If you need to talk to someone on the side, disable the VoiceDetect feature temporarily by manually pressing on the physical mic mute button, and reactivate the VoiceDetect feature by pressing on the same button - TWO-WAY NOISE CANCELLATION WITH NOISECLEAN FEATURES – Reduce unwanted background noise during an online work call from both ends of the conversation with the NoiseClean features. NoiseClean-out works to remove noise on your end by suppressing your static background noise like vacuum cleaning, so you can be heard clearly by the others. On the other end, NoiseClean-in does the same to the incoming audio of your co-workers, so you can hear them clearly in your headphonesβ€”minus their noise - SUPER EASY TO SET UP – VoiceDetect and NoiseClean are part of our SmartComms Kit's suite of smart communication features. Simply plug the PLAY! 4 to your PC, download the Creative app (for Windows 10 and later) to get started, or further customize them via the Advanced settings. The software also comes with Sound Blaster Acoustic Engine, our suite of industry-leading audio processing technology like Surround immersion, and CrystalVoice that enhances voice clarity during video calls - BUILT-IN EQ MODES FOR ENHANCED AUDIO – Enhance your sound further with the Bass Boost and Dynamic EQs via the EQ button located on the Sound Blaster PLAY! 4. Hear deeper, richer bass with Bass Boost EQ, or expand your soundstage by boosting low–high frequencies with the Dynamic EQ. Sound Blaster PLAY! 4 is powered by hi-res audio with a 192 kHz / 24-bit DAC to deliver clean audio clarity at 110 dB; audio sounds much clearer and richer than the default audio on your computers and laptops - PORTABLE, CONVENIENT, AND WORKS WITH ALL HEADPHONES AND HEADSETS – This tiny USB-C audio adapter is no bigger than a thumb drive, and weighs just 8.3g (0.29 oz) so you can carry it in your pocket easily. Plus, the PLAY! 4 works with any of your 3.5 mm headphones and headsets, including those that comes bundled with your mobile phones, alongside with your laptops or desktops. For those with USB-A devices, we have also included a USB-C to USB-A converter so you can get started immediately ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08T9LM3LM | | Audio Output Mode | Stereo | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,391 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #5 in External Sound Cards | | Box Contents | Sound Blaster Play! 4, USB Type-C to Type-A Converter, Quick Start Leaflet, Warranty Leaflets, SmartComms Kit Leaflet | | Brand | Creative | | Brand Name | Creative | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer, Smartphone | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 1,101 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05390660194375 | | Hardware Connectivity | USB | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware Platform | Gaming Console, Laptops, Personal Computer | | Importer Contact Information | Fortune Marketing Pvt Ltd | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 13.8L x 1.6W x 0.8H Centimeters | | Item Type Name | USB-C Sound Card | | Item Weight Unit of Measure | 45 Grams | | Manufacturer | Creative Labs, Creative Technology | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Creative Technology | | Manufacturer Part Number | 70SB186000000 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 192 KHz | | Model Name | Creative Sound Blaster | | Model Number | SB1860 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Packer Contact Information | Fortune Marketing Pvt Ltd | | Platform | Mac OS Big Sur 11, Mac OS Mojave 10.14, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows 10 | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 110 dB | | Surround Sound Channel Configuration | 5 1 | | UPC | 054651194373 | | Unit Count | 1 Piece | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Audio Output Mode:** Stereo - **Brand:** Creative - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Personal Computer, Smartphone - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Platform:** Mac OS Big Sur 11, Mac OS Mojave 10.14, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows 10 ## Images ![Creative Sound Blaster Play! 4 Hi-res External USB-C DAC and Sound Adapter Ft.

Sound Blaster Play 3 has a Bit-depth/sampling frequency of 16-bit/44.1, 48.0, 88.2, 96.0kHz and 24-bit/44.1, 48.0, 96.0kHz" As for the Signal-to-Noise Ratio, the Sound Blaster Play 2 has 90dB (playback), while the Sound Blaster Play 3 has 93dB. Also, the Sound Blaster Play 2 has a single jack for Headphone / Speaker out cum Mic In 1 x 3.5mm jack While the Sound Blaster Play 3 has a separate jack for Headphone-out and Mic-in. - One 3.5mm (1/8-inch) 4-pole Headphone-out with Mic jack - One 3.5mm (1/8-inch) Microphone-in jack (Mono) **Q: Does it make a popping sound if there's a USB power spike?** A: Under normal working conditions, when using the Sound Blaster Play! 3, there are no reported issues regarding popping sounds deriving from power spikes. For more detailed information, please contact Creative Customer Support. **Q: Would there be any issues with using 2 of these? One for my headphones, and one for my desktop speakers?** A: I use the built-in sound card for speakers, and the SB Play!3 for headphones and microphone, so there is no problem with using two sound cards at the same time. As long as your OS and your music application recognizes the two devices as distinct, there should be no issues. **Q: Will this make my Modmic 4.0 sound louder? I currently use my Realtek onboard audio and the volume on my mic is extremely low even with boost up.** A: Yes, this is a known problem with the Realtek audio. Also avoid dongles which use the Realtek ADC. I'm guessing that this DAC/ADC does not use the Realtek chipset, although given its price maybe it does but Creative Labs has addressed the issues (which I am told are with the drivers, not the hardware). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mind blowing *by A***S on 6 September 2023* Now I can easily use any 3.5 mm mic for the Teams call.

Again awesome peoduct. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is capable of driving any damn cheap headphone or earphone with good sound output. *by S***R on 16 August 2021* I received it today in good condition. I downloaded the Creative App, plugged the DAC into my laptop's USB-C port. I had already purchased "Dolby ATMOS for Headphones" software from Microsoft for Rs 824. I used one earphone which had dumped due to its poor quality. When the earphone was paired with Creative Blaster Play 4, it sounded marvelous, I couldn't believe. Overall, this DAC is more than worth the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sound Blaster Creative Game! 4, Hi-Res Audio Adapter, USB-C DAC External Stereo Sound Card for Windows, MAC, Consoles, PC, Phones, Laptops - SABRENT USB External Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows and Mac.
