This so so funny. the first day I got my 6 Pro (Nov 1st) I was using my sonata DAC and everytime I touched the screen there was a weird interference. It was so odd. I did a factory reset! and a ton of other things. but then turned off all the sound and haptic options, and voila it was fine. I thought - okay this is surely just an issue with this one specific DAC - then I tried the FiiO and a few others and same thing. I was going to return/exchange the device but I don't use those sound specific sound/touch settings really so it never bothered me.

It is disconcerting that there are some issues with LDAC/960kbps, USB-DAC etc. Even on a $300 phone I would be concerned... but at $1300 it's unacceptable. - my 3XL works fine - no issues with LDAC or USB-DAC. and its now almost January - 3 months since release.

People shouldn't really have to deal with issues like this. I'm lucky that I can troubleshoot and flash different builds etc, and compromise. no one should have to though. I like this phone, and don't have any of the other issues people complain about (battery/fp/mobile network). What are our options? Okay, I hit the "star" on the issuetracker, sent a few feedback requests - but it just seems no one is listening. If I had a twitter account with a few thousand followers, I guess it would help? - sad that it's the only way to make your voice heard, but nothing has really changed. twitter is the new megaphone (where the newspaper was before that).

Can someone with the DAC issues test this for me?

Would appreciate feedback if it works with this build r42
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
just to add further to this, I am using a hidizs sonata. playing back audio normally works fine. as soon as I try to playback anything usb direct like with neutron player, it craps out. I am exchanging emails with the device trying to get to the bottom of it. I just sent him some log files so we'll see what he comes back with.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
January Update did not fix the issue.

Nice to see you here eng.stk and your effort to fix this problem. Unfortunately I quit with my work on audio ports and did not root my phone since years. So I can not test.

But maybe I need to reconsider my decision, when I see all those bugs in the stock ROM and kernel.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EndlessBliss:
Just tried your latest build, r45, which I'm assuming has the same "fix," Unfortunately, there was no change. Still get random sputters and screeches, but most importantly, direct access in an app like Tidal didn't work. I did notice all audio would occasionally get resampled to 88.2 kHz instead of 48 kHz
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eng.stk:
No, you need to test r42 please.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
yeah Jan update, same problem. hidizs sonata direct still not working.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EndlessBliss:
Will r42 be compatible with Google's January update? I'm already on it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] eng.stk:
idk, have your img backups ready if you need to restore.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] EndlessBliss:
Same behaviour above on r42
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jigz23:
Anyone have luck with getting the Helm Audio Bolt to play nice with Tidal MQA on the pixel 6 pro? The Tidal app is recognizing my Helm, but after I say yes and press play, the play button just goes round and round and doesn't ever play anything.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Matterhorn:
I haven't tried my external DAC on the P6P but LDAC at 990kbps works fine. I do need to go into developer options and select it manually. In auto mode it as never selected 990 on any of my Pixels.

Edit: ok, I take it back. I experienced stuttering today on both Spotify and Amazon HD streaming on LDAC 990kbps. It doesn't happen right after a phone restart but it doesn't take long for the problem to surface.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
Google's working on a fix for the Pixel 6's external DAC issues, but don't expect it anytime soon

You better hope 2022 flies by

www.androidpolice.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
It's really funny reading the comments on tech news sites. most commenting how usb-dac/LDAC 990 is so rarely used that it doesn't matter that it won't work properly.

Anyway, I am really disappointed in the Pixels. But we only have 2 other choices - Samsung and Oneplus. I'm not sure what to think anymore. I mean many of us on xda who purchased 6/6 Pro, knew there would be bugs. That's fine. but when a basic feature doesn't work at all? I am lucky because I didn't experience any of the issues that others have had - except this one (and some battery drain on 5G).

If it gets fixed at the end of summer - it'll be almost a year since the 6 series was released. They need to do better. Much better.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andriy2011:
I've tried THX Onyx DAC with pixel 4 running Android 12 - same issue as with P6Pro - so most likely the issue is Android 12 related
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
I have 2 Pixel 3XL's, a Pixel 4 XL and a 6Pro - all running A12. These issues only appear on the 6Pro (for myself and many, many others). I mean for Google to come out and provide an official statement must mean something - they didn't do that for any other Pixels. Not saying your phone isn't having the issue - but it looks like its a deeper problem than just a "bug" on the 6/6Pro and not widespread on the other models.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] niteowl360:
My issues started when LG Wing updated to Android 11.

