[Q] DACs that work with an OTG cable - Nexus 5 Accessories

I've tried the HiFimeyDIY Sabre Tiny that worked great on my SGS4 but it does not work with the N5.
Please list all the DACs you've tried with your N5 and whether they worked or not.

If I didn't remember properly, CA-157 has a Micro usb A connector. S2 is using USB B
iirc the CA-157 USB OTG cable has a microUSB A connector while the GSII has a microUSB B port. Won't work unless you trim the corners.
Just get the $2 for 2 USB OTG adaptors w/ free shipping from dealextreme.
i see... thanks all for replying!
I have on that works perfect on sgs2, reads sd cards/thumb drives/ and can use wireless mouse, and someone said they used a keyboard.

thats the nokia one from the link i posted i think it works... ill try it
It's not going to work. MicroUSB A plugs are not going to fit into a microUSB B port unless you trim the corners.
I'm guessing that's what the guy in the video did.

I have the Nokia cable that comes with Nokia E7 and i can assure it DOES NOT work!
the shape of the port itself is different and it won't fit into the galaxy s2 port.
Different Types...
There are two different types of nokia cable. One for the N900 or N810 and the other for others (known as CA-157) the only way to get a working cable for the SGS2 that is supposedly for Nokia is an unofficial (ebay...) micro-usb b so basically the N900 and N810 and a few others. Unfortunately Nokia have modified the ports slightly on their phones so they support the official Nokia cables (that only work on Nokia phones) and the unofficial MicroUsb Gender-X (depending on what the phone is.
This rules out all official Nokia cables and all Cables designed for Micro USB A Phones.
I got some MicroUSB OTG adapters from dealextreme and they work fine. Tested them with my 16GB thumbdrive and my Logitech unified mouse & keyboard dongle. Funny having a mouse cursor on my SGSII.

I have that cable for my S2 and all i had to do is trim corners..works flawlessly
Can you please share what kernel / ROM you guys are using? I got an adapter which works great with USB memory and wired USB mice, however, my wireless mouse does not show up and hooking up a wired keyboard hangs the phone hard and I have to pull the battery.
I tried Sensation by Crysis 1.9 (kernel is SpeedMod) and WanamLite 5.7 (kernel is Siyah 2.1) same results on both. Planning to try MadMack 2.2 tonight as its closest to stock. If the adapter was bad, it should not have worked with memory or wired mouse either.
Will appreciate any pointers in this regard.
EDIT:
I also tried CF-Root kernel as it is nearly stock, checked lsusb and dmesg outputs, lsusb is always correct but dmesg show kernel logs which are problematic. My wireless mouse is detected as keyboard (wrong), another wireless keyboard / mouse combo is detected as composite device (correct) but get error -104 while activating, wired keyboard gets detected but crashes something in the kernel, I also used 51-android.rules but not sure if it helps because /etc/udev did not even existed and I had to create it.
<4>[ 68.820948] generic-usb: probe of 0003:09DA:054F.0002 failed with error -104
Now as all of these devices work perfectly on my Iconia on Honeycomb I guess an ICS upgrade for S2 should bring similar results, so can only use mass storage till then

CANNOT use Fiio E18 DAC with nexus 5.

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.

External USB DAC?

