1. My Wireless USB Host Adapter is plugged into my computer and my Wireless Audio Device
Adapter is powered but I do not hear anything out of my speakers. What’s wrong?
Check the Wireless USB Manager to see if there is an icon for your Wireless Audio Device Adapter.
If there is no icon, try unplugging and then plugging in your Wireless USB Host Adapter to reload the
Wireless Audio Device Adapter.
If you see an icon that is gray in the Wireless USB Manager, try resetting the Wireless Audio Device
Adapter by unplugging its power and plugging it back in. You should see the icon in the Wireless USB
Manager appear in color when it is connected.
Still not connected?
If you are using an audio source such as an A/V receiver, make sure the receiver is on the right input
channel.
