USB-C Audio - Moto Z Questions & Answers

Just wondering if anyone has any insight on this?
On the older Nougat 7+ ROM's my type c headphones work perfectly but not at all on some of the newer 8.1 ROM's.
Only reason is because the battery life and sound is better plugged in than Bluetooth. With a dongle and a regular 3.5 mm headset every Rom works fine.
I know it's not a hardware issue, just seems like it was just left out of the building process.
Is there a Zip to flash or a workaround that would enable USB-C audio?
I appreciate all the work the developers do and I know it's a first-world problem but it's still puzzing

Getting audio adaptors to work with the various GPS roms

ok, we have a 4 page + thread going in the main Titan forum, but many upgraders don't read that part of the forum very often i think. it seems a great number of us can't get any audio using adaptors with the various gps roms installed. You CAN get audio with the standard usb headphones, but i have yet to see someone getting audio using an adaptor like the one here:
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
a number of us have this exact adaptor and it worked with previous roms, but there is no audio with the headphone jack with the gps roms. loading an audiopara file located in the dcd's 2.0 thread does not work either.
anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? thanks.
I've reverted to the official release rom because I couldn't stand the evdo cutouts, but I didn't have any issues with audio with my adapter.
I didn't try WMP though, I only used TCPMP. I don't see why that should make a difference, but maybe it did?
I have my Mogul set up as both a GPS system and MP3 jukebox in my car. I have the "factory" tester rom installed and use a 3.5mm adapter in conjunction with a fm transmitter. The one issue that I had was that the 3.5mm headphone adapter had a right angle on it that when used in conjunction with the headphone and power dongle covered the power connector. A small screw driver and black electrical tape solved that by prying the pins holding the plastic housing around the connector I then just moved the wires so that it was a straight connector and then sealed it with electrical tape. I not only have access to gps and my mp3 collection, I can even make and answer phone calls.
I just went outside and plugged the phone into the car using the usb/audio adapter that came with the phone and a 3.5 adapter on top of that. Streamed some music in wmp of the internet then loaded up tomtom. Everything worked just fine.
maybe the adaptor that came with the phone still works, i'm not sure....but many who have the adaptor linked above for some reason it no longer works. not sure why.
yeah i never could find a 2.5 to 3.5mm adaptor so i bought the one i have...the same one knivesofice is talking about..come to think of it i dont even think i could even find the adaptors that came with the phone because they were useless to me
Still waiting for a fix?
Anyone have a clue if No2chem or DCD are working on this issue yet? Great releases both of them, many props.
Or should we just be waiting for the next release?
Using No2chem .XX42 release. No love from my adapter.
I am using this adaptor

it probably will require reverting to the old wavdev driver and old audiopara. that may require other driver rollbacks too. have not worked on it yet...
Wow!
Wow DcD thank you SO MUCH for the response.
I will wait patiently for the next release.
I know you have a zillion things to work on too.
If there is anything that we in this thread (or I with the adapter in my hands) can do to assist you in your work please let us/me know!
I just tried the 2.2.1 release and the adapter does not work with that either.
Oddly enough, when I hook the y adapter with the usb/2.5 prongs up to my xv6800 then use a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter it works! Odd, and that 2.5 to 3.5 adapter was from Radio shack.
Thanks again.

Guys the seidio adapter here works if used in conjunction with the included HTC Y adapter that goes from the special mini USB on the mogul to a mini usb for charging and a mini usb for headset. If you plug this sedio adapter to the headset jack the external audio functions normally for music, system sounds etc. The seidio car charging/stereo cradle(at a hefty $119) works great for in car gps, stereo MP3 player etc. I will post some pics of my setup later. I'm very happy with the combo and I'm using the DCD 2.1 rom right now.

that adaptor is so much more inconvenient compared to the one i linked above...the one linked above in my original post always worked before. it can still work if changes are made, hopefully dcd will be able to get us up and running again.
I hear ya, but in the meantime this is a work around and it does work I prefer the car kit as I use the mogul for my gps, mp3 player etc in the car. I am going to post some pics in another thread of my gps/mp3 setup in my car. It works incredibly well and looks great too!!
Seidio mount works ok
For what it's worth I am running the "stock" 3.16 and my seidio 4700 mount works ok.

anyone had any luck getting it to work yet? or know if the 2.2.6 dcd or the new no2chem roms fix this problem? Cant wait for a stable Gps rom to come out that supports the adapter. I will be all set after that!

it would rule if someone could fix this. so far it still a problem for many of us.
I have the same adapter that's linkes to in the op. It works for me. I'm running dcd's 2.0.0
But, here's the catch..
You gotta plug in the adapter in to the phone first with nothing attached to the adapter, then plug the headphones into the adapter after that. It works like a charm for me.

