Re: USB speaker desoldering best practices
Thanks for the idea. Btw, can't we just snip the headphone jack clean off (I'll have to revisit Wermy's guide)

Re: USB speaker desoldering best practices
these USB sound cards are absolute garbage. the copper is bonded to the board with wishes and unicorn farts.

My spare speaker I was able to pull off the USB connector without issue (small cheer). I then began warming up the cry...
