I have a couple of questions regarding the following:
- is the USB-C to 3.5 dongle included with the mate 10 pro include a dac?
- The BT Audio when used in the car does have lower sound than the Galaxy S8 which is my second phone plus the APTXHD found in the developer options doesnt work too.
any ideas?

I think its a dac, I just used it in my car and the sound is way stronger and different, I'm sticking to that instead of the BT Audio in the Huawei.
I doubt that the dongle holds the DAC but the SOC does. Or at least it's on the motherboard.
Did anyone try the huawei histen audio though?

It does make my Xiaomi earphones sounds better. I'm on Mate 10 though.

Yeah, it's great but I have to go to parameters - huawei histen each time I put my headset.
Option is always activated but seems work only I go to parameters first

I doubt that the included dongle holds a DAC/Amp. Instead, I've been using my DragonFly Black (1.5) with a usb-c to usb-a otg cable, which delivers a much cleaner/wider/louder sound.
Regarding Bluetooth codec, AptX HD works great for me (using Aiaiai TMA-2 + H05), maybe your car BT receiver is not compatible?...
I tried both the dongle and the included USB Type-C headphone on my old Mate 9 Pro, and interestingly, the USB Type-C headphone worked perfectly while the dongle was not working at all.
Since Mate 9 Pro has a built-in 3.5mm AUX port, I don't think it supports USB analog audio pass thru. Therefore, I think the included headphone indeed has a DAC, but the dongle doesn't . If this is true, then Mate 10 Pro indeed has a DAC built in.
Mate 10 pro was functioning normally for a couple of months before it suddenly stopped playing audio from that USB cable to headphone dongle. Whenever headphones are connected, the phone still plays audio from the phones speaker system. For some reason the phone does not register the fact that the headphones are connected to it and the headphone icon does not pop up. I've tried factory resetting the phone and cleaning out the port but the problem is still there leading me to believe that this is a software issue.
Anyone else experiencing this or has fixed this?
Hi. I'm also using mate 10 pro and same thing happened to me. It suddenly stopped working. I was given 2 headphones when i bought it but it wont recognize both. I thought it was the jack, so i tried the other headphone and still the same. It's not a port issue because phone works just fine if i connect it to my laptop.
It also started overheating and won't charge when using the original charger but works if I connect the cord to my samsung charger (this is why im sure its not the port). The battery started draining faster as well. It as working great before that. I already uninstalled some apps, run virus scan, optimise, check audio settings, check cords...
This all started happening at the same time and i don't know if anyone else is having the problem.

I had the exact same problem as you have described with my mate 10 pro. I also tried what you already have, but I didn't manage to fix it. The only thing I did not test was to flash another rom, or reflash stock, but at that time I didn't know of any others with the same problem.
I gave up and sent the phone to service where they replaced the motherboard and a flex cable (cable between the motherboard and the USB-port). Im still not sure if this is a hardware or software problem.
In my situation, I always heard a crackling sound before the music stopped, but everything was normal afterwards and this happened about approximately 8 times in a period of 2 weeks, until the last time when the music stopped and the phone experienced som sort of kernel panic and restarted. After that my phone did not recognize headphones, got hot and would not charge.
The thing is that I have experienced this one after the hardware replacement, but it did not restart and kept functioning as normal as before where I just have to start the music again, but I'm afraid that this will happen again after a couple of times.
Did you manage to find a solution?
Solved!
Solved the issue. It's a software issue. I found that when excessively used the device must go into a safe mode and stops the reverse type C from functioning. All I did was put the earphones provided with in and forcibly restarted device by holding power button for more than 10 seconds. Hope this helped!

unfortunately it's not. Today afternoon suddenly stopped. Phone is charging but not detect any headphone, even original usb-c headphone.
Not every problem is the same. Mine was a software issue. Yours may be different
So I have this problem and I have done some testing with 2 phones
Phone 1 - Mate 10 Pro Dual Sim (BLA-L29)
Phone 2 - P9 PLUS (VIE-L09)
Headphones are
Set 1 - standard USB type-c headphones (standard/original with the Mate 10 Pro)
Set 2 - standard 3.5mm jack headphones (standard/original with P9 Plus)
PLUS
usb type-c to 3.5mm jack adapter (accessory that came with Mate 10 Pro)
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Scenario 1
Connect headphones set 1 to Mate 10 Pro
Result: audio from device speakers only, nothing through headset
+
Notification saying "Supplying power to connected device over USB" and after tapping the notification setting screen states "Use USB for" - 5 options available and "Reverse Charging" is selected by default. No options available suggesting use as audio device.
Scenario 2
Connect headphones set 1 to P9 Plus
Result: audio through headphones
Scenario 3
Connect headphones set 2 to adapter to Mate 10 pro
Result: audio through headphones
Scenario 4
Connect headphones set 2 to P9 Plus
Result: audio through headphones
Scenario 5
Connect headphones set 2 to to adapter to P9 Plus
Result: audio through headphones
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
So as it stands, this makes no sense at all.
I think I have tried all the potential combinations and I'm at a loss why headphones set 1 doesn't work on Mate 10 Pro but headphones set 1 works with P9 Plus

