USB Audio out? - Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers

Hi guys, I've noticed that when I connect my DAC to the type-c port on phone there's no audio.
Is there no sound routing through this interface?
Can it be enabled?
Thanks

I've noticed same thing.

Have you checked the "USB Audio Routing" in Developer Option menu?

Yes I did. We should contact Sony support, it's a small issue, an update will fix it easely.

I've tested only with Sony DAC from my Xperia XZ2. Maybe that one isn't compatible.

Maybe the Sony is passive, in that it passes through audio from the phones amp. The Meizu is active, it has its own DAC and Amp built in. Just a wild guess. Maybe the Xperia 1 II does not pass on audio from its built-in amp through the usb connection

USB-C audio works fine with the cable from my old Pixel 2XL. No settings needed.

I've tested using a Hidiz Sonata USB device and the USB audio player pro app and it'w working fine here.

XD05 Plus not connecting.
Doesn't seem to work with Xduoo XD05 Plus
The volume/power from the phone is barely okay for my IEMs, but it can't drive any of my headphones.
This was supposed to be an upgrade from my LGV30 (works fine with XD05) , unfortunately it's rather looking like I should have gone for a V50 or V60 instead.
I have checked in the developer options and it seems like USB Audio Routing is on by default.
Any recommendations to get it working would be appreciated.
I have just tested with my Dragonfly Black and that seems okay. At least it has sufficient power to drive most of my headphones to a reasonable volume. Still very keen to get it working with the Xduoo if I could though.

Sony Walkman App Hi-Res internal + USB DAC playback

Just wanted to share my experience with the USB DAC output option.
I have an HRT Microstreamer DAC that has a headphone out and a line out. Works flawlessly with my Note 3. Most of my music collection is FLAC (16/44, 24/88, 24/96, 24/176, etc.).
With the Z2 Walkman app, if USB DAC output is on, currently 24/88 & 24/96 playback is glitchy - mostly I'm getting white noise. BUT, if I use USB Audio Player, all the music plays properly and there's no downsampling.
Anyone else with a different DAC have any issues playing hi res FLAC?
From the internal player perspective, it looks like the Z2's Walkman app doesn't support hi res audio files past 24/96 and it's probably downsampling all of them (unless someone knows otherwise). So that kinda sucks considering the Note 3 supports hi res without downsampling.
Works great with FiiO E18... Try Poweramp for music player...

This is an issue with walkman it does downsample audio and can sometimes ruin FLAC Playback this is a futher issue with some Dac's like your mentioning. Now i dont have a Z2 i had a Z just 5 days ago and if they are anything similar try this https://mega.co.nz/#!1NNzHbab!zQMsyz...5Oe2_M5iWwDJmU just install as normal apk also are you rooted and running a custom rom?

I'm pretty sure Poweramp downsamples anything higher than 16/44 or 16/48, like most other music players; it'll play them, but they'll get downsampled on output. If you're playing any high resolution music via your DAC, I'd suggest USB Audio Player Pro; interface isn't as nice as Poweramp, but it bypasses Android's audio engine. So what you put in, you'll get out.

well i have made a couple of changes to be compatible with my port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739612 which i recommend you flash when the Z2 gets AOSP. so some audio compatibility changes were made bu without the custom libs with my zip i dont hav musch faith in it working but its always worth a shot. WHATEVER YOU DO DONT FLASH THE PORT OVER A STOCK SONY ROM, IT CAN HAVE SOME VERY NEGATIVE EFFECTS!!!!!

lol, thanks for the warning I'll keep an eye on your thread, so I can try it out once we have an AOSP rom for the Z2.
The Z2 works perfectly with Fiio E18, HI resolution USB out only works on stock walkman player.
Wait, so you did turn on the Hi-res Audio via USB option in the sound settings?
I confirm that the Z2 works flawlessly with the Fiio X3 USB DAC even for 192/24 audio files. There is no downsampling as the X3 is presenting the sample rate of the music's I'm playing. I had the Hi-res audio turned on.

I just noticed that you joined this site in 2006 and this is your first post.
Wow!
Speaking of audio has anyone found a way to increase the normal (not usb) output to hi-res ?

