[SOLVED] Does using USB-C to USB-A adapter for speakers reduce sound quality?

[hogwartsrikiblack]

I just got the Creative Pebble v2 speakers, which connect via USB type C. In the box, however, they have a USB type A adapter. I would like to use that, since it would free the only USB-C port I have, however I'm concerned about quality loss. As far as I'm aware, USB-C has an incomparibly higher bandwidth compared to USB-A, and if the speakers connect via USB-C, there's probably a reason for that? Long story short, would using the adapter result in a loss of quality?

It’s a digital signal, it will either work or it won’t. I except they choose usb-c as it supports faster charging and/or is becoming the new standard.

I remember a classic issue with the Logitech Brio which would cause visual glitches when plugged into a USB 2.0 port instead of USB 3.0, so there is a line between working and not working (which is working, but less than optimally). I don't know if it can happen with speakers though, that's why I'm asking.

Video requires higher bandwidth. I expect between glitches it was normal quality, you were just hitting the maximum bandwidth of 2.0. There is no way for the device to compress the audio signal. There is also the fact this is a basic speaker. Why not just try it.
