Does Honor 8 support USB-C audio?

Does Honor 8 have that option to work with USB-C headphones, despite having built in headphone jack. Have anyone tried it??

I guess not. Didn't worked on one USB-C earbuds I tried.

Hmmm... Interesting I have read somewhere that honor 8 pro supports it but I assume that also not all USB C headphones work with all USB C devices???
Included 3.5 mm jack is a bit quiet for me so I hope a separate DAC could make the experience better...

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.

what do you see checked in Developer options under Default USB configuration?

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.

Yes, but some 3rd party cables may block it sliding.

thx Mackay53 for your fast answer. So there is no problem with the original cable

Yeah, works fine

The original cable is flexible and can easily be moved out of the way. As Mackay said, no issue. To be clear, I couldn't get my device to work with a Google pixel adapter cable, the Xiaomi provided one works.

yes, especially with MIUI, they have pre-configured EQ settings for the wired headsets.
but not with BT. i just hope MIUI is open to do this in the near future, to have EQ settings for BT.
without installing 3rd party apps

+1. I've tried everything I can think of to get those things to light up.
What happened to the post from the outraged sound engineer?? Did someone delete it?

Can't slide it with my Baseus adapter or Ugreen cable, but the oem cable works fine.

Calling with USB C Earphones?

Hi,
So bought these awesome Razer USB C earphones which have a built in mic. They work fine as both earphones and a microphone but for some reason the native phone app will not route the call audio through them!
I have no doubt this is a quick fix for Samsung kernel or otherwise as they remove the USB port from the next generation of phones but I would expect USB C earphones to work. Other phones like Oppus, Huwei, HTC and Pixel don't seem to have issues.
Any ideas here?

I have the OnePlus USB-C Bullet earphone, it works fine both for audio and for a call.

I've been trying my old HTC headphones I got with the U11. Sadly these don't work at all as they are brilliant headphones.
Probably because of the active noise cancelation they need a specific driver.

Okay, will return and try these instead.

The OnePlus USB-C earphones didn't work with my Note 9 either. At least these are cheaper...

I believe some of those headsets use a analog pass trough instead of having their own DAC so they only work with a phone that supports that

Issues with the headphone Adapter

Has anyone else been having problems with the headphone Adapter not working with other headphones during calls? I tried using my AKG headset and I can hear the person but they can't hear me.

I don't usually use wired headset that much anymore. For testing, I tried another old 3.5mm headset that I have using the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter and I was able to hear sound and the mic works as well. So, it could be specific with the AKG headset you have. can you try other headphone to see if it works/

Try cleaning up the headphones 3.5mm connector pin with rubbing alcohol,
There are 3 strips do those then try again.
