How to calculate the round trip and is 3.5mm adapter necessary to run the test?

91 views Asked by At

Could you tell how to calculate the round trip with the Oboe implementation?

Round trip test environment is according to https://github.com/google/oboe/blob/master/apps/OboeTester/docs/Usage.md

Some of these tests require an audio Loopback Adapter that plugs into a 3.5 mm jack. If the phone does not have a 3.5 mm jack then you can combine that with a USB to 3.5mm adapter.

Is it really needed? I still can get the latency result without loopback adapter in a quiet test environment, is this result wrong? In my Android phone (Oneplus 8, Android 10, CPU: Qualcomm 865, 8GB+128GB), I got latency.msec = 35.xx.

The loopback adapter is required to test the signal path over a wired connection (either 3.5mm or USB).

The result you have measured is the over-the-air signal path from the built-in speaker to the built-in microphone. This is typically higher than a wired signal path because of extra signal processing introduced to improve the sound quality of the built-in speaker.
