Best Answer

The abbreviation is of Universal Serial Bus, which refers to the way the device corresponds with a computer in order to deliver or exchange files.

The physical link is a small 4-pole connector, but there is of course a goodly amount of controlling electronics with it.

There there are very many USB devices, of which the small portable memory "stick" is perhaps the simplest. Digital cameras also use USB connections to allow you to transfer images from them to computers.

An output device for a computer is one that shows or displays data. Then that means an audio output device would be a speaker.

A "USB audio device" could be any number of devices. It could be a USB microphone, a set of speakers, a headset+microphone combo, or possibly even a USB VoIP phone.

When you have a problem with a USB device What is the simplest way to determine that the USB device is not causing problems?

Check that the usb device is functional in the Device Manager, Some USB devices don't appear in Device Manager use the utility program that came bundled with the device to check for errors. No. Plug the device into another USB port. If it does not work after you have plugged it into all USB ports on the computer then you know that your device is not working.
