USB-C to 3.5mm not working after some time

[Bojan Kolarovski]

I bought a Samsung USB-C to 3.5mm adapter couple of weeks ago, it was working just fine until 2-3 days ago. I tried to disable USB audio routing in the developer options as well... Tried my 3.5mm jack on the laptop, it's working just fine! Does anyone know what should be the issue? Note: bought a cheap $2 USB-C to 2x USB-C adapter/splitter (charging+music) and the usbc to 3.5 stopped working after that.

Can you clarify -- have you tested the adapter on another device? (When you mentioned trying the 3.5 mm jack on your laptop, I assume you were trying to test your headphones on it, rather than the adapter.)

Hey Diddy, I tried the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter on another phone as well, no luck, meaning it's something going on with the adapter... (when I put the headphone's/stereo's 3.5mm jack anywhere else it works just fine, without the adapter, as I said on my laptop) I'm posting pics of both the adapter and the shtty $2 USB-C splitter that I think broke it somehow

The adapter itself might have just coincidentally failed. Where did you buy it from? I'd try contacting them and asking for a replacement or refund. Then get another adapter and see if it fails again.

I'll definitely check with the store, it was not that expensive tho ($10), but it drives me crazy not having the ability to play on my stereo . I hope I'll survive for a couple of days until the 4a 5G arrives (luckily it has a 3.5mm jack) LOL. Thanks, Diddy!

Yeah holy crap I got an original Samsung USB-C to 3.5mm and it worked at first. Now, like a year later, I plug it in and the audio skips on both my 21+ and my Tab S6 (almost makes me wish I got the lite for the headphone jack, but I liked the Non-lite battery life)

One of the members seems to like Cublix products so I'll probably end up getting this
