There's some similar models with similar look. All functions work (audio out, microphone in, play/pause/call, volume). Also, such adapter works with V20 and Sony Xperia XA1 Ultra (change USB mode to audio in Developers Option).
Regular USB speakers and USB sound card also work through USB C to A female adapter.
Notice: these audio adapters draw power from your phone. Unplug when not in use.

Hello,
I just got a hdmi to dvi converter so I could plug the microusb to hdmi adapter to my monitor via dvi.
However the galaxy note wants to push audio out to the monitor which obviously is for picture only.
I want the audio to come back out from the speakers again, does anyone know an app that can switch audio outputs? I tried googling but nothing pops up that forces android to output audio to certain outputs, like speaker or headset.
Thanks.
Haven't tried this app.
But maybe this will do it:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.audiowidgetpro&hl=en (Pro version)
Tried that app but doesnt have option to select audio outputs
Just has volume options.
There doesnt seem to be an HDMI setting either after plugging in the hdmi adapter.
get a Y splitter for audio cable. get a male to male audio cable.
Uplug your speaker audio cable from your computer. Lets call this the speaker cable.
plug the y cable into your audio jack to your computer.
Plug your speaker cabe into one of the Y splitters.
Plug one end of your male to male audo cable into the other side of the splitter.
Now plug the last part into your phone. its a work around, but cheap and easy work around.
parts here:

Under $5. radio shack will cost you $9 for the splitter itself. I just got it a few weeks ago
please tell me the brand of hdmi mhl you have with a link if possible and the converter for the hdmi > dvi. I cant get mine to work for my nexus.
Got all my stuff from monoprice.com

Sorry for the late reply.
The Samsung Dock has a 3.5mm stereo jack on the back so clearly the audio is available via the microUSB.. So, given i would like to charge the Note and play music in the car, has anyone found a cable that has micro USB at one end and splits to USB (for charging) and stereo 3.5mm (for audio)?..
thx!

Nope. I've only found this http://www.shopandroid.com/htc-3-in-1-usb-adapter/5A18A3571.htm
I don't know if it would work with SGN (even though you would still need an adapter from miniusb to microusb).
something along the lines of this?

Hey everyone,
Having a bad GPS -signal as soon as I plug in my headphones (which renders GPS tracking basically useless for me), I am looking for alternative ways of using my headphones while doing sports. Searching the Internet, I came across various microUSB to headphone adapters (e.g. serach on amazon for: "LinkS Micro USB to VGA MHL Adapter+Micro 5pin to 11pin adapter + Charging Cable in Black 3 Feet Kit" or "Universal Micro USB Interface to 3.5mm Plug Earphone Adapter (Black)", I have not enough posts to post links/images, yet). Now I am wondering if our phone will support these adapters and if yes, can I control the volume of the output?
Many thanks in advance!
Using an USB audio device requires USB OTG which our device doesn't support.
Hey @Adam77Root but we have working mhl which anyway is using microusb port. And iodaks kernel have working otg too.
Edit: android L seems will have support for USB audio devices IF they have working otg

MHL uses a different method.
If there is working OTG, USB audio support is enabled in the kernel and USB audio HAL is included in the rom, it can work. Older versions too support it.
The talk around the removal of the 3.5mm headphone jack from some phones has got me thinking... is it possible to have a cable in my car that I plug into the OnePlus3 USB C port, that then provides power AND audio out? I don't need DASH charging (but reasonably fast charging would be good), and I have a 3.5mm jack in my car, so is this possible, and if so, what would I need to connect from USB C to power and audio our (3.5mm)?
Why? My car has Bluetooth audio, but it's a pain. When I start the car it's not instant on. Sometimes it decides not to connect. Sometimes audio drops out. I also have another phone for work, but my car only allows a single bluetooth connection, so when I'm travelling for work, I'd like my work phone connected to Bluetooth for calls and my OnePlus3 connected via 3.5mm for audio. BUT I don't want another cable to connect. I want this simple and quick!
Any thoughts?!
is the BT in your car an embedded head unit?
you could get an FM-BT transmitter device like these:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...transmitter&sprefix=bluetooth+fm+tran,aps,332
which you could use instead of, or in addition to, your current BT solution

as a side note, what you're asking for is definitely POSSIBLE, but likely a bit expensive and may not be SUPPORTED by your sound system.
Yes, my car has Bluetooth in the factory fitted head unit. Its just that Bluetooth tends to be a pain. Takes 30seconds to connect after I start the car, etc. And as my car also has 3.5mm input I was just thinking there may be a more elegant solution using USB C.

like i said, there is (since USB-C can carry audio, even video and ethernet etc), but i'm pretty sure your car's head unit won't support it.
check out the BT-FM transmitter products i suggested.