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

One Plus 3T OTG and Micro USB to type C adaptors/ Oneplus3t OTG capabilities

I had some initial difficulty getting a micro usb OTG cable working, I ended up testing a few and thought I would share in case it saves anyone else some time or money.
if anyone else has adapters they've tried feel free to list them
I actually haven't tried a straight USB type C OTG cable yet, all have been micro USB OTG units with a micro USB to type C converter since I already had so many lying around.
First off I should mention not all micro usb to USB type C converters support OTG.
this Meenova one does and works with the oneplus 3t: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018G6IK7E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
with that converter pretty much any OTG adapter will work.
Charging also works.
This micro USB OTG adaptor is nice because its so low profile.
I tested it with a flash drive and it works fine with the Meenova adapter listed above.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196FG4DG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This Samsung adapter also works well with the Meenova adapter, it has quite a few features which I tested on the Oneplus 3t, its expensive though so unless you have a Samsung tablet as well its not likely to be worth it for most people:
built in features:
two USB ports
Ethernet port
Charging port for simultaneous charging and OTG
On the Oneplus 3t both charging and OTG work fine but not at the same time.
whichever you plug in first is what it will use until you unplug and re-plug in the adapter.
That being said my understanding is that this is likely just a kernel limitation, it was the same way on the nexus 7 and a custom kernel enabled the simultaneous charging.
I'm not sure how useful that would be on a phone but I thought I would mention it.
Both USB ports work simultaneously, I connected two flash drives and both were picked up by the phone right away.
I wasn't able to get the Ethernet port working, or at least there was no indicator that it was working (My samsung tablet gives a notification that the Ethernet is plugged in but Samsung may have added that, I'm not sure) I'll play with it some more later.
Adaptor link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2N0GB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and lastly I tried this micro USB to type c adapter and charging works but OTG does not:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0191FRCAA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for your post about OTG adapters. Do you have any updates on this issue? I'm looking for possible adapters but cannot find any.
The Meenova adapter is not available in Europe and also seems not to be available from Amazon.com anymore. I can also disadvise from Anker USB adapter because it doesn't work.
What I'm looking for is an USB typ-C to microUSB adapter for audio output via USB.
Anker adapter supports dash charge (works with oppo vooc power bank). I am trying OTG now, but I have some cheap OTG dongle (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/5pc...G-adapter-for-HTC-for-Samsung/1734417126.html) and I am not sure if it works at all Anyway OTG via Anker is not working for me at this moment.

Thanks! Though it's USB type B. I need micro USB.

Has anyone tried a USB-C hub with the G8? What is supported?

Wondering if we have support for:
RJ-45 Ethernet jack
microsd/SD card readers
HDMI-Out
Extra USB-A ports
An example of the device is here: https://www.amazon.ca/VAVA-Adapter-...b&qid=1563056649&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1
They are advertised for macbook but USB-C is obviously universal so it works with computers and stuff, wondering what kind of support we have on G8 if anyone has one to test.
I thought of this use case, use the HDMI to send to a monitor, and 2 of the usb slots for keyboard and mouse.... turn the G8 into a little laptop. I might order one to try it, in theory it could work but I have my doubts.
I didn't try the video out, but mouse and keyboard work fine through mine.

cool thanks, the video isn't even as important because wifi screen sharing is a thing too
Everything is working on my LG G8s ThinQ like before on my LG V40 ThinQ, LG G7 ThinQ.
The only problem is power drop when you connect multiple devices.
I tried an HDMI screen (it shares your Android screen and hopefully, no lags like with WiFi Screen Sharing), Ethernet connection, Microsoft multimedia keyboard (integrated touchpad on the keyboard), Western Digital My Passport and SanDisk DualDrive.
PS: The only thing I still didn't tried is Netflix via HDMI to USB-C. On my Galaxy S8 I couldn't have the images but well the sound but on my V40 it worked so, I'm wondering if LG isn't implementing Something to make it work. I must ask my manager
I found an adapter...
I was searching for an HDMI to USB-C adapter and tried a UGreen 6-in-1 adapter. It works perfectly. You can hook up your phone charger to the adapter to charge your phone while outputting to the TV/Monitor. It also has 2 USB 3.0 ports and SD/MicroSD slots. I got it to use my AKG Lyra microphone on my phone while making video calls for better audio. I've hooked my TV AND microphone to my phone so I can mount my phone on a stand and use the back (much better) camera for my calls. I use the TV to monitor the video. It works great! Search Amazon for " UGREEN USB C Hub 6 in 1 Type C to HDMI 4K " to find (I paid $25US). (New to xda and haven't posted enough to post links)
Hope this helps!

Useful informations! I was thinking about one of those things, just to try out some kind of desktop mode when/IF it will be available on LG G8s, and a simple usb-c to hdmi seems to me too limiting as melvinmajor pointed out before (power drop).
