I have several usb cables. One cable is from a computer mouse and the other is from a usb extension cord.
Can these cables be an acceptable replacement for audio cable?
What inexpensive cable options would you recommend for a replacement?
You could but it would be an utter pain in the ass and might not work 100% as it was before it broke because the thickness of the wires are different and USB isn’t just 1. It’s 3 and they’re so thin, you’d need to braid them together.
If the plug broke, you couldn’t replace the audio’s connector with a USB connector.
Unless the audio device is also USB. Then it shouldn’t be much issue; though they may not be color coded with the insulation on the inside.
USB cables have four conductors and shielding.
Is it 4? 🤔 It’s been forever since I’ve opened one up and could have sworn it was 3 because I remember the Xbox controller had 4, but one of them wasn’t needed to slap a USB connector on it and use it with the PC. Maybe it had 5…
