This adapter is breaking audio on my Mix 2. Anyone else tried one and had the same issue?
It breaks audio and then videos stutter/play extremely slow.

I'm not totally sure if this might be the cause but the Mix 2 has an actual USB-C DAC I believe...and maybe that's conflicting with the Pixel 2 dongle's built-in one? The Mix 2 and the Pixel 2 have different setups for audio and the Pixel 2 requires a DAC or headphone amp or whatever in the accessory itself whereas the Mi Mix 2 has this hardware built in to the phone...so lots of headsets/accessories which work with the Mix 2 for audio won't work with the Pixel 2 (and vice versa perhaps?) But yeah maybe the Mix 2's hardware is not playing nice with the DAC in Google's dongle...not sure though...this is just a conjecture.

That is what I thought too. I have an Vernee Apollo Lite that doesn't have a DAC for the USB-C and that works fine (it actually sounds better than through the 3.5mm jack on the Vernee). I am really surprised Google decided on no in-built DAC.
I got the Google adapter and it works with mix 2 no problem.
I can confirm the Official Google adapter works. I tried the one that came with my boss' Pixel 2 XL so I know it was genuine. Worked with viper4android on both Epic global based ROM and XenonHD ROM. The hardware definitely works, seemingly without issue. What I don't know is if the adapter was just passing the audio through or using the dac in the dongle.

Hi all,
Does anyone know whether the USB-C to 3.5mm adapter from the Pixel 2 will work ok on the Le Pro 3? The Pixel 2 dongle is digital which has a DAC built-in.
Thanks!
I finally had a chance to test a Pixel 2 adapter with my Le Pro 3. It does work very well. The rewind, fast-forword and Play/pause buttons also work perfectly on my Bose headphones.
Yeah, unfortunately the other way around does not work the leeco dongle is much more secure.
Curious if anyone else has procured the new Pixel USB-C earbuds and tried them on a OP6 and/or OP5/5T. They are suppose to work on ANY PHONE running Android P....I am running the Android P Beta 5 on my OP6 and the phone doesn't seem to recognize that the headphone are plugged in AT ALL.... nada, nothing.

Someone on the OP forum just hipped me to turn on OTG setting....and now they work like a charm....though maybe I'll have to reactive this setting each time as it supposedly turns off after 10 minutes which will be a pain.
And pleasantly surprised to find out the BASS kicks on these things...as all the other reviews I have seen out there say they lacked such.
You need to activate OTG in the settings get them working.
Hey,
I also got these buds for my OP6. They work fine and I also enabled always on for the OTG option. But the music control (pause, start, skip, google assistant) are not working at all.
Volume UP and DOWN are working fine.
Any suggestions?

Nope. But when I activated OTG for the 1st time it did step me through a set up menu for the headphone. And again I am on Beta 5.
Maybe because the op6 have usb 2 and pixel have 3.1?

Naw. It is suppose to work on all phones with USB C and Android P regardless of port version. Hopefully OP will get rid of the need to activate the OTG setting since the OP6T won't even have a headphone jack.

Theory:
The OP6T gets Usb-C headphones and maybe the handling of Usb-C headphones is already shipped to user within the beta versions.
I can't imagine OP lets its users always reenable the otg option when they remove the headphone jack and develop their own usb-c headphones.
I can#t verify this at the moment maybe someone else can?
So today I tried the OP6T USB-C adapter on my OP6 and nothing. Wasn't even detected. I didn't try turning on OTG but come on, I can't believe this isn't supported with Android 9 out of the box. Of course it works on the OP6T fine.

You will have to turn on the OTG until they update the firmware.
Hi guys, I'm on op6 with oxygen 9.0.2 and I would like to use USB c port because jack output is not that good at quality, in my opinion. I tried with enabling otg in the notification bar, but I really can't make my USB c headphones work! Is there anything else I have to do? Thanks

I assume out mean the OTG Storage setting under "System" menu ? That should do the trick.

Yeah right that. But that didn't do the trick...headphones still not detected I'm using Sony Wh-Ch700n with USB c adapter. They work fine on mi Mix 2 (and there audio quality looks far better to me) than on OP6 using 3,5mm jack. That's why I would like to try USB c port...

Hmmm. I never tried an adapter on my OP6. Just the Pixel Buds. My daughter has my old OP6 now...otherwise I would try the adapter I just got for a friend as it works on my OP6T. I do know some adapters only work on certain phones. This is the adapter I bought (it list OnePlus)

Thank you, please let me know if you can make it work in USB C. I'm really curious., If it is going to work, I will definitely buy a better adapter.
I bought a Pixel USB C to 3.5mm adapter to use my Bose earphones and noticed that the volume is really low even at max setting. I've been using this earphone on my Note 8 & iPhone X (using the Apple 3.5mm adapter} without any issues. I tried 2 other wired earphones with the same low volume issue. Any solution on this.

