Is this a one-way cable? I am moving music from my cassette player (w/ the 3.5mm headphone jack) to my laptop (w/ the USB-C connector.) But my laptop only recognizes it as an output cable, no input. Another cable works fine but isn't great quality. null

Hi Insignia Customer, yes, this is only a one-way cable. As you can see on the specification, the connectivity of the Insignia™ - 3’ USB-C to 3.5 mm Cable - Black is for USB, Analog Audio, that's the reason your laptop only recognizes the cable as an output one. |Angelica| Insignia Support| https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-3-usb-c-to-3-5-mm-cable-black/6416131.p?skuId=6416131

Yes, this is a one-way device due to the USB-C… Any device that you’re using to output is a USB-C it will work. It won’t work the opposite way.
