Has anyone tried to connect a USB DAC or something similar like a USB headset or soundcard to the Redmi Note 2? It should be officially supported under Lollipop but what about MIUI?
Seriously, some one of you must own some kind of USB audio device? Plug it in using a USB otg cable and report your findings!
I personally use usb audio with a simple radio, using a otg adapter and everything works fine... You have to wait about ten seconds after you plug it in

Thanks! That's exactly the information I was looking for. Can you also control USB volume on your device? (This may also depend on the kind of radio you have)
That works too! My radio is not exactly the latest model, it's kinda old. Going on USB output it works just fine, and I can control the volume both from the device and the radio! I mostly use it to listen to Spotify!

That's great! Volume control is actually more likely to work with older usb audio devices since they usually don't need any special drivers. One last question, are you running MIUI 6 or 7?

Hi to everybody!
I am a owner of a Galaxy 3.6 player and I am very interested in buying the new dac / headphone amp by Fiio, the E18 model.
You can see more details on the official site (Products -> Portable AMP&DAC).
In the description they write:
"E18 can work with smartphones with USB OTG function"
I don't think that my player supports this feature, but I ask: is an hardware problem (the player does not supply sufficient energy) or a software problem (too old Android version, ...)?
If this is not possibile with the litlle GP 3.6, there is on the market another player that can do this?
[Little OT: the old Galaxy S with cyanogenmod 10.1.3 supports the usb otg?]
I believe (according to the OP) that Androthan's Arcane Kernel for the GP3.6 supports usb otg feature. But there are a lot of people mentioning wifi problems with that kernel and the usb otg feature has not been tested (not sure) therefore I would'nt recommend it.
As for other Galaxy Players, I doubt the stock rom and kernel of any player have the usb otg feature. But it has been achieved through custom kernels with usb otg support

Many thanks for your answer.
I found on the forum the related thread for the Kernel that you have indicated, but it seems discontinued.
Perhaps there is a hope for the Androthan's CyanogenMod porting...
In the meantime I investigated how the Fiio E18 will work with a android device. Here is an answer I found in another forum:
"When E18 works as a DAC for the smartphone, the phone will not provide power for the E18. That is to say, the E18 will not consume the power of the smartphone when the E18 plays a role of DAC."
So it seems that is not mandatory that the player can supply power via usb. Perhaps is enough that the USB OTG is enabled in the kernel.
I will ask about this to Androthan...

Another question. The development on a custom rom for the galaxy 3.6 is still in development and in a early stage. Which player got a good custom rom, stable and without big issue?
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus con Tapatalk
Well both the 3.6 and 4.2's CM7 is still under development and currently these devices only have stock.based ROMS and themes.
Both the 4.0 & 5.0 have custom roms including CM10.2. I've heard they have managed to get 5.0's 4.2.2 stable along with FM radio and camera (using a third party app). The 4.0 only has minor camera issues.

Here is another question about the USB OTG feature.
I'm not a developer, so I ignore many things about the question...
From what I've read on this forum, the OTG is usually introduced with a kernel that can be flashed on a stock or custom rom.
But here is my question: if I want to introduce only this feature in a device, it would be possible to do it with a "simple" patch or an app?
The device MUST be rooted to obtain this feature?
I ask this because to use an external DAC like the Fiio E18, it would be really useful to be able to achieve this functionality in a "simple" way without having to flash a custom rom or a kernel...
Nope...you have to use a custom kernel which includes the usb otg feature, does'nt matter with which ROM, stock or custom. Also I heard someone telling the USB OTG feature cannot be used with our players due to lack of enough power from the micro usb port.
EDIT: I think if a kernel (stable) with USB OTG feature is released for the 3.6, you'll be able to use your DAC as it doesn't need power from the phone.