Yeah, I get that, and like I said, my car has a 3.5mm input. So I need USB C -> Power and Audio via 3.5mm output. Something like the adaptor that comes with the Moto Z: http://www.androidcentral.com/moto-zs-usb-c-headphone-jack-adapter
But, I'd like to split the USB C off to provide power input as well as audio out. So I was thinking something like a USB C hub. But not sure if that would still provide the USB C Audio out as well as enough power to charge the phone.

you could try that adapter + a USB-C hub
I've used my Nexus 6P with USB-C hub to use mice/keyboard/flashdrive while charging my phone via USB-C, i assume OP3 is no different since it has USB-OTG as well (won't charge faster than 1.5A via the hub though)
What you need is a USB C DAC. Here. use an OTG cable from your phone to a hub. Plug the DAC into the hub. Audio will route out USB to DAC and then you can plug a 3.5mm cable into the DAC for high quality audio. The otg will charge the phone at the same time.
Hi,
Samsung removed a support for listening to music via USB. I can't listen the music through my Fiio.
I called in support and there I was "explained" that support for playback is not guaranteed, since usb contact is only 5 mm. I use their own adapter micro-USB to USB-C, but support again repeats the same mantra: not guaranteed playback.
The Samsung Note 8 has USB audio capabilities, it has not been removed. It also has Samsung Pro Audio Support from the testing I have done. You have to use an OTG cable or adapter for it to work. Use the regular Female USB to Male USB-C OTG adapter that comes with the phone to get it to work, the micro USB to USB-C adapter is not an OTG adapter. I have the Zorloo Z:ero In-Ear Headphones (these are micro USB and work with adapter), Zorloo ZuperDAC, the AudioQuest Dragonfly v1.5, and a Fiio Alpen 2 E17K, they all work great for me with the Female USB to Male USB-C OTG adapter. Also what media player are you using on your Note 8? I have no problems with PowerAmp (beta) and USB Audio Player Pro. The USB Audio Player Pro states it works with these USB DACs:
Just a selection of our supported DACs:
• Audioquest Dragonfly
• Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100
• Centrance Dacport LX / HiFi M8
• Cypherlabs AlgoRhythm Solo
• FiiO E7/E10/E17/E18
• HRT Microstreamer
• Ibasso
• iFi nano iDSD / micro iDAC
• M2TECH
• Meridian Explorer
• NuForce uDAC / Icon HDP
• NwAvguy ODAC
• and many more!
It Works!!!
I have a Fiio E-18 Kunlun and it works fine on the N8 through the USB C port. I had to purchase a new cable from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PVJ96B/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That is the 4' cable. I also purchased the 6" cable.
You might try to tune the audio on the N8 to your hearing using settings. I think it was the adaptive audio or something similar. I think it improved sound quality for me.
Thank you, friends. I will go to buy one more cable.
Hi I have exactly the same headset and bought what I was told was an otg adapter on amazon - but trying to play deezer does not work - do I have to download another player? will it then only play music I have on the phone? (I have none)
^ Another piece of advice guys, consider using Viper4Android, when hearing the difference with/without it, it's like day and night. Amazing bass control, full equalizer control as well as many other options for tweaking and adjusting sound. Give it a try if you haven't already!
Note 8 Not Working With Kunlun E18
Hi,
I have the Note 8 as well as the Fiio Kunlun E18 and I'm having trouble getting it to work correctly. I am using a USB C OTG adapter with the micro usb cable that came with the Kunlun. When I plug into the Note 8 a USB options screen pops up in the notifications panel that gives you a few options, but if you try to select any of them it just reverts back to 'charge device'. It's strange because the other day after turning the Kunlun on and off a few times and then selecting MIDI Device in the notification panel options on the Note 8 I finally got it working. Now, I'm trying to listen to my music again today and it is not working for me no matter what I try. The USB Type-C to MicroUSB Female OTG Adapter I am using is from a company called meenova. I ordered it from Amazon. I'd like to add that when I connect the two devices together all the volume levels drop to mute, and if I try to slide the Media volume slider up it just goes right back down to mute. I can hear the audio from my Power Amp Player app temporarily as I do this. Any help would be appreciated. When it was working the other day I did not have Developer Options enabled in the Note 8. Do I need to do this and mess with some of the USB Audio routing options? Thanks.
Hi, all. I realize that this is an old post. I hope that it is ok to ask my queston. I bought an XDuoo Link DAC(USB-C), but can't get my Note 8 to recognize it. The USB configuration doesn't even allow for USB audio. Is there something else I can try?
Any luck there? I've been trying to connect my N8 to xDuoo XD-05plus with an OTG cable that came with the dac/amp but with no success.
