Android phones and USB DACs - Page 97

Does anyone know how to overcome the 44.1Khz downsampling of Android?

Does this affect the latest Android Jelly Bean?

I want to give someone at HTC a huge wet mouth kiss for implementing USB audio drivers.  They've been making brilliant phones over the past year.  Now audiophiles can enjoy them too.

 

If only they'd make a J Butterfly with a larger & easily removable battery...

Definitely works. Although its not particularly pliable, just twist a loop into it and get some small zip ties and clip them in, then add another zip tie to flatten the loop and you have yourself a relatively low-profile cable.

or slightly modify the Android music player framework:

Basically what I did with a simple twist-tie.

 

EDIT: Just noticed your avatar. Ouch. As a doctor I recognise cotton buds as the root of many evils where the ear is concerned.

:p

 

Very happy aboutt his development too, since it was starting to look like I would be locked into Samsung handsets for that feature. Also the Butterfly has a micro SD slot, unlike their 2012 high-end phones, which is hopefully a sign of their broader intentions in 2013 (and another thing it was starting to look like only Samsung would give me). Choice is good :)

Perchance to dream... although his caveat of "[p]roviding you can get hold of a kernel with the USB audio drivers compiled in" doesn't sound super promising. (Unless there's something I'm missing, which is entirely possible. Hell, probable even.)

 

EDIT: Okay, actually did more reading than skimming this time (redface.gif) and I think I get what's awesome about this: it would allow the use of an external USB DAC w/ CM 10.1? If that's the case, then YES, I will be VERY happy!!! 

 

Can't wait until somebody finally gets full support for all USB DACs up and running on the S3... And everything else, while I'm dreaming ;)

Hahah,  I'm downloading Ubuntu right now to try and learn how to kernel hack so I can add USB drivers!

I'm pretty sure it's not just as easy as that.  But it can't hurt to learn a bit about the process.

Ktoonsez on XDA still says he's going to try and look into it soon.  He's a kernel dev.

Regarding the interworking with standard USB DAC compatible with PC / Mac / Android device, there is no difference between a stock Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and a stock Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.

 

The Sony Xperia S using the USB Audio Recorder PRO app can interwork with standard USB DAC.

Hey guys, I got a bit of a problem, This otg cable came in today http://www.ebay.com/itm/251211470827?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 , and I plugged my fiio e07k into my galaxy s3, and it worked instantly. Music played out the fiio,. I remove the fiio and use my phone like normal.. just right now in bed, I decide to plug the fiio in to listen before I got to bed.. as I plug in the cable, the phone shuts off!!! I can't get it back on, pulled the battery, removed the micro usb cable, tried the charger cable, nothing! Any ideas? Im bumming out right now, as I rely on the phone for contacts.
