Shouldn't those (from the U11) work on all Android phones which have an Type-C port ?
You connected and tried if they work ?
They are active headphones after all, from what I read

Did you connect and toggle "Disable USB audio routing" then disable it (thus enabling audio routing again) ?
Is there anything you get in messages when connecting them ?

So nothing appears when plugging them in...And and I tried the disable to enable thing and nothing...But it could be because I'm trying in Resurrection Remix, I will try on stock and see what happens

Really? I had some Leeco USB C that worked on my Nexus 6p and Huawei Mate 9. If those phones worked with USB C headphones I'm sure the V30 should also.

means there's no support for usb-c audio in V30, I assume
when taking a look at Xperia XZ2 family (tama) - there's the following:

[Q] Getting rid of annoying static buzzing sound when connecting vibrant to tv

Hello everyone-
I'm not sure how many of you have experienced this problem before, but whenever I use the TV-out feature on my vib to connect it to my standard-def tv via the 3.5 mm jack to av cable, I get a strange annoying electronic buzzing sound from my television. I've made sure the cable is plugged in all the way on both ends, and that the region is set to NTSC, but it just won't go away. It seems to stay no matter what rom I use, so I think it may be either a hardware problem with my phone or with the cable itself. Any help would be appreciated? Thanks.
-much ablidged, bobofosho123
Have you tried a kernel with voodoo sound, and adjusted the settings with supercurio's app?
Have you tried another cable?

I haven't tried another cable, but I a running bionix-v 1.3.1 with the sound app, but I'm not sure what the optimal settings are for TV-out specifically, or what specific options I should adjust within the app? Thanks.
Can anyone else offer me any advice? I'm eager to solve this issue, thanks.
have you tried on a different TV?
Yep, I still get the same problem, and I've never had this problem when I connect any other device to my TV.
Try a different cable. With the first cable I used I didn't get any video signal and loud static. With the second one it was absolutely perfect.
might be think stupidly but are u using edge by chance?

[Q] SGA as a sound card?

Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to use phone as a sound card via USB cable? I broke my 3,5mm audio jack on a laptop. So if you guys know any app or anything at all, please do tell me.
Thanks in advance.
P.s. Sorry if this ir not the right section.
I think this is relating to streaming music via USB to your phone. I haven't found such an app yet. All of them require you to copy the music to SD

If your audio drivers have configurable jacks you can use the microphone jack for speakers/headphones.
And yes this works i just tested it, my PC has a Realtek soundcard,plugged in headphones and reconfigured Mic to headphones.

Xperia S + USB car stereo

Hey guys I did some research already and it appears that the Xperia S can't connect to the USB on my car stereo and play music because it does not come with an MSC mode? I saw that there is a mod in the development section that allows you to mount your phone to USB devices and I'm wondering if that is a solution to connecting my phone to the car, or if there are any other alternatives.
Normally i connect my phone with bluetooth to an sony carstereo. It worked really fine..
I dont know if thats an option for you..
Some people say .76 fixed that problem.. Cant really confirm that. You can give it a try...

I don't think you can control the phone through USB, but you might be able to via Bluetooth, if you have that.

Have you got an auxiliary out socket on your car stereo?

OP you need to root so you can mod it to use the internal as mass storage. That'll fix it.
Ok then...
Maybe my cheap kenwood is just better at this then, but i doubt...

My carradio don't actually controll the phone, it just play the music foldere on my phone, and i am able to controll that...
Sent from my FONY LT26i using xda premium STILL WITHOUT ICS
Shoot, I was thinking about rooting it, apparently it will work if I access MSC mode? I just don't know exactly how to root it, is there like a new root method for .75 update or do you downgrade first? I'll probably find the answer if i dig through the forums but since this is my first time owning an android phone I didn't want to risk bricking it only weeks after buying it!
My car doesn't support bluetooth stereo unfortunately so only the USB cable is an option, and yes AUX works but that is besides the point.
I am in the same boat as you, I have an Alpine 105i, and the Xperia doesn't even know it's plugged in, so won't even charge, never mind be used as a MSD...
Let me know how you get round this if you do.

