S3 + DAC + Phone Call = Problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As my signature shows, I have a north American S3 running Stock ICS Rom/Kernel and am now running a OTG USB cable out of my S3 and into a DAC (UCA222). (DAC Headphones out or line outs to my stereo.
It works.
I get the occasional Skipping thing happening which I assume is a digital handshake burp of sorts.
THE BIGGER PROBLEM...
If while listening to music (powerAmp or YouTube or Songza etc.) I get a phone call, the audio goes nuts!!! It does the skipping thing but does not cease unless I end the call. Same with outgoing calls.
So "is there anybody out there" with a similar setup who can share with me:
- a fix or workaround
- an alternative
- or just tell me you have the same issue so that I know it's not just my gear.
Reason for wanting this new arrangement, is to use it with my new CraigsDock for the car and not having to manually plugin any cords. Also, Analogue out of the USB jack, when tested in the past, introduces machine noise and distortion WHILE CHARGING. (not just a simple ground loop issue)
Thanks in Advance

If you have a "north American" i9300, then the chances are it isn't a i9300 and you are in the wrong forum and risk bricking your phone if you flash anything here

Actually yes your right, wrong forum. If moderators wish to move it, please do so. I still wouldn't mind hearing from I9300 users but I'm not interested in rom flashing. Wouldn't mind just getting some general feedback on DAC alternatives etc. if anyone has a working happy setup.

I'm looking as well, but I'm afraid no kernel currently implements it
I have read that KF1 support it,
Can anyone confirm?

That is false because the purpose of the app is to redirect media audio to the dock. Call audio is not redirected as well.
KF1 supports it? I'm on KG6 (VillainRom) and I won't change to KF until pulser updates the ROM.
Can someone confirm that?
I am looking for the same solution for (official) car dock AND desktop dock. All sounds go through line-out except calls which is kind of a stupid oversight by Samsung.
What I'd like is option to have all audio through the 'line-out' of the official docks
Option to have FM work via the same
Option to have the phone operate like a radio alarm when in the desktop dock
1 question though. My phone died on me tonight and when I got back to the car I put it in my dock which made it turn on right away. I got to input my pin, then I saw it was charging but it switched off and restarted and kept on going (off->on for 15secs-> off).. I figured it was because it was running out of battery faster than it was charging it - ridiculous since I wasn't doing anything with the phone. So I had to unplug the car charger cable from the back of the dock, put it in my dead phone for 5mins then replug everything in again.
Samsung needs to look into that seriously...
Edit: I'm running 2.3.4 XXKG5 atm
Where can I place clarification request from Samsung to support phone calls into the Dock?
I will donate 25$ to the one that will make it work
Anyone else ?
Not sure about $25 but I'd donate a few dollars if someone can make the voice and radio be passed through the usb line out while using the existing apps.
Who knows how long it will take Samsung to implement a feature which I am surprised doesn't already work.
I have used my phone connected through the headphone output to my car stereo and made phone calls using the car speakers for the voice feedback and the internal phone mic for my voice. And it worked really well with no echoing at all which surprised me. I thought with the added volume through the speakers that feedback issue would occur but it didn't appear so. Maybe the secondary mi helps with the eco cancellation.
this problem still persists with XWKI4 stock rom. call audio outputs fine through the headphone jack on the phone itself, but refuses to route through the dock. with all of other audio going fine through usb, i'm inclined to think that it's a bug and can be fixed.
And the problem is also present in XWKI8...
I'd also be more than happy to donate to any dev prepared to look into getting the call audio rooted through the line out. I've been reading into it a little bit and apparently it is likely to be something that can be changed with a modded kernel. Unfortunately I have no developer experience and wouldn't even know where to start.

Enable noise cancellation when talking with earphones on

I am running aokp (latest by task) on my sgs2-i777.
Problem - Whenever I talk to someone with earphones on...they complain me about getting lot of noise but I can hear them fine...and if I talk without earphones they can hear me fine as well. They describe noise as - when you have phone close to tv or car radio and someone calls...tv/radio speakers emits kind of tutututuuututu...sound.
What I tried - I tried installing Phone.apk from GNex rom...but it didn't helped...if someone know a solution to this...please help...flashing a stock rom will be last thing I want to do.