Well ok I am still messin with this but have some prelim results :
The adapter that comes with the Titan works perfectly in any combination of plug in/outs and programs except that the 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapters I have get only right channel if pushed in all the way so just pull out 1 mm and ok, but the whole thing is a pain.
The 'Box' looking 2 to 1 Y adapter works if you plug the adapter in firte and then the phones or line out, but apps like SelectRadio and SlingPlayer that release audio adapter during channel changes drop out 3 seconds after the sound stops playing exactly.
My straight usb to 3.5 mm is floating around the office somewhere so I can not test it yet.
Found my straight mini-usb to 3.5mm and it works perfectly with everything. The same headphones and line in cable and audio stuff, and I have 2 of the 'box' type adapters and they both mess up. Maybe a resistor difference or somthing electrically different in the 2 different types of adapters, I will figure it out and fix it and post what it is in this thread. Thanks DCD man you are the man;-)
There seems to be some differences in how the stock and the 'Box' do things, like the 'Box' mutes the built in speaker right away, where as the stock one toggles it when the 2.5 is pluged in or out. I need to find a mini-USB jack with all 5 (yes 5) pins and mess with my ohm meter because I think that the spare pin has a play in this switching and probably will come to play here.
does anyone know if it worked correctly in my 1.6.10 rom/kitchen

Sound output problem on new roms?

Anyone noticed any sound output on the new roms?
i.e: Using the USB jack for audio out?
I plug my **** in and I get no sound.
try turning up ur volume
Yeah it's up all the way.
Bah it's apparently in the usb>stereo adapter I have. Works with the chitty HTC headphones.
no, there is definitely something wrong with the new roms and some adaptors. there are a number of threads about it. so far i have seen no fix.
It takes me a few minutes to get it to work.
Plug-unplug-plug-unplug
It eventually works

Nasty bluetooth/audio adapter issue returns with new roms

I have a Seidio cradle(which has a built in audio out wired adapter) in my car and also have BT in the car. This setup was working great for music and nav audio through the stereo via hard wired aux audio(adapter built into cradle) and when a call came in the bluetooth would take over until end of call then would revert back to sound from aux audio out into car stereo. This initially broke in WM6 with some of the early roms but was fixed in 2.3.2 DCD kitchen. Now, with the new roms it is broken again both stock and 3.0.1 kitchen. The issue is that when I have my phone plugged into the Seidio cradle and thus have it plugged into an aux audio adapter for sound, if I try to make a BT call or answer one, the sound comes out of the audio out adapter instead of the bluetooth!!!! Same thing happens with a Seidio audio adapter that I have that goes from mini USB to standard mini stereo jack. This didn't happen with 2.3.2 but I would like to stay with 3.0.1 due to improved GPS lock speed. Man, this is driving me nuts. Seems like every time one thing starts working better another breaks!!! Thanks for any help in advance and thanks again DCD!!!! You are awesome!!!
BTW, I think this is a different issue than the semsons adapters are having. I am getting normal audio from the audio adapter for music the rest of the time. The primary issue is that bluetooth doesn't override the audio adapter when a call comes in. Anybody else seeing this with the Seidio audio adapters? Thanks.
I have this same issue when i want to use the phone through BT. Hopefully it is just a simple reg key entry.

update on this. I just went back to DCD 2.3.2 and 3.27 radio. This issue resolved and for some reason my GPS lock speed is a lot faster than before. Not sure why. Also, data speeds for me are much better with the 3.27 radio. Close to double in most areas I am usually in. Obviously not endorsing for everyone but I am happy with this setup unless something else crops up.

USB DAC on OTG, works natively or needs a workaround?

Haven\t gotten around to actually buy one of these yet and I need the verification that one of these babies can handle system/wide external DAC via USB.
So, anyone out there who has an answer?
Cheers!
Did any testing?
I am looking for the same answer.
Seems not
I've got a P9000, about 6 months old, just got a Fiio Q1, and it doesn't seem to recognise it at all.
I know the Q1 and cable are fine, since it works straight off with a new HTC M10.
Cheers
Greg.
I don't know if a audio interface counts as a DAC, but will chime in.
Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 is recognized by system, audio playback is fine
Tested with Sporify, stock Music app, and Twitch app.
Calls are a bit buggy
Connected via a ultra cheap usb 3 OTG from Ali

Question Mi mix 4 USB audio

Hello I would like to see if anyone here could kindly help me. Basically I have a mi mix 4 on miui 13 eu rom I have a usb c cable that connects to 2 pin iems the cable has a dac built into the usb c housing the cable works fine on my old phone but with the mi mix 4 occasionally there is a subtle static sound. My old phone doesnt support passive usb audio so a digital signal gets sent to the dac where it turns into analogue since it works on that phone the cable itself isnt the problem however I know xiaomi phones support passive analogue out the usb to 3.5 mm adapter it comes with doesnt have a dac in it and works fine with earbuds with a 3.5mm jack so I was wondering what I can do to fix this issue could a software update to miui 14 eu rom help or should I try pixel experience? Is there someway to make the phone not detect the external dac and bypass it because id be fine with using the internal dac basically by forcing audio adapter accessory mode. I wish I could find a cable that as usb c to two pin that didnt have a built in dac but it seems like it is such a niche thing. All this to avoid having to use a adapter lol
