Hi guys!
I haven't found any thread on this topic, excuse me if there is one after all!
So, I bought a P2 two days ago and am very very happy with it! My only problem at the moment is, that it seems to not deliver usb audio. When I plug in my Fiio E07k DAC, It will charge through the phone but the phone won't output music. I tried it with Neutron and USB Audio Player pro. With my Nexus 6 before that, I just plugged in the AMP and everything worked. I could even define an app starting when the Fiio was detected.
WIth the Lenovo it doesn't work at all. I tried it with the cables I normally use and also with the supplied USB OTG adapter. No luck.
Please help! I'm locken and unrooted on Stock Nougat 7.0
Cheers,
MoWe
Today, I got a replacement unit from amazon. USB Audio isn't working either. Also it was much worse build wise, so I will stick with my first unit for now.
Could somebody check, if usb audio works with a custom rom and is just a problem of the official rom?
Cheers,

Update.
In the Lenovo forum, I got the answer from a Motorola tech agent, that a USB Headset worked great for them through the bundled OTG Adapter.
Is somebody here, who can verify this? I haven't got an USB Headsets.
And maybe there is somebody who has a USB DAC of any kind at their disposal and would try it out... That would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,

Hi Guys!
Here is an update!
Today I was in a local HiFi store which is the only one in Hamburg to sell Fiio equipment, I know of.
I tried out different USB DACs on my Lenovo P2. An Audioquest Dragonfly red, an Oppo HA-2SE, Chord Mojo and a second USB Stick kind of DAC I can't remember the name.
The two USB Stick DAC worked flawlessly right from the plug in! Perfect!
The Oppo was recognized and charged but I could get any music routed through it and the Chord Mojo did the same as my fiio, nothing.
So I summary, USB audio works in the Lenovo P2 but only with certain devices. The drivers seem to be modified from the stock google drivers in this regard.
Hope, the update helps some people!

Well, I finally found out you can get audio out of the USB port and grabbed a cable from eBay. Thought life would be grand. Got the cable and it works. Still grand.
Then the problems started. Horrid pop, crackle, hiss, beeps, and bloops. Did a little homework and found apparently it's a realatively common problem, but can't seem to find much detail.
Anyone know of any fixes other than a warranty swap out as I'm sure we're well past that point now.
Thanks in advance.
Wait, so analog audio out of the USB port? Why not just use the mini headphone jack?

One cable to rule them all. This way I plug in one cable (work or car) and listen to audio and charge the phone at the same time. I'd use bluetooth in my car, but Velosters have an absolute crap bluetooth when combined with this phone.
It's just easier and less to deal with.
I have been searching here and at Head-fi, and I cannot find an answer to my problem. I cannot seem to get sound out from my S4 over my OTG cable. I have a DAC/Amp that many have trued and report that my DAC/Amp is plug-n-play, no mods, no other apps needed. I have used this DAC/Amp to get digital audio out from my Galaxy Note 10.1, again totally plug-n-play. Here is the link to the cable I bought - is it possible that this might be the wrong cable somehow? I have tested this cable and it does work with a USB thumb drive on my S4. I also looked up and found one post that said to enable digital audio out by going to settings-my device-accessory and checking the "audio output mode" box. Didn't work. I tried making sure I turned on the system sound, etc. Nada. Where do I go from here? I have been on the thread that lists all the DACs and DAC/Amp that work with all the various Android devices, and my my and my device (Leckerton UHA-6S mk II) are on the list, and I have been on threads where people are using the combo I have. Please help! I would love to know what I am doing wrong/missing/defective so I can get this working. Thanks!!
Is your kernel stock? I had to revert back to stock kernel from ktunez in order for OTG to work with my external DAC.
My kernel is stock.

FIXED!
We are fixed!
It was the obvious thing. The cable was defective. I just got two other cables from Amazon (very cheap). They both work perfectly immediately. The are both from different vendors, but they are both the exact same cable. They are different from the original in one way: the micro USB portion that plugs into the Galaxy S4 is much longer than the defective one. I don't know if that means anything, but there it is. Thanks to everyone for your help, especially DanBa who took extra time and effort to help me. Thanks!
Can anyone who owns the G3 confirm that USB Audio Out (over an OTG cable) works through a DAC? I can't seem to find any information that confirms or discounts that this works.
Thanks!

