I have found that different USB adapters will vary wildly in their max volume and sound quality. I bought a Google branded one from a local retail store and it kind of sucks. I ordered a higher end one and it gets louder and sounds better at high volume.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoI drive a 25-year-old car and the only reason I’m able to play music from my phone on the car’s sound system is that it was built to accommodate a 6-disc CD changer in the trunk. For $50 I was able to hook up an accessory that plugs into the changer port and fools the car stereo into thinking the audio signal from the phone is actually coming from a CD changer. Unfortunately my newest phone of course has no 3.5mm audio jack and the USB-C adapter has like a third the maximum volume of a normal plug. Oh well, better for my hearing at least.

Interesting! Can you link me to the one you ordered?

That’s the good one I have. I’m sure there are other options but it has held up well and sounds good!

You could go on and get a chip that has aux output and bluetooth input so you can have that extra bit of convenience.
But it’s still bullshit to remove a feature on a phone.
