[Q] lollipop and dac - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] No audio out to earphones or external speakers

Just got myself a Galaxy Note 8.0 (WIFI) for about 2 weeks. Everything was working well until I need to watch a movie on the plane. Then realized I got no audio on the earphones. The earphones used is not the ones that comes with the Note 8.0. It was the ones from my Note 2.
But I don't think the problem lies with the earphones. Anyway I tried again with an external speakers. Again no audio.
The audio out on the built-in speakers are good.
I am using the default video player. And Android 4.2.2. Upgraded when I first booted up the machine.
Tried going through the system sound settings and software (video player) settings. But nothing works.
And when I plug in the earphones or speakers, the message "something" connected is shown in the status bar.
So is it because the input jack is not working or something else? Hate to bring it back to the service center cos it will be one month later when I get back to Singapore. Now I am in China.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers! Android 4.3 partially supports wirless audio via OTG! At least for Samsung!

Cheers! Did Google mention this? :laugh:
I have a wireless headphone with mic tested.
When I plugged its transceiver via OTG on a note 2 when it was running Android 4.1.
Just found moives/music were played faster, no sounds were emiited from the headphone.
I took the same action on an S 4 which is on Android 4.2, unfortunately the same.
BUT, when I tested with a Note 3, even on an updated Note 2, running Android 4.3, the headphone with mic PARTIALLY worked:
1) Sound can be wirelessly transmitted & adjusted from video or audio players;
2) Mic doesn't work at all times;
3) This method doesn't work when you are making a phone call.

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

T800 - No USB Sound

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

How to get USB audio to work with Galaxy S9 (patch or something similar)?

Hi there!
Purchased a Galaxy S9 (Android Pie) for my wife and tried to connect it to our car's audio system. The song and its time line is displayed on the screen of car's audio system but the sound won't go thru USB cable. The phone is using its own loudspeaker. Checked the developer options USB section but there's not an option such as "audio".
I have a Galaxy Note 8 (Android Oreo) and it works just perfectly with our car's audio system as well all other USB-C equipped Android phones we have.
Read a topic on Samsung support website where they're (Samsung staff) blaming car's audio system even though there are lots of users who complain about the similar issue.
Does anyone have a patch to fix that issue or do I have to flash Lineage or some custom ROM to my wife's device?
Thanks in advance
You could flash it back to Oreo until Pie is fixed

My biggest concern is that they won't fix it. They'd rather try to sell Galaxy S10 than fix it.
Maybe Lineage would work better than the stock ROM.
This is not a bug, they removed the setting. It was very good to send the Phone Audio to the PC via USB.
Did you try unlocking the secret developers options and seeing if there's a setting there you can change?
