I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this in because this is my first post as a member but here we go. I noticed that when using my mono earbuds with my nexus 5 they work perfectly fine, but the stereo earbuds don't work at all. Is this a problem with just me or just a limited feature of the phone? The stereo earbuds sounding better to me than mono and I prefer them. Also, the stereo earbuds worked perfectly on my nexus 7(2012 edition). Please help, I'd like to use the pink ones.

First of all....Mono earbuds? I've never even heard of those. Anyway, I've never had any problem with any headphones I've used on the N5. There may be something wrong with either the headphones or the headphone jack on your N5.
Mono are the earbuds that transmit the same sound through both earbuds. Stereos transmit bass through one and treble through the other if I'm not mistaken. You can tell the difference between them by looking at the Jack of them and counting the number of rings they have. 3 rings=stereo 2=mono

I'm pretty sure Stereo actually has independent sound on each side (Left and Right).
Try this app to check if your stereo is working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfarrell.stereotest

I don't think you understand stereo.
Mono plays the same through left and right speakers
Stereo plays the left channel through then left speaker and the right channel through the right speaker.
To play stereo , you need a stereo recording, stereo amplifier and stereo headphones. Stereo was invented in the late 1800's and industry released recording, stereo has been the norm for many, many years.
I've never in my life come across mono headphones and I haven't seen a device produced that only plays mono (that isn't a single speaker radio or centre speaker on a 5 channel audio setup) in my lifetime. Some headphone jacks have additional sleeves above and beyond the number required for stereo. A mono jack has one sleeve, one ring and the tip like this

As you can see, the other end of this is stereo. You cannot plug a mono jack into a stereo socket because stereo socket will have a left and right connection which a mono jack would bridge together because the mono sleeve on a jack is the same size as the left AND right on a stereo jack combined.
So, yes the nexus 5 is stereo. All your headphones are stereo. Every "media player" with a headphone jack going back to the first ever Sony walkman in the early 1980's is stereo
Looking at HiFi speakers, some are bi-wired to separate the bass and the treble to different cones within the same speaker cabinet. You still get left bass and right bass if you're playing a stereo source. Maybe that's what you're confusing.

is there an accessory that will connect the phone to the car using the cars charger spot and the phones 3.5 mm ?
i dont have an aux input in the car, so im wondering if there is a workaround using the car charger type accessory
A car charger can not send audio to your stereo.(period)
You would be able to use an FM transmitter, but the quality of the output will be kind of sketchy. It's all about how much the sacrifice in quality compares to the enjoyment the listening will bring.

is there an aux input in the back of your radio? thats what i had to do? as far as fm transmitters i really didn't like the sound quality
if you have a tape player, you can get an adapter that will use the 3.5mm jack but the other end is shaped like a cassette tape, and will feed tunes through the head
it looks like this

IF they enable the built in fm it's going to be a receiver not a transmitter i'm afraid.
as for the OP, the cigarette lighter sockets in your car are power only, no audio. your options for getting audio to the car's head unit are
1) get a head unit with a 3.5mm aux input which is your best bet for quality
2) pull out your head unit and see if there is an aux input on the back
3) get a cassette adapter. the audio will be alright as long as you keep the volume output from your phone down. The adapters tend to distort at higher volume inputs.
4) fm transmitter. quality will be crap, but it will work.

yeah i knew about fm transmitter and dont like their quality!
but like you said, its probably my only option if i dont have aux input
I have a Samsung Transform Ultra (rooted, running stock Android 2.3.4). I have a factory bluetooth kit in my car. I also have an auxiliary port in my car as well so I like to listen to music on my phone while driving. The problem is that when I receive a call from anyone, the audio from the call automatically plays through the auxiliary line and not through the bluetooth kit. I have to unplug the auxiliary line from my phone before it works right. The bluetooth kit automatically mutes the radio so it won't play the audio from the call with the auxiliary cord plugged in. So I ended up buying a bluetooth audio receiver for my car that plugs into the auxiliary port. The receiver is a Logitech bluetooth audio receiver that when connected plays audio through the speakers quiet fine. But again, the phone audio still plays through the speakers. I checked the bluetooth setting for each device and this is what they have listed
Here is what my settings for my car kit are:

Here is a diagram of how my car audio is set up:
As you can see from the screen shots, I don't understand what the problem is and why the phone audio still doesn't play through the factory car bluetooth kit when it's connected via the auxiliary cable or the bluetooth receiver. My Bluetooth headphones work great when I listen to music through them and call audio works perfectly fine through them as well. Is there any way to disable the phone call audio from playing through through the Logitech receiver? Or is there a way to have my phone disconnect the Logitech receiver when a call is made/received and then reconnecting to it when the call has ended? I'm just getting really annoyed with how this works on my phone.