Since then my external DAC no longer plays when using UAPP, Neutron Hiby etc Worked perfectly on Android 10
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] niteowl360:
Thank you.

May I ask which Android version.

I'm on Android 11 with no sound whereas Android 10 everything worked perfectly with my external DAC and UAPP
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] niteowl360:
My external DAC on the LG Wing with Android 10 worked perfectly.

Since Android 11 update everything stopped working.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
Although Google has mentioned releasing an update to fix this issue this Summer, I'm kinda hoping that they resolve the video output issue as well... On my previous phones with USB-C ports, a USB-C to HDMI cable worked fine at showing my phone's display image on whatever I connected the HDMI end of the cable to. But with this phone it is, unfortunately, not possible to physically cast your display to a television or monitor over a display cable.

I have two Chromecasts, but I tend to prefer wired connections so that I don't lose any video quality when I'm trying to cast higher resolution videos =/
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RichBordoni:
The phone specifically needs to support video out over USB-C. I'm pretty sure that is at the hardware level determined by what spec of USB-C port the OEM decides to use. I don't think it can just be "turned on" for all USB-C ports in software.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
any news on this since March update?

how long does it usually take to go from beta release to main release?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
The referenced QPR beta is for the June feature drop. That doesn't mean the fix won't be in next month's Stable kernel. Could be, could be not.

Or you could use a custom kernel today that already has that fix.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SCFirefighter:
Yes! Thank you for posting this.

Google Pixel 6 gets 'Direct USB Access' w/ upcoming June update, improves DAC support

An upcoming update for Google's Pixel 6 series will deliver better USB DAC support through "Direct USB Access." Here's what that means.

9to5google.com
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Matterhorn:
I loaded QPR3 Beta 1.1 in hopes of getting USB sound to work properly with my Shure Aonic 50 headphones through USB, it has it's own DAC. I can get sound through USB but it won't access full Ultra HD sound that is available with Amazon Music. A track that plays at 24-bit 192KHz with my Pixel 3 only plays at 24-bit 96KHz with my P6P. Also there is popping sounds on the track. It sounds kind of like a dirty vinyl record. The Pixel 3 doesn't have these pops. When I switch to BT the pops go away. Of course sound with BT LDAC at 990 still skips. Frustrating!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Eriol:
I have a TempoTec Sonata HD Pro DAC (with CS43131) which works fine with my P6P since February update (i.e. when I got my P6P, so I do not know if it worked with previous versions ...).

I have also tried out some USB C to 3.5 dongles (from Essential, Xiaomi, etc.) and all of them worked.

I am aware that this may not be relevant for the more audiophile users here - I have read that some here are more concerned about LDAC at 990kbps ... When travelling I am fine with aptX HD or even SBC, and @ 127.0.0.1 I prefer cable bound audio transfer where my CS43131 DAC is sufficient. Just wanted to confirm it works.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] SCFirefighter:
What's the reason we need third party audio apps for high bitrate external DAC support?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] zyhk:
In my opinion, the reason is for avoiding resampling distortion and reducing distortion caused by heavy jitter of battery optimizations. Higher data rate can be used for reducing jitter of PLL in a DAC. Try audio-misc-settings (resampling at a mastering quality and no jitter from an effect chain) and USB_SampleRate_Changer (You can use 384kHz & 32bit mode of the Android OS mixer for usual music streaming apps. A root script "extras/jitter-reucer.sh" in it can be used for reducing many jitters).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
I've tested it with latest QPR3 beta and it's working. Finally!!!!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
awesome! did you try it with stable april update before the new beta? seems like the ldac problem was fixed in stable april and latest beta. may be same for external dac problem?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Best report this to Google via Pixel feedback, or else this "faulty" DAC fix will make the public release and people that want to use DACs will be none the wiser.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
have you tried the april beta?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Matterhorn:
Yes, I'm on the beta that was released 2 days ago. LDAC is fine at 990. The pops are still there when using USBc to headphones directly. Again my Pixel 3 plays at 192/24 but my P6p only manages 96/24 on the same track. I have a feeling it's not staying digital all the way to the headphones.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nemuritor01:
Yes, I've switched today to the beta and was on stable before. Passthrough doesn't work on stable. It also did not work on the previous beta. Just latest beta from few days ago seems to have implemented the new aoc.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
new april beta. can confirm neutron player now plays correctly with usb direct with my hidizs sonata. hurrah!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I think this is for this issue: Google has marked this as "fixed".

