[Q] USB Microphone? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I've been reading that the latest ICS ROMS have USB host working, and that people are using all kinds of accessories, such as keyboard, gamepads, and flash drives.
I wondered if anyone has tried out a USB Microphone with the Kindle Fire. I'm aware that recording audio is possible through the audio jack (using a headset or TRRS splitter), but that limits the mic selection somewhat. There are tons of high quality, stereo USB mics out there, and I think it would be awesome to be able to use them with the KF for music/field recording.
Please let me know if you've tried this and what kind of results you got.
Thanks!

[Q] Nexus 7 USB Audio OTG Headset

Hi,
i want to pair my Nexus 7 2013 with Sony PS3 Wireless Headset to hear music with this headset. The built in microphone of the headset does not matter to me – only the sound output. Normally, it is connected via an usb radio dongle with a PS3, PC or Mac. However, the Nexus (4.3) does recognize the dongle....(due to the lack of drivers)
So i am searching for a rom/kernel that support this kind of feature. What i have found out by googling and reading this forums is that there is an Timurs Kernel that does support "USB audio plug&play handler for DAC". But i am totally unsure if this is what i am searching for...and i do not want to install hundreds of Kernels or roms for try and error.
As said before, my first goal is to hear music with this special headset. My second goal, which would be totally awesome, is to use the nexus´ line in jack, to "record" the sound from my TV and give it out over these Headphones with minimal latency= as i already do with my PC.
Maybe my tasks are totally hopeless, but to me it does not sound like (total) bull****. if so, tell it anyway
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you
*push* ... am i allowed to do this?!

[Q] HTC One X USB OTG audio not working on CM 10.2

Can somebody please tell me what's wrong with USB audio out on this phone? It used to work on stock ROMs. I have a USB OTG cable connected to FiiO E17 (USB DAC), but the sound still comes out from the phone speaker. I have installed ALSA, and checked alsa_aplay -l in Terminal, the phone cannot recognize the DAC, but it works when I use the app "USB audio recorder pro". Are there some drivers missing in CM10.2 (Android 4.3.1)?

Turns out to be a bug in CM. You have to pay $10 to buy USB audio palyer pro to get it work. Upside is that this app can handle Hi-res up to 24bit 192khz.

USB Audio DAC?

Does this work with a USB audio DAC such as the FiiO E7?
Tried it and it works!
Works as is or you had to do something first?
How big is the difference in quality of the sound?
Are you stock or rooted?
Thanks!
Works as is on stock. Not rooted. Sound quality depends on the USB audio DAC, the tablet just passes the audio.

Do you just plug your DAC into the USB connection and start listening or did\do you have to do something else first?
Do you have to do anything special to disconnect or do you just pull the USB cable or the DAC?
I have an Audioengine Dragonfly I'd like to try with my stock v500.
Thanks!
I just plugged it in and then started listening. It worked without configuring anything. Just pull the cable to disconnect.

I tried my Audioengine Dragonfly via USB but I can't get it to work. It lights up but no sound comes through. I've played with the USB settings on the G Pad but I haven't found anything that gives me sound. I'm using the same USB OTG cable that lets me read and write to flash drives.
Sorry to hear that. Not sure why. Perhaps the g pad only outputs certain bit depths that are compatible with certain usb dacs.

Thanks for your input.
What kind of cable are you using? USB OTG?
Which audio player are you using?
Are you stock? Upgraded to 4.4.2?
Thanks!

Yes, USB OTG cable, Stock ROM 4.4.2 (KOT49I.V50020b), Player: I think it does not matter, all audio output is redirected to DAC, but Poweramp, Google Play Music and MXPlayer works for me.

Thanks. I have 4.2.2 stock, USB OTG cable (works with flash drives), PowerAmp Pro, but I can't get audio through my Audioquest Dragonfly. In fact, when I plug in the Dragonfly it locks up the G Pad. I have to restart it to get it to function again.
Did you alter your USB settings on the G Pad?

