I have been using a pair of Sony Gold wireless USB headphones on my shield for viewing at night when my family is asleep. Was working great until after the update. When I tried them last night I am only getting audio from the left side. I tried changing the USB audio settings in the menu from 5.1 to stereo to HQ stereo and back, nothing works. This is happening in all apps and in the menu. Tested them w/ my PC and PS4 and work fine there. Any ideas?
i generaly use soundabout when i use usb stuff for sound but it is a new android version so i dont know here sorry.
For me it's the other way around, I was using turtle beach USB DAC for toslink connection to my amplifier, and was only getting stereo sound. Now digital sound, DTS, AC3 is working in kodi and other apps. I have it set to 5.1, and volume control is off. Don't think this helps you in any way, but they did change things related to USB audio, thats for sure.
Did you reboot the shield when changing the sound settings? You must reboot for the changes to take effect.

Ive been using the mogul as an mp3 player for my car. I have an adaptor to plug into the usb connector to which i connect a 2.5 to 3.5 mm jack to my car's aux in jack.
Since the rom update (dcd clean rom, gps, reva) I can't get music to play thru the aux out! I tried making a phone call with the phone connected, and it worked fine. I could hear the person I was calling thru the car stereo speakers. But when I load up an audio app, media player or audio manager, there will be no audio when somthing is playing. as soon as I unplug the usb connector, the music will play from the phone speaker, and will go quiet when I plug it back in. volume is turned up and audio is turned on.
everything else on the phone works fine with the update (gps, reva, tethering, etc...)
Any ideas?
Sorry guys, didnt realize there was a thread already on this. See here:

Okay... Backstory... I have 2 issues with my N4. the first is that the headphone jack has decided that headphones are always plugged in, and I have to use Soundabout app to use my phone without headphones. Cant RMA, so ordered a replacement headphone jack that should be here in about a week.
Main issue... Slimport. I finally got my Slimport adapter a few days ago, and I loved it. I was running the 6/10 build of PA, and audio and video mirroring to my Pioneer appradio was awesome. For 2 days... No rom change or kernel change, and all of a sudden no more audio. Video still works over Slimpport, but audio does not. I tried reflashing same rom, clean install, new builds, old builds, cm 10.1, sabermod, aokp, and the logcats all look about the same, so I am assuming the slimport adapter has failed somehow. Can it fail on just audio and the video still work? I tried the adapter to a couple of tvs with same results. The logcats show "failed to set hw/sw params" "pcm stream closed" I will post the logcat later today, as I left the N4 at home this morning. (Having to use a bloody iPhone 4S as a backup. , but at least ios 7 is fun to play with.)
I am wondering if somehow the headphone jack has degraded further, and is causing this issue, or if my slimport adapter is broken, or if my N4 is failing... setting in soundabout, including the aux hdmi setting, to no avail.
edit: I forgot to mention that when the slimport was working for audio, I did have soundabout installed too, and leaving media audio on 'let app decide' and headset detection ignored still allowed the slimport to function properly. Since it has stopped working I have tried every
Any thoughts?
Maybe the jack has degraded further and the phone thinks a headphone is connected and routing audio through the jack instead of Slimport.
Try plugging in a headphone and see if you get sound through the headphones and video via Slimport.

If I plug in headphones, I can indeed get audio through the headphones. Without headphones, and with soundabout set to ignore headphones, audio is routed through the phone speaker. Without soundabout installed, audio goes only to headphone jack.
When slimport audio was working, I had soundabout set to ignore headset as well.
I solved my issue with Slimport! Headphone jack is still messed up, but slimport audio works now. I had been on. 54 radio. I reflashed the bootloader and radio (44?. 48? Icr) and now slimport works for audio

Hi, i bought Soundlink Mini by Bose (bluetooth portable speaker) and when i hear music or watch videos, my S4 doesn't let me choose all SoundAlive effects because i'm not using cable output.
Is it possible a hack to make available all effects like i'm using wired speaker/earphones instead of wireless?
did you ever find a solution to this?
I'm curious also to know whether it is possible to forcibly select ANY of the soundalive profiles using ANY output...for example, I really like the virtual 7.1 profile on my headphones (sounds great combines with the sound boosted, by editing the files in snd_soc_msm). but as soon as you unplug the headphones it says that the profile is "not compatible" with the speaker. This has the knock on effect of meaning that I have to re-select the profile every time i plug in my headphones.
is there some way of either enabling all profiles all the time, or to set the default profile for headphones?
Hi all-
I'm using this usb type C to usb connector inside my audi for playing music off of the Nexus 6p through the car's Android Auto:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010VFFSL4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I specifically got this one since it meets USB-C spec as many cables out there that boast high transfer rates can ruin your equipment. I'm using the latest WETA ROM and have tried a myriad of combinations by turning off/on Viper mod, configuring its settings, also tuning the eq in my car, etc.
What's weird is that music over bluetooth sounds like much better quality than wired with this USB type C connection. I got an awesome aftermarket sub and amp installed in the car but it seems to bring out the deeper issue. It's when music (mainly rock) has all instrumentals blending that the sound becomes distorted and overloaded. Because our phones already have poor max volume output, I'm having to max out the volume in the car. Also with android auto, you can't use the volume rockers on the phone it seems...seems to override the sound volume.
Anyone have any idea? In this car I can't seem to play music with aux cable (maybe an iPhone would work) and USB stick doesn't mount songs. Don't know if it's the cable I bought, the ROM (has the A.R.I.S.E. mod built in), or the DAC in the AUDI?
Thanks
Hi Guys
I have been searching and researching for hours but can't get this to work the way that I want, although I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.
I recently purchased one of my dream cars, and promptly changed the headunit to a more modern unit, to allow me to have spotify, google maps, etc etc. I purchased the Eonon GA8150A for this purpose, and it sounds OK.
I was always planning to upgrade the sound, namely using a Helix DSP and amplifier, upgrading the speakers, etc etc.
Since the helix has an optical input, I figured I could maximise quality by running a digital signal to the unit - to this end I purchased a Behringer UCA202, as its a class compliant USB DAC which has optical out.
I connected via USB, and went into developer settings, and changed the "Select USB Configuration" to Audio. I plugged in some headphones for testing, and....nothing.
After some research, I downloaded the Onkyo player, and this worked! I was getting audio via my USB dac, through the headphones. But spotify, bluetooth, radio, nothing else worked.
Was wondering if what I am trying to achieve is possible?
The only other alternative it to sell the uni, and purchase an AVIN Avant 3 unit - this comes with high quality 4V pre outs but its a lot more expensive and i really dont want to do this. I could use the RCA outs on the Eonon to feed the processor, but as mentioned, these leads to many stages of A/D D/A conversion that will markedly reduce quality.
Thanks

Ok updates - it now works - the inbuilt audio player via USB, spotify, both work, however the radio doesn't send audio via the DAC, and nor does it send audio to the dac from my phone via bluetooth.
Not sure why this works now, maybe I had to turn off the car a while so the unit could properly reset?
The head unit volume control however doesn't work to adjust the volume of the audio coming from the dac.
Any way to get radio and bluetooth working via the dac?
Cheers
