What if the Adapter Does Not Appear in My Meeting App?

Confirm that the Plugable USB Audio Adapter appears as an available input and output device in your computer's operating system before opening the meeting application.

If the adapter works in the operating system but doesn't appear in the meeting application, close and reopen the application after connecting the adapter.

Also confirm that the meeting application selects the correct microphone and speaker, since many meeting applications maintain their own audio device settings instead of automatically following the operating system default.

If the issue continues, contact Plugable Support at support@plugable.com.
