Hello,
Is it possible to connect a microphone (or other audio source) simply with a cable 3.5 jack on the jack port of a smartphone (in my case a nexus 5)?
My question may be stupid, but smartphones jack port is input and output,so is it sufficient to connect a source to understand that is an input?
thank you
Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I have a question about maximum audio output power in micro USB and 3,5mm jack sockets. My problem is that I have large headphones with impedance of 80 ohms, max input power of 100mW which sounds really quiet when plugged to mini jack socket. I wonder if I plug them through micro USB to 3,5mm jack adapter, would they be a bit louder? I have heard that jack output power on s4 is about 4 mW which looks small compared to 100mW of maximum input power on the headphones.
Thanks, Greetings from Poland
Adam
Bump, anyone?
Okay I can now test it because I've already bought the micro usb to jack cable. The problem is I can't force the phone to play music through it. Anybody know how to do that? Photo is attached.
Does Mi A1 supports Type-C audio output? Just bought a converter Type-C to 3.5mm and it doesn't work. But according to this one his earphone does work. Any idea? Or anyone tried with Type-C converter or other Type-C earphones?

I recently researched Type-C audio adapters as a possible way to get rid of the hissing sound. I read a lot of product reviews and it seems that most of the adapters do not work properly on android phones.
This is understandable because right now there is not enough demand (Android phones without headphone jacks are just coming out, and mostly they bring adapters out of the box).
My conclusion is that you have to wait at least another 3 months for good & proven adapters to come out. I assume there is quite some demand from Mi A1 users becasue of the hissing issue, so there will likely be good adapters for our phone in the future.
I strongly assume that Type-C audio output is supported because the Mi A1 is running stock android, which should have native supports given that phones without headphone jacks are becoming mainstream. But I am just guessing.
I found this under developer options. You can disable audio output via USB - which indicates that it is enabled by default (i.e. Type-C audio should be supported by the OS). No guarantees though.
Mi A1 does support audio output from type C port and I've been listening to music with my zorloo Z:ero headphones from day one using Meenova USB type C adapter.
Don't remember which adapter I got as Meenova were kind and sent me usb type C adapter back in 2016 to test my headphones on my LG G5. By the way Z:ero headphones have micro usb type plug so not sure if it changes anything. And they said that Not all micro-usb to usb-c adapter works, it has to be built for usb2.0 host operation.
Edit: not sure where half of my post gone but try and search for 3.5 mm to type C adapter that works with other type C phones and hopefully it should work with A1

Do you experience any of the hissing issue while listening over usb c?
i tested it with chord mojo device and it worked, but then, chord mojo standalone costs twice as much as the phone lol

Nope never experienced any hissing. Neither on Nougat nor on Oreo. It might be because the headphones are quite of good quality or the way sound is routed via USB type C port. Or maybe I'm just deaf and can't hear any hissing noise. Or maybe I'm just lucky and my unit doesn't have such problem. I've tried other headphones with 3.5 mm jack and don't really notice much/any hissing too.
It has a 3.5 mm port then why do you want c type

Theres a hissing sound due to amplifier connected to 3.5 mm jack. That's why.
And if there's option to use type-c earphones why wouldn't you. It's a NEW thing so some users want to try it.

I don't have any hissing sound..iam still on nougat n i use celebrat c3 headphones
I bought this one few days ago and it totally doesn't work, oh and the vid I posted, his type C headphone doesnt work right?
Or probably the converter broke? I don't have other USB-C phone beside me unfortunately.
Got hissing on Sony Mh1c, Kz Zst, Rock Zircon and my Sony MDR 1A.
It's even Oreo.
Xiaomi has Type C earphones, anybody tried them?

Neither do I.
But a lot of users are reporting it. It's a known issue. My statement was based on those users.

I got rid of the hissing sound by using an impedance adapter. I bought the Ifi Ear Buddy. It’s a little expensive unfortunately but it works.
If you rely on system equalizer, bass boost etc be careful, it won't work for USB audio.
I found something
But how can I upload ss there
However, in the developer options, We can select USB configuration.
One of them is audio source. What is this?
Mi ANC Type-C work with media but no calls
I'm using Mi ANC Type-C with Mi A1. The media playback works just fine, quality is good.
Calling is a problem. It was fine before it reset but now the phone freezes if I call with those Type-C headsets plugged in.

Did you manage to get the Xiaomi adapter working with the Mi A1? I have the same one here and it doesn't seem to work out of the box at all.
On my Mi A1 the type c from huawey P20 works great
Does Mi A1 support type c to 3.55mm convert?? I am having prblms with headphone jack so i want to use type c as an alternative!! TIA
Yes, just make sure that USB-C converted includes DAC. Apple USB-C dongle is fine. Dirty cheap, good audio quality and if you have root, you can increase its output level for more demanding headphones. Many other options out there.
Also not sure about your problems, but try removing lint from the headphone jack which accumulates there naturally. It usually fixes all the problems
Hey guys

From what I can tell only certain ones will work, your best option is to buy a pair that comes with the note 10, they are akg ones with usb-c connection. I've tried a random no name adaptor and it didn't work either