I have not as of yet. In fact I'm having some trouble with USB output w/ the current firmware. Whether Hi Res USB Output option is checked or not, I'm getting pops and crackles on playback. Though mostly it's with Pandora or Beats Music. Not sure what's causing it. Does the same thing with my Microstreamer and my FiiO x5 (in DAC mode).
Running .314 firmware. Anyone else have issues?
Interestingly Fiio E10 works on Z2 but you have to charge it using magnetic charger as it consumes a lot of battery

Are you rooted and / or did you unlock your bootloader? Trying to determine why mine isn't working right. I did a fresh firmware install of 0.314 and same thing.

Hello, my Z2 is not rooted and I didn't unlock the bootloader either. The only thing I did was to turn on the Hi-res Audio via USB option in the sound settings. If you have this set, I don't really know what could be wrong unfortunately.

Okay good to know - thx nrbatista.
Is there supposed to be any notification or pop-up when I connect a USB DAC to my Z2?
Because I ticked the Hi-Res USB output in walkman, but when I connect my Sound Blaster E5, I'm not sure if walkman is playing hi-res or not.
I tried toggle the Hi-Res option while music is playing but no difference.

USB Audio on Note 5

Has anyone else tried using USB audio out on the Note 5, and if so, is it working for you? I've got a Fiio E18 and the audio is slow and garbled when playing out through the Note 5. Works great on Nexus 5 and PC so I'm assuming it's not the Fiio device.
Hi,
There’s no denying the Galaxy Note 5 is a top-quality phone.Unfortunately, like those phones, it lacks a number of features such as a removable battery, USB 3 and, crucially, micro-SD expansion.The other omission is Type-C USB, something the much cheaper 5.5-inch One-plus 2 sports.
Type-C USB has the benefit of being reversible, so you don’t have to guess which way you’re plugging it into the phone. It also has the ability for faster data transfer using USB 3.1 and improved power delivery – something One-plus hasn’t taken advantage of. Apple’s new Mac-book uses it as the main charging port.
TO know more (http://www.trustedreviews.com/samsung-galaxy-note-5-review)
I'm not sure what this post has to do with my question. None of the features you mention are relevant (or for that matter, critical to me). Clearly the Note 5 supports USB audio, but it appears to not work properly.
Still not tested on note 5

I am also searching for data on using my Fiio with note 5. I don't have my fiio by hand right now but I want to know if the sound quality is better with Fiio E18, or Note 5`s sound is enough.Once I connected my fiio to my Asus n550 laptop(which has a Realtek audio card), but I couldn't notice any significant difference in sound power and quality. Do the others feel a difference? My headphones are Sennheiser.
PS: have you upgraded your OS to ANDROID 6?

My fiio e17 worked great with every galaxy phone from s3 to s6 and note series. E18 should work without any problem with note 5.
Try to find another cable to connect your fiio to note. If this is not helping you try to reset to factory your phone or flash another firmware with odin. Try with other player - I use poweramp and neutron.
BTW. I give up to phone music. My setup now is fiio X1 used only with line out + fiio e12A + sennheiser momentum (over ear, in ear) or HD 598. X1 HAS THE SAME QUALITY AS THE X3K OR X5-2 with line out .
I use the Oppo HA-2 and it works perfectly with Google Play Music. Although, I don't store lossless files on my phone since they're big and you won't hear the difference b/w that and 256kbps+ mp3s out and about.

USB Audio Out on MTCB RK3188 on 5.1.1

Hi All,
I have lately ventured into th Androi dheadunits world and have been really happy the functionality they bring with them.
I am using a USB dac hifimediy to get audio out from the HU. The HU is a HA version and is on 5.1.1
I dont get the generic Android sounds via the DAC. When the DAC is connected i don't get any sounds from HU. I only get any sound play from UAPP. Rest all the apps which play music doesnt output to USB dac even if i am playing low bitrate MP3
Is this behavior expected or there is something that can be done? Thanks in advance
P.S: i have the "Prevent audio rout to USB" disabled in Developer options

