Hi,
I just got an usb to mini jack cable but when i play audio it plays via the speaker and not the headphones.
is the cable not supported or do i need to change a setting somewhere
If i use the headphones that were with the phone they work.
But not my new usb to mini jack with my own headphones.
I also have a bleutooth unit but this uses mini-mini jack, and i twas supplied with a headphone inc Mic, the normal adapters for mini-mini jack to mini jack will enable the Mic all the time and can't play stereo, is there a solution for this?
I was already thinking about using tape or something
(the plug for headphones + mic is divided in 3 parts and a normal plug is divided in 2 parts)
thanks for any advise
I have a t595 desktop dock (model # ECR-D979BEBSTD) for Galaxy S I9000:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECR-D979BEGSTA
I'm using it with with the Samsung Home Desk app. That app has an option to divert phone’s audio to the external audio jack on the dock – it does that via the phone’s usb (app settings icon> Internal speaker> off). All works great with the usb power cord not connected. But I get terrible distortions on the sound via that external jack with the usb power cord connected. It does not matter if the usb power is via an AC outlet or via usb jack on a pc. It’s not a malfunctioning dock since I tested this with two different docks with the exactly same results. It also isn’t a bad phone since I get no distortions on audio via the phone’s audio jack with or without usb power connected directly to the phone.
Any ideas as to why this happens or rather how to eliminate these distortions?
I can confirm the Problem! Im using a I9000 with the Dock D968BEGSTD.

I just bought my first smartphone , a Galaxy S5. While I new to smartphones, I am not new to tech. In my car ( a 2015 Subaru Forester) I was powering my S5 with the USB cable plugged into the car's USB port. I had the phone playing Pandora. I sort of assumed that I would get the music signal on the USB line but found that the enabled BT was overriding the USB so I was getting the music with my radio set to BT-A. The problem was that the every few seconds the volume would drop and the phone would make two beeps. If I disconnected the USB cable and ran off battery, this issue went away.
On further inspection, I noticed that on every volume drop with beeps, a USB connection notification was appearing in the notification lists. I just wanted the USB for power but it seemed to be trying to connect over and over and each time, the notification was interfering with the audio. I could not find a setting to stop the S5 from trying to connect to USB data.
Any ideas?
The Nexus 5X's USB Type-C port can both input and output audio, however mine needed some setting up before it would work.
I plugged in a Blue Yeti microphone into the Nexus 5X using both the USB Mini-B to USB Type A cable (comes with the Yeti), and the USB-A female to USB-C male adapter from Google. The Yeti powered on instantly, it's red light turned on, and I could hear myself through its no latency monitoring via headphones (Blue Yeti has a 3.5mm headphone output), however the 5X would not recognize the Yeti as either an audio input nor as an audio output device.
I went into Developer Options, scrolled down to "Select USB Configuration" and changed the radio button selection to "Audio Source". I scrolled down even farther to the Media section, and there I disabled "Disable USB Audio Routing" (you might say that I enabled USB audio routing). There was no immediate effect, so I unplugged the Yeti, plugged it back in, et voila! The phone recognized the Yeti as both a microphone AND an audio playback device simultaneously.
I don't know for sure which of those two settings truly made a difference, as now that I've got USB audio to work, neither of those settings seems to make a difference anymore -- it seems as though my Yeti is permanently approved for USB audio in my 5X!
The USB audio works for listening to Google Music, and even for regular voice phone calls.
Do you have a USB microhone/headset/headphones/DAC? Get a good USB-A female to USB-C male adapter and you'll be quite pleased! And hopefully you'll be luckier than I was and it'll just work when you plug it in, but if not then toggle those USB audio Developer Options as described above.
Finally someone has posted on audio out and in via USB c! Thanks!
Just plugged the 5X into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. The phone recognizes the first two input channels and can record in mono or stereo (input 1 as left track and input 2 as right track).
Also it does seem as though you must keep the "Disable USB audio routing" off for it to work.
Sweet, guess I won't need the SoundAbout app anymore.
This is really nice. Able to route usb audio to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic. Much better than the on-board dac, and no longer tied to a specific app.
decided to add this on my index
[INDEX] LG NEXUS 5X Resources Compilation Roll-Up
Isn't this just a USB sound card over OTG? I plugged in a Logitech sound card with line out and mic in and it worked without any tweaks.
My 6th gen iPod nano plays usb audio perfectly fine on my crappy pioneer deh-3300ub headunit, but no matter what settings or cables I try the stereo says "N/A USB" with my N5X plugged in.
Anyone get the audio-in-via-usb to work with the built-in Google camera/camcorder app?
I am using Nexus 6P
The audio-in DOES work with this video app: https://goo.gl/Dtu14
But with the built-in camcorder, it only records audio from the phone's mic, not the usb mic.

I would think google designed it to only use built in microphone. It would take some mods or tinkering to get it to do otherwise.

Can you test and report which apps can record audio with the blue yeti? free and/or paid, if you have the time to test of course.

That's because you most likely did just get a basic 3.5mm to USB-C adapter with no active circuit. I'm fairly certain that Nexus 5X do not support analog passthrough over USB-C, which means you will need something with active circuitry.

You need a portable DAC (get a cheap one like Fiio A1 for 25usd). Nexus 5X USB-C is not USB3/3.1 interface, so it won't work.
I have a Tmobile note 10+ non rooted android 10. I've been using the stock akg headphones and samsung head phone adapter with my bose headphones for a few months.
Today my phone would not recognize the adapter or the stock usbc headphone that came with the phone. It just plays sound from the speakers.
In the notification panel it keeps switching between usb connected and disconnected.
I plugged both pairs of headphones into my wife's s10+ and it works perfectly.
Any suggestions before I factory reset?
It might be the usb port, the otg adapter works? Also, you can check it by connecting your phone to a pc to see if both comunicate, if these tests fail, definitively the usb port is faulty
Check the USB-C port for pocket lint. It's very common for them to get packed with lint over time. This will prevent the USB-C cable/device from fully inserting.
If you have some in there just use something small soft and non-conductive like a tooth pick and some canned air to get it out.
