I use a PIxel 2XL. Recently, I acquired a Sony UDA-1 amplifier. There is a USB-A port on the front which allows for connection of smartphones to play music through the amp. I've tested this with a Sony NWZ-ZX1 Walkman, which runs an old version of Android, and it works. It's simply plug and play. The amp has a DAC, so it takes the digital stream from the host device and plays it through the speakers.
However, when I connect my Pixel 2XL, I don't get any sound through the amp. The Pixel plays the sound on its own speakers. How do I get the Pixel to output digital audio via USB?
The amp is an older model - circa 2014 or so - so I don't know if it simply does not support USB-C devices? That would kinda suck. I reached out to Sony support but they were useless.
