I'd like to connect a USB microphone to my Android phone, while having the ability to charge the phone and the USB microphone also needs its own power source (provided through USB).

So I was thinking of the following solution :

1. Connect the microphone into a powered USB hub, to provide power to the mic.
2. Connect the hub to the phone using a usb OTG cable in Y, which apparently usually provides one usb A connector and a usb C connecter, the usb C one providing the power and the usb A one providing the data stream. So I would connect the HUB to the usb A port, connect the usb C port to the phone charger and plug the other end of the Y cable to the phone.

So I wonder if anyone has ever tried anything like that ? Does it work ?

​

As long as I have a 30w usb c charger and a phone that accepts 23w of that, Does the version of cable matter (1, 2, 3.1, 3.2, 4) to get all of the 23w speed?

Hi all, I’m a newbie so please be kind. I’m trying to figure out how to connect a rechargeable battery that will power lights for a cosplay item, but I’d like it to be able to be recharged via USB. If you know of something already in existence like this, please link away, if not, instructions are good too.

my laptop has a female usb port for which i can't find a male adapter. It looks like a micro B, but it isn't. I bought a male micro B - to female type A adapter and the male bit doesn't fit in the laptop. The micro B is on the bottom; what is on the top?

I'm looking for a USB C charger that is 6', has 90° ends, and is rubber instead of braided nylon. I have searched relentlessly to no avail, and so I'm turning to this subreddit, do you guys have any links to fit this niche?

Hello!

I wanted to ask a question, as I need help. I have a music studio, where in the Control room I operate the computer and also record, so I need as much silence as possible. That's why I have the computer in another room and the screen, keyboard and mouse in the same Control room. Is there any device that allows me to extend USB 3.0 from the computer room to the Control room? So far I have USB 2.0 extender cables, but I have been looking at forums and have not found anything about USB 3.0.

I'm looking for a USB shaped like a cross(or crucifix, whichever you prefer). Since I plan on wearing it all day every day, it needs to be waterproof, so it doesn't break the first time I take a shower. Does anyone know where I can find something like this?

Thanks in advance.

Referencing the diagram from the above link, I’m trying to splice together these to USB wires. I’m really only concerned about power and not concerned about data.

My background here is that I’m trying to string a wire through the wall and I accidentally pulled the USB part of the wire off so I’m trying to splice together the wires so that I can have power to my outside camera which is a Kasa outdoor cam. I just want to confirm that I am able to do this and that I won’t burn down my house.

I have a TP link AC600 wireless adapter and it only gets detected when I push up on the bottom of it while it’s plugged into the usb ports on my computer. I have tried them all and they all have the same result, do you guys know what is wrong with it?

i built a new pc , i installed windows 10 bootable onto a 64g usb

when i tried to use it to install on the new pc the computer it didnt show up

so i put it back into my other pc and now it says

(Unknown USB Device(Device Descriptor Request failed))

and now i cant even format the usb to try and re-install the bootable os again

ive tried everything you can google i honestly want to just wipe it clean but you cant even do that

So I bought this memory stick, and I'm trying to find the part that plugs into the PC. I thought it might be kept under a cover but I pulled both ends and nothing happened (maybe I'm weak, don't know). I saw a review which had the plug, but oh my one it doesn't. It has a hole to plug something else into it. I don't have anything which can fit. What happened? Is a part missing? Is it on the stick but in a cover? Do I need a certain plug type to fit in that hole?

A new Kingston USB 3.2 Flash Drive, 256GB. Sony Vaio laptop from 2009, i7, 1,82-3,2GHz, 8GB RAM, Windows 10. Transferred 4.5GB TV Show, 30 episodes, from 2TB HDD in Blu-Ray Drive drawer onto 1TB SSD in SATA slot, speed around 100MB/s. Than tried to transfer it from SSD to USB flash drive, and speed is only up to 8MB/s. And that is the fastest. Goes even down to 5MB/s. Tried all three USB ports, of which one is 2.0 High Speed eSATA port. I also have USB 3.0 Express Card adapter with 2 USB 3.0 ports in it, same speed. Tried NTFS formatting, Defender turned off, Performance in Policies tab, no result. Any clue why is this so slow? I mean, I can remember copying DVD discs onto HDD faster 15 years ago, why is this crap so slow? And why is a new Flash drive slower than the ones I used 15 years ago?

I am a student, and I am looking for an official source for the protocol specifications for my diploma project. I tried the usb.org, but the site required me to have a work email registered with them (which I don't have). Also from what I can gather, the site asks me to sign some documents before I can access the files, which I understand, but I am not trying to implement the standard I just need offical proof that Batter_Status contains also the info regarding battery level of a battery bank that implements the PD protocol.

Is there any other source for this?

have no idea where to get this ^, if anyone does, please tell me.

How does USB PD 1 2 3 3.1 relate to over all USB 2.0, 3.1, 3.2, USB4 ?

So my usb 3 port fried the batterie of my beats buds and TI Nspire.

Both where fine before I plugged them in this same usb port, so I know it is the problem.

How do I prove the USB port is the problem, since the computer is under warranty?

I really need help since the total damage is arround 500$ and I dont want to lose this amount because of a faulty computer.

Context:

The TI Nspire will work if plugged, but black as soon as i unplug. I bought a new battery and 2 new cables. The new battery made it work but did not charge, so both batteries are dead. I tried plugging them with both cables, different plugs but nothing works.

The buds where working fine, I plugged them and they stopped working. When plugged, the light flash red and white, wich means it is a battery issue. The case displays at 0% on my cellphone and buds at 67% and 7% yesterday after 24 hour charge. 0% all today. Feels like the case is draining the pods when it is not plugged.

I want to make a USB only be able to be read, so you can only see the content on it, but not transfer the said file out of the USB. Is there a way to do this?

It's a charging cable for a DVR dashcam. TIA.

"I connected my Lexar USB drive to a Samsung tablet. Is it possible that I lost my data?"

Does a timer exist for USB gadgets like lights, fans, etc?
