UGREEN 30724 USB 2.0 External Sound Card Adapter
The UGREEN USB External Sound Card (30724) gives a PC, laptop or PS4 separate 3.5mm headphone and microphone jacks through any USB-A port. It is the simple way to replace a broken or noisy built-in jack, or to add a proper mic input for recording and calls. A C-Media chip and multi-layer shielding keep the sound clean.
Separate green and pink jacks take your headphones or speakers and a 3-pole condenser microphone, so you can record, stream and call with the right gear.
Tinned copper wiring with aluminium foil shielding keeps hum and interference out of your audio.
16-bit audio at up to 48kHz gives clear sound for music, films, calls and games.
Bring back sound on a laptop or PC whose headphone jack crackles or has stopped working.

Add separate 3.5mm headphone and microphone connections to a compatible USB-A computer or console, or bypass a faulty built-in audio jack. The UGREEN 30724 is a bus-powered USB audio adapter with stereo output and mono microphone input. Its two sockets are designed for separate plugs, making connector type especially important when choosing a headset or microphone.
Highlights
Connection logic
Separate jacks require the correct audio plugs. Plug the USB-A connector into a compatible host, then connect headphones or powered speakers to the stereo output and a supported 3-pole TRS condenser microphone to the separate microphone input. The adapter is powered by USB and exposes an external audio device to the operating system. A single 4-pole TRRS headset plug combines headphones and microphone on one connector and does not directly match these two separate jacks. A correctly wired headset splitter may be needed, while TS 2-pole, TRRS 4-pole and dynamic microphones are not supported by the microphone input described for this model. This product is useful when a built-in computer audio jack is unavailable or damaged, but it does not repair speakers, microphones, applications or console settings. The host still needs to select the USB audio device for playback and recording.
Real-world workflows
Use scenario 1
Restore headphone and microphone connections on a laptop whose built-in 3.5mm socket is damaged.
Use scenario 2
Add separate audio jacks to a desktop, mini computer or Raspberry Pi project.
Use scenario 3
Connect compatible headphones and a separate microphone for calls, voice chat or basic recording.
Use scenario 4
Provide USB audio output for a supported PS4 or PS5 setup after selecting the adapter in console audio settings.
Step-by-step
Plug the USB-A connector into the computer or supported console.
Connect headphones or powered speakers to the green output and a compatible TRS microphone to the pink input.
Open system sound settings and select the USB/C-Media device for playback and recording.
Set a moderate volume, test playback, then check microphone input level in the calling or recording application.
On Linux, install the required supported audio driver if the adapter is not recognised automatically.
For consoles, review the console audio-device menu and remember that microphone level may be lower than on a computer.
Match the complete system
Compatibility check 1
Supported platforms include compatible Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Linux computers, Raspberry Pi systems, PS4 and PS5. Linux installations may need an appropriate C-Media USB audio driver.
Compatibility check 2
The headphone socket accepts a normal 3.5mm stereo headphone or powered-speaker plug. The microphone socket is mono and requires a compatible 3-pole TRS condenser microphone.
Compatibility check 3
A single 4-pole TRRS headset plug does not provide both functions through one socket; a suitable headset splitter may be required.
Important limitations
Use this checklist to confirm this model suits the intended job.
Safe and realistic operation
Warning 1. The microphone input is mono and connector-sensitive. Wrong plug wiring is the most common reason for missing microphone audio.
Warning 2. PS4/PS5 support can depend on console firmware and settings; UGREEN advises that microphone recording can be quieter on gaming devices.
Warning 3. Listening at high volume can damage hearing. Start low and follow the headphone manufacturer’s guidance.
Warning 4. Electrical noise can come from a host USB port, charger or nearby equipment. Test a direct computer connection before assuming the adapter is defective.
Practical first checks
In the box
Not directly for both functions. This adapter has separate headphone and microphone sockets, so a correctly wired headset splitter is normally required.
A compatible 3.5mm TRS 3-pole condenser microphone plug. UGREEN states that TS 2-pole, TRRS 4-pole and dynamic microphones are not supported.
Windows, macOS and ChromeOS normally recognise it as USB audio. Linux may require a supported C-Media audio driver.
Yes, provided the laptop has a working USB-A port and the operating system supports standard USB audio.
UGREEN lists PS4 and PS5 compatibility. Select the USB audio device in console settings; microphone input may be quieter than on a computer.
UGREEN compatibility notes say no for those device categories. Their USB ports may not expose a supported standard audio host.
Yes. The green output is stereo, while the pink microphone input is mono.
Check that the microphone is in the pink jack, uses a supported TRS plug and is selected as the recording device. Then review application permissions and input level.
Not directly. A combined 4-pole TRRS headset does not match the separate stereo-output and microphone-input jacks. A compatible headset splitter may be required.
No. The hardware provides one stereo headphone or speaker output and one mono microphone input.
The adapter itself has USB-A. A compatible USB-C host adapter may allow connection, but that adapter is not included and the host must support USB audio.
