I’m fairly sure there should be an option to select what type of unit is being plugged in and how it should behave (enable/disable microphone, disable other audio output etc) in the Win10 sound settings. I don’t have my laptop with me at work to show you, but I could possibly post a screenshot of the menu when I get home.

Let me get a few things straight though.

  • When you plug the USB-C to 3,5 adapter in, you have no sound whatsoever, be it on headphones or internal speakers?
  • I know you wrote motherboard, but just to be sure, are you using a PC or laptop?
  • Is the dongle recognized as a combined audio/mic? I get this impression because you mentioned headset.
  • What type of headphone / headset are you plugging in?

I’ll check in on this thread in 5 or so hours when I get off my shift.

thank for the replay Ahobaka

when i’m plug the usb-c my PC just detect it but nothing change. I have to plug my headphone to adapter jack first to let the apple adapter show up(and it auto change the playback to it) on lower left area(I mean where you select playback device) and it have no any sound in this playback so I have to change the playback back to realtek audio .sorry if i’m answer not good enough. and I don’t have speakers
