Just receive my Fiio E18 which claim to work with android phone.
After few test, I found that nexus 5 cannot recognize it correctly.
So I can only use nexus 5's phone jack out put to Fiio E18,
And I tried to connect E18 with my note2 through note2's micro USB port.
Which worked perfectly without any additional driver.

USB Audio out is known to work on CyanogenMod Rom but not on stock 4.4 Kitkat. Try flashing the latest CM11 nightly and you should have lineout VIA usb.

Hi, I'm wondering if it would be possible to connect the HTC one x with it's micro USB port to a coaxial input on an amplifier. This without the use of an AD converter.
I bought a wadia powerdac 151 mini and would love to do this.
If there is no possibility I would like to know if there is an other high end smartphone that could pull it off.
Ps I know there is a second component in the wadia line that has an iPhone connector, I just don't want that component nor do I want an iPhone
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Can think of some ways to do this but they are not at all elegant:
You can get digital output via HDMI by using an MHL adapter. Since your amp doesn't have HDMI inputs you would also need to get an HDMI to SPDIF converter like this http://www.amazon.com/HDmi-Audio-Converter-Convert-Video/dp/B0015DTUJ8 (there may be something similar with coaxial). There are other messy ways of doing this such as passing HDMI through a TV and back out of the TV via SPDIF - but you would need to keep the TV on to get audio.
Similarly, some of the above could be done with WiFi using the the HTC media link HD instead of an MHL adapter.
Alternatively, you could use Bluetooth lossless APT-X. However, the receivers I can find only output in analogue, which is not much use to you. And bluetooth is only good for streaming music - video would be out of sync.
Digital Audio Out via USB on HOX Jellybean confirmed working!
Hi Guy's n Gal's thought i'd make every HOX owners day by confirming that USB audio out is now fully working on the HOX!! :victory:
I purchased the Fiio E17 and recieved it today 04/01/13 my HOX is a Orange branded Tegra 3 phone which is running custom firmware (Android Revolution HD 18 Jellybean 4.1 Hboot 1.6)
I charged the Fiio E17 pluged it into the HOX with a USB OTG cable, plugged in headphones hit play on poweramp and to my huge delight and relief awsome sound was to be heard Eureka!!
So to everyone with and Android device capable of running Jellybean that wants Digital Audio out via USB It's a reality.
Enjoy and spread the word.

What cable did you use? MicroUSB to usb then usb to mini usb? Or microusb to spdif? Or straight micro usb to mini usb (e17). Thanks.

You first need a usb otg cable. It's micro usb male win a female usb on the other end. Then plug your jab sound device (like the fiio e17) into it and hey presto. I have used this with a cheap usb sound card and it works so i imagine you can find a usb device that supports the output you need.

I am thinking of purchasing a DAC unit for my phone and wonder if anyone know if the micro USB port will work with an adapter to DAC unit?
Thank you
Well... I've tried Chord Hugo. It has dual USB ports. Only the standard port is android compatible. The other is hifi speced and need drivers on Windows or certain OSX versions. In my case it offers Bluetooth too.
Short version. If it is made for mobile units it probably has android support. A cheaper alternative is Chord Mojo... All depends what kind of money you are prepared to spend.

Yes DAC can be detected via usb... Using FIIO DACs
Hi all, nexus 7 2013 lte and WiFi model, 5.1.1 with timurs Kernal installed in my car.
I've got a board that has a 5v 3a power supply going to a otg y cable. Usb hub plugged into y cable and dac plugged into hub.
I've just swapped from a miniDSP MiniStreamer which is a usb to spdif coaxial sound card. This worked perfectly, I could unplug and replug the otg cable or turn power off whenever I wanted and it would always be recognized and be used by Android through Spotify, power amp etc.
I just changed my processor and it takes an optical spdif input so I changed the MiniStreamer to a hifimediy sabre u2 dac which also does optical spdif out.
I found to get the sabre u2 to work at all, I have to turn the tablet off, connect the dac and power to it, the turn the tablet on. This takes a while to do.
As soon as I either disconnect the otg cable or turn power to the dac off and back on or the tablet goes into its Fi sleep mode (when car is turned off) my tablet no longer uses it for audio but reverts back to tablet speakers.
In the power event manager it still shows the usb hub and the dac as being connected.
Would greatly appreciate any help, as it's my only source for audio in the car.
Apologies if it's in the wrong place, I've not spent much time on this forum so not sure where everything is.
Edit: do you think updating to Android 6.0 would solve this if it's just a finicky usb audio and Android 5 thing?

So I'm not sure why but a program called SoundAbout fixed this. I forced all media audio out to usb host and it seems to have done the trick.
I shouldn't need this since 5.1.1 and timurs Kernal together are supposed to make usb dac's hot pluggable but oh well, it's working now.

Hi Phahel, have you had any issues w/ static over any of your USB dac? I bought a couple of inexpensive units to try and both have static. I still have a bunch of things to try to isolate the issue (use dac on computer, use stock lineage kernel, try on another phone, etc), but I'm curious if there are any common issues that I'm just not aware of. I'm using Lineage 14.1 and ElementalX kernel (which enables OTG w/ charging). Thx!
Make sure you have quality charger and cable and that audio ground loop is not problem in your car (some Prius are known for this).
Also, I'm having problems with newer Android (7) and sound distortion. If you want to, try cm13, or stock Rom running on Android 6.

NO!
The DAC you have almot surely doesn't work with Android 6 and it's mono bug.
I find DACs can be touchy. sometimes mine wouldn't connect and I'd have to unplug, A couple times I had to reboot with the DAC connected. 98% of the time it works perfect.
Check all your wiring as already mentioned as you shouldn't need a software solution. Also check anything else USB you have connected. And when it doesn't work check PEM to see if it's recognized.
I've been seeing varying reports, so I figured I'd ask here: does the 10 support USB audio? Can I connect (for example) a Fiio E18 if I have the correct cable, and expect that the phone will output to the DAC?
I'm about 90% sure that it does.
I use an AudioQuest DragonFly Red and Black using a USB otg cable and it works fine, albeit @96khz.
USB audio player Pro also works well.
This is on a UK sim-free unit, stock and MaximusHD.

Thanks! Can you confirm if you're able to use anything besides USB Audio Player Pro?
Yep, Tidal, YouTube etc all work
Thank you very much MrN, I picked up the DAC and it works wonderfully. I don't know what the guy on $otherForum was complaining about.
No worries dude.
It didn't work when I first tried it so one of the updates must have fixed it.
What cable are you using to connect the phone to the DAC? I've tried the micro USB cable that came with my Fiio E18 and a USB C converter and it doesn't work. I'm currently on a rooted stock nougat ROM.
Bump I would also like to know what cables work

Hey so I've got a problem where I wanna connect my aux cable via a dongle to my phone, and all I get is a message ''Unsupported USB device''. I tried the USB sourcing thing in the dev options but no luck still. It worked on a Xiaomi with a dongle with no issues, could it be that I have to have the actual Samsung dongle?
Hmm, i also use a aux cable via dongle in my car, and it works without any problems.
It is not a Samsung dongle though.
Looks like the DAC which is in the dongle needs to be recognized by the phone as an audio device...
While Xiaomi phones support dongles without a DAC, Samsung phones only support ones with a DAC inside.
So, the phone needs a dongle with a DAC to output to your car,
The dongle Xiaomi includes with their phones does not have a DAC inside of it.
Makes sense. Xiaomy obviously stil has DAC inside the phone, meanwhile samsung doesn't which means that you need it inside the dongle.
