usb splitter that actually works?

[WCZ]

I have a laptop which I use to play backing tracks when doing live shows, the problem is my audio input device uses a usb-c connector as well and the charging port is that very same usb-c connector too!

I bought one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B098PYB42L but it doesn't work at all

any recommendations?

Have you got any other USB ports?

A standard USB A port should be able to cope with the audio requirements - a USB A to USB C adapter would probably do it.

I would think you’d need a proper USB hub that supports the wattage of your power supply. Something like this maybe: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Upgraded-Delivery-P...
