If you have updated to Android 4.3, apparently the native USB audio feature of Android 4.3 is bugged. Android phones and USB DACs - Page 255 You should inform Samsung. Forum | SAMSUNG Developers In the meantime, you could use the USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP) music player which includes its own USB audio soft driver. There is a free trial version available on Google Play store. By the way, UAPP is my preferred music player, because it can output a very clean sound. UAPP can also play and output 24-bit high resolution audio.

It's possible to charge the phone while using a USB DAC: Android phones and USB DACs

An Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-powered device can have both USB audio out modes: standard USB audio out and Android-specific USB audio out. These features are at the Android kernel level. http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/aoa...l#audio-support "Android Open Accessory Protocol 2.0 includes optional support for audio output from an Android device to an accessory. This version of the protocol supports a standard USB audio class interface that is capable of 2 channel 16-bit PCM audio with a bit rate of 44100 Khz. AOA 2.0 is currently limited to this output mode, but additional audio modes may be added in the future. To enable the audio support, the accessory must send a new USB control request: SET_AUDIO_MODE" It should be easy to enable standard USB audio out and Android-specific USB audio out on an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-powered device with USB host capability. Let's keep up the pressure on Google and the Android device manufacturers for the standard USB audio out: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/de...Summary%20Stars
