Welp.
Here is to hoping for AMD's zen.
USB audio is nice but it's also nice to not have to buy a new headset or new DAC for my new box.
Edit: spec says analog audio over usb so, there's that.
- Sephr 10y agoUSB-C has an analog audio output mode (audio adapter accessory mode which uses the device's internal DAC), so you won't have to do that. There will eventually be passive USB-C→3.5mm cables for use with analog-only headphones.
- sp332 10y agoDo you have a link for this? I've never heard of it but it sounds cool.
- Sephr 10y agoHere's a screenshot of part of the relevant section from the USB-C spec: https://i.imgur.com/y6xCS9u.png https://i.imgur.com/y6xCS9u.png
- cnvogel 10y ago> The headset shall not use a USB Type-C plug to replace the 3,5mm plug. So, the only sane way to connect an analog headset to a mobile phone is forbidden by the spec... Assuming I had a phone with a Analog-Audio-USB-Type-C capable, I'd like to have a headset that directly plugs in, and for which I don't have to purchase, carry, and loose a separate adapter.

- pritambaral 10y agoPardon me, but I don't get the relation between AMD's Zen and USB/non-USB audio...
