Solution
It is recommended that you use the following digital audio devices:
- HUAWEI classic headset (USB Type-C) CM33
- HUAWEI Headset Adapter (Type-C to 3.5 mm)
When purchasing an audio port adapter, pay attention to the following: An adapter whose Type-C port is purple is a digital audio adapter. An adapter whose Type-C port is white is an analog audio adapter. (Models that do not support Type-C analog headsets do not support analog adapters.)
HUAWEI Headset Adapter (Type-C to 3.5 mm; digital audio adapter; with a purple port)
HUAWEI Headset Jack Adapter (Type-C to 3.5 mm; analog-to-analog; with a white port)
- If the user does not want to purchase a HUAWEI device, advise the user to purchase another digital headset or digital audio adapter that comes with a built-in digital chip.
