my fellow Android users and potentially
iPhone users let's talk about what is
wrong with us BC so we got a problem
here
all the phones you see on this table are
all USB see LG Sony Huawei Google
everybody all of these USB see cuz the
world and us PC is gonna be awesome you
just plug it in is gonna work but check
this out this is my own pixel to excel
if I take my headphones with this dongle
that came with the Sony and plug it in
happen but my pixel 2 tells me analog
audio accessory some detectives ain't
gonna work if I view the same thing with
a razor razor phone beautiful phone USB
C plug in my Sony dongle with my
headphone it doesn't work why I don't
know but what if I take this Huawei P 20
Pro plug-in dongle from Sony analog
headphones into my wall way works
perfectly and it tells you by the way
you're running type C analog headphones
perfect so what's the deal here Gordon
the problem is analog dongle only works
with some phones digital dongles usually
work with all the phones but you can't
tell the difference let's plug in the
headphones that come with an HTC u11
into this one the LG oh wait what why
isn't it working because this is analog
and the LG gives you an analogue
headphone port perfect not a problem now
this is a digital one let's see what
happens we plug in it
there we go kicks over audio goes
through my Google $9 USB dongle into my
headphones we're good to go
let's do um Sony dongle no less you
switch it out cuz you know what I threw
away my Sony dongle I got one for my
cousin this is a Lenovo dongle came with
a z2 force not a problem we're gonna
plug it in to the pixel again Google
pixel so it's not working the wall way
one will work it should work everywhere
and uh try it into the g7 digital should
work works perfectly tells you it
actually turns on the USB power supply
does it actually it has to supply power
to the DAC that's in these headphones
these are the ones that come with a p20
the Huawei p20 okay that works it should
work that way that's why it's supposed
to work what I've seen is when you plug
in a lot of these digital base what we
really have is digital based dongles
digital base headsets when you plug them
into phones that actually have analog
ports if you plug this into a samsung
galaxy you have to enable USB power for
it to work otherwise it's not gonna work
but you know the good news is you just
plug it into the headphone port because
they include headphone ports when it's
really broken down is this we get we get
a group of phones these phones this is
the OS 20 pro here's a Sony and this is
I've mixed them up the other two here's
HTC they work fine as expected for the
most part so these work this works as
you would with everything these all work
as you would the pixel 2 and the razor
phone only work with digital Dax
basically the one that you get from
Google for $12 now it used to be $9 or
not that one or the one that Razer gives
you is this beautiful look at that that
some dongle this is a dongle with a DAC
very nice very high-end it's the only
way to get audio out of these if you
have analog it's not gonna work what is
really gonna confuse the hell out of
people is why these phones
fine with analog over USB see the reason
is these filmmakers basically went
outside the spec they also send audio
over analog to your audio device because
they know it really sucks to be on a
plane plugging in your headphone getting
no audio because you only have a analog
dongle so how do you tell the difference
between analog and digital dongles we'll
see that's the problem so now I'm gonna
do this you get on you know cuz it's
what's gonna happen you're gonna have a
drawer full of USB C headphones and
dongles and you're gonna just grab it
and you're gonna plug it into your pixel
2xl pixel for excel and it's not gonna
work and you're gonna wonder why
sometimes they tell you that there's
analog sometimes they don't
none of us throw away your headphones
none of us throw our dongles so you
could really see this confusing the hell
out of people and that's for people who
are into phones your grandparents or and
or your uncle they don't understand they
just don't know like why is this not
working I got this dongle with z2 force
why isn't working because this is an
analog dongle but check this out can you
tell the difference between these
dongles no they look exactly the same
one is digital one is analog well why is
interesting because they give you USB
see digital headphones and then they
give you a white analog dongle which is
fine for them because FC Huawei works
with both analog and digital USB see not
a problem but plug that Huawei analog
dongle into your phone and it's just not
gonna work and then if it's the phone
where they don't even turn on they don't
give you a notification that you need to
enable USB power it won't work at all
even though it will work if you go in
and enable USB power support and mind
you you do this every time you plug that
device in lame so what can they do to
fix it well what they can do to fix it
is put the 3.5 millimeter jack back in
this I don't honestly think it can be
fixed and their USB see no one's gonna
follow it some people Google's official
answer is we don't do analog over USB
see cuz it's not part of the spec
these people are technically outside the
spec but they understand it sucks not
having audio I won't expect him to fix
it but it's not that hard to just put a
3.5 millimeter jack on every single
phone we know it doesn't cost anything
there's a universal standard that works
with all analog audio is called 3.5
millimeter audio it works fine let's
just do it
Android phone makers just put it back in
it's annoying the hell out of them
you've got people going why is the audio
working I plug my dongle in for my
Lenovo or my what's the for into my
phone it doesn't work how come it's not
working that's a support call you gotta
pay for it just just do it just put the
3.5 millimeter jack back in the damn
phone
