is usb audio enabled on zenfone 2? - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
i recently bought a chord mojo as an amplifier for my headphones. i tested it on the zenfone 2 and i find out that i can only play audio if played through usb audio player pro but i couldn't play any audio through power amp, spotify, mx player pro, youtube, etc. i thought that usb audio is already enabled for lollipop so i was expecting that this available already for all sources. do i need to download additional drivers?
thanks

In order to enable usb audio, you have to choose AudioWizard\Smart mode then plugin usb audio in and play.

This didn't work unfortunately. My usb dac isn't picking up the sound

For me, it worked by using the afore mentioned setting and by plugging a cable from the headphone jack to my aux jack on my car deck.

Hello
Unfortunately, chord mojo doesn't have an aux in. It requires purely digital input.

Hello
I flashed android 6.0 and my usb dac is working marvelously now. I guess the stock rom from asus which i think is lollipop version 5.0.1 does not support usb audio.

Any more issues playing Spotify or anything else? I'm thinking of the exact combination of phone and DAC.

[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..

USB Audio

Can anyone confirm that USB audio output works? Either with a DAC or car head unit will do. Just want to make sure...
Also interested in this question, as I found that USB audio does not work on Nexus 5 and 9 after update to 6.0.
My setup: Nexus 5/9 > USB DAC/amp > headphones. Works fine with 5.1.1.
Actually, it only works on 6.0 with USB Audio Player Pro app, which uses its own driver. It doesn't work with other apps (e.g. Spotify)

Got my 5x and it works with both my car head unit (Kenwood in Android hand mode) and FiiO USB DAC. Audio from all apps (e.g. Spotify, Youtube) works.

Good news! Does it work right out of the box, or does it require some settings?
I am trying to connect to my car via. iSimple Lightning connection to Aukey USB Type C (CB-A3). "The connection does Rapid Charge Nexus 5X"
How do I set the phone to send music from an app like: Amazon Music or Pandora, to the car though USB Type C port?

Any one else have any experience with the 5X and any other available DACs? I was looking at the Cambridge Audio XS but I haven't been able to find any mention of it working with 6.0.1
So i have hifimediy dac with usb-c to micro usb, and i cant get it working. I have xiaomi's adapter and some random chinese cable so i dont know how to fix it.

Separate audio output, only with USB sound card? Anyone used?

Hi,
My receiver has no hdmi, so I have audio put to it from tv. Sometimes I would like to listen to internet radio without having tv on, so direct connection to receiver would be great, even analog one. Do I need USB audio card or there are some other options? If yes, anyone uses something worth mentioning? Anyone tried USB cards on Shield?

I use an external USB dac. Works out of the box and mutes the hdmi sound output too so you will not be able to have it connected all the time for when you want the hdmi to output sound.

That's worse, but maybe I can live with it, maybe I find one with power switch, thanks
I am using a HDMI video / audio splitter. Works well.
Best part it doesn't need to be powered separately.
Does audio go through hdmi and separately? Analog audio or digital? Or maybe can you post name of the splitter?
I have mine setup to do this through bluetooth, where with a combination of apps i simply press and hold 2 on my third party remote, and my shield connects to my bluetooth a2dp reciever which in turn is connected to my stereo speakers, i simply disconnect the bluetooth connection when i want the sound to go through the tv......which i had setup through tasker to disconnect when i long press 2 again, but i think i broke this messing around with this particular task .....that reminds me, i gotta get round to fixing this
I can do this without even having to turn the tv on or even having bluetooth on, as the remote is a RF 2.4gh/IR remote
To take it a step further, i could potentially create a scenario where i press or long press my chosen button and have the shield wake up > unlock display > turn on bluetooth > connect to a2dp > open media app > emulate media play.......and have my music playing without having to turn on the tv.......the remote having media control and volume control as standard........assuming the app supports the media standards i.e. youtube app doesnt
Apps used
Xposed
Xposed additions (can map the remote/mouse/keyboard buttons to something else or have it initiate chosen tasker task i.e. long press 2 initiates "speakers on" task)
Tasker + plugins
Anyway, thats another avenue

that's what i've been using since my Chromecast to send audio to my speaker bar. I just swapped the hdmi when i got the Shield.
has anyone managed to get 5.1 audio out of the shield via USB soundcard? I bought one but it seems that its sampling down to a stereo sound. I have set in settings 5.1 sound for USB.
I also bought a 7.1 xonar u7 usb dac but no output on surround channel only in left and right. I aready set the USB to 5.1 surround and tried all the video applications. Maybe the shield only supports usb pass through and PSM stereo.

USB Auidio Works with class compilant devices only, but not entirely sure what that means in this case.
What apps did you try and what audio/video source files did you used for your tests?

Same problem here, any progress since September?
im currently using this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/LiNKFOR-Ex...8-1-spons&keywords=hdmi+audio+extractor&psc=1
I connect the toslink to my sound bar so i can chromecast my spotify from my google home and not have to have the tv on. the audio still passes through to the tv, there also is a 3.5mm jack you can switch to.
I use the Audioquest Dragonfly DAC and it sounds amazing. I combine it with the Jitterbug. It's a little pricey (90-100) but I'm running to studio monitors so it's easier to tell the difference in quality.

USB Audio Streaming

Hey everyone,
Has anyone here tried to do any kind of USB Audio Streaming with the Razer Phone? By this I mean using a USB-C to USB-A cable to play music (and other audio) from the phone to another device. Specifically, I have a GROM box in my car (2004 Acura TL) that previously allowed my Nexus 6p to play music to my factory stereo while still keeping the steering wheel controls working as well as showing track information on the factory head unit. Using the same GROM with Razer Phone however has not worked. The car and the GROM box do not recognize that the Razer is plugged in. But it will always recognizes the Nexus. So now I'm wondering if the Razer even supports USB Audio Streaming or if the only way to get sound off the phone is to use the dongle to connect to a headphone jack. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
