Snapdragon Insiders Audio Adapter

Compatibility depends on whether the adapter follows standard USB Audio Class behavior rather than requiring Snapdragon-specific software. The Nothing Phone (1) has a USB-C port but no 3.5mm headphone jack, so a recognized USB DAC is required for wired analog headphones.

No. A high-fidelity USB-C audio dongle contains a digital-to-analog converter and headphone amplifier that turn the phone's digital audio stream into an analog signal.

That cannot be established from the adapter name alone; output voltage and power into loads such as 32 ohms or 300 ohms are the important specifications. Sensitive in-ear monitors require low noise, while demanding over-ear headphones need substantially more output power.

Music playback does not guarantee support for an inline microphone, call buttons, or volume controls. Those functions depend on the DAC's headset implementation and the Nothing Phone's Android compatibility.