to anyone that has got the may update, has the dac fix from April's beta been implemented in the main release now?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tonyfiore75:
I'm wondering the same exact thing.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Freak07:
No unfortunately not.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
I'm not rooted and have may update neutron player still doesn't do high res audio I think if your on beta it's been fixed but if your running stable then it's the feature drop next month that will have fixed it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
anyone with the june update tried this? has the fix from the beta release now been included in the main release?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Matterhorn:
I just sideloaded the latest OTA. I was previously on the 12 beta. LDAC and USB DAC are both working....so far.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
cool. thanks for the info. latest ota meaning main june release, not beta?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Matterhorn:
Yes. Today was the end of the 12 beta. Also you should opt out of the beta.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
ok cheers
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
If you don't manually opt out of the A12 QPR beta program, Google will automatically unenroll you "over the coming weeks".
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andriy2011:
Nope, it doesn't work the way it is supposed - external DAC is supposed to process the signal. But instead the pixel 6 pro internal DAC processes the signal and sends that processed signal to usb DAC. I can see it on my THX Onyx when playing MQA tracks - it shows yellow LEDs instead of magenta.

6 months to wait for another f**k up by Google.

Nice
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xryptic:
Actually it works. So I had the exact issue you encountered with the Tidal app. Uninstalled it and installed it back fixed this, you will now get the prompt that Tidal needs access to the DAC pop-up. After which, the THX Onyx DAC now shows magenta for MQA Master tracks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] andriy2011:
Tnx.

It helped.

Finally, after 7 months since I bought this P6Pro
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] liggerz87:
Can confirm neutron player works I'm on stable release I didn't bother with beta or nothing had phone 28th march
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] WhoIsJohnGalt1979:
Not sure if it's the June update, but after moving to the June update and Kiri 3.01, I was able to install UAPP pro and get a prompt everytime I connect my Chord Mojo through an Apple USB adapter, where am able to play bit perfect upto 24 bit 192 kHz and color changes in the Mojo confirm that. I get a prompt even when I use my Samsung USB c to 3.5 mm adapter. It's a pleasant surprise.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, a lot of people in Google's Issue Tracker for this bug are saying it was fixed with the June update. Good news!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tHe_riDDle:

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
anyone on 13 can confirm that their usb dac is still functioning correctly?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] coolpoete:
I experience cracking in audio with general apps using a fiio k1 dac. Using apps like USB audio player pro and fiios own audio player help alot but the volume seems limited somehow. I am quite disappointed here. Might pick up a cheap LG with storage card just as an audio player. And tested the dac with my pc and Samsung tablet and all native apps play with no static or cracking.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
and this was working ok on android 12?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] coolpoete:
Android 13
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] whatsisnametake2:
yes but was the same device that is causing problems on 13 working ok on 12?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] coolpoete:
Unfortunately I was not able to determine. I had gotten the 13 update first and the DAC came later so I can't say. If it makes any difference my tablet is on Samsung Galaxy Tab A is on A12 and it works flawlessly.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] coolpoete:
I found another solution for myself at least. I bought a more "generic" USB DAC from Amazon just to see what would happen. As it turns out it does work just fine with no crackling during playback on any apps. The only thing of course is whether or not this performs on the level of the Fiio which I doubt. For me I really wanted more so the adapter and amplifier more so than the DAC. I have switched back and forth between the devices and the cracking is there but only on my phone so it's not a faulty DAC. I suggest to read up on the product page to see if it lives up to what you need but I'm returning my Fiio for now. I don't use Tidal and will only on occasion use FLAC so it's fine for me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] coolpoete:
Update: I bought a better cable to replace my KZ Z10 Pro IEMS and all of a sudden now there is a slight stutter when turning the screen on and off. So I thought it was the cable and switched back to the previous cable and it's still doing it. Tried the cable on my Samsung tablet and it's not doing it. Same apps on both. It doesn't continuously crackle like the FIIO dongle. At this point I'm sure people just switch to Bluetooth and give up. This is ridiculous.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] NippleSauce:
This may be a hardware issue with the Pixel 6 series as the updates have never changed anything. From A12 to A13, there has always been occasional stutters when playing back High Quality or Master Quality tracks through Tidal (for me). Furthermore, this is only noticeable when I use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. It doesn't occur over Bluetooth, hence why I think this could be hardware related ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Mr. Jay Milestone:
Hi guys,

I keep having weird battery behaviour which led me to believe, that the battery is not properly calibrated:

When charged to 100%, the phone usually stays at 100% for a few hours depending on usage. Around 40% however it keeps dropping 1% every 2-3 seconds until after a few minutes it is drained completely and switches off.

