Why would you want to do this on a device that has a 3.5mm jack?? Of course it doesn't work, it doesn't need to... That's the most likely reason.

Go into developer options and select audio output via usb.

USB Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter

My issue
Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6P and want to route my audio through a USB type C converter to 3.5mm headphone Jack. I have purchased one online, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen that the Moto Z has this adapter and I assumed one I found online would be compatible with my 6P. The reason I want to do this is because I prefer for the AUX jack to come out the bottom of my phone.
What I have tired
Changed 'Select USB Configuration' to all the different options and tried playing music.
Tried 'audio routing' apps from the app store
What I would like to know
Is this because I need to change a setting in my phone to route music out of the USB C?
Do I need to get some kind of DAC to allow support for this?
Has anyone else tried this with their phone?
Thanks

If you don't mind my asking, why bother?

One reason is that to me it makes more sense to put your phone upside down into you pocket. I've always done this at least. So when listening to music I have to put it the other way round. I have also heard the USB C port offers better sound quality.

Re:sound quality, you'd possibly see a quality increase if you use an external Digital to Analogue Converter or fully usb-c headphones. BUT, if you're using a little dongle (if it's possible), then the phone is still managing the analogue conversion and, thus, a very similar quality of audio output. Now I don't know of the 6p's ability to pipe it straight out iPhone 7 style through a dongle, but short of buying a DAC and going whole-hog on an audio upgrade, I'd just flip your phone the other way in your pocket and go the standard route.
Just my $.02
I have been looking for a solution to this too and I seem to have found one. I poked around on Amazon and I think I finally found adapters that work, here's the link https://goo.gl/QT2ith This the only one with positive reviews so when it comes in on the 30th I'll let all of you know.

Looks quite similar to the one that I got. Hopefully it works for you! Let me know how it goes
I read recently that the current implementation of audio over USB-C isn't very efficient or battery friendly. There's a new spec being ratified to provide audio like the iphone can. Hopefully that's a firmware change and not a hardware one.

I don't think it's possible on the 6P, not without using a USB DAC anyway.
As far as I'm aware, the adapter you have is for a USB 3/3.1 interface. While the 6P has USB-C it is USB 2.
I'm able to get audio out of my USB C port, but it's with a USB headset. Haven't tried it with a 3.5mm headphone adapter, but havd no reason to try it either.
This is weird. Because i have a pair of Sennheiser Urbanites (Wireless edition), and i can use bluetooth, aux, and usb (like for a computer) audio. I once tried to turn off the headsets (bluetooth off, aux and usb still works if connected), and turned off bluetooth on my phone. Then i used my USB type C to USB type A Female adapter (from the google store), and connected the usb-cable from the headsets into the type c adapter. it did output audio through the usb-cable.

Bluetooth headphones usually have their own DAC, so the audio for all but the Aux is still being sent through the DAC first, which is supported by older USB standards.
The new USB 3.1 Audio standard can pass through analogue audio from the internal DAC, which is what I believe phones such as the Moto Z utilise. Otherwise the adapter would require it's own DAC, which would make it far larger and more expensive.
Not sure if you will find a good solution at the moment since they just created a standard for audio over usb c http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160927006252/en/USB-IF-Announces-USB-Audio-Device-Class-3.0
Did the amazon converter end up working for you?
My experience so far.
Hi, I ordered some usb c to 3.5mm & out of the box so far they aren't working. I tried Neutron and tried to force the audio to usb but unsuccessfully with phone not recognizing the USB connection.
On the other hand the type C to usb-a adapter worked beautifully using mixplorer. If I get working, will update. Thanks.

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

I assume out mean the OTG Storage setting under "System" menu ? That should do the trick.

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...

Hmmm. I never tried an adapter on my OP6. Just the Pixel Buds. My daughter has my old OP6 now...otherwise I would try the adapter I just got for a friend as it works on my OP6T. I do know some adapters only work on certain phones. This is the adapter I bought (it list OnePlus)

Thank you, please let me know if you can make it work in USB C. I'm really curious., If it is going to work, I will definitely buy a better adapter.

how can i put my device as a speaker??

What I want to achieve is to use my device as a speaker to connect it to an HDMI adapter via a connector cable jack

I don't think that is possible, the media is running on what device? so let me get this clear, you want the to use the phone as a speaker by connecting the phone to an HDMI cable? I don't think it's possible. You can use phone as a speaker connected to a PC, just load the media to a laptop connect the laptop to the TV using hdmi, set the audio such a way that audio is played on laptop speaker and then use this https://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/04/android-2/how-to-use-android-phone-as-pc-speakers.html
to make it play on the phone, I can't guarantee it will work or not but you can try. I did the above stuff yesterday to play my media on TV but connected the laptop's sound to a BT speaker, here instead of a BT speaker you are using a phone that's the difference I see

How are you setting it up? When I plug in through USB-C in my car, I don't get sound at all (I used to, with my old Pixel 3XL).
I have to plug in through the headphone jack, which gives me pretty bad interference.
It's the main reason I was initially considering the Mi10 Pro, but I've decided it's not worth it, as the camera set is about the same.

it is running out of the box. just plug it in and all sounds are playing boys via the usb c headset.. no settings were needed.
same with my usb c DAC dongle.
for me the mi note 10 pro is worth it because of the bigger storage, (i make a lot of 4k Videos)

Question Type headset not working

Type C headphones & type C to 3.5mm adapter is not working in S22 ultra. I have tried toggling of 'Diasable audio routing, in developer options but it doesn't work.
The error showing as 'The connected usb device is not supported'.
Also I have tried updating the USB-C app from galaxy store, still the same error.
Sounds like non compatible adapter

I had the same problem with a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter that came with my Tab S5e. I got an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter for $10 from Best Buy. Works great.

It is. Even the older adapters that Samsung included with its older tablets and phones won't work. The Apple adapter I mentioned is non-proprietary.