Hello
Just got my new Nexus Player and after long search I can't find the right answer.
I want to connect the player to my Ethernet in my house for better connection and if possible to add an external HDD.
Here is my list of questions and I hope that I've got the the right place:
1. I want to have the maximum network speed and I have Giga cables in my walls . Is there a standards in the adapter that I need to buy to have the maximum speed? Or all the adapters have the same speed limit?
2. Is there a way to connect both Ethernet and USB HDD long side? Is there a magic box that have USB and also an Ethernet connection? If there is I would like to get an advise what is the best one to buy.
If someone have an experience what the items I need and have an advice what is the best to buy - I will love to get some links.
Many thanks in advance

You'll need an OTG cable, a USB 2.0 hub (a powered one if you're going to hook up non-powered hdd), and then just about anything you want will work through the hub. For expanded storage you'll need to root and install stickmount. If you want to install large games then you may need foldermount as well.
Sorry for posting the same issue for the 5th and many thanks for helping me - now it's time for shopping

In Amazon type in "ethernet USB hub", many results will come up. Here is a link to the first one. I don't know for sure if it is compatible or not though.
Anker® 3-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Converter (3 USB 3.0 Ports, A RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Port, Support Windows XP, Vista, Win7/8 (32/64 bit), Mac OS 10.6 and above, Linux) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KGV7I9Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-ifUub140WKQG
The problem is that even if the adapter supports full Ethernet speed the USB port on the nexus player will not.
So, you should get the benefit of a stable connection... But it will never be beyond USB 2.0 speeds.
I am connected to 2.5ghz wireless N and I haven't had a problem with 1080p Netflix, no stutters on YouTube and modern combat 4 and 5 both play with no lag.

Can anyone tell me why my USB flash drive doesn't always mount with my Nexus player? I've got a powered Plugable USB hub, with my pny 32gb fat32 format USB drive.
It keeps switching names and sometimes doesn't show up at all until after I rerun stickmount.
This happens after waking from sleep as well. I'm obviously rooted and unlocked what am I missing?
Also how do I activate pro on stickmount after I've purchased it. I just get a weird screenshots about the pro version when clicking upgrade....

I want a wireless connection from my Nexus 9 to a projector.
I tried to attach a Chromecast to the HDMI port of the projector but Chromecast requires WiFi.
This solution works at home but not at place I have not access to a free WiFi connection.
The idea is to wirelessly present slides in meetings using my tablet.
Any wireless solution that you know would work??
Need my Nexus 9 and projector ..... (buy a receiver but what)
Will Miracast do the job?
1) Buy a dongle
2) Attach it to the HDMI port of the projector
3) Run and app
4) Present slides with no wires
miracast wont work.
you would need a hotspot maybe by using your phone..i forget if that can be done or not. you will need to use the tablet to set up the chromecast
Chromecast did not work using my phone as a hotspot..... dropped in 5 minutes.
Support forums say mobile hotspot is not supported.
May look into hard wiring the Nexus 6 to the projector..... not something I want to do, makes for ugly presentations.
Yeah if you could connect to it in a offline mode, a router would be your fix. Wish there was another way.
Have you looked into EZCast dongle? There are so many variants I can't decide which to try. Results are mediocre overall, but some are reporting success. I just want to cast videos from tab storage to TV without wifi. This device does that. It also does miracast. I've done the build.prop edit that may allow miracast. If I try one (or two), I'll let you know.

Yeah, I dont think that miracast would work for that .
When do you don't want failure, I would recommend trustworthy wires.

You can get a USB Dongle that accepts other usb cables, hdmi, etc etc. It's pretty easy.

You can do something like this

and just plug the hdmi end into your projector.

Well, I don't have this cable, but I used to use a similar cable on my old nexus 7 and it would mostly work on my tv. I just use Chromecast now (I don't need to present anything like you're talking about, though. Just to watch youtube etc.

