Dear santa, I've been a very good boy, please let me have this one

So, I've had my s7 for a few days now, and I can't seem to get the USB audio out to work with my FIIO E18. Has anyone else had issues with getting USB audio to work? I thought maybe my E18 was dieing, and that's not the case as it works fine everywhere else and on my old phone.

Whenever I play something through the E18 from the S7 USB, you can hear sound, but its like garbled and low. Any Ideas are appreciated.

I just got my fiio e18 for Christmas and I have the s7 edge and ive noticed when I use the dac part of it there is a annoying clicking sound that destroys the audio quality have you figured out any solutions

Not used a Fiio but wirjs no problem with Chors Mojo, DragonFly Red and Oppo HA-2

I got a new S7 Edge last week after having scored a pair of B&W P7s on an earlier Black Friday indulgence on markdown with an additional 15% off.  The S7 has considerable optional settings for audio output, including a separate applet to optimize for your choice of cans and your hearing.  In combination without an external amp and or DAC utilizing lossless files this sounds exceptionally spacious, clear and smooth.  Easily the best simple portable combination I have ever heard.

Gets better with Poweramp beta because of the 100 step volume control.

I manually changed my mixer_gains settings to the following:

<ctl name="HPOUT1L Impedance Volume" value="105" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1R Impedance Volume" value="105" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume" value="55" />
<ctl name="HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume" value="55" />
 
I am getting a lot of distortion and background hiss, however.

​I have the Exynos version so not sure if the settings will be the same for the SD version, I  have the impedance settings set at 123 and there is absolutely no distortion at all. Also the maximum value for the HPOUT input is 48 so you may want to try that setting first just in case setting it to 55 is causing an issue.

Thanks! Any idea about ideal poweramp av3 settings? Im still getting dist.

  Help Please!... 
 
    I was recently issued a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F or Samsung Galaxy SM-G930FD from my workplace, and know virtually nothing about how to access digital audio output from this telephone, so as to listen to streaming audio. I AM aware that I can download "Pandora" to this phone...however, I desire to output the feed digitally to my outboard D/A converter... a Schiit Audio Modi...to a Schiit Audio Magni.  (I am about to lose my lap-top with which I was able to stream audio OR play CD's, the lap-top to be replaced by a tablet!...
 
    I  note that this phone does possess a micro-USB port on the bottom edge, but really don't know whether it can/does output a digital signal...
 
I plead abject ignorance regarding modern cellphones...and would very much appreciate anyone either pointing me in the correct direction regarding attempting to access a digital output on this phone, or specifying how it is done...
 
  Thank you in advance,
 
TAK

Yes, you need to buy a USB OTG cable, that will set you on the right path

My own S7E met an untimely illness today...



To replace the screen i have been quoted £280

So, i did what any self respecting head-fier would do, and bought another one, this time in coral blue... not fully with the colour yet but am sure it will grow on me.

Strangely, or maybe not so, new handset on android 6 is slower in benchmarks than the now broken one on 7

  Thank you sir!...    ...

Hello guys,
yesterday i've recevied the official Nougat firmware update on my S7 EDGE.
Apart fro the other improvements, i noticed a really really nice improvement in audio volume and quality.
Now it is a world better in driving all my phones!
Anyone has noticed that?
I can guarantee that is not a placebo effect..

 

[Francisk]

Are you on S7 Edge Snapdragon or Exynos?

 

[afico]

Exynos.. That has IMHO already a good sounding dac..
