Type C charger and audio dongle/adapter?

Does anyone know if a type c splitter or adapter exists that splits the port allowing for the use of 3.5mm headphones and charging simultaneously? I've only seen an adapter by belkin for apple's lightning port. Thanks!

You need a USB-C hub with charging support. I don't know of any that have been verified to work.

Hoping for something like this as well.

The battery of LP3 is excellent so no need to charge and listen at the same time. Or get a BT headset or BT receiver if you gonna use it to your primitive car. =D

unfortunately, there are times when i need to make a call (voice or video) outside of my car and the battery is low, requiring a charge (such as on a flight). bluetooth headphones aren't always readily available (or charged), so I'd rather not be at the mercy of a single port/cable. But yes, the battery is awesome and don't have any issues with that. I just like having options in case of an "emergency." I don't want to have to choose between taking a call or charging my phone.

Any update
any update on this?
I just bought the phone and I need to use the headphone adapter as well as a midi keyboard, if that's not possible its going back - bluetooth audio is not an option, there is a delay.

How convenient! You knew that the phone has no 3.5mm port and that there is no official adapter and yet you ordered it and will return it for what?
Delay? Even a cheap BT headset does not cause any delay while listening to music or streaming video or casting to TV.

Yes I knew there was no headset and yes I will be returning it. And yes it is convenient since there is a hassle free return from Amazon. I needed a phone since mine broke so I bought the Le Pro 3, which seems to have pretty good performance but on the long run it will not help for what I need.
As far as a bluetooth headset, that is not an option since the output needs to be connected to a mixer or a DI etc and not to headphones, so if anyone knows if a usb type c hub will work, let me know... before the 30 days of the return period please! :laugh:

I thought I'd share an update for people that may need this:
I used a usb type-c to usb 3 adapter and plugged in a usb 3 hub (by Unitek). I plugged in the cheapest/smallest usb card that I had (Gigaware, bought it from Radioshack years ago) and the phone recognized it as a sound card right away (auto enabling CDLA), then I plugged in a midi keyboard on the usb hub and everything worked.

Have you tried either of those? Neither seems to have any reviews. All the ones I see on Amazon seem to have poor reviews. Surprising there isn't a good option for this kind of product yet.

I tried searching for "3.5 usb c braided" but nothing showed up as a splitter. The word "lightning" in your description sounds like an iPhone product.
I did try an item off of amazon but had to return it because only the audio worked. Ampere would show that it was connected but it would still show as discharging instead of charging. I hesitate to take a chance, even if it's only several dollars on something without a free return/shipping promise.

Except those are lighting adapters for iPhones, not ubc adapters.
Edit - The photo clearly shows a lightning adapter. In the description farther down the page it discusses using it for the iPhone, but in the "item specifics" it says USB C. Hmmmm.
Edit 2 - One of the reviews shows that it is USB C as you have said.

Pixel USB-C Earbuds not working on OP6

Curious if anyone else has procured the new Pixel USB-C earbuds and tried them on a OP6 and/or OP5/5T. They are suppose to work on ANY PHONE running Android P....I am running the Android P Beta 5 on my OP6 and the phone doesn't seem to recognize that the headphone are plugged in AT ALL.... nada, nothing.

Someone on the OP forum just hipped me to turn on OTG setting....and now they work like a charm....though maybe I'll have to reactive this setting each time as it supposedly turns off after 10 minutes which will be a pain.
And pleasantly surprised to find out the BASS kicks on these things...as all the other reviews I have seen out there say they lacked such.

You need to activate OTG in the settings get them working.

Hey,
I also got these buds for my OP6. They work fine and I also enabled always on for the OTG option. But the music control (pause, start, skip, google assistant) are not working at all.
Volume UP and DOWN are working fine.
Any suggestions?

Nope. But when I activated OTG for the 1st time it did step me through a set up menu for the headphone. And again I am on Beta 5.

Maybe because the op6 have usb 2 and pixel have 3.1?

Naw. It is suppose to work on all phones with USB C and Android P regardless of port version. Hopefully OP will get rid of the need to activate the OTG setting since the OP6T won't even have a headphone jack.

Theory:
The OP6T gets Usb-C headphones and maybe the handling of Usb-C headphones is already shipped to user within the beta versions.
I can't imagine OP lets its users always reenable the otg option when they remove the headphone jack and develop their own usb-c headphones.
I can#t verify this at the moment maybe someone else can?