Honor 7 working with a DAC (Digital to Analog Converter)

Hi folks!
Recently I bought a Honor 7. It works great and you get great value for money.
I couple of days ago I read about using a USB OTG Cable for using a DAC to improve the sound quality (I think the built in sound is not good enough). I have Denon MM400 headphones which needs some power to sound great and the only solution to get great sound is to use a DAC.
This is what I tried:
1. Connect a USB OTG Cable to my Honor 7
2. Connect the DAC (in this case a Audioquest Dragonfly, newest version)
3. Open the app "USB Audio Player" (Demo version)
4. Play a track
As soon as I play a track the phone shuts down and restarts, meanwhile there is a strange sound coming from the USB Port of my phone.
I tried these steps a couple of times before I gave up....
My guess is that the phone does not support the power my DAC needs, but it could also be a problem with the App (USB Audio Player).
Do you guys have any suggestions? Is this a common issue or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks guys!
I found this, I hope it helps. I'd love to see USB OTG DAC on my Honor 7. I think you'd need to edit the file on a rooted phone.
How to enable USB audio policy
To enable USB audio, add an entry to the audio policy configuration file. This is typically located here:
device/oem/codename/audio_policy.conf
The pathname component "oem" should be replaced by the name of the OEM who manufactures the Android device, and "codename" should be replaced by the device code name.
An example entry is shown here:
Code:
audio_hw_modules {
...
usb {
outputs {
usb_accessory {
sampling_rates 44100
channel_masks AUDIO_CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO
formats AUDIO_FORMAT_PCM_16_BIT
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_ACCESSORY
}
usb_device {
sampling_rates dynamic
channel_masks dynamic
formats dynamic
devices AUDIO_DEVICE_OUT_USB_DEVICE
}
}
inputs {
usb_device {

devices AUDIO_DEVICE_IN_USB_DEVICE

}
}

Hi,
Finaly someone else with the same problem !
Same here with my ampli/DAC JDS Labs C5D... It's not the app but a bug with the Honor 7 according to the team of USB audio Player Pro. I had a couple of emails with their devlopper's team (very kind and dedicated btw, they refunded me after several attemps) but it seems to come from the Honor 7.
So it's seems to be a reccuring problem. It's was the with my Honor 6 !
I believe it wont work without a little messing in the build.prop or even the kernel. At least this was the modus operandi I´ve watched with other devices.
Why don´t you save yourself from the trouble and use a nice dedicated media player? You know you will get a nice quality bump, but on the other hand, you will need to carry a extra device.

Hi everyone! I've read somewhere that Honor 7 doesn't support OTG audio (even if it does support OTG for mass storage). It should depend on Honor/Huawei way to manage the usb output.
Maybe you could try this:
- go into the "secret" menu by typing in the dialer this code: *#*#2846579#*#*
- select: 1. Background settings
- select: 2. USB port settings
- try to change (maybe selecting Google mode)
I haven't tested (cause i haven't any DAC to test with) so i really don't know if it is gonna work or not.
If you'd decide to try, give us a feedback please
Cheers

Hi Nicoquag,
I did what you said but that didn't work... The phone restarts automatically and making a strange sound!
Tried it also with the new AudioQuest Dragonfly BLACK which has compability with phones now, but that doesn't work either...
I am a audiophile geek and I have bought expensive headphones!!! I am thinking of selling it and by an iPhone now...
Tried everything...
Just wanted to let you guys know...

Mmmm that's a pity!
Almost every Honor/Huawei device has problem dealing with otg audio.
Have you tried with other apps instead of USB audio player? For example Onkyo HF player or hiby music (they are both free and made for USB OTG playing).
Hello everyone!
Thank you everyone for your support. Nothing really worked so I bought myself a Fiio X1 for a good price today.
From now on I have a DAP that will do the job for me!
If you guys find a solution to the problem, don't hesitate to share that information with us!

Hello,
I confirm I got my FIIO Q1 working on my honor 7 with hiby music while it is not working with foobar2000. But I also installed Onkyo HF in the same time, and have tried many times with each software alternately before got it working with hiby music.