Try an app named SoundAbout. It will route media to "Wired Headphones"...which is your 3.5mm Aux input and route phone media to Bluetooth mono, which is your car's Bluetooth phone profile.
Some one have documaentation of MTC_RK3188_REV0.3 board?
I buy a unit without any Micro SD card slot, the main board have connection for SD and GPS sd slots, I can made a SD boards
Right now I map the connectors pin to a board pins, but I need to know wich pin correspond to wich signal for SD card.
Connectors:

Or if some one have a similar unit and can be map the pins of the connector to a SD card slot I appreciate.
This looks like a fun hackaday post. It's almost making me want to pull my unit to take a few photos for future study.
I'm interested in the amp equipment. The preamp is weak in my RK3188. They claim 45wX4 or whatever but their own specs are that that's max but you begin to clip and introduce noise at only 16w! That's "12" on the volume dial.
It looks like the RCA outputs are low line outputs but they have them going to headrest tvs in the pictorial. I'm going to assume I can just take those and run them to a proper amp and get better sound quality out of this system.
Anyway, it'd be nice to know what electronics are doing the lifting. Right now if I crank it above about 12 I start to notice significant signal degradation in the highs. They get all fuzzy and just sound yukky.

Do you happen to know at what volume the RCAs start to clip ?

Not sure. Is suspect they don't the high output is a function of the internal amp. I believe if you use the preamp outputs you bypass all of that.
I dug a little deeper and my biggest issue WAS bluetooth. If I used AirPlay/DLNA Receiver to stream over wifi the majority of the distortion goes away.
It's back to acceptable.

Ok thanks. Im using an external USB DAC with Neutron audio player (sounds absolutely awesome) with spdif out to my DSP but wanted to level-match the RCA outouts of the HU in my MiniDSP so Bluetooth telephone and FM Radio sounds as loud as the DAC... Best thing would be to be able to hear every single sounds of the Head Unit on the USB DAC, but so far only apps that use their own USB drivers are working.. (Neutron, USB Audio Player Pro, Hiby, Denon, etc)
I think its a Kernel issue.. USB Audio seems to be disabled on it. ?
Some news?
You have found the schematics or other documentation?
Just wondering if anyone can recommend any in-ear earphones with volume and track controls for Mi Mix2 please?
I've tried my Soundmagic E80s, but the pause/resume botton stopped working when it's connected via the USB type-c audio converter.
I was thinking about getting a Xiaomi type-c earphone but the sound quality is quite bad according to many reviews I read.
Anyone knows a regular earphone with volume and track control that works with Mi Mix2 ?
I'm using Poweramp for music player btw.
Thanks

Those arent in-ears though they are plain old earbuds. Which is great for bicycling and hearing traffic at the same time, so I'll probably buy a pair, but it's not what OP asked for.

The Xiaomi Mi In-ear Headphones Pro HD have volume and track controls working through the USB type-c audio adapter.
http://www.mi.com/en/headphonesprohd/
BTW, I also have the Xiaomi ANC USB type C earphones, the sound quality is not bad at all.
I was wondering - is there an adapter (usb-c to 3.5) you can buy that would allow any regular headphone remote control buttons to work?
I'd hate to get a good pair of 3.5mm conn earphones only to discover I can't make the buttons and/or microphone to work.
...anyone tried 1more triple drivers?
edit: I found bunch of them that supposedly work, but can someone actually confirm adapter replacement made both microphone and buttons to work?
Hello,
When listening to music, my 24 bit Flac audio files are played down to 16 bits. This is the case with bluetooth headset, wired headset, and its own speaker. I tried many music players. (Samsung music, poweramp, jetaudio etc.) When I look at the developer options, the 24 Bit feature appears to be passive.
I am waiting for your help in this matter. I bought this phone because it has this feature. Otherwise I would buy Mi 11 lite. I hope I will not regret it.
This seems yo be the case with me too.
I would suggest not using Bluetooth as it cannot play hi-res files. Over aux however, I use Poweramp and changed the setting to hi-res output. Even so,my 24 bit FLAC files get downsampled to 16bit. The A52 as far as I know doesn't have a dedicated dac like LG phones used to. Since there isn't any information on samsung website. Qualcomm does mention that 720g comes with support.
An external DAC would work, but that inferres lugging around another piece of tech in your already bulky pocket.
Any help would be great!

Any new info on this matter? Im thinking of getting this phone and audio is a really important subject to me.
Does poweramp support hd playback on this device or is a external DAC required?
Bt isn't bandwidth capable of supporting 24 bit throughput.
UHQ Upscaler must be enable for hi res output via the C port. That toggle is found in Sound Assistant if you're using it and in Settings.

This post is a bit old but may help for people searching for Playback of High Resolution Audio.
I am using a FiiO BRT5 with LDAC Bluetooth Codec with Samsung Note10. Its has the highest throw power in wireless high resolution Audio.
Incase of any other brand of mobile phone or bluetooth headphones or amp, make sure ot supports LDAC on both end, LDAC was proprietary of Sony but its now supported by Android as well.
I saw something about Hi-Res audio being only played through the USB C port on USB C earphones and headsets? I think RayOS enabled it on the 3.5mm port too but I might be wrong.

In the end i got the phone, and yes, it tells me it's playing at 24 bit/192khz (using hi-res output, it can go further but i dont trust if it's really going that far and anything over 192khz it lowers the volume.)
