How to use

Plug the Gembird Virtus2 into any free USB port on a compatible Windows 10 or Windows 11 system. Connect your headphones or external speakers to the 3.5 mm output.

Keep the adapter unobstructed to maintain airflow and avoid pressure on the cable or port. If the device is not detected automatically, check Windows Update for drivers or try a different USB port. Avoid exposing the adapter to liquids, extreme temperatures, or strong magnetic fields.
