Nearly every time I plug in my headphones (there's no mic on them), this thing pops up. It was a "meh" at first, but now it's plain annoying. Does anyone know how to stop this screen from popping up?
I had this problem on the LG G3 and G4 -- Google Now or Voice Control pops up intermittently when using headphones or an audio cable. Purchase a set of headphones with a mic. I also had to buy an audio cable / mic for my car. This solved the problem. Cheers.
I'm having same problem when plug it to my car using aux cable. But never has this issue when plug it to my bose via aux.. Probably because my bose aux cable has mic?
Same thing happens for me.
It acts like there is some static when the cable plugs in as I can get the same effect if I spin the plug and get static.
Settings --> Smart Settings --> Accessory --> "When earphones plugged in".....
I hope this helps.
I have that setting turned off and I still see where google now pops up when I plug/static with my headphones.
Hello, I have the same problem with Google Now opening everytime I plug in my earphones. Is there anyway to stop this happening? I have Smart Settings turned off. Thanks.
Try touching the end to something metal to ground it. Worked for me.
It seems it has something to do with cheap aux cable? My aux cable in my car is pretty cheap one, the other one that i use with bose soundlink, bought in Japan.
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!
It's easy to force high impedance mode.
I've got a set of headphones with a detachable 1/8" jack at both ends, but you can use a splitter and an extra 1/8" double male plug cable as well.
I use the 1/8" cable and connect my v20 to another cell phone or tablet headphone jack. It immediately goes into high impedance. I unplug only the end going into the other phone and plug that end into my headphones. As long as the cable stays plugged into the v20 it stays in high impedance mode
If your headphones don't have a detachable cable, it'll still work with a splitter and a cable that has male 1/8" plugs at both ends.
Using the splitter, plug your splitter into the v20. Use the double 1/8" jack cable to connect the splitter to a phone or tablet. Once it's in high impedance mode, unplug the cable from both ends and connect your headphones to the splitter. Don't remove the splitter plug from the v20. As long as the splitter stays plugged, you'll be in high impedance mode and get more power into your headphones
Ok...what is the use of high impedance?

its just wasted a time, and change nothing on everything you hear. look, high impedance automatically triggered only if you put headphone with 50 ohm above. you know why? because regular phone or music player only could deliver impedance with range 15-30ohm. while lg v20 like any other DAP with external amplifier could support from 50-600 ohm. even with 250 ohm headphone if you put on regular phone it would only run on 30 ohm max. and same goes to your phone, even with your v20 or any DAP player which support 50ohm impedance above, if you connect to low impedance headphone it would only run on your max headphone impendance. its not something you could force to work.

Bro I agree with you. I have used 60ohms headphones and 45ohms headphones with my Lg V20. With 50hms and above, we can see "high impedance headphones connected" in settings.but nothing improved in sound quality. So doing force high impedance is unnecessary.

check your audio files first, make sure you have lossless audio like flac or dsd. for flac i recomended using song with 24bit/96khz. if you playing with stock lg music player you'll see there is "hifi" icon on the selected song. join audiophile comunity for more reference. and for headphones , well.. there are many type, some headphone have flat bass, more vocal, etc. choose one which suits you and the music you played. from what i got while browsing on auido/video community, there are 3 main requirements for best audio experience:
1. good drivers aka player like DAP/AMP or our beloved LGv20 which support impedance above 50 ohm
2. lossless audio files like flac, dsd/dsf which support hifi system
3. good headphone with high impedance that has many feature depends on your need. some people love high bass, while other prefer clear vocals, etc
lg v20 is a good drivers, its not the best but its good if you dont wanna spend another 150-250$ on music player with dedicated amplifiers.
High Impedance Workaround
I was thinking the same thing on an easy workaround, so I bought a $3 splitter, plugged in my AKG headphones which pulls up high impedance, then plugged the B&O earbuds. (that came with my V20)Then unplugged the AKG's and it remained in high impedance mode. Doing that, if you turn the volume up higher than 75%, you'll probably pop an ear drum. It gets waaay loud and clean!

Why not just use my mod and forget about extra cables?
NVM.. Just read no root. Sorry folks.

I never said it improved quality. I understand how DACs and amps work.
The reason for high impedance mode.... If you have headphones with less than the 50ohm threshold, high impedance mode increases power output from the amp. The result.... On low impedance headphones you get more power which means higher volume output.
I have a set of V-moda Crossfade LP cans that are less than 50ohm. On the regular power level, max volume of 75 still lacks a couple decibels for my preference. When I trip high impedance mode I am able to reach a higher volume level and I usually don't need to go higher than 60.

Exactly... Higher volume output. I didn't say it improved quality, as others are arguing.

Look at my last post.....
Triggering high impedance mode and then connecting low impedance headphones will give you more amp power which equals higher volumes. Does nothing about increasing quality just higher volume threshold. But only if you trigger high impedance and THEN connect LOW impedance headphones
This mod worked with a splitter in my v20. Thanks @Sid 6.7. wow listening to low impedance headphones at high power is a fun. Great workaround.
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
I have an Android Tablet with Android 6.0 installed in my car. My car has a aux input in the factory stereo so I've connected the USB dac (pictured in the attachment) in the DC power USB hub that connects to the tablet using the OTG cable. I further split the output of the dac to seperate the Mic and Audio. Every time the tablet wakes up from sleep the DAC is detected but there is no sound i get a buzzing like sound. If i disconnect the USB completely and plug it back in then it works perfectly. I left it unplugged and plugged it in after the tablet wakes up then it works fine. But for some reason if it's plugged in to the USB before the tablet wakes up then it gives that problem. Does anyone know what the problem can be? I forgot to mention it's connect via a short USB extension. One thing I can possibly do as a work-around is cut the power to the USB extension and have some kind of delay on it so it doesn't start up straight away when tablet wakes up.
Also, I have a high gain car mic connected to the mic side of the splitter but the mic just doesn't seem to work although the mic works when i try the DAC and same setup on my Samsung S20+.
Any help and suggestions would be great. Thanks
