Source audio is provided by DisplayPort and HDMI cables. If you must use VGA, Surface
Hub has an audio input port that uses a 3.5-mm plug. Surface Hub also uses a USB
cable that provides Touchback and Inkback from the Surface Hub to compatible
Windows 10 or Windows 11 devices. The USB cable can be used with any video input
that is already connected with a cable.

Someone using Guest Mode to connect a PC would use one of these options:

DisplayPort:

DisplayPort cable and USB 2.0 cable

HDMI:

HDMI cable and USB 2.0 cable

VGA:

VGA cable, 3.5-mm audio cable, and USB 2.0 cable

If the computer you're using for Guest Mode isn't compatible with Touchback and
Inkback, you don't need the USB cable.

In Replacement PC Mode, the embedded computer of the Surface Hub is turned off and
an external PC is connected to the Surface Hub. Connections to replacement PC ports
give access to key peripherals on the Surface Hub, including the screen, pen, and touch
features. This does mean that your Surface Hub won’t have the benefit of the Windows
Team experience, but you'll have the flexibility offered by providing and managing your
own Windows computer.

You can run Surface Hub in Replacement PC Mode with 64-bit versions of Windows 10
or Windows 11 Home, Windows 10 or Windows 11 Pro, and Windows 10 or Windows 11