Interesting as I don't think I was (nor were most others) ever able to mirror my Nexus 7 2012 to the TV via a cable. Micro usb to HDMI--I've never seen one, only dongles such as MHL and Slimport. MHL isn't supported as it is on my old Galaxy Nexus. Slimport isn't supported as it is on the N7 FHD and Nexus 5. A micro usb-to-hdmi would not work without some sort of hardware and software adjustments because of the limitations of the usb port on the Nexus 7.
As the thread is about a wireless connection to a projector when there is no accessible wifi, we came around to wired connections. So far, you're the only one to suggest a cable will work, but the cable you hyperlinked is a micro hdmi-to-hdmi which would not natively work on any Nexus tablet or phone (at least since Galaxy Nexus). I have that cable.
I have read that the EZCast dongle may work--if you actually get a good one and are close enough to the output device. I'm not ready to try it as I'm still debating keeping my N9.
Hi everyone, sorry for bad English, I am Italian.. Today I have installed twrp recovery, flash last version miui 8 and flash super user for have root on my devices..

Hi everyone.
Have you had a chance to try it with external USB DAC like dragonfly red? Is full volume available? How are the USB audio drivers implemented? Most phones have some problems with it and I do not want another phone with external DAC working only with one app- USB audio player pro or not working at all.
I'm using Fiio Q1 MK II. Audio works on some roms - MIUI, PE, Syberia. Other roms I tried doesn't work - LOS, NitrogenOS. I have no idea why... Trying to find the solution myself.

I own the same DAC and LineageOS does not recognise it. I have other DAC (an hifime sabre 9018) and it works... I wonder if there's just a kernel change

I went back to MIUI 10.2.2. My fiio q1 mk2 works perfectly on the stock rom. Gonna stick to MIUI for some time before trying custom ROMs again.
I have observed that ROMs released before December 2018 work fine with my fiio q1 mk2. I tested late November releases of PE and LOS and they both work. Late December builds do not work. I'm thinking it's something to do with the source developers are using. I'm not sure if future ROMs will start supporting my DAC. Fingers crossed.
---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------
I also tried different kernels (stock, Franco, Sphinx) with PE and LOS. Didn't help...
I have a feeling it's something to do the how the ROM handles USB audio. It feels like the OS is continuously looping when I plug in the fiio. Others have reported that other DAC brands work while my fiio q1 mk2 doesn't. Maybe driver fiio uses is not in the newer ROM builds. I wonder why support was lost....
Please let me know if you find a solution

I bought the fiio usb c to micro USB otg cable. The fiio q1 mk2 only comes with a lightening to micro USB.
I have Sonata HD II DAC cable which works in all ROMs I tried including LOS, NOS, CrDroid, Reloaded, and AOSiP (all tried in their stock kernels and then Sphinx).
I use both Poweramp and Hiby without problems and sound as good as they should be. I even tried UAAP trial version which recognizes my hardware also (though I'm currently sticking with LOS with Franco).
To anyone with issues, have you tried updating to their respective lastest firmware if there's any?
Hi All!
Just for information regarding Poco and external DAC (DragonFlye Red).
USB Audio Player Pro:
Pocophone F1 is marked as "NOT WORKING ANDROID DEVICES", because of "Massive USB errors"
It works perfectly (at least playing local files up to 192/24) after setting in "USB Tweaks"->"Bus speed"->"Full speed (USB 1.1)".
If left in "Auto" or "High Speed (USB 2.0)" it doesn't work at all.
Also it works "USB Audio"->"Bit perfect mode" up to 96/24. (But it's a limitation of the DAC)
Neutron Player: everything works after setting "Audio Hardware"->"Direct USB Access". But USB Audio Player sounds better.
Currently using the F1 stacked with topping nx4dsd it can decode even 768k pcm and dsd512 no problem.
Can it play Hi res files with it's internal DAC?
I do not have access to an external DAC. Can F1 play Hi Res Audio Files(24/192) with the internal DAC with Hi Res Supporting Headphone on USB Audio Player Pro? If yes, then how? Please Help!
Centrance slim works fine with MiUI, can't say about rest.

I see, thanks for heads up.
For the said question, some players like Poweramp, USB Audio Player Pro, and Neutron are able to play Hi-Res through internal DAC though doesn't good as much as phones with dedicated DAC.