Noise cancellation only applies when using the device's own mics - if using a separate mic it does nothing.
Get a properly shielded headset... Or move to a location that has 3G service instead of 2G.
Thanks for reply...I'll try samsung's earphones that came with phone...just wondering never had this problem with 2.3.7 build.

[Q][x-post] Bizarre Koss Porta Pro KTC Behaviour

Previous thread was posted in GT-i9305 forum by mistake. I can't delete it. Please disregard it.
Hello;
I know the Koss Porta Pro KTC is designed for iPhone, and this isn't a thread about getting the volume buttons to work, although if anyone knows of a way that wouldn't involve chopping the headset up, I'm all ears.
My question more closely regards some strange behaviour I've noticed when trying to use it to answer calls. If I use the button on the headset itself, it'll answer the call, but use the microphone on the phone for the duration of the call. I then need to remove the headphones and plug them back in to reset the configuration.
If I answer the call by swiping the screen, I can use the microphone on the headset just fine.
Somehow, for some reason, the configuration's become switched round and it's making me miserable.
Specs:
Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Android 4.1.2 XXELLA
ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2
I must be running a ROM, since I can get superSU working, but I used one of those "hurp durp root ur phone in 3 steps" guides so I'm not entirely sure what I used. I'm not very smart with this stuff but I'm not looking to step on any toes.
If anyone knows how I can sort this out, I'd appreciate it.

I9300 - Suddenly: No sound at all

Hello dear friends,
I've been running my I9300 for about 1 1/2 years now. Yesterday, after weeks and weeks of not changing anything (PA3.99RC2), the speakers AND microphone stopped working. So now sound when playing music, no sound during calls and no functionallity of the microphone (Google Voice and Calls). The only thing, which can be related to this issue was a testing of an old external speaker, which i connected to the phones audio jack (and which did not work but did crackling sounds).
I am sure its not a software issue, as I allready reflashed PA3.99 and also returned to 4.1.2 and 4.3 stock rom. What I can say is, that the phone is running quietly well and fast, WiFi, internet, all. But: If I run something with a sound, e.g. tapping on the loudness controll or even starting mp3 or youtube it becomes laggy and stuttering, even rebooting sometimes.
My last workaround was to connect a bluetooth headset to have an "external soundcard" but i still get no sound at all and it becomes to lag.
In my opinion, the soundchip of the device was grilled by using the damaged external speakers and so it responds weirdly to signals -> generating lags on use. Do you have other ideas what could be wrong?
Now for a solution: I think, buying a new (old) mainboard on ebay and changing that part might be the best possibility. Or do you think, the damaged module is in the upper part with the audiojack and the antenna?
Thanks a lot in advance,
cmoe

I would suggest to consult a mechanic, rather than trying by yourself.

Ah, almoust forgot this:
The mechanic told me that changing one of the audio chips would cost 89€. Changing both chips would cost 130€.
I got a new (used) mainboard for 50€, changed it and everything is working well (including all those reidculous data not wiped on the new chip ;P)
Greetings!

Will you stop posting this around. I have yet to see one where you have read and understood the OP Then posting something that is actually useful for the OP and the problem.

Galaxy S3 headphone issues

Hi everybody,
I just got into the world of roms and customs OS, so it made me decide to flash my old S3 I9300 so that i can use it as new as it was.
The real problem is :
even with the non rooted stock firmware, i just find something weird.
first time i restarted my phone after 2 years, i tried to plug in my headphone the notification icon, stayed for just some seconds then it just disappeared and when i tried to plug it in again no more notification icon on the status bar,
after that the issues i have are :
- when i call somebody that person will not hear my voice but have a long beep sound
- but when i try with facebook, skype or line it is working well
- music have no issues
- no notification icon when the headset are plugged in
P.S : i use iphone 5 headsets
even runing cyanogen 12.1 v 7.1 i have the same issues,
Compatability problems is the problem. Buy a headphone designed for all devices, not just Apple. Apple always makes special tweaks to everything they have (for better performance with devices from Apple too), so there may be problems when interacting with devices which is not from their kin.
ok, i will try this right away, thanks for the tip bro

I tried with other samsung earphones, still have the same problems,
changed the headjack part today and still have the same problem
i worked once when i turn off wifi, is it possible that there is conflict between those 2?
Well its probably something with hardware, it might be your audio chip or something. Anyway I'm not really good at hardware so I suggest you ask someone else
i will try to find a solution to that issue, i think the best for now is using a bluetooth headset :/
