# Sound and USB devices on your Google Play or Android Emulator VPS

> Hear your Google Play VPS or Android Emulator VPS in the Web console or over Remote Desktop, and connect a USB device with the Remote console app.

Difficulty: Beginner

Your server has a sound device and a USB controller. This guide shows how to hear the server and how to use a USB device from your computer.

## Sound in the Web console

Sound is on when you open **Console › Web console**. The console toolbar switches it with **Audio off** and **Audio on**. If you hear nothing, click the page once: browsers can block sound until you interact with a page.

## Sound over Remote Desktop

Remote Desktop plays the server's sound on your computer, as it does for any Windows server. If it is quiet, check **Show Options › Local Resources › Remote audio** in Remote Desktop Connection.

## Connect a USB device

USB devices do not connect through the browser. Use the **Remote console app**:

1. Select **Console › Remote console app** in the client area and open the server in the app.
2. Plug the device into your computer.
3. In the app's menu, open **Removable Devices**, choose the device and select **Connect**.

The device now belongs to the server, and your computer no longer uses it. Select **Disconnect** in the same menu to give it back.
