Connecting a 3.5mm headphone jack via USB-C to your Samsung Galaxy device

If you are experiencing issues connecting 3.5mm headphones to your Galaxy device via a USB-C connector, it may be because the cable may not be DAC (Digital to Analogue Conversion) compatible.

Samsung’s newest models no longer feature dedicated 3.5mm headphone sockets, utilising instead a USB-C convertor. This means that your device no longer directly supports DAC, and requires a USB Type-C to 3.5mm Headset Jack Convert Adapter with built in DAC.

You can buy a genuine Samsung Type-C to 3.5mm Headset Jack Converter directly from the Samsung website.
