Coming from the Note 2- I used it with my Tenor 7022 equipped external DAC/amp without issue.
The Note 3 will not output sound through this DAC, I have not changed anything.
Any ideas?
Maybe the player. Try neutron or usb audio player pro. There are demos for both.
Are you getting sound pushed to USB? Is it in format DAC can read? For example Note3 players do not support AC3, like Note2 could, I had to use VLC to watch a movie encoded with AC3. I'm not sure about PCM and DTS.
I have been using with fiio e18 with no problems, it works with any music player even stock.

I have been playing with HDMI out. Using official Samsung adapter EPL3FHU and TV Panasonic TH-42PX80E. So far I cannot get out audio consistently.
When connected first time, I had system sound off, so I could see picture, but no audio (form system) as expected. When playing movie with BSPlayer, VLC, or MX I got audio out of built-in speaker though (and not through TV).
Reconnected with system sound on, I could get system plonks and boings out of TV. Playing songs from Neutron was fine as well. Even playing original Samsung demo video via VLC produced sound on TV.
Then I tried one .mkv with DTS (which plays fine in BSPlayer with sound on internal speaker) and the sound through HDMI stopped working. Then I tried again Neutron, VLC, but I could not get even the apps that were working, working them again. System sounds are fine though.
And so far I was not able to recover.
It looks like there are some incompatibilities, probably between some players, sound formats which break one part of sound path (but not all, as system clicks are still transported correctly). And this break seems to be kind of permanent, until some reset. But simple reboot does not solve this.
I wonder what I might be missing.
I can partially reply to myself. The problem is that some players (it seems BSPlayer, and MX do that) cannot play DTS through HDMI (though BSPlayer can play it through internal speaker) and for some reason it resets volume settings for multimedia to zero (i.e. no sound). Once I realized that and "reenabled" volume for multimedia, it seems fine for Neutron, VLC and system sounds.
VLC can even play DTS through HDMI out, but for some reasons suffers from sound being out of sync with video.
So now the question remains, what is good video player, which can get out DTS through HDMI out.
Have you been able to get multichannel audio out HDMI?
Is there any way to make the tube amp effect for the stock music player as default...it seems , like it only works for earphone...I want to use it for the tablet or bluetooth speaker output...
Hi -
I know that Android these days has relatively decent USB audio support, when connecting an external DAC.
On the Google Pixel I'm connecting a Fiio Q1 external DAC and sometimes it skips in songs, as if it's a scratched CD, when playing through Spotify. I know there is an app (USB Audio Player Pro) which will provide proper support for playing audio through an external DAC, but only if you use that app as the player. So will not work when streaming from services such as Spotify.
I believe this is mainly due to sample rate conversion, which apparently Android does by default, instead of matching the actual sample rate (e.g. 44.1 KHz CD quality will get upsampled to 48 KHz, an unnecessary step).
Is there a way to get better support, perhaps through modding the stock ROM, or installing a custom ROM? Is this a kernel issue? Or a ROM issue?
Thanks.
Hello all. I searched up and down the forum (and google). No one has the same issue.
Current setup:
Nexus 7 (2013)
Resurrection Remix v.6.0.0 (RR-O-v6.0.0-20180210-flo-Unofficial)
Elementalx N7 7.00 (all stock settings just turned on otg+charge)
Running through OTG --> USB hub and DAC in car
Issue: MP3's stutter, lag, crackle and pop during playback.
So far:
Tried Several music player apps (blacplayer, mediamonkey, musicolet, VLC, Kodi etc.
Tried 8+ different ROMS, same issue.
In VLC tried increasing the buffer, turning on/off all hardware acceleration settings. Same
Blue Ray rip .MP4 files play perfectly
YouTube plays perfectly
Spotify audio plays perfectly
Any experiences?
If you tried that many ROMS and players then the problem is with the DAC, unlikely, or the mp3s themselves. I'm also assuming you didn't have the same kernel installed on each ROM.
I did try a few older versions of elementalx. Do you think a DAC would have problems with a specific format? .MP4 files work, YouTube, and Spotify work well also. I will try connecting it directly to the amp without the DAC. Just wondering if it was software related. I can't fit it inside the dash attached to the headphone jack, which is why the DAC is necessary.
thanks for the response.
Unlikely the DAC since it's taking straight digital signals and doing it's own conversion. I'm leaning more toward the tablet not liking the mp3 decoding.
I haven't used a mp3 in many years so I don't know how the Nexus 7 actually responds to them. The fact that it handles mp4s okay also makes me lean that way.

fr4nk1yn, any hints as to something that would do decoding perhaps some software package? Those same MP3 files run great on my PC, Nexus 6P, Galaxy note 3 and plex. I'll try going directly to the headphone jack. Kind of a silly problem
Is there an application enabling bitperfect streaming for media files like YouTube so that no up or down sampling is done?
This exists for audio only streaming: USB player pro apk. This allows me to do upsampling in the DAC or playing NOS, very useful for hirez audio files.
Audio signal goes out on USB to my audio stereo system and video signal goes straight to my TV by hdmi