Yes, I turn on USB debugging in Developer options (for rooting). But I think that it doesn't affect the DAC function. I guess that it depeds on which a USB controller DAC contains (and kernel supports). FiiO and Audioquest using different USB conreller. Fiio E-10 using TE7022L and Audioquest Dragonfly has TAS1020B . You should try conect ot by a powered USB hub..

HTC Max 320 Earphones on the HTC 10

Hey, guys! I've recently purchased the HTC Hi-Res Adaptive Sound 2.0 Headset (Max 320). I've tried to use those on the 10 but had no luck. These headphones which use the Type-C input should technically work on the 10 as it supports the "Hi-Res Audio", but all I get when I plug in the Headset is "Accessory not supported". Could this be a hardware issue or a firmware issue? So I wanted to ask if any of you guys have it and if you do, how did you get it to work? I've also attached a screenshot of the message.

I'd try going under the developer options of your phone and checking the USB input and changing it to see if that gets you anywhere. It'd be pretty weird if the headphones are phone specific. I have a different pair of USB C headphones that have active noise cancellation that work on my other headsets. As a last attempt, try downloading the free trial of USB Audio Player and see if the headphones work with that app.

Hey @mnguyen127! I've tried what you told me to do, by changing the input type but it didn't work. I've tried all the options in the developer settings but it didn't work out. Do you have any other ideas?

Have you tried the USB audio player app? That thing has worked wonders for me when it comes to finicky USB C
I'm in a similar situation, and nothing I've tried worked. Now, I saw someone mention something about firmware on another similar thread, so we might just have to wait for when HTC finally decides to update the 10
I have a pair of JBL Reflect Aware C which are USB-C active noise cancelling headphones, but I've noticed that after a certain update, my headphones won't work without the USB Audio Player app. Same thing happened on my Google Pixel which makes me think that if you roll back the update on your phone, you'll probably get audio out of USB-C.
the high-res certified has nothing to do with the headphone Support. the suppor for those headphones are disabled so deep in System stuff, that me and other couldn't get it to work, even with Sound stuff from u Ultra and u11. you can't use them unless HTC supports them on the 10
I still have those from the Bolt when I tested the device. but can't use them. so either HTC Needs to fix it in their Firmware or they don't want it or so. maybe the cables inside are different from other usb c Audio devices so that might be a Problem too

Is there a way i can route audio through usb type c?

Hello guys,
I just brought type c audio adaptor for my zuk z2 and when i connect my mi in ear headphones pro to it, It doesn't work, The audio still comes through speakers, it shows some power supply is connected, but can't change it or click it,
So my question is, Is there a way i can route audio through usb type c? Cause i have seen type c earphones working on zuk z2 and is it something related to DAC? I tried enabling "route audio through usb" from developers options, but still no luck and my rom is crdroid, so any workaround?
Thanks in advance

If you are using custom ROM, then visit developer options in about phone.
Look for USB Audio routing and enable it.
Something similar to this must be available on stock ROM as well as custom ROMs.

There is an option to disable it but not enable it did that, i also did "select usb configuration" to audio, but i think it may work in some other rom or any mods??? But currently it show me something is connected but won't let me change it so i am positive it should work with some tweaks as it detects it but sound still comes through speakers
Thanks for the help anyway ?
I've been doing some searching around about this as well and I've come to the conclusion that I think it is actually something at a hardware level. You see, for audio over usb-c to work, the manufacturer has to decide to allow for the audio pins to be routed the the USB-C port instead of a headphone jack. Now most modern phones seem to support this but the Z2 with its headphone jack seems to not be wired to allow for letting audio be routed to the USB-C port which is why plugging in one of these straight through USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack converters doesn't actually do anything.
It's a shame since the headphone jack on my Z2 just died and because I can't use an adapter to run my audio through type-c I'm having to buy myself an entirely new phone just so I can have a working headphone jack. Oh well
Hey guys, I know I am 3 years late, if anyone still has this question it IS POSSIBLE to get audio through the usb port, you will need an OTG cable and a usb DAC (not an expensive one, the small ones for pc that take almost no space should work), connect your headphones to the DAC and to the OTG cable and you are done!