I guess it's likely a conflict with the audio chip in cable, maybe Essential could add compatibility in a future update???
is this all apps? And phone?
Random have you trieds...
Clear cache/data in the system app MusicFX (probably also some other audio related app you could do same with.
If music only does your player have an alt decoder and/or a reset decoder button like in Blackplayer or an alt equaliser?
or maybe even disable usb audio routing (in developer options)
I was just about to buy one also, so thanks for posting, hope you find a solution.

I think I've seen others share the same issue with the Pixel adapter too. It's just not a good adapter, from what I've read. The market is a total mess too. Not many options to begin with, only adapters with a built-in DAC will work, and there's little info to determine what to expect from what you buy. I guess an ideal adapter might be one that also includes an amp.
Hi,
Let's start a USB C earphone support thread. So far I've tried the following, without full support:
- Razer Hammerhead, Music Yes, Microphone in Recorder Yes, Calls No
- OnePlus Bullets, Music Yes, Recorder Yes, Calls No
I'm starting to think all USB C headphones are going to be like this on the Note 9... Surprised they haven't updated the source to support these kinds of headphones ahead of the Note 10 and it's lack of 3.5mm port.
Same problem
Same problem here. No solution so far. Going to take these things back.

I'm thinking they don't see a reason to have usb c headphone fully supported on the Note 9 because it actually has a 3.5mm port? We all know Samsung is the last to adopt certain things. It would be nice if they did support it though because the range of possibilities would be more for listening to music. Headphone Jack busted...not a problem, use usb c port etc.
Xiaomi ANC HiRes audio type C earphones, not working at all
I've tried Google's for pixel 3 earphones. Music and control (including mic on recorder) yes, phone calls no. But I must say: the sound through these earphones surpasses anything I've tried on my note 9. Even without phone call function the quality of music coming out of these earphones is worth it!
HTC U-Sonic USB-C earbuds are a no-go all the way around on both the Note 9 & Note FE.
The Developer Options on the Note FE even has an audio source option in the USB Configuration section & still nothing.
IIRC, the HTC USB-C buds were one of the earliest models available & may have been proprietary to HTC phones.
I have got them to work on a few non-HTC phones along the way, but, Samsung isn't one of 'em (OnePlus/BlackShark/RazerPhone come to mind,IIRC).
Sent from my Note Fan Edition using XDA Labs
I wouldn't be surprised if the Note 9, 8 and FE don't support the use of USB Type-C headsets for calling.
I use a Lenovo USB-C hub that I plug my Astro Mixamp into and listen to music.
I can't get phone calls to work tho.
i tried plugging note 10 C headphone to my note 9 so it is just able to hear music but can not answer the call. However, the C headphone did on my S10e.
OnePlus Type-C Bullets work!
Hey everybody! I just came on to search whether or not my type C bullets from my OnePlus 6t would work on the Note 9 I just got. Before plugging them in, I went into developer options and unchecked "Disable USB audio routing". Plugged them in and the sound incredible! The in-line volume, play and pise functions on the Bullets work as well. However, attempted to make a phone call and it just stayed defaulted to the phones earpiece with the Bluetooth or speaker phone option. Anyway, just thought I'd share my experience a few moments ago lol. Yes it would be great if we could get these to work with a simple phone call. Hate to just put these Bullets in a drawer to collect dust until the day they are supported by a phone I own lol.

Yes, they do work for listenning, with volume and pause/resume buttons. They don't work for call though.
Something changed in Android 10? On apk mirror is samsung usbc headset app/driver but its not working :/

Hi, I tried what you recommended. I couldn't find developer options except under accessibility. It didn't have remove audio routing. I have a note 9

Correct. I also tried on a Corsair G935 and audio works but phone calls do it. Tried it on my Note 10 and if works just fine for calls.
Thinking this might be a hardware and not a software issue.

Okay so i know this thread was started a while back, I just wanna say for any new Googler's that the Note 9 cannot support calls because it has the 3.5mm ear jack which handles all the analogue sounds means phone calls, "Hey Google" and similar cannot be passed through the Type C headsets/headphones. Its hardware so no apps can help with that.
Hi. I'm waiting for my pixel 4a to be delivered and I'm looking at new headphones, but I can't figure out if the pixel 4a supports analog sound through the USB port? Yes, I have googled, I can't seem to find any info. Thanks.

Don't know.
What I know is that Pixel 4a is one of the few devices that still has headphone jack input.

I wouldn't use USB headphones. They cause the port to prematurely wear out when it jostles around in your pocket. Use the headphone jack and be glad you have it.
Good point about wearing the port out. And I'm aware of (and prefer, the 3.5mm jack) but I can't wear in-ear plugs, don't want large over-ear (I bike a lot) and don't want anything that can run out of batteries, so I'm limited in what I can buy. Just wanted to see what options I have.
