D6603 here running stock unrooted Sony lollipop update. Every time I connect my USB DAC all I get is horrible static. One of the features I was looking for in lollipop is USB audio which works great on the nexus 6.
Anyone else have issues with USB audio?

Can you check if you have the Hi-res audio via USB feature/option present in audio settings or Accessory settings under sound & notification ? Asking this bcoz after flashing to lolipop in my D6603 i dont see that option. So that could be the reason for horrible sound.
Thanks

I see no such option. Are you also experiencing this sound issue over USB?

Hi all
I see that the Hi-res audio via USB option missing under audio settings after flashing D6603_23.1.A.0.690_Customized_US.ftf ROM in my D6603. Any idea what could be the issue ?
I replaced the stock ROM D6603_23.0.1.A.5.77_Telekom_DE.ftf ( kitkat ) with D6603_23.1.A.0.690_Customized_US.ftf ROM (lollipop) using sony mobile flashtool by androxyde. But i did not wipe anything while flashing.
Thanks & Regards,
Kishore.
Its missing in all lollipop for the Z3C too, so you are not alone.
Hopefully Sony will add it back soon!
Its default in lollipop I guess.

Default, not sure what you mean.
Sound to USB doesn't get rerouted for me by default.
It seems they just removed the functionality.

USB audio is a standard feature for lollipop.

I don't have a USB DAC to test this on my z3 so can't say. It did work for my n5 at the store though.
That old review again. Only a few dacs work and down sampling occurs. No comparison compared to the Sony driver for me.
Hey there, hopefully someone can offer some insight here. I just recently got a Mate 8 and something that I did frequently with the Note 4 I had before was play audio in the car via the usb connection to my stereo. I am not able to do this with the Mate 8.
It ACTS like it's playing audio, but there's just no sound coming from the stereo or from the phones speakers. I can still change songs and play/pause it via the car stereo controls, however, which is also weird. In the developer usb options it's listed as "Audio Source", and trying to choose a mode for file transfer from the notification just causes USB to disconnect and reconnect and go back to not having anything selected. It didnt work on unrooted, unmodified, stock firmware (chinese B156), and it still doesnt work after I fully wiped all data and flashed a custom rom (KangVIP Slim).
Any ideas? Has anyone else successfully played audio over usb with their mate 8? Thanks guys.
What head unit do you own?

I own a Kenwood Excelon DPX791BH. It has two modes, one which plays local files using its android app and displays the song info on the unit and one which just plays back any audio from the phone at all, both do the exact same thing (act like they're playing, and respond to controls from the unit.) Interestingly, in the file playback mode the current time indicator on the head unit seems to run through the file at double speed. It happens with any audio, notifications or Spotify or local files, etc.
Have you tried with USB debug ON or OFF?

Yeah, I've tried both, it doesn't change anything. It still acts the same way.
Where are stored your audio files? Internal memory or microSD?

the main thing i use it for is just the routing audio mode, which is independent of the location of the files. It basically functions like how a pair of headphones would if you connected it to the headphone jack and plays any audio that is produced by the phone. I've tried playing audio from the SD card and internal storage, however.
Have you tried the Mate 8 USB connection mode as MTP?

yeah, as I said in the initial post selecting either of the two USB connection options from the notification, MTP or PTP, causes the device to quickly disconnect and reconnect with neither selected.
Maybe there is an incompatibility with Android 6.
If you can you could try to connect another Android 6 smartphone.

That's what I was thinking is possible, but I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. Has anyone used USB audio on the huawei mate 8 or any other android 6 phone? The only other phone I have is my old note 4 and that doesn't have android 6 on it.

The compatibility problem might reside in your car stereo, you might find other users of your same unit to contact on a Kenwood car stereo dedicated forum.

If anyone else can confirm audio out via USB is possible on the mate 8, then that would be the next step, as the head unit has worked with other phones in the past, and still works with my note 4. Right now asking here seems like the best idea. Hopefully someone can confirm or deny usb audio out is a possibility with the mate 8

But with which car stereo or device?
Under developer options there's a setting to enable USB audio source. The toggle is under network then select USB configuration. Not sure if this will help but worth a shot

No, sadly. Nobody has responded and it still doesn't work. Nobody has said they have been able to do it, either.

Hi,
I got a pair of ANC USB-C earphones, but the usb audio on my phone has been not working since I updated OREO (the sound comes from the speaker rather than from the earphones).
I've tried switching 'disable USB audio routing' in dev options, but it still doesn't work.
Any solution to this?:crying:
Thanks.

