ITmedia Mobile "ITmedia Mobile Weekly Top 10" introduces the top 10 articles by tallying the number of article accesses in a week. This time, we have summarized and summarized the week from November 29, 2021 to December 5, 2021.
The number of smartphones equipped with a TV tuner (full seg/one seg) has decreased recently...The most accessed TV tuner (full seg/one seg) among recent Android smartphones It was an article that considered the decline in the installation rate of full seg / one seg).
With the emergence of unlimited capacity billing plans and the enhancement of video distribution services, it seems that the use of the TV tuner function has decreased compared to before. In addition, the TV tuner can only be used in places where TV radio waves can be received, and with the exception of some models, earphones cannot be received unless earphones are connected. I don't think so.
Recently, there are also HDD recorders and TV tuners that can be left at home to watch TV programs via Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) or mobile networks (reference article). As long as you have that, you don't have to force yourself (?) to prepare a smartphone with a TV tuner.
However, there are situations where "broadcasting" is useful in times of disaster. Recently, the increasing number of smartphones equipped with FM tuners may be an "alternative measure" to meet the needs of receiving broadcasts.
The Pixel series displays an error when it detects an analog audio device connected to the USB Type-C port (a notification icon appears at the end of the arrow)Second most accessed , It was a column that wrote that there are two types of USB Type-C connected audio devices, "analog connection" and "digital connection".
The USB Type-C terminal itself is also supposed to input and output signals other than USB (Universal Serial Bus). In fact, one of the signals is analog audio input and output. However, when the USB Type-C terminal has an analog audio input/output function, only the method of connecting an analog audio device via an audio conversion adapter is allowed as described in the article.
With recent smartphones and tablets that only have a USB Type-C terminal, if you basically choose a digital connection type (a type with a built-in DAC/ADC), you won't have any problems with audio output. However, in rare cases, it may not work well due to compatibility issues. Some manufacturers of adapters and earphones have published "models that have been confirmed to work", so it is recommended that you do as much research as possible before purchasing.
By the way, I personally recommend the stereo headset "STH50C" sold by Sony (formerly Sony Mobile Communications). Since the STH50C is recognized as a USB audio device, it can also be used on a Windows PC. It's convenient to use in my home, which is full of various devices. Honestly, I think it's a waste that the sale has ended.
