I'm interested in buying this phone and was wondering if CM10.1 properly outputs stereo sound through the front facing speakers.

currently i'm using original diamond headphones to hear some music from time to time. as u can imagine the sound quality is very very bad. i'm think of buying an adapter for 3.5mm headphones, but am wondering will normal headphones (sennheiser px100) give better quality.
basically my question is: is the sound output from diamond bad, or is it just the original headphones?
The output sound is very good.
The original headphones is trash...

try to use SRS WOW HD 121.A2DP or HTC Equalizer for the sound quality on the headphones so it's better
Had these usb powered speakers from the runt's computer here at home. Since his computer no longer works I typically use the speakers for my netbook. But decided to try them out on the tablet with my otg cable... works quite nice, good soundboost while trying to watch a movie and wash dishes... :good:
Photo of the speakers... external speakers
Great idea! Just don't crank up the volume too high. The current draw on that thing might overload the tablet's power regulator.:thumbup:

Here's an eBay link for those showing model number etc...
Altec-Lansing-BXR1220
Nice looking speakers there.
When you plug those in, does the tablet still use the external speakers to project sound or does the sound just go straight to the plugged in speakers?
Sound only comes out of the Altec speakers... it only uses the USB for power... you still have to plug in a headphone jack and that kills the Nexus internal speakers sound
Yeah, the speakers are plugged into the headphone jack. Though I suppose I could always keep my netbook in the area to use as the power source.

Hi all
i was wondering if anyone was using their nexus with a monitor/PC display?
i've got a perfectly nice 21" dell LCD sitting opposite me and i'd like to hook that up to my nexus
however, it obviously doesnt have speakers!
is it possible to use a splitter of some sort that splits the hdmi to hdmi and audio or a programme that lets me output the video from hdmi but the audio from the 3.5mm?
many thanks
I just now hooked my hdmi to my TV and hooked some ear buds to the tablet... When I hook the buds in it reroutes the audio to the buds... So it should work for you with speakers that have a 3.5mm jack

Hi guys I was not too happy with the built in dac on the note 8 and a friend recommended buying a usb c to headphone adapter as apparently have there own dac built in so I bought the htc one http://www.htc.com/uk/accessories/usb-c-digital-to-3-5mm/
And I don't know if I'm hearing things but it does sound louder with the adapter or am I just hearing it different?
My question is if it's true about these adapters having there own dac is there a better one the the htc obviously in a reasonable price range ive seen the one with the razor phone is ment to be good
And if this is the case I don't see the big fuss about looking the headphone jack if we can get great sound from the adapters lol
Thanks

Are you sure your friend didn't say that usb would use the headunit dac instead? I know that works that way, usb c to usb into my headunit for direct file play using only the headunit dac not headunit dac+ phone dac. No, I can't see any adapters your talking about having built into dac.
I can also tell you that I can't use high res in poweramp through usb or UHQ upscaler in settings with usb audio. I prob won't use it much due to those reasons, or Bluetooth for poor audio quality and no uhq upscaler either. Leaving aux for being the best for audio on this phone.

The moment you use the usb-c port to play your music, it bypasses the internal DAC. This is why ALL usb-c earbuds etc have their own DAC. I honestly doubt an adapter-DAC combo less than 10 pounds will outperform the DAC in the Note 8.
There is a major distinction between
1. How the DAC processes and shapes your music.
2. How 'powerful' it is and if it can handle high impedance headphones.
Seems to me that no. 2 is likely but definitely not no.1 with the adapter you linked.
It is well known that LOUDNESS(not volume) often comes across as BETTER quality sound.
Thanks guys I'm no audiophile I just wanted better and louder sound which the usb c headphone adapter seems (placebo maybe) do I've looked around on Amazon with a few of them claiming that they have decent dac built it
Do these dac in the adapters bypass the phone dac or something ?
Is that possible to use the type c to 3.5mm converter for 7 plus?
why?! you have 3,5 mm jack
I have a HTC Usb to 3.5mm adaptor that I used on my HTC U ultra and it works great with the Nokia 7 plus as well.
I think the audio is louder using the adaptor and better quality.

because the sound quality from the 3.5mm is so poor
I have huawei p20 headphones also with usb-c and these are better than anything else.

Want to know does it worths to buy the adaptor just for sound quality improvement?
That's a difficult question as I always find audio a very personal thing.
I have just tried my Akg K451 headphones with both the audio jack on the phone and the HTC adaptor.
The HTC 3.5 mm adaptor is significantly louder than the audio jack at full volume. I notice some distortion in the audio jack that is absent on the HTC adaptor. I think the audio from the adaptor is fuller and far more pleasing to my ear.
I have no idea how these things work, for instance does the HTC adaptor have its own DAC or is it simply a pass through device? The difference in audio level would suggest to me the presence of its own DAC so maybe that would account for the difference in audio .
Maybe it's worth buying the adaptor just to drive certain headphones better. I have a pair of status audio headphones at home that I normally use with a headphone amp to drive them I will try them on the 7 plus later to see how they sound with the audio jack and the adaptor.
Sorry I can't be more definitive.
By the way the HTC adaptor is around £10 in the UK direct from HTC.
Is the sound quality and volume really that bad or is it just some specific/batch units?
I listen to a lot of audiobooks on the go and it would be a shame if this was a dealbreaker.
No I don't find the audio particularly bad and most of the time it is loud enough.
Most of the time I use the 3.5 jack and don't have a problem but when I'm sitting listening to music and doing nothing else I prefer the audio from my HTC adapter.
The volume will depend on the impeadence of the headphones used, my AKG headphones are always much louder than my status audio ones when used in the same device.

I think it can，I used a Xiaomi's type-c headset that can be used
Quite strangely, My Mi A2's USB-C to 3.5 adapter DOES NOT WORK with my Nokia 7+
