Hello, I have a USB DAC, the Hifimediy Sabre Android Dac,
and i have Sennheiser HD 439 and the volume level is so low...
there are ways to increase the level of the internal audio (headphone,speaker,microphone...)
Is there any way to get more output level in my Usb Audio DAC?
thanks

I've noticed that when I connect the phone to my car through the 3.5mm jack, the volume output is considerably lower than other phones or media players I have. Any fix for it?
Has anyone here successfully used a USB DAC (digital to analog converter) with the Ham2? I am thinking about buying a Fiio USB DAC to improve audio out from the phone as I use it with headphones frequently. If anyone has used any DAC with the Mate2 I'd like to know what your experience has been!
Has anyone figured out if you can use the phone as an "external DAC", use the ESS DAC but in a "line-out" mode for connection to a stereo via analog cable to their stereo line inputs? I tried using it normally, and the DAC showed as enabled, but the quality was not as impressive as I had hoped (in comparison to my Marantz UD5007 when playing a standard red book CD via it's analog output to the same input on my stereo).
thanks!

What kind of cable did you plug in? LG set it up to limit the DAC based on the cable plugged in, I'm assuming they did this as most users probably use earbuds and the DAC at full power would probably damage most earbuds. And I've found in my car, plugging the aux cable in when its not plugged into anything enables the DAC at full power. I didn't discover this, some on headfi did.
I'm using a 3.5mm to stereo RCA cable into the line inputs on my stereo. The phone shows the HiFi DAC as being enabled but it is not in Hi Gain mode, and I get the HiFi volume adjustment levels when I change the volume. So basically the same as when I use it with my IER's, but not Hi Gain mode like when I plug in my Sennheiser HD580's. Which is fine, but I'm wondering if I can bypass the amp while still using the better DAC.
thanks!
Hi
I recently acquired some old but great quality USB desktop speakers. So no aux cable, just a standard USB connection for the audio.
I had an OTG cable lying around and surprisingly they work when plugged into my phone. However the speakers themselves do not have any volume controls and so max volume on my phone is fairly quiet on the speakers.
I've been doing some research and I think I have some hope in editing the mixer_paths.xml file in the system files. People use it to increase the internal speaker and headphone jack volume. However I'm unsure what to edit or if it's even possible to increase USB audio output volume.
Any help or other ideas would be massively appreciated!

It speakers have their own DAC (which I suppose they have, as audio over USB is mostly digital), you might have luck with this method - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/guide-apple-usb-c-to-3-5mm-dac-dongle-t4069437
I'm presuming the speakers are not externally powered and get there power also from the USB connection?
If so then there is probably nothing you can do as the phone cannot supply that much power to output louder music without the speakers being plugged to an external ac source
hello guys so i'm facing a little issue just bought new over ear headphones for use with my xiaomi mi 8 but the volume does not seem to get loud enough so my phone can drive these headphone properly due to not enough power being supplied to HS , so i was wondering if there is some kind of mod to increase output though type c port and i don't mean EQ like v4a and else
Use a pair of high-quality earbuds and /or a high-quality headphone to improve your Android device’s sound quality and volume.
