I doubt the E17 works with the Note 2, it didn't work with the Int S3 without molding the S3 (the mod, if it ever existed was never released as far as I'm aware).

Can confirm that the E7 works with Note 2, also Headamp Pico only works via a powered hub (same behaviour as the Int S3, part of why I doubt the E17 will work with the Note 2). Various others confirmed working too, I'm sure DanBa will post an updated list here at some stage.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eitama:
Can someone explain the benefits of using a USB audio dac with the note 2 when its already got such an excellent audio output?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZtechfreak:
It has good output, for a phone, which is not quite the same thing as excellent audio output. Users with sensitive IEMs still hear hiss from the Note 2 output, and that can be eliminated by moving audio handling off-device. Users who have harder to drive headphones on the other hand will be unable to drive them from the Note 2, which still has a fairly quiet headphone out, and using a DAC/amp combo alleviates that. Although the Note is a good sounding phone, the DAC implementation is necessarily still full of compromises because it has to exist in a device where there are numerous other chips and radios running and where the power supply isn't devoted solely to it either. Most people won't hear enough of a difference to be bothered with it, but those of us who are tend to be using very high quality headphones and we consider it worth it.

(it also means that for a one-off investment you can ignore whatever DAC and implementation thereof a manufacturer has seen fit to churn out in a new device, providing a device has USB audio, which may have ramifications down the line the next time you come to choosing a phone)

(for most people it also means being able to have much higher quality from their laptop and/or desktop for the same one-off investment)

I am running Wanamlite ROM and Note2Core kernel, so I'm not sure if either of those make the Note2 compatible, but if you were interested in the app and were put off by the message saying the Note 2 isn't supported, it would be worthwhile downloading the trial anyway to test with your setup.

Well the Zoom H4 is more than just a DAC.

I tested recording via the inbuilt mics and also the 1/4" audio jacks and recording a live monitoring via the H4 headphone jack all work great.

Bottom line, if you already own a DAC and it's not natively supported by the Note 2, you may as well download the app and give it a shot.

If you don't already own a DAC, then you're better off making sure that the one you buy is natively supported and you don't need a 3rd party app to use it.

Can your Note2 playback 24/96 hi-res tracks thru the Zoom H4 using USB Audio Recorder PRO?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richlum:
Doesn't seem like it.

I don't use/have any, so I downloaded this track

http://www.lindberg.no/hires/test/2L-064_stereo96kHz_01_08.flac

It plays it, but its really slow.

It sounds about half speed. The H4 only can connect at 44.1 or 48khz, so that might be why.

I tried recording at 44.1 and 48khz stereo and mono wav files and it plays back fine for those.

I wouldn't use the H4 just to listen to music, it's pretty big and probably isn't very high spec in terms of playback and headphone amp. It's main attraction is all of the inputs for recording - which means it's actually pretty small for a unit that does all of that :)

USB audio at the Android Linux kernel space, USB audio at the Android Linux user space

A USB audio source code:

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

https://github.com/sgs3/GT-I9300_Kernel/blob/master/sound/usb/card.c#L2

https://github.com/sgs3/GT-I9300_Kernel/tree/master/sound/usb

USB audio & Android

USB standard (audio, mass storage, etc.) driver supported on stock Galaxy S3 / Note2

"As long as the kernel on the Android device supported the USB standard driver of the hardware (mass storage, input, etc.), Android would be able to use it and therefore open up a new range of extra devices compatible with the system."

USB standard (audio, mass storage, etc.) driver not supported:

* Developing your USB standard (audio, etc.) driver at the kernel space

"However, there are many devices that have not been "compatible" from the beginning. For instance, let's say your common RFID reader. It most likely uses a USB-serial port and probably comes with a Linux or Windows driver as well as some software. Most Android tablets will come without the USB-serial driver for your RFID reader however.

Therefore, if you want to load your driver you will need to root your tablet, determine the version of your current kernel, find the kernel sources online, hope that everything compiles to have your driver ready and then load it onto your tablet. In the end, when you finally have your kernel driver running, you will be required to write C code as well as some JNI glue to communicate with your Activity or Service in Android.

All in all, this approach is not very straightforward.

* Writing your own USB "soft driver" at the user space

There is a very elegant solution to aforementioned problem.

It requires far less skills in hacking and porting than the mentioned approach. However, you will require some advanced knowledge in Android programming as well as some USB know-how.

You can write your own "soft driver" in Android. Since the USB Host API has been released, it is now possible to communicate with any USB device using the most commonly seen USB transfers (control, interrupt, bulk).

In the end, your result will be portable across all Android devices that have USB host enabled and have Android version 3.1+. Moreover, this solution does NOT require root access to the tablet or phone. It is currently the only viable solution that does not require the user to have any know-how of rooting/hacking the device and risk losing warranty in the process."

New question - Samsung Note II and Fiio E07K problem

Note II GT-N7100 - Android 4.1.2 stock - Kernel 3.0.31 - Fiio E07K - standard OTG cable

When I connect the Fiio to the phone, I get a 'Lock' appearing on Fiio (according to Fiio, it means OK) and the phone says, 'USB connected' and the sound from speakers get muted.

So far so good, BUT!

When I play something, there is no sound from Fiio, and peculiarly , what is being played (music or video) is on fast forward! a 3 minute song finishes in a few seconds.

Of course if I use the Fiio as an amp, I have no problems.

If I connect a USB stick, the phone reads it fine, indicating the OTG cable is good.

Any ideas?

What I can say is that it worked well for me when I had it running with perseus Kernel... I don't have the phone anymore though. I use to use it with Spotify though. Try other players to see if that's the issue. I find a lot off people with that problem.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentajalli:
I shall of course try it with another cable for sure.

BTW I did try it with different players, they all go into fast mode, perhaps that's why there is no sound!

The phone must be detecting something, in order for its sound to get muted, and the players to act strangely, but what? I don't know.

Fiio are difficult to contact.

Could it be your location?

If you are getting 4-5 bars "almost everywhere in my area except where I live," then it might be logical to assume that you are in a "dead zone." Radio signals go in a straight line. I live in a hilly area. When I drop into a valley driving home, I lose my call signal. It returns as soon as I get to the top of the hill. Similarly, I get a very poor signal at my work location (1st floor interior office), but I can step outside (100 feet away) and get a good signal.
