Connecting a gaming tablet or smartphone

Here’s an example of how to connect the devices when you want to hear the game audio from a tablet/smartphone and the voice chat audio from your computer at the same time.

To prevent malfunction and equipment failure, always turn down the volume, and turn off all the units before making any connections.
Before turning the unit on/off, always be sure to turn the volume down. Even with the volume turned down, you might hear some sound when switching the unit on/off. However, this is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

MEMO

If you do not need to chat on the computer, you can connect only a tablet or smartphone to the AUX jack while using a USB PD-compatible AC adaptor (commercially available).
