Samsung audio 3.5mm audio dongle/DAC - works fine in Windows 10

[Expansion]

Hey guys,

I want to make this work also on Windows 7, if possible.

This is the product: USB-C Headphone Jack Adapter Mobile Accessories - EE-UC10JUWEGUS | Samsung US
In Windows 7, it presents itself as: "Samsung Type-C to 3.5pi gender adapter"
But device manager also specifies: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

On Windows 10, it seems to use this one automatically: AudioEndpoint.inf

MSFT.AudioEndpoint = "Audio Endpoint"


;Non-Localizable Strings

REG_MULTI_SZ = 0x00010000

I tried to add this AudioEndpoint.inf as driver in Windows 7, but it doesn't see it.

Any ideas?

To start, what is the make and model of your computer please?

There is no specific brand of computer. It's a DIY. But it doesn't matter, that dongle is an USB dongle and we should focus on it.

Hi

As its a C type USB device, the PNP drivers are not included within the W7 OS driver library
@SIW2 might be able to assist
(added to signature??)


had a look at the reviews for this device ...... there pretty poor

They sell a whole plethora of this type of USB C audio adapter on Amazon which are a lot better.

If you're just looking for a small USB audio adapter, I bought ten of 'em on eBay for around twenty bucks $20. Here's what I bought, not exactly from that seller though.


Why did I buy ten of them? Who doesn't want 70.10 audio in their TV room? LOL!

Just kidding. It was for a project. HAHA
