You need a dongle with a compatible DAC built into it.

From my knowledge, htc uses special pins inside of their mini usb for listenin g to music. BUT it has been a knowen issue with some ROM's that they have some issues with accessorys. IF your using a stock rom it shouldnt be a issue

Type-C Audio?

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

Is OB18 or OB19 working with headphones using a 3.5" audio adapter to the USB port?

Is OB18 or OB19 working with headphones using a 3.5" audio adapter to the USB port?
Has anyone gotten OB18 or OB19 working with headphones using a 3.5 audio adapter to the USB port? (So a USB3.1C -> 3.5 Audio jack adapter, which I have) ?
On OB18, I can see the settings that are supposed to make it work, but it doesn't yet recognize the adapter. Even if you're on pie on an OB6, have you gotten that working there? If I have to get a 6T for some reason, I'm just curious to know if the thing will work without bluetooth phones since it'll have no headphone jack, which I don't really like.
Many thanks.
Have you turned on OTG?

Yes, and enabled AUDIO Over OTG in developer options. And have two types adapters. It's not unusual. I've never seen more than one or two out of hundred's that've gotten this working. I hear it works somewhat in Android 9.
Found an OK alternative since my bluetooth works well:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075JBLGLB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bluetooth audio female in 3.5 and long charging battery: Works as well as my wired port.

USB dac audio distortion

Hoping someone can help solve this issue, plus would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced similar.
I have a USB DAC (ZooperDAC) that I used to use with all my phone without issue. Somewhere along the line the essential phone has stopped functioning correctly (it detects the device and out puts audio sounds like an issue with sample rate).
I use the DAC via an OTG dongle and have tested with different dongles without any change.
If I use the DAC with my nexus 6p it works perfectly
If I use the DAC with my computer it works perfectly
Other usb devices work fine with the essential phone via my OTG dongles.
I feel sure its not a hardware issue but any ideas would be appreciated.

USB cable to audio jack

Hey just acquired an essential phone but it didn't come with the audio jack anyone know an alert antivenin that works I tried two active adapters from eBay but they both don't work.. Any suggestions TIA
Check this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...ial-ph-1-list-compatible-usb-c-t3726018/page8
There are quite a few suggestions there for adapters that are confirmed working with PH-1.
It has to be an adapter with a built in DAC. (the more expensive kind)
there are other phones that basically use just a converter cable and output analog audio through the USB C port, since those are just changing USB C to a headphone jack they are pretty common and cheap.
The essential phone outputs digitally to a USB digital audio converter chipset built into the converter rather than just straight analog audio.
So just make sure the adaptor you are looking at says it has a built in DAC and it should work.
sometimes they dont list it though so if you are going for a cheap one then you may have to rely on someone in the reviews having an essential phone.
most razer phone and google pixel adaptors work but I'd still verify they have a DAC, sometimes amazon listings will just list a whole slew of compatible phones.