OTG / Hi-Fi Plus on H850

Hello,
My question is quite specific, but I am currently running RR 5.8.4 (20170914) and I noticed that OTG has never worked for me (although it works when in TWRP)
I never minded so forgot about it, but I recently got hold of the Hi-Fi Plus cheaply only (£35) and wanted to try it out. As it turns out, it doesn't work and I was wondering whether;
Is this a kernel issue - can I flash an appropriate kernel to get OTG (and hopefully Hi-Fi plus support)
Or, is this just due to the Rom - should I flash a stock rom (e.g fulmics?)
Thanks!
*I have edited the Title as some of the information has changed based on my research, see my replies below*
Just as a follow up to this - I just flashed Fulmics and it still doens't work. I wonder if they only work on completely stock Rom. I will flash back to stock and update accordingly.
I also will try out OTG to see if that works.
OTG on Fulmics also doesn't work (if anyone is interested).
I hope I am doing something wrong here because it would be great to get this going

Can confirm the Hi-Fi module works on Fulmics, both internally and as an OTG device. If you're using it via OTG, I recommend USB Audio Player PRO. Their custom USB device stack works a lot better than Android's default USB audio device support. Arguably works better than using the Hi-Fi module connected directly to the phone via LG's own apps.
-edited to add: If you're using the Hi-Fi module via OTG or even connected to a PC, make sure you have headphones plugged in. For some reason, the device shuts off entirely and is not recognised unless this is the case.

Thanks. I am surprised by this - I went right back to stock (20K) and it still doesn't work for me (even with headphones plugged in). I wonder if there is something I have missed - I have no OTG support on any of the ROMs I have tried (Fulmics, RR and Stock (20K)
I thought the process would be easier - I expected to be able to listen to Spotify with the DAC - is this the case?
I have taken my phone completely back to stock, (H85020g_00_VMC_GB_OP_0703) and plugged in the Hi-Fi plus and it still doesnt work:
The "Friends" app detects the the Hi-Fi Plus
the 32 Bit DAC settings item is greyed out
I plugged in two different types of headphones
I am now at a bit of a loss as I still don't understand why OTG doesn't seem to be working either (obviously related), so the wider question is, why?
I tested out OTG on TWRP and it works, and I tested the cable I purchased on a Huawei P9 and it also works so I dont think it is the cable.
For reference, the OTG cable I have is this:

Does it play music through the Hi-Fi module at all when you plug in earphones? The stock ROM specific things (like the little Hi-Fi symbol in the notification bar) don't work with it attached as a USB device, it is just picked up as an Android USB audio device.
The cable might also be a factor (although yours looks like it should work); I've found the module to be picky with what will and won't work. Attempting to use the short USB C -> micro USB cable included with the Hi-Fi module (with a micro USB -> USB C OTG adapter, of course) for instance did not work for me.

Hi,
No it doesn't play music through the module, it just plays out of the speaker. If I put the headphones in the top of the phone, then it plays from there, but not from the bottom.
I think there is some issue with OTG, rather than the Hi-Fi module as it works fine when I plug it into a computer. I don't really know how I can diagnose it further. I have verified that OTG works in TWRP (and with other devices) so the cable seems fine. I'm not really sure how to proceed from there.
Thanks,
Charlie
The same thing happens to me in my g5 h860n. I have tried different firmware versions and the problem remains the same. Does anyone have an idea that I should try?
Hello! I have the same trouble. Lg G5 H850 GBR, V20v-EUR-XX, unlocked bootloader, root Magisk, stock ROM and kernel. HiFi plus recognized when direct plug into the phone (not tested with OTG-cable) , but, as was writed by Chalima, it doesn't play music through the module, it just plays out of the speaker. If I put the headphones in the top of the phone, then it plays from there, but not from the bottom. Does anybody know, this trouble of hardware, software, or a HiFi plus?
You probably checked this, but I say it anyway:
Developer options/media/USB audio routing ??
Don't disable this.....
Yes, I try with enable and disable this - not working. Also in prog Device Info HW in USB tab I see nothing.