It does work with my Fiio E17. Just tried it today after almost buying an app that was supposed to do so. My only complaint is that the DAC seems to be charging while connected to the G3.

Thanks, Jesadac! That's great news... I was hoping this was the case, as I believe the G2 also supported it.
I assume you're referring to the USB Audio Player Pro app? It truly doesn't replace the native ability to have a clean digital audio out signal for all sounds out of the phone.
I have the Fiio E18 and a friend has the VZW G3. We just tested the combo and it seems to work fine.

Just bought the new Cayin C5 DAC/Amp. My TMo LG G3 does not put audio out though the amp when connected via OTG. It registers it's connected I'm guessing because all audio is no longer played through the phone. Plugged into my friends Note 4 and it worked right away. Is this is G3 problem? We're both on Lollipop.
I know this is an old thread... but do I still need USB Audio Player Pro to get USB DAC to work? I thought Android 5.0+ brings USB audio, and right now my Beyerdynamic A100 doesn't work by "simply" plugging it in... however I do get about half second of audio and quits.
I go on LG G3 with app USB Audio Player PRO and HibyMusic app, my DAC is Hegel HD2 and DragonFly RED. Logitech USB headphones works too. with China OTG cable.
I can confirm Spotify and youtube doesn't play audio through usb (android 5.1.1), and it still mutes integrated speaker when connected:silly:. Must have usb-player i guess.
Hi, I've found that the headphone output of this phone, while good for some headphones, has too much noise for sensitive IEMs and not enough power for some less efficient headphones, so I'm looking into a portable DAC/Amp. I tried this one with a USB-C adapter:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FJSEAZ4
But it didn't work. I know the USB-C adapter works, as I've used it with a thumb drive, and I know the DAC works on other Android devices, but apparently compatibility isn't universal. So has anyone successfully tried a portable DAC with this phone?
My Fiio Q1 works fine with the phone.

Thanks, that's good to hear. I was considering one of Fiio's products
I tried this one: http://hifimediy.com/android-dac
Works very well together with an USB B to C converter that supports USB OTG and drove even my good old 600 Ohm AKG K 141 loud enough!
It has a Sabre DAC. Bought it out of concern that the sound of the phone might not be good enough. But it is - at least with low impedance headphones like my Ultimate Ears UE 10 TF I don't find a difference to the 180 $ sony walkman of my GF.
(Small remark: Used a Samsung USB B to C converter first. This one, while doing very well on the PC and with ADB and also with the charger did not work as OTG adaptor.)

Weird, that's the exact one I tried that didn't work. Maybe I needed a different USB-C OTG adapter

For sure. It works for me without problems - plug and play.
I use this adaptor: http://www.delock.com/produkte/G_65678/merkmale.html
Side note: While I could use the Samsung adaptor for charging (but not for OTG devices) this one works well for OTG - but not for charging.
Edit: The price for te DAC on the amazon side is way higher than if you buy directly from the Hifimediy website.
And you should also note, that this DAC while it's pretty good for higher impedance phones did not work well with my low (32 ohm) impedance IEM's. But for those I found no need to use the DAC.
I ended up with a Fiio E18, I like the fact that it has playback control, plus B&H has it on sale right now. It doesn't seem to work with Poweramp, but it works perfectly with USB Audio Player PRO.

Will USB Audio Player read OTG storage?
Most file explorers do not see mnt/media_rw/0EB0-0FF. Do any players?
Quick, and hopefully not too stupid, question, do I need to root the phone to get the DAC working with Google Play Music?

Just wanted to let everyone know that the HTC usonic headphones, and the htc dongle both work on these phones without modification (the sound canceling function of the heaphones does not work though). These headphones sound great with this phone. I searched google and didn't find anything. Just hoping to help if anyone is looking for wired headphones. these are great and have lasted years using every day and arent too expensive.
I also used my Sennheiser HD1s connected via a Cable Matters USB-C to Micro USB cable, works really well and sounds great to me!