I have identical issue as yours. Me too see have seen the Supplying power to connected etc... Have you found the solution? What did you do?
Started happening to me this morning. I've had this phone for one week ffs - and only used the usb-c to jack dongle 3 times
I saw that a lot of people have this issue with the Pixel 2 too, and apparently only since the January security update. Might be interesting to try this out with the december patch and then with the january one?
Edit: Tried the included headphones and they work. Whereas the dongle seems to move a bit in the port, but even if I push on it it's not recognized. Wish I had another USB-C phone to try the adapter with.
I talked to support and the options they gave me are to send back my phone to the nearest repair centre (at my own cost, just for an adapter), or to see with Amazon (where I bought the phone), or to try to get it repaired somewhere close. No way they would send me another adapter, even if it costs them 10 cents to produce I'm sure (ok, 12 cents if there's a DAC inside).
I knew the build quality looked cheap but I didn't expect it to die after 3 uses.
I guess I'll buy a USB-C to USB-A adapter and buy an Audioquest DragonFly too. That way I'll have good sound.
Yes, just same as urs. I have done factory reset but same story.

Hi, I've got the same problem as any of them eith a slight variation. I can't connect to my computer. Please give a more detailed instruction. I really need this fix. I don't know if I will send my phone to service or to wait for the next update. Please. We need every help we can get. Thankyou in advance
Same issue
I have the same issue .. Huawei Mate 10 Pro .. original headphone not working ... no fast charge .. and not recognized by the computer .. did you find any fix guys?
I ended up buying a USB-C to micro USB cable (from CableCreation on Amazon) and a SMSL X4 (DAC + Headphone amp) and for 50€ I can now use my headset again, with an even better sound quality and louder. And I can also plug it into my PC.
Got instantly recognized by my phone so no issues there. If you have 50€ and your usb-c/jack adapter doesn't work I highly recommend doing it.
Any solution?

Any solution? my mate 10 pro happen same like you. already factory reset. still same problem.
I've got the same problem. Went to a HUAWEI Service Center today and they told me they've seen this before and need to replace the board containing the speaker, MIC and USB connector. Waiting for the parts to arrive now...
Same thing happened to me, but my original charger still works and still fast charges. I tried to use original earphones and a few different types of USB earphones but none of them are being recognised??? Sending my phone off to be looked at tomorrow, let you know how it goes.

Please guys does any of you have a solution to this problem? After it forced restart yesterday the type C to headphone jack adaptor isn't working and also the super charger that comes with the box, it shows the charging sign but the battery percent isn't going up. I tried using a normal apple charger it works but charges really slowly.
So what do you guya think about the headphone sound of the mate 10 pro? I tried many dongles with my ath m40x and the sound ia juat awful, i also tried connecting a dac but huawei devices dont support usb dacs.. Is that a problem with my device?
Hi all,
I bought the Hidizs Sonata HD USB-C to Jack 3.5mm headphone adapter with integrated DAC.
When I connect the dongle to my Galaxy S20 (Exynos CPU) USB-C port, the device is not detected and audio output goes to phone speakers.
The strange thing is that if I connect in this mode: SONATA HD USB-C PORT to USB-C to USB-A adapter to USB-A to USB-C OTG adapter, the device is recognized by phone and works good.
It seems that the phone detects the device only if OTG (and then usb host mode) forced by hardware adapter (SAMSUNG OTG ADAPTER).
Do you think it is a problem with the S20?
Thank you!
I have the same adapter, and works for me without problems. My phone is S20 ultra 5g european version. The installed Hidizs firmware version is audio priority, software for playing music is poweramp.

thank you serafko! I just tried on my friend phone (Samsung Galaxy S8) and the adapter works (some disconnections but works).
I have the audio priority firmware also.
I think there are some settings on my s20 that blocks the activation of the usb host mode

Activate Developer options>default USB configuration and see if mucking with the USB settings perk it up.
The S20 may not be supported by it,same issues on the 10+ with some dongles.
It must have a built in DAC chipset if the S20 doesn't provide one. I'm not sure if it does or doesn't.*
If others say it works on the S20, it should otherwise get one that's known to be compatible.
*edited, my bad

I tried to change default usb configuration in developer mode but not solved. Tried all options.
The Sonata HD has an integrate Hi-Res DAC.
In addition, after about 70 connect/disconnect attempts, my s20 detects the DAC, works for 1-2 min and then stop working. After that, the phone has not detected the DAC anymore.
The strange thing is that if I connect the DAC via an OTG adapter, all works good without any issues.
I tried "USB Host Diagnostics" App, but no device is detected.
Furthermore I enabled USB debug to view the logcat via ADB. When I connect the device on USB-C port I can see a "BATTERY CHANGED" event on the USBProvider module, but android not detects any device connected on USB-C port.
If I connect the same DAC on a s10 (with same android and EMUI version of my S20) or on a s8, device is detected and works, so I think that isn't a defective device. It seems that Android not activate USB OTG mode when device is connected on the USB-C port.
@serafko has my same phone and the same device (with the same firmware version) and he has no problems. This makes me think that more than a compatibility problem with the S20 is some Android setting that causes the problem.

