Does anyone know if a type c splitter or adapter exists that splits the port allowing for the use of 3.5mm headphones and charging simultaneously? I've only seen an adapter by belkin for apple's lightning port. Thanks!
You need a USB-C hub with charging support. I don't know of any that have been verified to work.
Hoping for something like this as well.

The battery of LP3 is excellent so no need to charge and listen at the same time. Or get a BT headset or BT receiver if you gonna use it to your primitive car. =D

unfortunately, there are times when i need to make a call (voice or video) outside of my car and the battery is low, requiring a charge (such as on a flight). bluetooth headphones aren't always readily available (or charged), so I'd rather not be at the mercy of a single port/cable. But yes, the battery is awesome and don't have any issues with that. I just like having options in case of an "emergency." I don't want to have to choose between taking a call or charging my phone.
Any update
any update on this?
I just bought the phone and I need to use the headphone adapter as well as a midi keyboard, if that's not possible its going back - bluetooth audio is not an option, there is a delay.

How convenient! You knew that the phone has no 3.5mm port and that there is no official adapter and yet you ordered it and will return it for what?
Delay? Even a cheap BT headset does not cause any delay while listening to music or streaming video or casting to TV.

Yes I knew there was no headset and yes I will be returning it. And yes it is convenient since there is a hassle free return from Amazon. I needed a phone since mine broke so I bought the Le Pro 3, which seems to have pretty good performance but on the long run it will not help for what I need.
As far as a bluetooth headset, that is not an option since the output needs to be connected to a mixer or a DI etc and not to headphones, so if anyone knows if a usb type c hub will work, let me know... before the 30 days of the return period please! :laugh:

I thought I'd share an update for people that may need this:
I used a usb type-c to usb 3 adapter and plugged in a usb 3 hub (by Unitek). I plugged in the cheapest/smallest usb card that I had (Gigaware, bought it from Radioshack years ago) and the phone recognized it as a sound card right away (auto enabling CDLA), then I plugged in a midi keyboard on the usb hub and everything worked.

Have you tried either of those? Neither seems to have any reviews. All the ones I see on Amazon seem to have poor reviews. Surprising there isn't a good option for this kind of product yet.

I tried searching for "3.5 usb c braided" but nothing showed up as a splitter. The word "lightning" in your description sounds like an iPhone product.
I did try an item off of amazon but had to return it because only the audio worked. Ampere would show that it was connected but it would still show as discharging instead of charging. I hesitate to take a chance, even if it's only several dollars on something without a free return/shipping promise.

Except those are lighting adapters for iPhones, not ubc adapters.
Edit - The photo clearly shows a lightning adapter. In the description farther down the page it discusses using it for the iPhone, but in the "item specifics" it says USB C. Hmmmm.
Edit 2 - One of the reviews shows that it is USB C as you have said.

My issue
Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6P and want to route my audio through a USB type C converter to 3.5mm headphone Jack. I have purchased one online, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen that the Moto Z has this adapter and I assumed one I found online would be compatible with my 6P. The reason I want to do this is because I prefer for the AUX jack to come out the bottom of my phone.
What I have tired
Changed 'Select USB Configuration' to all the different options and tried playing music.
Tried 'audio routing' apps from the app store
What I would like to know
Is this because I need to change a setting in my phone to route music out of the USB C?
Do I need to get some kind of DAC to allow support for this?
Has anyone else tried this with their phone?
Thanks

One reason is that to me it makes more sense to put your phone upside down into you pocket. I've always done this at least. So when listening to music I have to put it the other way round. I have also heard the USB C port offers better sound quality.

Re:sound quality, you'd possibly see a quality increase if you use an external Digital to Analogue Converter or fully usb-c headphones. BUT, if you're using a little dongle (if it's possible), then the phone is still managing the analogue conversion and, thus, a very similar quality of audio output. Now I don't know of the 6p's ability to pipe it straight out iPhone 7 style through a dongle, but short of buying a DAC and going whole-hog on an audio upgrade, I'd just flip your phone the other way in your pocket and go the standard route.
Just my $.02
I have been looking for a solution to this too and I seem to have found one. I poked around on Amazon and I think I finally found adapters that work, here's the link https://goo.gl/QT2ith This the only one with positive reviews so when it comes in on the 30th I'll let all of you know.

Looks quite similar to the one that I got. Hopefully it works for you! Let me know how it goes
I read recently that the current implementation of audio over USB-C isn't very efficient or battery friendly. There's a new spec being ratified to provide audio like the iphone can. Hopefully that's a firmware change and not a hardware one.
http://www.theverge.com/2016/8/17/12519936/intel-usb-type-c-headphone-jack-replacement-idf-2016
I don't think it's possible on the 6P, not without using a USB DAC anyway.
As far as I'm aware, the adapter you have is for a USB 3/3.1 interface. While the 6P has USB-C it is USB 2.
I'm able to get audio out of my USB C port, but it's with a USB headset. Haven't tried it with a 3.5mm headphone adapter, but havd no reason to try it either.
This is weird. Because i have a pair of Sennheiser Urbanites (Wireless edition), and i can use bluetooth, aux, and usb (like for a computer) audio. I once tried to turn off the headsets (bluetooth off, aux and usb still works if connected), and turned off bluetooth on my phone. Then i used my USB type C to USB type A Female adapter (from the google store), and connected the usb-cable from the headsets into the type c adapter. it did output audio through the usb-cable.

