I have several usb cables. One cable is from a computer mouse and the other is from a usb extension cord.
Can these cables be an acceptable replacement for audio cable?
What inexpensive cable options would you recommend for a replacement?
I’m confused, what type of audio cable are you trying to to replace? Afaik there is little difference between USB cables other than their version number
For headphones
Are you just talking about using a usb cable that came with a mouse to plug in a USB speaker?

You could but it would be an utter pain in the ass and might not work 100% as it was before it broke because the thickness of the wires are different and USB isn’t just 1. It’s 3 and they’re so thin, you’d need to braid them together.
If the plug broke, you couldn’t replace the audio’s connector with a USB connector.
Unless the audio device is also USB. Then it shouldn’t be much issue; though they may not be color coded with the insulation on the inside.
USB cables have four conductors and shielding.
Is it 4? 🤔 It’s been forever since I’ve opened one up and could have sworn it was 3 because I remember the Xbox controller had 4, but one of them wasn’t needed to slap a USB connector on it and use it with the PC. Maybe it had 5…
