on both input and output sounds good to me.
This item works great on a couple of my Windows 7/8/10 PCs that don’t have any microphone or sound ports. I am able to use any headset or earbuds w/mic with this adapter and the sound quality is great. I used Apple headphones and several others, and they all work and sound great. You just plug it in, there is no driver to install or anything.
Works for me with both stereo headphones and headsets (headphones with microphone). Materials are good enough although I wish it was sitting in the USB port more tightly.
Great sound quality!
The headphone jack on my laptop at work is not functioning. This enables me to connect my headphones via a USB port on the laptop. Great idea, thanks....
