I have been using the mini usb audio adapter with my Hero since I purchased it. I use it to charge and to run audio simultaneously through my stereo. Since the 2.1 updates (both Damage and Fresh) the audio no longer works and the sound quality through the top headphone jack is mediocre. I am aware of equalizer apps but I cant stand having something plugged in to the top and bottom of my phone, it makes it horribly annoying to use the phone. I am willing to test anything and i am willing to bet this is an easy fix that probably got overlooked while building the roms.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.

It happened with the g1 when 1.5 came out. Would love it if someone else with a multifunction adapter and 2.1 could test to see if they have the same problem.
I thought phones with 3.5mm jacks wouldn't route audio thru the mini usb jack? When i first got my hero i tried plugging in an old HTC wired headset that connected via usb and when i plugged it in an error popped up that said something to the extent of "usb headset no longer works with phone equipped with headset jack" So i assumed it was because it seems pointless to have audio running thru usb and rca at the same time.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
I suppose it seems redundant but for docks and convenience it makes sense. being able to charge and run audio through the bottom was a big selling point for me.
I have used both damage and fresh, and get audio out using the adaptor that came with my htc touch pro.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
huh, that's the exact adapter I'm using...
note-if I plug in the adapter while sound is going the headphone icon comes up and it plays for a second then stops.

I'm running the latest DC ROM and audio from the mini USB works ok for me with no problems with a multifunction adapter.
I use this particular adapter:

I agree as well that the audio output from the headphone jack is pretty lousy.
I hope I am not misunderstanding but I just plugged in the USB adapter from my Diamond and was able to get audio from the 3.5mm jack on the adapter and charge at the same time. Im running Fresh 2.0D.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
starting to think its my phone, going to test the adapter on another hero, hopefully it just went bad, I've had it awhile.

Same here, I have my multi adapter from my Touch pro and mogul, as well as the wired headsets from those. Both adapters work just fine, but only the wired headset with the slider volume bar works on the hero for some reason, the touch pro wired headset does not.
Works fine for me.
Thanks for everyones help, i just got back from a sprint store where i tested my adapter on other phones and they gave me a brand new one and it still doesnt work. If you move it around a bit it will catch the headphone contacts so it has to be the port on my phone, just happened to be when i upgraded to 2.1.
They recommended i take it to one of their service stores, does anyone have any advice on these places? ie- do i need to restore to stock and unroot, is it expensive... I do not have the insurance because i baby my phones and have never damaged one... of course i have it on my wifes though... grrr...
and yes the sound quality is MUCH better through the mini usb port.
Thanks again for everyones help, i really appreciate it.
Your phone is still under warranty. Unless you obviously broke it somehow, it won't cost anything. They'll take your phone, probably clean out the connector and check its connections, then give it back to you within an hour or so. If they can't fix it, they'll hook you up with a refurb.
I do recommend restoring to stock. A nandroid backup of stock is definitely best, as they won't check to see if you've installed a recovery ROM, and you won't have to re-root to put your custom backup back on. Otherwise, just run the RUU and restore to full stock before you bring it in.
So for those of you who do use an adapter for various reasons, are you able to answer a call without removing the adapter? Specifically, if you're using the adapter with a pair of headphones or speakers, but no external microphone, can you answer the call using the internal microphone without removing the adapter?
Hi all,
Has anyone hooked up a USB mic to the USB port of a Note via a USB OTG cable?
I would be really interested in using a decent USB mic with Audio Evolution that just got released last week.
I'm not sure if you'd need drivers for it, or it would just register as a mic in the same way a mouse or keyboard works OK.
I tried googling but couldn't find anything, except a video in which someone hooked up a USB mic preamp, but once you start doing that you lose some of the portability of just having the Note plus a USB mic.
I've seen the iRigMicCast, but I think a USB mic might have the potential for better audio quality, and also more options if any USB mic worked.
thanks,
Rich
mouse, keyboard, pen drives and a few portable disks on fat32. that's it i guess.
Yes, you can. You need to compile kernel with your usb mic drivers and flash it to your device.
I tried to connect a couple of usb audio devices to the note (otg cable) - No luck...
Hopefully ICS will fix this.

So back on KitKat i was able to record perfectly fine with my USB mic, just plug it in the Note 3 with the adapter and i could record with all apps that support external mics.
Now, a couple days ago i upgraded to Lollipop and all of a sudden that same mic that use to work so perfectly all of a sudden doesn't do anything anymore. I checked my USB adapter by hooking up an external USB DAC instead and that works great still.... i connected the microphone to my PC and it still functions 100% so i do not think hardware is the issue here. Camcorder apps do not record sound and dedicated sound apps either do the same or they become unresponsive completely with my USB mic connected.
Any ideas what i can try or where i should start digging?
Hello,
I try to make the audio adapter with usb working. But no success so far. I cant seem to find any setting to turn it on and when i just plug it in there is no sound. Tried different sound systems but no success so far. Did anyone of you guys encounter the same issue?
Regards

Hi guys, I'm new here and could really use some help
I finally upgraded to the 6T from my OP2 yesterday. I got a T mobile variant (in great condition) and wanted to convert it to international. The problem is I can't seem to connect it to any computer. I have tried 5 computers and 3 different cables, the phone just doesn't get detected. USB preferences remains grayed out and windows doesn't even detect something is being plugged in.
I have tried installing the OP drivers, and qualcomm drivers, made no difference.
I also noticed that the usb-c to headphone jack doesn't output any audio through my earphones. Dash charging isn't working either.
Is my usb port damaged? It seems like theres no data going through it at all

Well if it's not even charging or playing audio then yes, I'd wager the USB Port is damaged.

Regular charging works, just not dash charge. And the buttons on my earphones can play/pause music, but there's no sound output. I've been reading a few pixel forums, this seems to be a common issue with pixel 3's. Was just hoping to see if others here have faced similar issues and how they got around it
Have you tried to clean port with toothpick or brush also your dash lead or charger may be faulty, dash charging will only work with dash lead and dash charger. Also usb type c are prone to failure i would clean and replace lead and go from there before juming to charge port replacement, if necessary ctdi in poland do a great job and authorised repairs for oneplus
