Phone with no headphone jack

Post by TTLover »

I've just received my A Box and would like to play audio files on my mobile phone. Unfortunately my phone has no headphone jack, only a USB-C socket.
I have an adapter which works with earphones but doesn't seem to send any signal to the A Box.
Anyone managed to get this type of setup to work?

It should work, do you get sounds from earphones? maybe the level is too low.

Another option would be a Bluetooth audio adapter and play the tracks back via bluetooth.

It works fine with earphones but nothing to the A Box even at full volume.
I'm using a different phone for now so no worries.
Thanks

some phones try to detect what is on the other end, and fail with simple devices like the ABox.

Hi,
try a 3,5mm Y-Adapter.
Input = USB-Adapter
Out1 = Headphone
Out2 = Input 2B
