[Q] USB audio on galaxy Tab 2 7.0?

I want to get a 7" tablet to function as the head unit for my car stereo, using USB OTG and this USB audio stick:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006SF68P2/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01
to get optical digital (toslink) output, and connect it to a processor like the Audison bit 1 or Rockford Fosgate 3sixty.3.
I have the OTG cable and sound adapter on the way to test with my Galaxy S3, which has worked for others. Does anybody know if the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 can do this with ICS or JB?

The USB port on that device probably does not support MTP, so it can't directly pull music off of the storage. It also was released around 2010ish (Based on a quick Google), before Android got the capability to send audio over USB so it does not support the Android standard. It will not be able to output over USB. You're going to have to use a 3.5mm cable to connect it to the headphone jack on the Nexus to get any audio output.

Ok, thx 4 help. Now i will buy 30pin to mini-jack adapter on ebay .

You can try one of those Apple 30pin <-> Bluetooth adapters. That way you can charge your phone over USB and just send the audio over Bluetooth to the dock. Something like this: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-bluetooth-dock-adapter/

external DAC compatibility list

as the title says, do you use or are you planning to use an external DAC with your Note 7? If so, did you run into any compatibility issues? For instance, I am planning to get an Audioquest Dragonfly Red if it turns out that I dont like the internal DAC of my soon to arrive Note 7 Exynos with my Westone W40's, but I will wait until I find some feedback on the compatibility of the two devices (Note 7 with Dragonfly Red).
I think it would be helpful for people, especially since the Note 7 has a USB Type-C connector, to know which external DAC will work with their Note 7.

With the suplied adapter every external dac should work.... usb otg works with all the accesories ( see youtube video).

is this also true for DAPs/DACs like the Fiio X5ii? In their official forums they claim the Fiio X5ii can not be used as a DAC for Android Smartphones because the Smartphone expects Synchronous Data Transfer whilst the X5ii is designed for Asynchronous Data Transfer. Now I know there's an App called USB Audio Player Pro which bypasses the Android OS and allows Async DACs to function but I rely on ID3 Tags that only Rocket Player can give me. I heard that USB Audio Playback was possible from Adroid 5 and upwards, so I would think that the newer Android OS can also handle Asynchronous Data Transfer, am I right in that assumption?

I'm glad to hear that, are you using USB Audio Player Pro or does the Dragonfly also work with other Music Players?

i'm using with USB Audio Player PRO and the a Beta version of PowerAmp that has USB DAC functionality. USB Audio Player PRO seems to provide better output (vs the beta PowerAmp) and, with my Shure SE846 in ear monitors, music sounds simply amazing... mitigates my need for Viper4Android. By the way, i'm using N930FD, rooted with SuperSU and Dr Ketan's (near stock) ROM.

Poweramp beta does not access the amp on the dragonfly, that's why the output is lower compared to usb audio player.

Fiio Q1 works nicely. Chain is as follows:
Google Play Music (high quality) > Note 7 > Stock USB OTG adapter > Generic USB Cable > Fiio Q1 > Sennheiser 595

Works fine with my OPPO HA-2 with the USB C OTG adapter. But the USB C to Micro B didn't work with the HA-2's included Micro B to Micro B cable.
Also purchased Monoprice's new 6" USB C to Micro B cable, will update whether or not it works when it arrives.

What cable are you using then? A different micro B to micro B with the adapter that came with the note? I got the HA-2's cable to work using a different adapter usb c adapter I got off Amazon. Problem with that one is my note 7 says it's charging the HA-2.
I bought a usb c male to micro b male off ebay and it didn't work.

is there definitely a dac in the usb c dongle?

can anyone confirm! Is it a dac and amp
thinking of using it for an s8
or is it just a bog standard afapter

The dac is inside the phone itself.

There is definitely an amp in adapter and S8 sounds "better" (subjective opinion).

