Trick USB Device Into Thinking it is Plugged Into a Computer
MosherIV:
What exactly are you trying to do?
Have you already bought the device?
As I said, I do no think you can trick the device into working just by powering it.
It is an audio radio receiver to USB converter, probably the bulk of the work being done in a single chip device that needs to connecter to a usb host before it will do anything.
Why not just buy an audio receiver if that is what you need

Nope. There are charger ICs out there that do just what abyrvalg said: simulate different resistors to get each device to draw maximum current. It’s not power negotiation.
The ONLY chargers that do power negotiation are the ones that support high-voltage charging schemes, namely Qualcomm QuickCharge or USB-PD, neither of which is relevant here.
Would have been smarter to put the $10 towards a raspberry pi like I told you.

Yep, except that it’s not an MCU, but rather a dedicated USB charger IC built specifically to do that, like the TI TPS2514. The feature is called “DCP Auto-Detect”.

I am trying to do the same thing. My issue is with Dell AC511 soundbar. It requires to be plugged into a computer before it even turns on but all I want is to pass through audio from the HDMI (via extractor) so I can play whatever I have plugged into HDMI into the sound bar. The whole purpose of the sound bar is that it mounts underneath the monitor and doesn't require separate speakers since I have it mounted on the wall. If I plug it into a device the sound bar will turn on and work fine once unplugged from that device until the monitor turns off and the power is cut to the sound bar. I need to repeat the process to get sound working again when I first power on the monitor. A work around would be to use a raspberry pi but I would rather have a more elegant solution if at all possible.