I cannot recall the exact reason, but I recall reading something in this thread about how they are separated. Perhaps @7floor may be able to answer.
Got the same problem.. Connected Asus Xonar U7 and no main sounds from android, only via usb player apps. Android 5.0 supposed to support native usb audio? :/ Also RK3188 & Android 5.1.1.
It may take you some time searching, but at least one person deffo got a USB DAC working on these units, your ll have to search the original thread which is here :

USB-C to 3.5mm jack problem

Hello, I got my P20 Pro 2 days ago. So, here's my problem. I got a pair of HyperX Cloud II and I want to use them with the phone. When I plug them with the included dongle, the headset icon shows for a second then disappears from the notifications bar. I should mention the fact that I can use the included earphones and some other casual earphones. The interesting fact is that I can use my Cloud II headset without any problem(other than the fact that the volume is quite low) on my mate's Xiaomi Mi 6 with the same dongle. What do you think, is there anything I can do about it, or should I go wireless once and for all?
go wireless if you have the budget, for me i still prefer wired due to i'm too lazy to charge it, i've used the dongle with my MI in-ear pro, and so far it works as intended
I found the headset wasn't always detected and I had to add a setting in developer settings
I have 'Disable USB Audio Routing' set to off and 'Always prompt when connecting to USB' set to off.

Turns out you can use this headset with the phone, but only if you plug in the microphone, and that's a huge problem for me, as I used to casually wear them wherever I'd go. Since I bought the phone, I have switched to some in-ear headphones and I learned to live with this.
Will it be the same with all adapters?

Think other adapters will work with the hx cloud (no mic)?

Solution
Hello everybody
I have the same problem with my hyperX cloud 2. To make it works you only have to plug the microphone in headset and after that plug it in the phone.
If you plug out the mic, headset will not be recognized again.
Hope it will be helpful for you. Cya

I have tried with adapters from: Mi 6, Pixel 2, U11. It has to do with the OS, as a matter of fact, they worked just fine without the mic plugged in for the other phones.

But without the mic, with the other (not stock huawei) adapters plugged in to the p20 pro, it still didn't work?
Just making sure it's not the adapter.

Nope, the P20 Pro wouldn't detect the headset.
P20 Pro does not detect my headset or dongle
I have this problem and until now I cant find a solution. Phone is charging with any charger though and it just happened all of a sudden. I already tried doing a hard reset but no good. I am using the Europe version. Single Sim GPU Turbo updated.
Can confirm plugging the mic into the headset solves the issue.
Same headset here. If you don't want to use them whit the mic in, use Lesser Audioswitch app. You can choose the audio output source with the app.
Work for me.
Also, don't forget to manually switch back to speaker after you unplug your headset.
Has anybody discovered a fix for this yet where you don't have to plug in the mic? I just got a P20 pro and it is disappointing that I am unable to use my headset with it.
HUawei P20 Pro not able to detect headphones?
I've been using Apple headphones connected to the Huawei USB-C adapter on my Huawei P20 Pro....it was working fine for at least 5 months.
But last week when I plug in my headphones the icon shows up for a second, then disconnects in a few seconds. Now it's a consistent problem.
Has this happened to any of you? I don't know if it's the adapter or my phone...
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Nokia 7 plus usb c audio problem after android 9 pie update

Hello guys,
I have been using Nokia 7 plus for 4 months now on android 8 oreo out of the box. I used to connect it to my external sound system through a wired usb c audio connector cable and everything was great.
Just yesterday, i got the official android 9 pie update, stable version not beta. And ever since I updated i have lost the sound on my speakers. I connected another cable with a 3.5mm jack, and it worked. But the usb c audio connector is no longer working, even though everything else seems fine and the charging is also ok.
Is anyone else facing this problem? I need help to overcome this
yes bro, me too facing a similar issue.
My usb type c to 3.5 mm dongle stopped working.
(note - i dont use the inbuilt 3.5mm jack due to its low quality of sound)
Nokia has removed Snapdragon Audio+ from Android Pie. Might actually be a factor.
Thanks for the heads up on this, I use an HTC USB C adapter as the Nokia audio quality I feel is poor. I will refrain from updating to Pie for the time being now I know this.
Is it just my impression but is the Pie update very buggy as I'm seeing lots of issues on the various forums.
