Would be nice if they at least had a code on them to know what the compatibility is, such AV means the port is audio and video compatible, AVP would mean the former plus you can use it to charge or power a device. The same codes could be used on the cables as well.

- rrss 7y ago> AVPDEFWXYZLGBTQ RISC-V, is that you?
- komali2 7y agoI don't think that solution works, because I have one converter that is audio, visual, power capable for my Nintendo Switch, but incompatible with my Surface Go, and another that is vis versa.
- tracker1 7y agoDisagree... you should have two types of cables, one low end, low power, etc... one high end, supports it all. That would be easier. As to the audio adapter, would just assume to have an inline dac, I have a USB2 A to 3.5mm 4-pole adapter that would be entirely doable in USB3, maybe a slight bump at either end. Then the device would have to support the given DAC, you'd have the same compatibility issues for audio, but that's already true. 3 failed attempts to get a cheap replacement for my lost my pixel 2 xl adapter.