Settings>sound and vibrations>advanced sound settings>sound quality and effects
Is the UHQ upscaler enabled when you connect the device?
Could power management be killing the apk(s) needed?
Power management (other than the power setting, Optimize is best) causes nothing but trouble.
Developer options>stand by apps, all app buckets should show as active, if not power management is active and probably running amuck, as usual.

The UHQ upscaler is disabled (greyed out) with both the connected and unconnected device.
In the Stand by apps I have some apps greyed out with different states (RARE, FREQUENT ,EXEMPTED, etc).
Do you think this could be the problem?
In this case how can I solve?
I have currently enabled "Optimize" in power management.
Thank you so much for your help!
EDIT: I just disabled the "Risparmio energia applicazione" (I think Energy saving app in english) and now all the apps in the Developer options -> stand by apps are in the "ACTIVE" state....same issue! Device not detected and UHQ upscaler greyed out.
EDIT2: Also tried to enable the developer option "Disable automatic audio routing": same issue!
I think this is doable but you're going to have to play with it. Contact the manufacturer if all else fails.

I contacted technical support but they replied after 4 days with a classic standard email.
Also I tried to flash all 3 firmware (now the device is with "D - Pure Music" firmware, the same as the other user.
Finally I did all the tests both with the app they recommend (HybyMusic) and with USB Audio Player PRO, setting the BitPerfect option and exclusive access to the USB port. This way the app bypasses the android usb stack and uses an optimized driver.
I also tried to clear the data and cache of the system application "Usb settings", but despite all these attempts I could not solve it in any way.
At this point, considering that the manufacturer's assistance is practically non-existent, I believe that I will return the product directly through Amazon.
I am very sorry because the DAC quality of this device is amazing and I do not know if I should order another one as I honestly have not yet understood if it is a defective product or compatibility problem.
Anyway thanks again for the help!
As soon as I plug in the Samsung dongle it recognize it and the UHQ upscaler options are available.
Poweramp shows the Samsung 3.5mm adapter with 24bit 48khz sampling rate being outputted.
For whatever reason the phone isn't recognizing the device.
I don't know what the communication protocol is for the linkup. Sorry.

You mean you want to transmit the audio in the bt realm with the BTR5?
Even using the LDAC or AptX-HD codec the resolution and quality will be inferior to the Samsung dongle DAC to 3.5mm audio output.
BT lacks the bandwidth to support 24 bit 96khz resolution.
If the device you're coupling by bt doesn't support AptX-HD it won't do anything the phone bt chipset can't do*.
I believe that phone support the Sony LDAC bt codec, unfortunately only Sony headphones use it.
If you want to use bt headphones with the best easily available HQ audio I go with Sony.

This is a more reasonably priced LDAC headphone set than the top shelf Sony WH-1000XM4. For almost $200 less it doesn't sound as good but pretty close. Compare all the features first if you decide to go this way.

I am sorry, that i missinform you. My Sonata firmware is not "audio priority", but is "pure audio (D)". When i plugin DAC into USB port, Poweramp start automaticaly.

The Fiio BTR5 supports all Bt codecs, LDAC included. In Bt mode supports up to 96Khz 24bit but in USB mode supports up to 384khz with DSD256 native. The dongle has 2x ES9218P DAC by Sabre.
The Samsung dongle.
The samsung dongle actually has very high quality, in fact I was surprised, but it has a hard time driving my 150Ohm Shure headphones. No problem with my Bose QC20 instead.

Hi Guys.
Just tried the Sonata 2 on S10+ and I'll let a fried try on S20 soon.
This product looks like useless and malfunctioning.
Talking about S10, it integrates a great DAC, it's just heavily limited by software, I don't want to know why...
I rooted it and, modding the mixer_gains.xml, installing Viper4Android and using dynamic driver based headphones it's absolutely unbelievable.
Anyway, Google just improved SafetyNet, they'll soon close the door to any root solution, Magisk included, in a short time we'll have the most of apps refusing to run on rooted phones.
That's why I'm searching for a decent type-c DAC cable.
Coming to the Sonata 2, its volume is just acceptable, but bass frequencies are too weak.
Moreover, its connector is unstable, there's frequent disconnections
Also the game of the 3 firmwares is absurd.
I flashed the sound priority firmware, honestly this firmware increases sound quality a little bit, but it shockingly fails to manage the microphone: on outgoing and incoming calls microphone doesn't work at all.
Finally, reverting to call priority firmware, the microphone still doesn't work.
In my opinion this product looks like the usual chinese bull****, do you confirm?
I'm actually looking to something better, but it prefer it in the "cable" form, using it for work and sport a big device wouldn't be so comfortable...

Ok the provided cable is not bidirectional the one with the logo should go into the phone.
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