I can't get it to work
I've attached the dongle and it's not finding anything or playing via usb c
developer mode I've selected audio usb

Hello
The signal coming out from the usb connector is numeric and the sound coming from the earpiece is analogic. So by definition a DAC is mandatory in the dongle, it wouldn't work otherwise.

I even got a firmware upgrade for the dongle yesterday. So yes, definitely has a DAC inside.

Note 9 - USB C Headphone Support

Hi,
Let's start a USB C earphone support thread. So far I've tried the following, without full support:
- Razer Hammerhead, Music Yes, Microphone in Recorder Yes, Calls No
- OnePlus Bullets, Music Yes, Recorder Yes, Calls No
I'm starting to think all USB C headphones are going to be like this on the Note 9... Surprised they haven't updated the source to support these kinds of headphones ahead of the Note 10 and it's lack of 3.5mm port.

Same problem
Same problem here. No solution so far. Going to take these things back.

I'm thinking they don't see a reason to have usb c headphone fully supported on the Note 9 because it actually has a 3.5mm port? We all know Samsung is the last to adopt certain things. It would be nice if they did support it though because the range of possibilities would be more for listening to music. Headphone Jack busted...not a problem, use usb c port etc.

Xiaomi ANC HiRes audio type C earphones, not working at all

I've tried Google's for pixel 3 earphones. Music and control (including mic on recorder) yes, phone calls no. But I must say: the sound through these earphones surpasses anything I've tried on my note 9. Even without phone call function the quality of music coming out of these earphones is worth it!

HTC U-Sonic USB-C earbuds are a no-go all the way around on both the Note 9 & Note FE.
The Developer Options on the Note FE even has an audio source option in the USB Configuration section & still nothing.
IIRC, the HTC USB-C buds were one of the earliest models available & may have been proprietary to HTC phones.
I have got them to work on a few non-HTC phones along the way, but, Samsung isn't one of 'em (OnePlus/BlackShark/RazerPhone come to mind,IIRC).

I wouldn't be surprised if the Note 9, 8 and FE don't support the use of USB Type-C headsets for calling.

I use a Lenovo USB-C hub that I plug my Astro Mixamp into and listen to music.
I can't get phone calls to work tho.

i tried plugging note 10 C headphone to my note 9 so it is just able to hear music but can not answer the call. However, the C headphone did on my S10e.

OnePlus Type-C Bullets work!
Hey everybody! I just came on to search whether or not my type C bullets from my OnePlus 6t would work on the Note 9 I just got. Before plugging them in, I went into developer options and unchecked "Disable USB audio routing". Plugged them in and the sound incredible! The in-line volume, play and pise functions on the Bullets work as well. However, attempted to make a phone call and it just stayed defaulted to the phones earpiece with the Bluetooth or speaker phone option. Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience a few moments ago lol. Yes it would be great if we could get these to work with a simple phone call. Hate to just put these Bullets in a drawer to collect dust until the day they are supported by a phone I own lol.

Yes, they do work for listenning, with volume and pause/resume buttons. They don't work for call though.

Something changed in Android 10? On apk mirror is samsung usbc headset app/driver but its not working :/

Couldn't find developer options
Hi, I tried what you recommended. I couldn't find developer options except under accessibility. It didn't have remove audio routing. I have a note 9

I have connected Logitech G933 Artemis wireless headphone with a USB-A to USB-C converter and it works.

Correct. I also tried on a Corsair G935 and audio works but phone calls do it. Tried it on my Note 10 and if works just fine for calls.
Thinking this might be a hardware and not a software issue.

Does Usb C firmware update works on Note 9 too? For usb C headphones?

Okay so i know this thread was started a while back, I just wanna say for any new Googler's that the Note 9 cannot support calls because it has the 3.5mm ear jack which handles all the analogue sounds means phone calls, "Hey Google" and similar cannot be passed through the Type C headsets/headphones. Its hardware so no apps can help with that.
