According to the Android Police report, Google is said to be working on a fix for external DAC compatibility with Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, but it will be some time until the fix arrives.
Google’s community managers confirmed on Reddit that a fix for this issue is coming this summer.
A DAC is a digital-to-audio converter that can take digital audio and output it to an analog signal, which can then be used by audio gear. Traditionally, these devices are only used by those who consider themselves audiophiles, so this is certainly a niche issue, but one Google should definitely patch up.
With Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the problem with using an external DAC seems to come down to certain apps, such as Poweramp, crashing. Meanwhile, the issue outputs a loud screeching noise, which is sure to be unpleasant when wearing a pair of headphones.
