My J5's 3.5mm jack is broken.
Can I utilize the USB port as an alternative for Audio output with the help of any USB Soundcard/DACs?
Tried some USB audio hardware with OTG and they work, although very low volume and when you want cheap option, it's a lottery to get a stereo one, as it tend to get mono output the time it gets lower volume. Consumes more battery too than using Bluetooth.

Better to get Bluetooth modules like from KZ's or TRN's and mod the module yourself. Or get a universal 3.5mm Bluetooth module.

I have mod my BT earphones and converted it to universal module that can power with 3 AA batteries years ago when I still have my J500H with broken jack.

Take note that both BT and USB will make FM never work if you still listen to FM.
