Micro USB to headphone port - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
So my headphone jack on my phone broke, when I put my headphones in it doesnt recognize them. I bought a micro usb to headphone port for my phone but it doesnt work. My question is if these cables never work or do you need an app or something for it to work?
Thanks in advance!

In 'Developer Options' there are settings for routing Audio via USB, I cannot remember what settings are there but take a look if anything can be turned on or off to enable Audio over USB. I know these phones support it as well as the HG1 Hi-Res Speakers by Sony, but how it works, I do not know.

Yes i found that already and its turned on, I have also tried soundabout, you can choose where the audio goes, but that also didnt work. I hope there is someone who does know it.

Have you tried the detect usb devices option in the drop down notifications? There's also a settings page for it.

Yes I found it, but it doesnt detect anything. Also when I go to developer options and I select audio source at Select usb configuration it doesnt work. I've also tried soundabout but that doesnt work either..

Try download SoundAbout from play, and use the audio jack..
Z5 premium crappy phone and worse hardware ?

My phone doesnt recognize anything in the audiojack and also not with soundabout. But how can I play music through that cable?

Sorry i didn't see they already recommended soundabout?
Anyway, pay attention that the developer options should be OFF

Okay, so with soundabout I couldn't get it to work through the micro usb with developer options off, so I thought trying the headphone jack and it worked with soundabout!
I dont know how this happened, but everyone thanks for helping!!!

(Q)USB audio Out is it possible?

I recently bought a new stereo for my car that has USB,Aux inputs.. i can use the aux but the sound is not as good as the USB. i can use the USB however i will be limited to the stereo controls and it,s pain in the a$$.
can i play music over USB cable so i will have full control of what i wanna play. ?
to make it easy when u mount your sd card on your computer you cant access their content from the phone same think with the stereo
it,s a long shot but you never know there might be a mod that i messed

Hmmm i don't think you can, you're stereo is probably "iPhone ready" where you can use the iPhone physically i think... But with Androids it'll see it as a storage device.
If i were you... Go Bluetooth, i find the clarity better than aux too. That's if you can return the stereo and invest a little more for Bluetooth.

I don't know if you can use a USB cord or not but I know you can use an auxiliary cable. That's what I do

You can, it depends on what your system can handle.
At work I plug into Home theaters via USB
Even though their crappy for audio fidelity, samsungs stuff is the most compatible.
But flac wont be found on any HTIB on screen menu I have tested

It may benefit you to know that your phone has preset volumes when you hook up different devices. I'd say try to use the AUX cable if you haven't invested in a Bluetooth device (which is the better option). Just turn the volume up in the media settings and you should be good to go.

No USB Audio Out?

I'm trying to use a USB DAC/amp for my headphones but I'm not getting any USB audio out, it just plays sound through the phone's speaker. The only thing I could think of to try fixing this was to turn on USB debugging, but that didn't fix it. Anyone have any suggestions? It's the JDS Labs C5D for reference, and it's working plug-and-play on my computer and my Galaxy Tab.

I am using a HRT Microstreamer with my AT&T LG G3. It "works", but after about 10-20mins of playing music, it will get out of "sync" and start to click and pop. Been looking for a way to fix that clicking and popping

Did you ever figure out what the solution was? I just purchased a dSp from HRT and it worked for a couple of hours and now it won't even recognize the device.
nope never did... gave up on it and got myself a beyerdynamic instead and it's been great for almost 9months
I just noticed that now running 5.0.1, USB Audio don't even work anymore

HTC Max 320 Earphones on the HTC 10

Hey, guys! I've recently purchased the HTC Hi-Res Adaptive Sound 2.0 Headset (Max 320). I've tried to use those on the 10 but had no luck. These headphones which use the Type-C input should technically work on the 10 as it supports the "Hi-Res Audio", but all I get when I plug in the Headset is "Accessory not supported". Could this be a hardware issue or a firmware issue? So I wanted to ask if any of you guys have it and if you do, how did you get it to work? I've also attached a screenshot of the message.

I'd try going under the developer options of your phone and checking the USB input and changing it to see if that gets you anywhere. It'd be pretty weird if the headphones are phone specific. I have a different pair of USB C headphones that have active noise cancellation that work on my other headsets. As a last attempt, try downloading the free trial of USB Audio Player and see if the headphones work with that app.

Hey @mnguyen127! I've tried what you told me to do, by changing the input type but it didn't work. I've tried all the options in the developer settings but it didn't work out. Do you have any other ideas?

Have you tried the USB audio player app? That thing has worked wonders for me when it comes to finicky USB C
I'm in a similar situation, and nothing I've tried worked. Now, I saw someone mention something about firmware on another similar thread, so we might just have to wait for when HTC finally decides to update the 10
I have a pair of JBL Reflect Aware C which are USB-C active noise cancelling headphones, but I've noticed that after a certain update, my headphones won't work without the USB Audio Player app. Same thing happened on my Google Pixel which makes me think that if you roll back the update on your phone, you'll probably get audio out of USB-C.
the high-res certified has nothing to do with the headphone Support. the suppor for those headphones are disabled so deep in System stuff, that me and other couldn't get it to work, even with Sound stuff from u Ultra and u11. you can't use them unless HTC supports them on the 10
I still have those from the Bolt when I tested the device. but can't use them. so either HTC Needs to fix it in their Firmware or they don't want it or so. maybe the cables inside are different from other usb c Audio devices so that might be a Problem too

Is there a way i can route audio through usb type c?

