Additional equipment is required to use headphones via the USB interface. Also, there are often problems with the software, because it can be very difficult to find it on the Internet.
It is necessary
- - signal converter;
- - removable sound card.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase a device that converts the digital signal from the USB port to the analog signal that headphones normally work with. This device is called a digital-to-analog converter, in this case a USB interface. This is due to the fact that audio devices are only able to perceive the analog signal coming from a player or sound card, while the USB interface works in a completely different way. Such devices can be purchased at computer stores, radio sales points, and so on.
Step 2
It is best to use quality devices so as not to damage your computer ports and headphones. The digital-to-analog converter in this case will be slightly larger than your usual flash card.
Step 3
Find drivers for your converter on the Internet; it is best to search thematic forums. Most likely, they were previously written by users of this device.
Step 4
If you don’t find the software you want, you will have to write it yourself using C programming skills. The usual superficial knowledge will not be enough here, since the job requires you to have professional level skills. If you do not have any, you can also use an alternative method.
Step 5
Find special devices in the form of a flash card in computer stores in your city, which are a removable USB sound controller. In most cases, they already contain drivers inside the card and only work with headphones and speakers. They are also often used when recording sound from a microphone in cases where replacing the internal sound card is impossible. This option is much more convenient than the previous one, but it is bad in that it has a fairly limited number of applications.
