Hi all.
The sound from a USB DAC (iFi Go Link) I bought to use with my MediaPad keeps pausing randomly, introducing a brief gap in playback each time. I installed UAPP (USB Audio Player Pro), to see if it would help, but it hasn't. Sound from the headphone socket works fine, and the DAC works fine with my Sony Xperia phone.
I've noticed in Settings > Device connection, the "USB" entry is greyed out and states "Disconnected", even when the DAC is plugged in and playing music...?
Are there any (tablet) default settings I would need to change to solve the issue? Are there any known issues in using USB DACs with this MediaPad?
Thank you for any help with my issue.
My specific device is BAH2-W19, Build no. BAH2-W19 8.0.0.371(OCEC431).

First I will explain my set-up:
- Galaxy S 3 Intl. with CM11 snapshot
- USB Audio Patcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48966264&postcount=334)
- Fiio E07K with a USB OTG cable
Now I use this for my music (I use Poweramp as music player). Unfortunately, I can not really use this on-the-go because if the USB connector moves around, Poweramp (or android itself?) thinks the DAC disconnected and stops playing music (and if I press play, it will play it through the speakers if I don't reconnect the DAC).
The DAC itself isn't actually disconnected though. I am wondering if I can force music to always play through USB, regardless if Android thinks the cable is attached or not.
I also seem to have a problem where sometimes it makes crackling noises. Could this be because of an unstable connection too? Most of the time, when I reconnect the cable it's fine again.
hi guys
iv got myself a hifime dac so i could run my audio out of my usb on my ZU into a car stereo but im not getting audio thru the dac, i thought maybe it was the firmware so set about flashing a custom rom (which ive not done in a long time) managed to get the hybrid concept rom installed and tried again but with the same results
basically the power light on the dac lights up and the 3.5mm jack port lights up read but when i plug in either headphones or my home stereo no audio is coming out
am i missing something silly?
and i just plugged the dac into my s7 edge and it works just fine
s7 is on android 7.0
zu is on 5.1.1
there are two options you can play with in developer options.
Scroll down to "Media". Then there's "Use AwesomePlayer (deprecated) and "Disable USB audio routing"
You can also force media server to output to a specific speaker with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl
If output to usb isn't allowed in the free app. The paid app can be found at mobilism..schhh warez is not allowed here.
I found some sort of test tool: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.sobe.usbaudioroot
Help very appreciated but still no joy
I have tried so many varieties of settings within the developer options and the settings within that app! I have also tried this on a couple of roms
For a while I was stuck on resurrection rom with cynageon recovery but I have no got onto dirty unicorn rom running Android 7.1.1 but still no audio comes out the usb
Hello,
I have got a "YokaTV KB2" box with Android 6.0.1.
This box has an AMLogic s912 SOC, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, 2.4/5GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 4, 2 USB, 1 HDMI, 1 AV, 1 SD card, gigabit Ethernet and 1 DC input connectors, plus a remote controller. Of course, it doesn't have a screen, speaker, microphone, camera, GPS and any sensors built-in. The device is rooted by factory and has Google Play market installed. So, this is not a classical smartphone or tablet, just a board with Android installed and video is outputted to HDMI, inputs are bluetooth or wifi keyboards, mice or its own infra red remote controller.
My issue is:
I have researched a lot in order to have a "sure fire" at choosing USB webcamera. As you may know this is not that easy task like in case of Windows. You can easily choose the "wrong one" that gives no video and/or audio (mic) on Android.
Anyway, I've found out that Microsoft LifeCam HD-3000 will be my choice, so I've bought that one. I've also checked it out by an app called CameraFi. It has perfect HD video (up to 720p) and audio (built-in USB microphone) on Android. Bingo... so far...
Then I've installed Skype for Android. Called voice test to check the connection out, but it finished "too fast" and I've not heard my voice. A bad sign...
Then I've called my other device and found out that video is going through perfectly (if we can call 640x480 resolution "perfect" for Skype), but no voice heard.
As you may know there are just a few device settings in Android Skype compared to Windows one. One for video quality (hi/lo) and that's all. No setting for sound input, so I can't select sound source (e.g. internal mic and usb audio/mic).
So, I've got a half-success regarding Skype on Android.
I guess, since internal microphone is configured in box's android, Skype is sticking to use it as default. But as the box has no internal microphone hardware, I can hear nothing (or just low volume static) on the counter side.
My questions:
1. Can I somehow "force" Skype for Android to use webcam's USB microphone instead of the phantom "built-in" mic?
I've tried to remove (comment out) built-in mic from "audio-policy.conf" file, but Skype just threw a message like "microphone is used by another app, quit that app or wait until it ends" or similar.
