Hello, does USB on the go work with the s6? I am into high end audio, and I want to plug an external DAC into the usb port in order to bypass the phone's DAC chip.
USB OTG does work with the S6, not sure about the DAC bypass though...
I've tried 3 different DACs (Fiio Q1, Cayin C5, Schiit Fulla) with the S6 and OTG cable using USB Audio Player PRO and I was never able to get it to work unfortunately.

Hi I can't find a definitive answer but I think it is no. Anyway does anyone know if it possible to do the following?
Get TV out (HDMI) + usb host working at same time
Get usb host (hub or not) + charging the tablet
Get hdmi out + usb host + charging.
I think our tab works with the media dock for the 7" tab but can usb host be added as well? The dock for the note 2 looks amazing and should really be available for all devices like this.
Cheers

I don't know the technical terms behind this but here's the gist of why this won't work: When you are using the HDMI out or the USB OTG it puts the multi purpose connector into a proprietary mode which will I/O a protocol that works with that particular type of device. So when it is in HDMI mode it is using certain data pins to connect with the HDMI pins, and when it is in USB OTG mode it is using some of the same pins to connect to USB data pins.
It can only be in one mode or the other at once, so if you hooked up a hub to a usb OTG connector, or used a USB OTG hub, the jack on the note is going to be in USB OTG mode/protocol, and it will not recognize an HDMI adapter also connected to the hub as an HDMI device that it supports. Only storage devices, HID input devices, and samsung printers are supported on the USB OTG.
Since this is a hardware restriction, I'm 99% sure it cannot be programmed around. I think the same applies to why you cannot charge while using the USB OTG. As far as I know all the HDMI adapters require a usb power source and will somewhat charge the tablet.

Thanks for the info just what I was after, it all sounds like a bummer but not too bad. Sounds like I will need root to connect a ps3 controller then.

No need to root for ps3 controller use. My sixaxis works fine using the standard usb adapter. You'll only need to root if you want bluetooth connectivity.
So I got the S7, and I also own a premium pair of headphones and a portable amp/DAC as well. My headphones are the AKG K553 Pro, and my amp/DAC is the Oppo HA-2. When I connect an OTG micro USB to micro USB (both sides male) cable to the S7 and my HA-2, ALL it does is start charging my HA-2, which it's not even supposed to do. No music gets sent to it.
The ONLY way to get it to work is to use a regular USB to micro USB cable........ put the included S7 USB to Micro USB adapter (white) on the USB side and plug ONLY that side into the phone. It does send music via USB this way, but it still is charging the HA-2 when it's not supposed to, and also the adapter included with the S7 sucks because it doesn't lock in well so comes out very easily.
There has to be a setting or something I can do to change it so the 1st cable I used (micro to micro) actually works but doesn't charge the HA-2. If anyone knows, let me know. Or else I won't be keeping this phone for very long it seems.
Thanks!
I need to get an analog video source (RCA cable) to display on my tablet, but only at certain times. Samsung states that the Tab A 10.1" supports simultaneous charging and OTG when using an OTG cable. So I plan to get an OTG cable that will split to a USB and female micro USB connector (see link). Then I want to buy a RCA to USB dongle, but I'm not sure if all of them will work. I've heard that only the UTV700 chipset one works.....but I don't know why? Any help here is appreciated. I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B5XY8EE/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A40NHWEFTZZNI
It has a switch to switch between the micro USB female connector and the USB connectors. I think by using this, I can control when the video source gets through to the tablet. I only need it at certain times. Thanks guys!
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.
Has anyone tried an "Y" style audio and usb c charge cable with G5? Such as this one ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07176LPDT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cxOHzb2QDXMWE )
I like to use my H850 in my car with a win sheild mount hooked to my car stereo through the top 3.5 mm headphone jack. I tough something like the above adapter might be nice and I could charge the phone at the same time.
I'm not sure if the G5 supports analog audio out over USB or if the above adapter has a cheap DAC in it as I could not find documentation on it. I have read elsewhere that the G5 does not work with USB DACs but that it does work with USB C headphones, which may be using a different standard.
Thanks.
Ok, just remembered I have a small USB audio "card" that I tried with my USB OTG cable. As long as I kept the USB setting on "power external device" it worked just like an external audio device. The card has its own volume up, down, and mute button which worked. It treated it as a "USB audio / dock" and responded to changes to that section of viper4android. The only downside is I am sure it draws more power (since the card has an LED light) and with this setup I cannot charge the phone.
I haven't tested the cards mic input or spdif output yet. It is based on the VIA Envy VT1620A chioset.
I use a USB headset through a USB-A to USB-C adapter and it works fine. I don't know about charging at the same time.
