Blackout_vh Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Apple type c to 3.5mm dongle defaults to -15db volume cut when using on an android device. Please add a hardware level volume control to fix this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Yes, Apple's USB-C > 3.5mm DAC dongle is not properly compatible with Android devices . The roughly -25dB gain applied appears to be by design. I tried one a while ago and sent it straight back for a refund and got something far better for a lower price, see the discussions in this thread. The only way around this is to bypass all the normal Android audio processing paths completely and write specific code to drive the hardware directly, for which there is already a Feature Request (mainly for the No Resampling feature which that mode would support) which you can upvote here if you wish: Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout_vh Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 @andrewilley Yes, but I believe it should be possible because "USB audio player pro" has a hardware volume control feature which fixes the issue with Apple DAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The UAPP devs have written their own code to drive USB DACs directly at the hardware level, which is the only way to do it. It's also a LOT of work if you are only doing it for one non-compatible dongle. There are better far USB DACs around anyway. Have you also contacted Apple and asked them to fix their DAC so it works properly on non-Apple devices? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