2. As it seems (as per the above) Skype WANTS to use (the non-existant) internal mic... is there a way to "re-route" the existant USB mic to show up as internal microphone to Skype? Are there any "build.prop" or other config file magics exists for this?
3. If none of the above, then is there a custom modded version of Skype for Android that has a bit more settings regarding audio/video ? I've found a few here but those were worked up to Android 4, but not for 5 or 6. And also I'm not sure if they has the audio settings needed...
4. As a final solution: I would also be happy with an alternative Skype client that could handle my webcam perfectly. But so far, all my searches resulted that "as a new feature:" Skype is missing from the popular clients (IM+, Imo etc.). But we never know, maybe there is one left exist...?
Thanks for reading my lengthy first post.
Is there a solution to the problem above?
I saw a "Sound Device Manager" section within Settings of Android 4.x.x on other TV-boxes.
Maybe there is a way to "enable" such a settings block within Android 6.0.1, too?
Hi, just faced same problems as DonJoee: (Scishion V88 Mini II TV Box, Rockchip RK3229,2 Gb/8Gb, Android 6.0), also after some research (tried already 3 webcams (Trust, Microsoft, No-name) :
-All cams detected by system
-All cams are showing/sending videostream perfect everywhere (skype, viber, UsbWebCameraPro etc.)
Webcam build-in microphone (also all cams): works perfect in Google voice search, UsbWebCameraPro. Problem: Does not work in messaging Apps (both Skype and Viber).
-Recommended disabling „OK Google on every screen“ does not help.
-Looks like after plugging, webcam’s microphone is detected correctly in /dev/snd/ as pcmC3D0c.
-Looks like messaging app always forced to use device internal microphone (TV boxes have no internal microphone), just ignoring others.
In addition to methods of DonJoee i have tried add in bild.prop:
usb.audio.cap.device=pcmC3D0c
audio.input.active=AUDIO_CODEC
Regretfully it does not help.
Any hint on app, that manages audio devices on Android 6.0?
Any other ideas?
Thanks
I faced a similar issue with my Huawei Honor 8 connected through USB OTG (USB C) to my USB microphone Blue Yeti. Tested on a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact as well with the same behaviour. When calling the Echo / Sound test service no audio was recorded at all. On a similar note, attempting to record using one of the few audio recording apps that allow input from USB microphones (RecForge II) was unsuccessful: when set up to use the "default" (and not the internal) microphone the recordings would not start (i.e. the visual representation of the sound input normally seen was static and zero and the time indicator did not move). However, a sound file with length "-596:-31:-23" was still created at every attempt.
I attempted a wide range of options, including enabling/disabling USB Debuggning and selecting different options in Select USB Configuration (including Audio source and MTP) in Developer options. I also made sure USB audio routing was not disabled in Developer options. No change had any effect, and I was confused that upon changing USB mode in the scrolldown menu that appears upon connecting the Blue Yeti to anything else than "Reverse charging" only made the red LED on the Blue Yeti turn off for a second, and then come back on as the phone automatically reverted the setting to Reverse charging. I also tried different USB cables and different OTG adapters to no avail.
The solution I found after much experimenting was not really related to the above. I found that, when attempting to record using the USB microphone in RecForge II, the recording would start if I disconnected and reconnected the USB microphone while recording. What happens is that the phone phone reverts to recording with the internal microphone when the USB microphone is disconnected, hence starting the recording since the audio input is valid. Upon reconnecting the USB microphone (still during recording), there is a few seconds of silence but then the phone switches to taking audio from the USB microphone input and I can record as normal.
The same applies for Skype. When calling the Echo/Sound test service with the USB microphone connected, I wait for the signal to start recording a message and then quickly disconnect and reconnect the USB microphone. This way, I am able to record a message using the USB microphone that is played back to me afterwards. I expect the same solution to apply during Skype calls (disconnecting and reconnecting should enable Skype to take audio from the USB microphone) but I have not tested this.
Hi folks,
I bought a Honor 8X last week, and until now I'm very satisfied, except for one thing: Bluetooth stability.
I use Bluetooth earbuds and speakers on a daily basis, and on all 3 devices I use, I'm encountering regular drops and stutters during audio playback.
I'm using the same devices with my previous phone, a OnePlus 3T, and I didn't get those issues (well, not BT related issues, I had other ones with that phone )
I'm also regularly having troubles to connect to my Anker speaker.
Anyone else is having this issue?
I use BT headset most evenings watching TV etc no pertic brand just cheap ones and not noticed any issue also had my 8x a week nearly

I am facing same issue. Device paired but media audio and input device are disabled. Only showing device is paired
I don't have this issue, it's probably because of the software. If it's not solved with an update, then who knows what's causing the issue.

