P. A. /flip 6 phone

[dewayne]

I have a PA that would work fine with my old Android phone which required 3.5 Jack but I have a  Samsung flip 6 that requires C type adapter which I have added but now there's no sound coming out of the PA or the video freezes. any suggestions?

A USB 'C' does not pass audio signals, so cannot drive a PA at all. There is an adapter/dongle which converts USB digital data to audio, with a 3.5 socket for a headset. That's the way to get audio from the 'phone to the PA. It can be done with a Bluetooth receiver plugged into the PA, too, but it's a bit more messing about. Walmart carry such a dongle...

Thanks.  I have several versions of this type adaptor including c to 3.5 (male and female) going to 1/4" or XLR, (male or female) part of problem was a setting on my phone that i am unsure how it got turned off/on.  Now still sound restrictions but if i pull 3.5 halfway out of female adaptor into phone the sound is full but only if i am holding just so

I believe i have the wrong jack.  3.5 for sure but mabe trrs is  whats needed.

Trs is for headphone alone. Trrs is for headphones with a mic. It's the former that's required for getting audio out for the PA.