Did anyone else notice that kind of behaviour? (Some guys on Reddit are facing the same issues)

And does anyone know a fix except waiting for a custom rom?

Thanks and all the best.

Jay
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] sushuguru:
Same here, I didn't notice the battery after 40% but the phone stays at 100% for a really long time, I played Honkai Impact at max setting and it still manages to stay at 100% for an hour, mb it's software issue, I'm on 12.5.7 Global btw.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Tumeez:
I didn't experienced that kind of issue. 12.5.13.0 EEA here.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] austick:
you have to calibrate the battery.

- discharge the battery until the phone turns off

- with a slow charger (10 / 25w) charge the mobile OFF

- once it reaches 100% (1-2 hrs) wait another 2 hours.

- Power up and test.

This method usually solves this problem, it is important to use a slow charger and only use the 120w one when it is really necessary. It seems that some batteries have not been properly calibrated
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Mr. Jay Milestone:
Thanks, I'll try to do that with a slow charger.

After it reached 100% still keep the phone on charge for the next two hours or just wait two hours to power up?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] austick:
Still keep the phone on charge min 2 hours or more (ex. When you sleep) next you can turn on
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] sushuguru:
It does fix something, now my phone can stay till 1% without turning at 3% like before, thanks.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] austick:
For me viper4android it's much better if you use wired headphones. I tried to use Dolby but it's not the same.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] rafik1976xda:
I'm on 12.5.13.0 EEA, same problem. Phone stay at 100% for hours, then when power dropped to 35-30% weird thing happened, it keeps dropping 1% every 2-3 seconds until after a few minutes it is drained completely and switches off.

Then it takes 5-10 minutes to start again

I will try to calibrate the battery tonight
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] nousernamesorry:
Hi, I was facing a similar issue.

I have used 3 chargers. 120W (stock), 10W (samsung), 65W (Anker). I was worried about my battery life, so decided to ditch the 120W charger which was also not giving me a good enough battery life, considering its a 5000 mah phone.

Im not paid by anker or something, but I saw a major difference between SOT compared with stock and samsung charger as well. I dont know why this is working out so well, but im getting 7+Hrs SOT easily, on heavy usage. AndI have been getting consistent results from the past week since i switched to anker. I genuinely dont know why or how this is working. But if it works, it works.

Im assuming due to the 120W quick charge, the battery calibration gets messed up. But idk how to explain the longer duration of SOT on the anker charger.

Ps. I dont use 5G
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] austick:
yes, I don't think you are very far from the problem. I also think that charging the mobile at 120w spoils the calibration of the battery so I use it only at specific times. I use a standard 15w charger (approx 2hrs)
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] rafik1976xda:
3 days later It looks like calibration sorted my issues. Now battery behaves as is should.

So calibration is very recommended if battery plays up
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Vixito:
I recently purchased this cell phone, and I am experiencing this problem. I have disabled almost everything, and uninstalled blotware. Should I calibrate the battery to improve battery drain?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] nousernamesorry:
Please read my reply in this thread, that will extend the battery drastically.
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ConstantinosM:
im facing this problem with this phone as well but also something else: after the battery drops to 18-20% it then discharges very very quickly to a point where in a matter of 5-10 minutes of use it's down to 0%. is this normal or is it another one of those side effects that their trashy fraudulent scamming xiaomi battery measurement causes?

will another rom fix these issues or are we stuck with them in this phone i rapidly regret getting?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] jamesking005:
I'm also facing the same issue, below 25% to 0% it drains like a liquid, I attached the screen record
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] ConstantinosM:
mine got fixed (at least for now) by calibrating the battery (leave it to discharge and turn off - try to turn on again until it wont - charge to 100% with phone off) i'll see how long this lasts and update
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] jamesking005:
Ya i did it for now it is fixed might be a temporary fix. I'll post here if it happens again
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] oouline24hr:
