Can anyone tell me the maximum wattage my T999 loudspeaker puts out on stock firmware. My reason for asking is I am a chef looking for a bluetooth speaker or sound bar to put in my kitchen so I can listen to Stern or music or whatever and all to portable speakers seem to have a max output of 3 watts and I was wondering if my phone already put that out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have the exact watts available, but I was in the same situation. The cheapest, loudest, and most effective method was using powered computer speakers. When I used unpowered speakers, there was zerop difference between the loudspeaker and my externals. I don't know if price is a factor for you, but you can find them from 20.00 +
Heres what I bought for 20.00

For what you're talking about.. 0w.

so 3W bluetooth speaker would make a difference just not a big one I guess

Hi all,
Could anyone confirm 100% that this is the correct pinout for the HTC One X+?
Tip: Left signal
Ring 1: Right signal
Ring 2: Ground
Sleeve: Microphone
Thanks!
P.S. If anyone knows the impedance and other technical details of the microphone input it would also be appreciated.
Anyone?

No idea I'm afraid but if your trying to get a good line in/out then an otg cable and a usb sound card might be worth trying. Btw this is the one x forum and not the one x+. Imagine for this they are likely the same though.

I have never in my life encountered ANY variation whatsoever in a STANDARD 3.5mm headphone jack or port...
It is an industry-standard connector.
Only on custom sound equipment have I ever come across this.
A pair of headphones you will use on a mobile phone have the industry-standard jack that goes in the industry-standard port. They are ALL the same.
As for impedance, I have no idea, but who cares? What are you planning on driving with it? You do know that the audio hardware in the HOX and HOX+ is crap...

Actually, the standard 3.5mm jack is 3 pole, Left, Right + Earth, so this isn't standard anyway.
I've made up a lead and can confirm the above is correct...

No the port isn't standard because it has to have inputs for inline remote and other stuff...but everything IN the port IS in the standard place so if your headphones don't have any other functions it's a bog-standard connection.
That was my understanding. Apologies if I am wrong, but nothing else would make any sense.
Yeah, it is correct. I'd like to know if there is a possibility to add anothe or a whole two speakers to nexus 5 for stereo music :cyclops:. Yeah, it IS possible, but would it be fairly easy to do? Is there enough room to put there another speaker? Or maybe I would need to remove microphone, put it somewhere else, then rewire headphone jack wire to the additional speaker and the phone would think that I am using my headphones all the time..? Would I need a custom circuit to reroute headphone jack and still use it (amplifiers etc)? Would anybody risk their phones to get a decent stereo on their device? I don't have N5 yet, but I am planning to get it in few weeks (1 to 3 weeks). What is your opinion on this? Are there any experts in DIY electronics to help me (and probably other users) with this? Yeah, a lot of questions, but maybe someone is competent to answer these? I would be really happy Thanks
EDIT: Is this right section?

Wrong section. But good luck.
I don't think there's enough space, you don't have a stereo amplifier for the speakers and I think you'd be better off with a phone that was designed from the beginning with stereo speakers.
Also, having stereo speakers right beside each other kind of defeats the purpose. The OPO does this and there is little to no discernible separation between both the speakers on the bottom.

Exactly. It would be mono x 2 ... Though some pple don't realise different sound comes out each spker.NOT XDA readers

Hi guys,
I've been reading contradicting opinions on sound quality from headphones output for this device (adapter actually). How would you rate it in terms of loudness and overall sound quality? Also, do you find it inconvenient to use in any way?
Thanks,
g

i dont believe thats contradicting opinions... i tested 3 or 4 handsfree (xiaomi noise cancellation usb-c, sony mdr nc-31 em and other cheapest) and i did a comparation with xperia (z3 and z5) and sound is more natural on xiaomi; loud is it enough (if u dont like ,u can root and increase manual the volume until u can damage ur ears)...is a very good phone about sound
Thanks 7tky. What I meant by contradicting, is that some reviewers claim that sound from wired headphones is awesome, and some claim it's crap. That's why I wanted to hear opinions from people that actually own and use this phone.

I'd say sound from this phone is pretty damn good, and GSMarena's tests confirm that. The phone can power pretty big headphones too. It powers Sennheiser HD6XX's pretty well and those are 300ohm cans. Obviously not close to as clear as a dedicated DAP/Amp combo but still impressive that it can power such headphones to near uncomfortable volume. Also according to a review that I can't seem to find anymore, the phone outputs analag signal from the USB-C port so the dongle doesn't have a DAC and Amp in it. All it is doing is turning the USB-C port into a 3.5mm jack which probably explains the capability to power my Sennheiser's.
Yup, I looked into this myself. I had a DAC and AMP combo for my old Moto Nexus 6 (I wasn't happy with the sound quality of the jack). This phone is surprisingly nice. I ended up buying a few extra USB C headphone adapters straight from Google (the official ones for the the Pixels were $9 when I got them). I haven't needed my DAC and AMP since switching.
And from what I've seen the DAC is internal on this phone (as opposed to the Pixel 2 which needs the DAC to be in the dongle). Idk if that allows the port to send more power straight to the headphones or not. But I'm happy.
I thought I would get annoyed by the dongle, but I ended up just ordering a few of the Google ones and keeping them on my headphones.
Plus, Viper4Android works fine for me for some additional tuning of audio (I'm using AOSP ROMs though, not MIUI, not sure if it works in MIUI).
Keep in mind I just use some Klipsch earbuds (R6, X11, and AS-5i), nothing that requires a crazy amount of power to run.
Hope this helps.
Ok, I bought the phone and tested it for a while now, so thought I might share my experience here...
With global rom phone came with (unfortunately, I don't know the version), sound quality was great, but volume was low. Further, it had a weird bug - when I was listening to music and notification cut trough, volume would jump much higher. I could easily recreate the bug by playing music, then going to sound settings and touching slider for ringtone/notification volume, then back to music. Volume would jump higher every time. Some googling reviled that lots of people experienced similar volume jumping bugs.
OTA update (again, I don't know to which miui version) fixed this, but volume was still relatively low. When I say this, I'm comparing it to my previous devices. I'm not trying to fry my ears, though it's always nice to have the option as some music is simply mastered to much lower volume, especially older stuff.
Now I'm on lineage and volume bust is just what miui was missing - few notches higher. I listen modern pumped-up stuff 2 or 3 steps below max, and crank it up to max for very low volume old stuff. Perfect balance for me.
I guess tweaking the correct config file would adjust volume limit on miui. If anyone knows how to do that, please share, it would be much appreciated.
If someone's curious about it, I'm using zero audio carbo tenore earphones.
My audioquest Dragonfly usb DAC stopped working after a MIUI upgrade on my mix 2 since the summer. That is, the phone recognises the DAC but the sound quality light stays red (instead of say, indigo) to indicate no signal.. Updating to MIUI 10 made no difference. I've confirmed it works with the 2S running Android 8 opr 1.70623.032 - My Mix 2 has opr 1.70623.027 and he meeting if that's a difference or if anyone has similar issues of a USB digital audio converter not working on their Mix 2?

I'm interested in answer to this question too. Have you tried messing with developer options? Is the problem miui related ; did someone test on linage / aosp based roms?
...anyone tried this thing?

Is the google dongle more sturdy? i have a Brainwavz HM5 which have a thick cable and the flimsy cable in the dongle supplied with the mi mix 2s feels like it will break any second from the weight of the cable on my HM5.
i skipped the original adapter and buy a new adapter(it's a dac hidizs sonata hd )
and use with my earphones is 1more triple driver.
no comment for that, oh i just forgot that, 1 word - perfect :v

This is amazing. Thanks, I'm ordering them. Now I just a need OnePlus to make a charger with a USB c port for the wired headset so I can talk and charge lol
To be able to charge at the same time, you will need active headphones instead of passive which means an extra soundcard that will pull energy from the battery. As passive headphones when detected changes the USB + and - to connect the headphones to the internal soundcard/DSP-board and if you also insert 5v at the same time would probably fry the DSP-chip. [emoji38]
I'm using a USB active splitter and an old 3.5mm headphone so I can charge at the same time, it works but I do get worse sound quality and also lower sound levels this way. Best solution is a good bluetooth 5 headset, then you both get good sound and can charge the phone.

I tried a USB active splitter with a regular pair of 3.5mm headphones. Audio quality was okay, not impressive at all, but using them for phone calls......horrible. I could hear the person I'm talking to, but they would claim they couldn't hear me or I sounded far away. I'm not big on Bluetooth headsets. Especially now considering most of them come with 2 earbuds. I prefer a single earbud. Maybe I'll have to look on Amazon again and see if theirs anything new.
USB-C pixel buds are great. Had them for around 8 months now and no issues.
If you are looking for a set that have the ear tips then probably best going with the USB-C bullets. Great sound but I don't use them anymore because I prefer a set that don't go deep into my ear
Hi guys, anyone might have an idea how to bypass the stupid EU limitation on the audio jack volume?
Last time that I've done it it was so easy!
On a Pocophone you need to change the region outside EU and the audio DAC is enabled, louder and clearer audio.
I really need this as I have some professional studio headphones and his phone has the weakest volume of everything I've tested with, other phones, laptop, tablet.
No need to tell me to change the headphones or buy an headphone amp please.
Many thanks!
