Usb C audio splitter issues - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

I have the latest non beta european rom. I am having issues recognizing usb c headphones (both straight usb to audio, and multiple different types of usb c plus audio and power splitters). I plug them in and my phone will not recognize the headphones yet acts like it is charging. I have tried enabling otg as some have suggested but that doesn't work. Anyone else have this issue? Work arounds? I fall asleep charging my phone and listening to an audiobook. Well I used to. Can't anymore since oneplus broke this basic feature so it seems. Anyone else run into this?

Is no one else having usb c audio issues? Starting to think it's an issue with my phone or rom install. Flash fresh perhaps? (Sounds painful )

Audio via micro USB port on Froyo?

Can anyone running one of the Froyo leaks confirm if the audio out via the USB port works like it should? I'd like to know before I go buy a cable.
I currently have to plug both audio and usb cables in when I get in my car and I'm looking to cut it down to just the one.
TIA
no it does not and this is the 4th post about this lately, btw. try using the search feature.
I searched "audio, usb, froyo". There were 6 results but only 1 relevant, about it not working with the media dock on 11/11. Sorry the search function missed the others, but thanks anyways. Has anyone successfully gotten it to work, might be a better question.
unfortunatly, no. no one has. the official samsung desk dock uses the usb for audio out and its still not working there either.

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.

Can't use USB C earphones with S10e

I tried to connect my JBL earphones (3.5mm jack) to S10e using a USB C connector. The phone does not recognise these earphones via USB port.Audio is played via phone loudspeaker.
Anybody else faces this issue?

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.

Help (Wired Headphones not working)

So my wired headphones stopped working few days back. They were working fine a week ago but suddenly they stopped working. My usb type-c port is also fine. Charging with each and every cable perfectly. My wired type-c headphones are fine because they are working perfectly with other phones as well as 3rd party dongle which is working fine with "charging rapidly" as before but not audio output, "Disable audio routing from usb" under developer option is also fine. Its not showing any message like incompatibility but the sound is not playing from the headphones, the audio is routing from the phone speakers.
Mines the same with the USB pixel buds takes ages to get them to work again. Also noticed that when I charge the device it goes really slow until I twist round the USB c head and it will fast charge again with the same charging lead?? Think the USB c port is on its way pay out.

I dont need to twist or something with the cable, it turns out with charging rapidly automatically, but today i also realize that pc connectivity is also not working with this. :crying:

Had a similar problem. Needed rubber bands to hold the cable at just the right angle to charge or connect to PC - as long as I didn't sneeze.
Suspecting pocket lint I used Q-Tips, toothpicks, and compressed air to try to clean out charging port without luck.
I was ready to go to new device when I dialed it up to metal safety pin. Was last resort as you risk doing serious damage to your charging port, but either way the device had become useless to me.
I was amazed as the pocket lint just kept falling out and falling out - couldn't believe how much and how tightly it was packed in there. This method also worked for a friend who had given up on his Pixel.
Device works fine now but be aware that rooting around in the charging port with something metal could do serious damage.
That's why I always clean my pant's pocket. It also happened to me before with micro usb port of an older device.

Phone power issues AA not working

Hello everyone.
So I have a few issues which I am guessing are all somewhat related.
TL;DR
1) Android auto stopped working
2) if I reboot. It will just power off and needs to be plugged in to power back on
3) usb c to usb c only works one side not both sides. But usb a to usb c works both directions.
Note: my wife has the same phone and had none of these issues with the same cables and such. So it's not cables issues. We also have the same OS.
The longer detailed version.
First issue. Android auto stopped working. At first it told me that there may be an issue with the cable and that I should get another cable. I tried my wife's pixel 3 xl and it worked fine. So it's not the cable issue. I tried restarting. The phone did not. So I plugged it in and it powered on. Now the phone will only boot if it is plugged in. Plugging the phone into the car usb a to usb c it charges on both side of the cable but there's no longer any warning about the cable for Android auto. Again my wife's phone works with the same setup so it's an issue with my phone. Then when plugging my phone in using the oem cable I noticed it only chargers using one side. The other side fails. Tested my wife's phone and both sides work. I then test my wife's cable and same issue with her cable for my phone.
Pixel 3 XL
OS 11 RQ1A.210105.003
I did a factory reset but same issues remain.
I'm open to using a ROM if it will fix the issue.
I saw a few posts on google forums about this issue but not fix/solution so I was kind of wondering if a ROM would possibly fix this issue.
Thanks so much for any help.
Willing to try most items as phone is out of warranty and I really like Android auto and hate not having it.
