4.5
You plug in your dongle, but the phone continues to play music through its speakers.
Symptoms
- No audio through adapter
- "Device not supported" error
- Speaker still active
Possible Causes

- Software bug
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Check Compatibility
Some phones (like Pixel/Samsung) require "Active" adapters with a built-in DAC chip.
2
Clean USB-C Port
Lint in the port can prevent the data pins from connecting.
3
Restart Phone
Forces the system to re-scan the USB bus for audio devices.
When to See a Technician
Apple's USB-C to 3.5mm adapter is actually one of the best and most compatible options available.
