The AXAGON ADA-17 MINI USB HQ audio adapter easily and quickly adds an external USB sound card to your computer.

The miniature sound card is suitable for both desktop and laptop computers and allows stereo headphones, microphones or headsets to be connected for Skype, Zoom, MS Teams services etc. It also serves well as a replacement for the broken original sound card in your notebook and replace headphones output or microphone input.

The installation can be handled by everyone - only plug the adapter into the USB port of the computer and the rest is done automatically.
