I want to use my wired USB C microphone to speak and use my built in tablet speakers to hear a video call. However when I plug the microphone in, in "Media Output" I see "headset" and there is no sound because it is using the mic like headphones.
How can I use a USB microphone input and speaker output?
I've tried disable USB Audio Routing in developer options and speakers do work, but then the mic does not work either.
There are a few apps in the play store which are supposed to fix it, but none of them actually work on this device- maybe they need to be updated for new versions of android..
Try using Settings > Sounds and Vibration > Separate App Sound to force apps to output to the tablet speakers. I haven't tried this the way you're describing, but sounds like it should work

The audio device is set to Tablet, but when the mic is in, it changes to Headset there too.
In a different app, a DAW called n-track, i can set the output to Tablet even when system settings is on headset, so it CAN work, if the app supports it.. my problem is what to do when the app doesn't!
This is so frustrating, this tablet would be perfect for me but I'm stuck at such a stupid issue which utterly breaks multiple workflows. Never before has the ipad seemed to make sense......

Despite disabling the media audio output every time I connect my BT headset, it turns itself back on when the headset is reconnected. Is there a way to disable this permanently? I want to use the aux out on my stereo for music and the headset for phone, but don't want to keep disabling it every time I turn it on..
Frustrating...
Bump - anyone have any ideas?

There should be third party audio managers that let you pick which output is used for what, I can't think of any names but a little app store scraping should turn something up. That said, I'm sot sure if you can output music and stream a call simultaneously...

I just want it to retain the settings like it did in AOSP. When I set my BT headset to 'Phone Audio' and uncheck 'Media Audio', I want it to keep those settings the next time it connects.
Instead, it turns them both back on again. Which means turning my BT headset on while driving / listening to music results in the audio playing through the BT headset.

AOSP uses a third party audio manager, until it's available as a rom you'll have to find a different third party option. Almost any of them should save your settings...
Any ideas on the app? I've tried bluetooth auto connect as well as trying to set up Tasker profiles. No luck whatsoever.

Hello again
Really often I use my phone as a media player, especially in my car, connected via headphones cable. Until now all works fine with all my devices, but with the Maze Alpha the sound is just in mono (left side) - with any app. In the android settings I disabled the sound reinforcement options but nothing is changed.
I know that the speaker plays sounds just in mono, but I found no hints in reviews that this is the same for headphones. If this device generally not able to play sounds in stereo, is this a big fail for the manufacturer.
So please check my issue and give me a feedback. I'd also be happy if someone can tell my a solution for this to get real stereo sounds.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes

Same issue here only one chanel
I haven't try to use it directly with large speakers though. It seems that you might need an amplifier to get the right sound despite defaulting to a stereo sound system only. The secret is to sound issue in Maze Alpha is to get quality earphones.
I've had a search but cannot find an answer to this, when I listen to headphones using the supplied dongle, the sound is very recessed, the vocals are barely audible, I have changed the audio settings to atmos on etc and different eq but still the same. I read someone say they had to insert the dongle the other way up, I did that and the sound was OK then, however when I tried it again later the sound was rubbish again no matter which way I inserted the dongle. It on the odd occasion will sound fine but 95% of the time is rubbish when I try it.
I tried different music players to see if any difference, iplayer radio is always bad, other apps are where I have heard the music fine on the odd occasion.
I then bought the Google USB-C adaptor, tried that, when that is plugged in I always get a clicking sound for a few seconds, the sound is always rubbish with that too, very faint vocals again, no matter which way the dongle is inserted. When I use that the phone defaults it to charge USB device, I have changed the options to all the others (charge only, transfer files etc) still sounds the same.
When I use the supplied USB headphones the sound is fine, no issues at all on all the apps tried. Bluetooth audio is fine when I have tried that as well.
Is there anyway to fix this? The phone hasn't been rooted and doing software updates has made no difference.
Hello all, I didn't see any recent posts regarding setting Android Auto to use aux audio output instead of USB. I have an LG V30 and the Quad DAC sound quality is significantly better over aux than USB in my Ascent's Harmon Kardon speakers. It is very inconvenient to have to unplug my phone and manually select aux in the media center settings just to play good quality music. Please help! [emoji24]

