Xperia Z1, Problem with OTG and Sony PS3 Headset Pulse USB Adapter

Hi, I did a bit of testing, with headphones Sony PS3 Wireless Headset Pulse , I state that both the adapter and the Sony Pulse Headphones work perfectly on PC and PS3 via the USB adapter , then connect the adapter via USB OTG connection on the Sony Xperia Z1 . With much regret I noticed that the connection between the USB adapter and headphones was established , but the audio was transmitted jerky and scratchy . So I decided to try again via USB OTG headphones Logitech F540 (again, via USB OTG, not via audio jack) , and with much enthusiasm I noticed a connection quick and efficient , without cawing and smoothly ; clear sound as if they were of the headphones connected directly to the Audio Jack with wire . I then decided to try another pair of headphones USB (for PC) , the Creative HS -1200 , connecting via the USB OTG adapter receiver headphones ( ie the same thing I did with Sony and the Logitech ) ; also in this case the Creative Wireless Headphones have received the sound from the USB receiver , without any problem or distortions . Now I want to understand how it might work all this variety of USB devices not Made by Sony , connected via the OTG port , but do not work Devices Made By Sony ? You can solve this problem with the Firmware right?
The firmware installed in my Xperia Z1 is 14.1.G.1.534 .


The OTG cable is fully functional with a multitude of devices (USB HD 2.5 Inch, USB pendrive, USB Audio, USB Mouse and keyboard).
For your info, I already tried to connect the OTG, to a powered USB 2.0 HUB, and on the HUB USB, connect the adapter from Sony and the result is one and the same. The USB adapter will light as the Sony Z1 directly connected to the OTG, but the sound from the speakers gets crackling and jerky. I tried to connect the USB adapter of Sony headphones, and then connect the cable from USB jack to the audio jack of Z1, and of course the audio works perfectly, because it bypasses the USB audio sent by Z1, going to use the 'Jack audio input, and using the USB Headset adapter (Sony Pulse) as a simple transmitter.

 

Thank you to anyone reply to this. Slightly_smiling_Face

 

Edit: i have try with samsung S3 and Samsung S4 with OTG and the Sony HeadSet Pulse work fine with the USB Dongle. The problem is on the firmware audio of the Xperia Z1.

Hi all,

Sorry for the late reply.

The Sony Pulse headset is unfortunately not supported by Xperia devices.

So the Xperia Z2 work with the USB via OTG? Please answer me. I've tried with the cable and only works when they're off.

Yes, i can confirm that.

With the Sony Xperia Z2, the Sony PS3 Pulse Headset, work very well with the USB OTG connected to the phone and the dongle connected to the USB OTG.

So it's very uncomfortable, but WORK without cable connected on the Jack, of the Phone or to the dongle; just the Dongle in Wireless Mode! Slightly_smiling_Face

Thanks for the reply, I bought an OTG cable and it works great, just too bad the flap has to be open for the headset to work. Hey, do you know if it is possible to connect the USB dongle using an adaptor on the magnetic port?

Hi :)... The magnetic dongle, do not allow data transfer or any data traffic, through the 2 pin of the docking station. So the only solution is to open the flap and connect the otg 😕

Solved....
I have Z1 and I can use the headphones with bassimpact switched on via 3.5mm cable.

the problem is the cable that come from the headphone itself. just change the cable to other 3.5mm cable audio jack.
You will know the cable difference once u plug the cable while playing a song, the sony cable will continue playing the song (not working cable), and the right cable is the one that will stop the song.
