Does anyone have something they recommend? I was looking at some of the cheap ones as well as the Sound Blaster but IDK. Also does the Android EQ work with a USB Sound Device?

Just wondering if anyone had and remembers the n95's feature of video playback through the audio jack i still got my n95 cables and just wonder if theres a way for xperia to do the same thing? audio is fine of course
cheers
TV-out? X1 can't do it.
This has been discussed before mainly because the HTC TP has tv-out. Unfortunately, the X1 does not have the same tv-out feature as the TP.
Though wouldn't the more feasible thing be, if you have the cables handy, to try it?
Im pretty sure the xperia x1 lacks the hardware for tv out.
It doesn't, you can (if that's possible) connect to you TV or anything else via USB if you place it in storage mode.
I believe a phone having TV out is extremely useless.
And btw, a 3,5" jack only sends audio through your cables which is quite obvious imo..

3.5mm jacks can be modified to pass on more than just stereo audio (or receive); apart from optical digital audio I've had something that supported microphone in or something.
Well, the 3.5 mm jack from Xperia supports microphone in as well, doesn't it?
We all have got the headsets that came with the Xperia...
There's already a thread discussing this:

Complete with pictures of the pins of the audio jack
a 3.5 connector can be used to transfer many things
had an old asus tnt2 video card with 3d shutter glasses which used
a 3.5 which I kinda doubt would do much good connecting to my x1
Hey,
I was wondering about the quality of such cables. Like this one :
http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/ADAPTAT...ripheriques_CasquesMicros&hash=item20bc79d7f1
Do they work well ? My stock headset is dying and want to replace it with a standard jack headset. Does this adaptator affect the sound quality ?
And on a side note, does headset buttons and controls still work if I use it ?
Thanks.
Sound quality is not affected, i'm sure at 99%,but all depends on your headphones,i bougth a snheisser by 10$ and i'm so glad with them.
About the buttons headset didn't proved it but i think they would work.
I bought something like that, the phone doesn't automatically detect it so I have to use a widget to activate it. The sound quality is ok, but it's better over bluetooth
Ya it work
One you have showed is 5-pin mini USB(male) to 3.5mm jack (female) and if button is on the connector it will work, if button is on your earphones then it will not work. I also use this kind of connector but it came with the box.:good:
I was wondering if something like this could help in improve output sound on over beloved htc hd2:
http://www.fiio.com.cn/product/index.aspx?ID=6
http://www.fiio.com.cn/product/index.aspx?ID=28&MenuID=020301
The other model can be used as digital to analog converter but only on pc . Has anyone tried something like this on leo?
I have used the E11, did improve the sound a little, but it would not be as good as using a USB DAC. Do note that the HD2 doesn't support connecting a USB DAC, so can't help you with that. A E5 would be a cheap and tiny upgrade in the sound quality.
Better to use EQ through something like PowerAmp. Occam's razor is best when it comes to the audio chain.
I tried poweramp ,neutron ,dsp manager and in the end when it comes to sq and funcionality in the end I think best way to go is default player and dsp manager. When hd2 was new and out I think I saw people managing to use it as usb hub. Or is just my memory playing tricks on me? Wouldn't something like that work with usb dac on hd2?
i have a firestone fireye mini which works quite well with the HD2 and is super small aswell.
just to throw that in.
Hi I was listening to my music and I was impressed but just wanted that bit more volume I don't want to root ect (I cannot believe I'm saying that)
Has anyone tried a usb dongle which ships with most phones without headphone jack as I've heard some have a dac built in and sound much louder ect
Suppose another question is would it even work on out phone as we already have a headphone jack will our phone evem recognise music through the usb type c adapter?
Thanks
you can get external DAC's that use the usb out to get direct digital audio, bypassing the A/D D/A conversion.
I have a pair of headphones (AKG N90Q) that have built in DAC. they can grab audio direct from the usb output.

Right just tried some gaming headphones which have a dac and I've tried them both on the note 8 and the ps4 pro remote and both sound quiet and lacking volume
But when I plug them into the tv the quadruple in volume does this mean that the note 8 and ps4 are just not as loud even tho I'm using the dac from the headphones
Thanks
Have anyone tried to use the usb port as audio output? Thinking about getting one from aliexpress (for testing). Dont like the 3.5 mm port on top as i put my phone "upside down" in my pocket.

The HTC USB-C to 3.5mm adapter absolutely works! Here's the drawback ; The operating system does not allow you to fine-tune any of the audio settings. You can change them all you want, but I think that since a DAC is in the adapter there's no software in the phone to modify it's settings.
The sound is great, but you should have some good headphones that don't need to rely on fine-tunng with an equalizer.
I purchased the USB-C headphones that come in the box for the HTC U11, but they don't work because they're designed to work in conjunction with HTC's adaptive audio software and they are powered by the phone. I haven't tried any other brand of USB-C headphones yet.
Okay thanks for the tip!
As i understand the xz1 compact has the usb audio device class 3.0 wich supports both analog and digital audio thru the usb port. Wich would be the difference between usb c to 3.5 adapters and usb c enabled headphones wich probably would contain the actual dac. The analog one should support audiotweaking tho?
I Will order two different adapters, One analog and one digital and report back here.

Anything to report?
Nope. Ordered from China so might take a while..
I've got a Dragonfly Red USB DAC incoming which I plan on using with "USB AUDIO PLAYER PRO" app. I'll be connecting via an OTG usb cable. This will give me a high end source to drive some high end IEM earphones.
Pretty sure this will work, as the DAC is designed for Android 5.0 onwards. Will report back once I have all the parts and tested.
If that helps, I just attached my USB Headset to my phone and it works perfectly, volume control, muting and everything.

Been using the above setup, and confirm its working good. The Sony audio settings (clear audio, DSEE HX, etc) do not have any effect on this DAC audio output (I wouldn't want to either, and I think these effects only alter the 2.5mm jack on the phone). I am using an app that has direct sound output to the DAC though, which bypasses the android sound resampling process. This gives you much better sound if you have a good DAC, or even one that is better than the on board sound.
