Introduction

The USB audio port board transmits audio and information from your computer to any devices that you plug into the headphone jack or USB port.

Before using this guide, check to see if there is any dust or debris in the headphone jack. Use canned air to remove anything you find. Also, try using a few different headphones/speakers. This can confirm that there is a problem with the USB audio port board and not the headphones/speaker.

Before you begin, make sure your computer is off.