I feel ya. I have the V35, but it doesn't matter what phone. What you have to do is before plugging in your phone USB to launch AA, you must select your audio source first. And then, do not select anything else like Play Music or any other app that plays music because you can't get back to it without unplugging and plugging back in. The good thing is that you can still change tracks via steering wheel controls. I don't see Google baking in functionality for AUX ports anytime soon if ever since they want it all to go through USB and AA.
Did you try to use the option in developer settings in phone system menus to disable audio through USB routing?
This is my setup:
Aftermarket head unit (IDCORE) connected through AUX to car stereo. AA is connected wireless (S10+, stock) with head unit; there is also car BT connected to mobile; when driving TWO active BT connections: 1, phone - car BT for audio and 2, IDCORE for AA).
And this is my problem:
AUX output (head unit -> car stereo) works, but has a quite annoying (static?) noise. Ground loop isolator is set, everything I can do hardware-wise is done -but the quality of AUX sound is MUCH LESS than it is when using BT phone-car connection (makes sense, Meridian built in system, with fiber optic).
Question:
considering above and that there IS an active phone-car BT audio connection during driving (beside the necessary AA-IDCORE connection) is there a way (software, app, switch?) to route AA sound through the phone-car BT audio connection, instead of the (noisy!) AUX wire?
Rooting of the phone is not an attractive option (due to my company account on the phone) - but I would be interested in any solution; as noise on the AUX output is quite disturbing. Thanks in advance
Have you checked the Bluetooth settings and checked music audio for the connection to the head unit?
Just did it. I CAN route music audio (in my case TuneIn) to BT in the settings of the phone (sounds, separate app sounds setting), but 1, this does not work (no sound over car BT from TuneIn, when using it on AA), 2, this setting can only be set for ONE application at the time (and I also use navigation, news service on AA), 3, the Android Auto app (the one I need?) does not show up in the application list of this setting. Still stuck.
My idea was (but I don't know if it is possible) a nifty app, that FORCES all sound (music, nav, news, etc) from the phone to BT (car), even when using AA.
I've got the same problem, using AA over USB and can't get Viper working because it doesn't stream over Bluetooth.
I have the same request. I have an AA unit attached to an original BMW X5 nav system. I can switch between them by long pressing the MENU button. The problem is that the AA unit can output sound only via audio jack and my car's system has fiber optics. The quality is very poor when compared. Is there anyway in which I can force my Android phone to output AA sound through car's BT? The AA unit has an option to do this for phone calls but unfortunatly not for regular sound (Spotify etc).
Anyone heard of anything related to this? I noticed that in the iPhones there is a setting in the accessibility options to route the audio through bluetooth. But there is nothing similar in AA. I can't believe this feature is not requested more.
Has anyone solved it? I'm struggling with the same thing.
I just ended up buying a BT transmitter which connects to my device's jack audio out and in turn it connects to the car's bt. It is stupid that there is no software solution to such a simple problem. Why can it do it for audio calls but not for music!? Why the iPhone can do it but the all configurable God of a mobile OSes simply can't?
Also, another idiotic thing of AA is that it doesn't allow you to switch the call to speaker or another bt device... in fact nothing happens when I get a call on the actual phone when connected to stupid AA. This is sooooo idiotic. Way to go android...
Aawireless also has a fewture that solves this also
Really? Where? What is it's name? Where do I access this?!
Aawireless: that is a piece of hardware again, isn't it (https://www.aawireless.io/)?
I look for an app/ software to solve this issue, if possible..
Aaahh I thought the reference was to Android Auto Wireless not a 3rd party hardware thing.
