If you have a USB-C analog audio adapter connected to your PC, unplug it, then connect a USB-C digital audio adapter instead. Make sure the device or dongle is connected to the USB-C port on your PC (or phone) that supports the features of the device or dongle. For example, if you're connecting a Thunderbolt device, make sure it’s connected to the USB-C port on your PC (or phone) that supports Thunderbolt.

The USB device might have limited functionality when connected to this port. Plug the USB device into a different USB port on your PC.The good thing about the above setup is that you needn’t use any adapters. You need to connect both your laptop and the monitor via the said cable, and that’s about it. This arrangement makes it extremely easy to switch between the laptop-only mode and the conventional monitor setup. What’s more, these wires are extremely portable and can just be wound up and carried along with your laptop. Sounds great, right? This USB port doesn't support DisplayPort or Thunderbolt or MHL. Plug the USB device into a different USB port on your PC. Chargers that don't have a standard USB Type-C connector might use a proprietary, nonstandard connector that your PC doesn’t support.

Make sure the device or dongle is connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports the correct Alternate Mode. For example, a DisplayPort Alternate Mode adapter should be connected to the USB-C port on your PC that supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode. Select the Start button, then type device manager and select Device Manager from the list of results. The device or dongle you connected to has new features for USB-C that your PC (or phone) doesn’t support.The best part is that it’s available in three lengths – 3ft, 6ft, and 10ft. This gives you the flexibility of setting up your monitor is as per your convenience and preference. A PC with USB Type-C connectors has larger power limits. If the connector supports USB Power Delivery, it can charge even faster at greater power levels. For USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort over USB-C cables can provide up to 100 watts. This is convenient for laptop users, as it's possible to maintain your laptop's charge via the connection to the monitor, meaning it's unnecessary to drag the charger around with you. It is also a good idea to make sure that your sound device is turned on, and that the device's volume control is not at the absolute minimum setting USB Type-C has a new feature called Alternate Modes. If your USB-C cable has this feature, you can connect to non-USB devices that support the same Alternate Mode. For example, if your USB-C cable has the Thunderbolt Alternate Mode, you can connect to Thunderbolt devices. There's no setting to turn on—your device automatically uses the appropriate mode if it's supported.