Try Soudabout app from Google play store. Try forcing the audio output through Dock.

Anybody else try this new Pixel 2 phone with AOA compatible stereo?
I cannot get sound to work with my JVC stereo with this new phone.
My old Pixel phone works just fine though as well as every other Android device with AOA support in the past.
https://source.android.com/devices/accessories/protocol
Couldn't get mine to work. Just found the "Audio Out" setting for USB in developer options and have been meaning to try it though.
After Android 8.1 update, Looks like its working again for controls and reporting song info but AOA sound is not working. The audio stays on the phone playing out of its speaker and not through the accessory it is attached to

Hey, any info? Does it work now?
Hi, last week I installed the OTA Android 8.0 update on my HTC U11.
Since this update the audio quality when streaming to my car's audio system or to my pioneer hi-fi system at home is a lot worse than on Android Nougat. Especially on tracks with a lot of high tunes. There's always a slight 'clink' noise. I don't know how to explain this in English..
Have you noticed this issue as well? Is there something I can do about it? Thanks
question are you using any sound mods?

Same for me. Since this update, the quality of phone call when connected to Bluetooth to my car is really bad. No problem with music stream connected to the same car.
I tried managing the new bluetooth options in developper mode menu but it doesn't solve the problem.
The codec used is all the time SBC even is I change it to AAC or aptX or AptxHD.

I have the same issue, it seems it was fixed in 42 version for US market(at least for LDAC)
I have 2 issues with Bluetooth connections with the car. The first is that it picks up interference from the noise of the wheels and engine while driving, and the sound quality suffers and it sounds unclear, unless I mute the vehicle.
The second is that it has a lot of trouble connecting to the car at times. Or, more often, it would not connect the media through the car. Don't know what's up with that.
I know how you feel
I've got exact same problem like yours. Although I'm using HTC u11 plus. My new pair of Bluetooth headphones have the same not OK audio quality. You're right especially the high tunes. I'm desperate, trying to reset everything, but doesn't help. If you find the solution, please let me know. Thank you.

Same issue here. I have the U11 as well and just updated to Oreo and I have the same issue as well. Music over BT was ok on Nougat but after the update, music sounds as if there is digital clipping. And it's there with both my headset and car audio system.
Got the same issue, hope they fix it soon. The only solution seems to do a RUU right now.
Btw. I am on a custom rom (LeeDroid), gonna go full stock and try again.
I would suggest looking in developer options and trying some of the different options for bluetooth in there!
Settings > about > software information > more > then tap the build number till it says you are a developer.
Then
Go to developer options and check under networking, there are some settings to toggle in there.
You may find something you are looking for! I personally haven't tried bt since the update so I don't know if it is a common issue. Good luck!
Thank you!
Thank you very much.
Playing around with the bluetooth options in the developer's menu solved this issue.
The audio quality through bluetooth is now pretty much the same as it was with the previous android os

Share what settings you stuck with so it may help the other people with the same problem
Hey there!
Same problem for me since updating my U11 to Oreo - very poor bluetooth audio quality...
I tried using different bluetooth settings under the developer options but the thing is: no matter what I choose, it keeps switching back to the default values not affecting anything at all.
If it switch back to default SBC it means your headset/BT device doesn't support other codec.

That's not necessarily true. On 7.1 both Bluetooth devices which I use can support either AAC, SBC and aptX. My understanding is this issue occured because of the removal of AVRCP 1.3. I think Google added 1.3 back to Android 8.q because of this.

Yours is not necessarily true either. I'm on 8.0 and I can still use aptX if I want but only if my BT device supports aptX.

I'm not arguing that aptX and other codecs aren't working on 8.0. What I'm saying is that with certain devices, we are no longer seem to be able to use certain codecs that we could use prior. It's obviously device dependent, but to say their isn't a problem and blame it on the Bluetooth device is incorrect. Infact the same problem has occurred on non HTC devices when they've upgraded to 8.0 such as the OnePlus.

Fair enough, I didn't understand.
Does anyone know how to make the bluetooth options under developer options stick? I'm on stock unlocked Oreo, and they go back to defaults as soon as I change them. I've tried changing them whilst connected in the car, but no change. The only thing that could make a difference is that I'm running Pitch Black Substratum theme. Anyone else got them to stick?
In my Audi a3 2015 before oreo i can able to skip the track with entertainment commad and in the display i saw name of the track. After update i have lost all funtionality and the car see my device only like esternal suorce . Can i do something?