I don't have this problem. It may be related to your bluetooth device. What is the bluetooth device you use?：○

Well, he said that the bleutooth device worked perfectly with OP 3T, my guess is that the current software of the 8X is the issue.
I fixed this by changing the bluetooth codec used in the developer settings.
1. Enable developer settings
2. Change the Bluetooth audio codec to SBC from aptX to SBC

What's your Bluetooth headset?Have you turned off WiFi for a try?

When I go to developer options, bt audio codec options are grayed out. Can't change anything...
honor 8x cannot find or detect sony wi c300 bluetooth headset...although honor is very good when using it...i am very satisfied but i only regret in terms of connecting bluetooth headset.
I have no issues with bluetooth, the range is better than my previous huawei P8 max and it doesn't randomly disconnect.
What case are you using? Metal bumpers may look cool but they kill bluetooth and cellullar signal.

Hi
I have the same problem and I'm happy to know I am not alone, on French websites I have not found this topic. So my bluetooth headsets are a model called Fozento, Version Bluetooth: V4.2.
And my speakers are Ultimate Ears Boom.
With both I have the same problem and that is very very annoying.
i have the same issue with my bluetooth devices (Bose, JBL)
Hi! I´ve got a weird Bluetooth problem, i hope someone could help. I´ts about data transfer. I tried to send some photos to my work PC from my new 8X. Did not work, it sends a few percent of the photo and then I get an error message "BluetoothStackserver crashed" or something like that. New, up to date PC with the newest drivers, Win 8.1 64 bit. Well, I tried with different other devices, Galaxy S9plus, Honor 7x, Note 10.1 2014, and even my old Surface Pro (also with 8.1 64 bit) it works with everything but my PC. (And my PC works also with all of them). I brought it home, added to my wife´s PC (older but high spec laptop) and also doesn´t work but this time without error messages. I tried to connect to her phone (some LG) also works perfectly. Sending, receiving. I literally tried everything, newest drivers, reboot, but nothing seems working. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Same issue with mine. APTX stutters and is unusable. When I pair headphones that use APTX, I have to turn off APTX and revert to SBC to enjoy listening to music (which is an inferior codec). Something wrong with the software and APTX codec. Hope Honor fixes this in next update.
I am facing the exact problem with honor 8x. Usibg avantree tws 120 and Changing to sbc seems to disable the issue temporarily till i reconnect the buds and forget to revert to sbc as it automatically sets beack to aptx. Worth mentioning i have another galaxy phone which doesn't manifest the problem.
I'm trying to change Bluetooth audio settings on developer options, but they're all disables.
Anyone knows what happens or how to enable them?
Screenshot attached.
I think you have to be connected to one audio device to get those settings accessible, they're greyed out for me as well. As I'm still waiting for my Freebuds 2 to arrive, I haven't tried myself. One reported issue with this is that those settings do revert back each time you disconnect your device, thus you have to set them every damn time you want to connect your headset.
bluetooth and audio is terribe for this device... so out of sync
You do need to be connected to a Bluetooth device for those options to be selectable but it won't let you choose options that aren't supported be the connected device.
I think since Android Oreo Android automatically selects the highest quality codec that the connected device supports which is why the option to select a default codec is no longer there.
When a device is connected you can manually select options that are supported using the developer options.
I haven't had any Bluetooth issues with my M20P. Sound quality is fine, everything connects with no problems and there are no sync issues.
If someone is experiencing issues they might want to try booting into recovery and wiping the system cache.
My M20P connected more quickly to my car Bluetooth after I did that.

I have completely the opposite. This is the only phone you can watch netflix or youtube on through bluetooth which doesn't take the video and audio out of sync.
As for the OP, you can't force a bluetooth peripheral to use a coded it doesn't support.
BOSE for example uses AAC or SBC.
Ok mine are the jaybird runs .. work fine on every other device except this.
I have a range of bt devices. Two Fiio device with LDAC, Aptx-(HD) support and a Sony wh900n with the same. When connected is automatically uses LDAC (best available quality) , but in the Bluetooth setting I can switch to aptx-hd (more stable connection)
