Hello,
Not sure how much you guys experiment with external audio gear
Basically i have been trying to send sound through external audio interfaces (USB OTG compliant sound cards)
and not able to do so on the TAB S
I can see when device connected (OTG compliant device) , sound stops coming out of speakers and redirected to USB, no sound is actually coming out
only one very old very simple usb sound card stick that worked
It is not powered issue as all the one's i tested (Pioneer Wego 3 for example) have own power source
I tried with Kitkat 4.4 , stock rom 5.0.2 , CM 12.1 5.1.1, Marshmellow 6.0.1 nothing works
I would love some insight maybe suggesting different rom or kernel
Thanks

When my Tab S 10.5 was running Kit Kat, it worked perfectly with my hifimediy Sabre dac. I was very excited when I auto-updated to Lollipop, which did seem to help battery life, speed, etc. It's just that the Dac stopped working. It clearly recognizes the device. Sounds even come out of it, it's just badly distorted and starts and stops.
Is this a lollipop problem or do Ihave to see if hifimediy will write a driver for lollipop? Is there any way to solve it other than going back to kitkat?

I just posted a similar thread - hadn't spotted yours sorry otherwise would have added to it (just found yours by doing a google search)
I have a Fiio E17 which worked flawlessly on both my Note 3 (Snapdragon chipset) and Tab S 10.5 with 4.4
with 5.02 Lollipop no longer works with my Tab S (haven't dared upgrade my Note 3)
very very annoying
I have a Fiio E17 and I tried connecting it to my 10.5 after upgrading to lollipop and almost busted my ear drums. I haven't tried connecting it before upgrading, so I am not sure if it worked before, but it sure as hell ain't working now. The sound comes out completely distorted.
I just bought an Oppo Ha-2 and doest work with the Lollipop Tab S 10.5
Any workaround to this yet?
There's an option in Developer Options to Prevent routing to USB peripherals. I made sure that's unchecked. I checked USB Debugging. Still the same.
Tab 8.4 same problem with use of External DAC
I just purchased a Tab S 8.4 ( Lollipop) and tried to use an external DAC ( Audio Engine D3) via OTG cable . There is power to the DAC but no sound . So I installed Onkyo Player , now I get sound but its horrible with lots of distortion. I have not tried the USB Audio Player Pro yet.
USB Audio Player Pro is the answer to this, excellent player and worth the £5.80 it costs, i had the same issue with the Galaxy Alpha and this was the only way i had it working perfectly.

I have the same problem on an Samsung Galaxy S2 on 12.1 and the last Gustavo Kernel.
Using USB Audio Player Pro did not help as it reports "Failed to submit USB transfer! Your device probabyl does not support for isochronous USB transfers".
Also it does not detect the "HiFimeDIY Sabre Android DAC" only the larger "HiFimeDIY Sabre USB DAC ES9023 96kHz/24bit".
Anyone managed to make it run on any Kernel? What Kernels have you been using? The stock Kernel?

I just tried the demo version today. It worked like a charm the first time . This seems to be the only player that works with my Audioengine D3 with no stutter etc and also no external power is required . I am going to buy the App.
hello
i have an issue with the mini jack audio out :
it sends signal when i plug headphones, but when i'm trying to pass music to a party, using cable such as jack/rca to amp, mixing table or external effect, the phone acts as there is nothing plugged : the sound still comes from its internal speakers.
i tried this in many situations, using all kind of cables and have really no explanation about that (maybe the impedance differs ?)
i found a workaround using a double jack adapter : i can plug both cable and headphones, it continues to work when i remove the headphones, as long as i don't remove everything.
do you have any idea about what could cause this issue or do you experience the same ? do you think it could be software related ?
i use cyanogenmod 13 latest nightly (android 6.0.1)
thanks !
I'm having the same problem and also on cyanogenmod 13. Didn't try it on factory firmware so don't know if it's software related.
thanks for your feedback i feel less alone !
please people if you have this phone and can try to plug it to an external sound system by jack, can you tell us if it works or not and what is your os ?
thanks, that would be much appreciated !
I have this problem with some setups too.
The latest nightly (20160408) seems to have a fix for this problem. I haven't tried it yet though.
just tried and it works, thanks a lot !
Hi,
Is there anyone that can help me out of this problem ?
My usb-dac (AudioQuest Dragonfly 1.2) worked fine on my tablet (P600), plug & play,
nice sound.
But not anymore, since the update to android 5.
The control led is still lit (it's now green instead of blue, 44.1 khz instead of 48 kHz)
but there is no sound.
I used 'usb host diagnostic' app, wich tells me the tablet recognizes the dac.
When i connect a mouse to the usb port, this is working.
Is there a way to make the dac work again ?
Or do i have to downgrade to Kitkat again ?
Thanks in advance !
Jo
OK, problem solved.
I downgraded to KitKat 4.4.2 and dac works again.
Hi!
I'm trying to hook up my shield to an old set of T7900 Inspire speakers. I don't have an AV receiver and would like to get surround sound via these speakers. I'm using a USB sound card that works fine with these speakers using a windows laptop, but when I tried to use the same card with the Shield, I'm only getting normal stereo. I've gone into settings and enabled 5.1 surround (auto and always on), used sources that I know are 5.1-enabled, but to no avail.
I suspect the USB sound card (which is a crappy one I'll admit) doesn't play well with Android. However, I can't find a single sound card that is guaranteed to play well with Android. So...
Do you know of any usb sound cards that work well with Android and support (at least) 5.1 surround, ideally 7.1? Has anyone done something like this with their Shields?
Thanks!
I have a asus xonar u7 USB sound card, but with the shield only stereo is possible. I think for 5.1 vor 7.1 sound we need some special USB driver's for android

It has to be the USB thing specifically though, because there's already a setting for 5.1 sound :/

Here the same. I try 2 different usb 2 analog mutlichannel audio converter, no success. Only stereo.
nvidia or android need to react to this problem.

Hi,
I use "Turtle beach Audio Advantage Micro II", that can passthrough 5.1 audio:
With the last Nougat update and Kodi 17 is giving some problems, but Kodi 16 and modified Kodi 17 versions (known as ****ty) it still works fine.
Hello XDA,
I have a Moto G5S and a CSL sound card (7.1 output and 2 mic input). I'm connecting the sound card to the phone with a USB OTG 2.0 cable.
When connected, the sound card starts up and I can control the audio volume from the keys on the soundcard. Also, the audio output is automatically redirected to the sound card, so I can listen to audio output from the "line out" of the sound card.
However, I cannot get the input mic lines to work. I tried various apps such as n-Track 9, WaveEditor, USB Audio Recorder, and so on and no one of them is able to record from the sound card.
In Linux, the sound card works out of the box.
Do you have any suggestion to get the input mic from the sound card?
I think it strange that it even work ?
I think you need additional drivers into kernel. But probably it will be unavailable in our kernel, or you have to port it itself for montana kernel, to fully support possibilities of your external sound card.
Additionaly, if u want a help in that kind of trouble, please include logs, extact device model (best will be device id from linux) and if possible, check first on stock rom or other device. If it does not work there, its provably unfixable problem.
Thanks in advance, good night.
This seems like a very overkill setup