Bluetooth headphones usually have their own DAC, so the audio for all but the Aux is still being sent through the DAC first, which is supported by older USB standards.
The new USB 3.1 Audio standard can pass through analogue audio from the internal DAC, which is what I believe phones such as the Moto Z utilise. Otherwise the adapter would require it's own DAC, which would make it far larger and more expensive.
Not sure if you will find a good solution at the moment since they just created a standard for audio over usb c http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160927006252/en/USB-IF-Announces-USB-Audio-Device-Class-3.0
Did the amazon converter end up working for you?
My experience so far.
Hi, I ordered some usb c to 3.5mm & out of the box so far they aren't working. I tried Neutron and tried to force the audio to usb but unsuccessfully with phone not recognizing the USB connection.
On the other hand the type C to usb-a adapter worked beautifully using mixplorer. If I get working, will update. Thanks.
Can anyone post a link to a reasonably priced USB-C to 3.5mm/Charging port adapter that works with the PH-1? Every adapter I found on eBay or Amazon states they are only for Moto phones and do not work on Pixel's or Galaxies, so I assume they will not work on the PH-1.
The one on the Google Store for the Pixel 2 works from what I hear. I'd double-check though.
I bought many cheap ones off of eBay and none worked. I finally bought the Moshi one listed on the Google store and still does not work. Anyone able to find one?

The cheap ones don't work.
You need the ones that say "built in DAC".
The Moshi adapter does have DAC. The 3.5mm audio portion of it worked. The charger port did not charge the phone. I'm looking for a dual 3.5mm/USB-C charging adapter.

My son has the Moshi adapter for his Pixel 2 and I tested it out on the Essential.
I found that it worked. You can listen and charge at the same time. I put a USB power meter on the output of the 2.1A USB-A charging brick and found it will charge with that style power source at about 1A and it doesn't matter if you're listening or not. The same power adapter directly connected without the Moshi dongle goes at about 1.5A. This is an older non-USB PD spec power brick. Don't have a USB C power meter so can't check with something like the OEM Essential power brick. In theory, the Moshi dongle supports USB-PD so you might get faster charging.
FWIW, the lack of headphone adapter bothers me and my most critical use case is the ability to charge and listen in a non-Bluetooth car. The Moshi dongle is pretty clunky for any use IMO. Ended up buying an inexpensive Bluetooth receiver for the car and it works great.

Moshi sells it directly (https://www.moshi.com/usb-c-digital-audio-adapter-with-charging.
That is where my son purchased it. Looks like they are out of stock right now. Every time I've looked at this product listed on the Google Store its always "coming soon". Have no idea if its ever been in stock there.
I tried the Apple usb-c to 3.5m headphone jack cable and it didn't work, I read online someone saying that it didn't work with the 6T either. Before I buy another cable I am trying to figure out which work and why. My car connection is with a audio cable so I need to use it for that.
Any help or expertise appreciated.

I can't use direct links, so you'll have to play with the text below.
This one worked for me:
*amazon dot com* + /gp/product/B07PF8Z6LB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought but returned this one due to having a buzzing sound and low volume:
*amazon dot com* + /gp/product/B07P5T7QTF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The first link has "DAC" while the 2nd does not seem to have that feature.
I bought the 2nd because it said it worked for the Pixel 2 and because the usb c to 3.5mm adapter that came with the Pixel 2 worked in the OP7 Pro. Unfortunately, the product in the 2nd link didn't work in either device.
I hope that helps
If you don't care about the quality of the dac...you can just get the google branded one...it's cheaper than OP new pricing and it will probably work with any phones without a headphone jack.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a headphone jack + PD adapter that would work for the OP7P? Or am I stuck with buying just a USB C to 3.5mm adapter?
Hi guys.
I noticed from today that my Ulefone Power 5S doesn't detect headphones over provided 3.5mm to type C adapter.
I have spare new adapter too,nothing,but charger type C works okay and charges phone.
What could cause such issue and is it worth to repair?
Thx.

This has happened to me before. The adapter is probably bad and unfortunately you probably need another one like from Amazon. Or, did your Ulefone come with one in the box? That's always your best bet.
I just plugged bigger headphones (over ear) and work normally.
Wtf??
Yes I use adapter which came with phone.
Type C headphones & type C to 3.5mm adapter is not working in S22 ultra. I have tried toggling of 'Diasable audio routing, in developer options but it doesn't work.

It is. Even the older adapters that Samsung included with its older tablets and phones won't work. The Apple adapter I mentioned is non-proprietary.