So today I tried the OP6T USB-C adapter on my OP6 and nothing. Wasn't even detected. I didn't try turning on OTG but come on, I can't believe this isn't supported with Android 9 out of the box. Of course it works on the OP6T fine.

You will have to turn on the OTG until they update the firmware.

Hi guys, I'm on op6 with oxygen 9.0.2 and I would like to use USB c port because jack output is not that good at quality, in my opinion. I tried with enabling otg in the notification bar, but I really can't make my USB c headphones work! Is there anything else I have to do? Thanks

Yeah right that. But that didn't do the trick...headphones still not detected I'm using Sony Wh-Ch700n with USB c adapter. They work fine on mi Mix 2 (and there audio quality looks far better to me) than on OP6 using 3,5mm jack. That's why I would like to try USB c port...

Apple USB-C Headphone Adapter Working?

Is this adapter working for anyone. I can't seem to get it to work on my 7 Pro (I've tested it on other devices and can confirm that the adapter itself does work). Some Googling suggests it works on the 6T, so I would expect it to work on the 7 as well.

The only option I see here is OTA storage; is this the one you're talking about? It also says it automatically turns off after 10 minutes of inactivity. Makes sense for storage, but seems annoying to have to activate this every time I want to use headphones.

I know. It doesnt but It works I think I have the same one as you

OnePlus is using a passive solution E.g the DAC is inside the phone and not the dongle so you need a dongle without a DAC inside.
Shame their is no Standard with Type C for Audio for OEM's to follow too much fragmentation in the cables/dongles..

Agreed. Another OP7 Pro user here trying to use the apple adapter and no luck. So @OcazPrime, this is working for you? Is this a hit and miss issue?

I ordered an Apple headphone jack adapter and I also had no luck. Can't get the adapter to work, with or without otg enabled.

You can not use a direct usb-c to aux cable, that will not work. If you have an adapter with a built in DAC, it WILL work. Fully depends on what you have lying around / ordered.

you cant use USB-C Audio alternative mode.

Not sure why would that be the case on type C to 3.5mm aux cable when it's wired all the same unless your usb type c is missing some pins.

Question Enable USB OTG & Charging Simultaneously?

Hey Guys, I tried searching here but couldn't find my specific answer. I just recently got a model XT2043-4 to use along with Octo4a to run my 3D printer remotely. The problem I am having is that I cannot use USB OTG and Charge the phone simultaneously with a Y splitter. I have been reading around and it seems like it is a Kernel issue with stock. Do any of you know if there is a Kernel that will enable this phone to charge while also using OTG? Or if this is even possible with this device?

Looks like your usb driver supports usb pd and pr_swap at first glance. Is your splitter supposed to be able to negotiate the role swap over the pd protocol or is it just a regular y-cable?

Hmm.. with it being a cheap Y splitter from amazon, I don't think it was supposed to negotiate the role swap. It advertised being able to, but did not specifically mention the Moto G stylus. Do you know of one that would allow and handle it?
For reference, this is the one I got: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Y6VQN99?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

That looks like it should work from the listing. It looks like your kernel config does build the nessery modules
Code:
CONFIG_USB_PD_POLICY=y
CONFIG_QPNP_USB_PDPHY=y
After you plug it into your phone, try running dmesg as root to see if there are any recent kernel messages involving PD.

Thank you, for some reason when I have the splitter plugged in and OTG is connected and working fine, but I plug the power into the other side of the splitter and it drops the USB OTG connection and starts charging instead.
I'll attempt what you've suggested here when I get back to the house. Thanks for the tip.

I use this USB-c "Splitter" and it works perfectly. My primary use is with an external USB-C portable monitor from Asus. I plug in a USB-C PD power supply on one side and monitor on the other. Also have the other version with a 3.5mm headphone input with USB-C PD on the other, and you can additionally use a USB-C hub in tandem..

I am interested in making this work as well. I have a Moto G Pure and it drops the charging connection via software. I can watch this happen in connections with developer mode enabled.
I have actually gotten it to work by unplugging/plugging it in and changing it from connected device to this device in settings. Is there a dev that can modify the kernel to prevent it switching and leave it to charge the phone instead? I am pretty sure this is a kernel level issue but I am not a dev and cannot speak intelligently on this.