Hello guys,
I just brought type c audio adaptor for my zuk z2 and when i connect my mi in ear headphones pro to it, It doesn't work, The audio still comes through speakers, it shows some power supply is connected, but can't change it or click it,
So my question is, Is there a way i can route audio through usb type c? Cause i have seen type c earphones working on zuk z2 and is it something related to DAC? I tried enabling "route audio through usb" from developers options, but still no luck and my rom is crdroid, so any workaround?
Thanks in advance

If you are using custom ROM, then visit developer options in about phone.
Look for USB Audio routing and enable it.
Something similar to this must be available on stock ROM as well as custom ROMs.

There is an option to disable it but not enable it did that, i also did "select usb configuration" to audio, but i think it may work in some other rom or any mods??? But currently it show me something is connected but won't let me change it so i am positive it should work with some tweaks as it detects it but sound still comes through speakers
Thanks for the help anyway ?
I've been doing some searching around about this as well and I've come to the conclusion that I think it is actually something at a hardware level. You see, for audio over usb-c to work, the manufacturer has to decide to allow for the audio pins to be routed the the USB-C port instead of a headphone jack. Now most modern phones seem to support this but the Z2 with its headphone jack seems to not be wired to allow for letting audio be routed to the USB-C port which is why plugging in one of these straight through USB-C to 3.5mm headphone jack converters doesn't actually do anything.
It's a shame since the headphone jack on my Z2 just died and because I can't use an adapter to run my audio through type-c I'm having to buy myself an entirely new phone just so I can have a working headphone jack. Oh well
Hey guys, I know I am 3 years late, if anyone still has this question it IS POSSIBLE to get audio through the usb port, you will need an OTG cable and a usb DAC (not an expensive one, the small ones for pc that take almost no space should work), connect your headphones to the DAC and to the OTG cable and you are done!

Question LDAC greyed out

I have a pair of Sony WF100 XM4's on want to use the LDAC setting on the phone. I go to Dev options, but it's greyed out. Is there anyway I can resolve this? I've seen another thread which isn't the 6 Pro that says you have to reset your wireless settings or something similar. Do I have to do this?
I have exactly the same pair of headphones and have been wondering the same some time ago.

what does Sony say about the issue?
LDAC works on the 6 Pro (I have different headphones and BT DACs, as do many others) but not Sony's.
have you tried deleting the headphones from BT settings, resetting the Sony's and re-pairing?
If "HD Audio" doesn't show up in the Bluetooth Device Details for the Sony headphone (where you see Contacts, Phone Calls and Media Audio), then it won't show up in developer options.

I have unpaired and repaired - makes no difference. HD Audio is selected in Dev options, but LDAC greyed out. I haven't contacted Sony about the issue yet, but will do some Googling to see if it's an issue with these earphones first before contacting them. I am not sure what your last paragraph means?

My LDAC headphones will work in 990 mode but only with the screen off, otherwise the sound skips. It works fine in 660 mode with the screen on. I've tried different fixes but nothing has worked. The only time LDAC is greyed out on my phone is when the headphones aren't on and connected.
I Googled it and found this:
https://www.sony-asia.com/electronics/support/articles/00264224
So followed that and it shows that LDAC is on so why doesn't it show in Dev options?

So you installed the app? On my headphones, not Sony, I needed their app to get LDAC to show....
I had the app previously because I had the XM3's. Its not obvious in the app until you see the instructions I posted. It's still greyed out in Dev options which I don't get.
You maybe need to enable quality mode in Sony headphones app. My xm3 working good. But only in adaptive ldac settings
I had Quality mode enabled even before and it was still grayed out. Went to Stable mode and back to Quality mode and its still grayed out.

So LDAC will show up in the bluetooth information for the device, for example: HD Audio: LDAC, but only if LDAC is enabled on the device through an app or natively (but its usually an app)
It looks like I got it working, but only in 660kbps mode. Go 990 and it skips all over the show. Also, every time I connect the headphones I have to change the setting to 660 in Dev options. Isn't there an option to save it to this setting for my Sony's because I can't seem to see it!
How or what did you do to make it work at least in 660 kbps ?

My P6P always defaulted to ”best effort”. Then I installed the Sony apps on my phone and selected high quality. Even though I don't have Sony earbuds, when I connect my LDAC earbuds it defaults to 990. This would be fine if 990 actually worked...
Is there any way to get it to default to 660?

I haven't found a way to do that. It would be nice if the update that's coming out in a few hours would fix the LDAC 990 problem but I'm not holding my breath.

Disable Wi-Fi it will fix stuttering. For me it runs smooth on 990 Xperia 1 III
LDAC works for me on the Sony WH-1000XM3 out of the box.
OH MY F* GOD. Disabling "Connect to 2 devices simultaneously" enabled LDAC. That's so dumb and someone should have said about that.
You can disable it in Sony Headphones app under System tab.

It's still broken, unfortunately. 990kbps has constant disconnects. Sort of defeats the purpose of the nigh bitrate codec. I wonder why google has such poor development with each of these updates.
