That can't be why!That is bizarre. I wonder if the USB-C standard even allows it. They cut cost by leaving out some wires.
Maybe cuts down on jitter etc interference, cleaner signal if you're only doing USB Audio out, no return mic signal?

Really? What about USB DACs like Schiit HEL that support the two-way microphone comms required for phone headsets?It sounds like it's a usb2 otg cable with type c connectors. Otg cables has always been one directional.

OTG cable is the result of smartphone that doesn't quite have the full USB driver that a full OS will have. So an OTG cable is internally wired slightly different in order to trigger the host device into host mode.
Sorry, I don't follow.
Are you saying that
Schiit HEL's microphone integration (USB DAC mode only) cannot be made to work with Android?
Or that it will work with some newer Android phones that do not require OTG but can work with normal USB cables?
Or that OTG can be two-way?
What I meant was, between the two HEL input modes, analog line in, and USB DAC, the microphone input is only enabled with the latter. Schiit failed to include a pass-through function for say a TRRS plug, their mic preamp/ADC functionality get disabled completely when you switch to analog input.HEL's microphone does not rely on its USB DAC but on its ADC
Absolutely. Such as connecting on OTG to an external storage device.Or that OTG can be two-way?
USB (whether OTG or not) requires a two-way protocol between master and slave. Of course while streaming audio, the data will be moving primarily in one direction, but on USB you cannot simply push data out like SPDIF.Otg cables has always been one directional.
