Connection tablet to audio interface cables.

[Mike Hunt Too]

What kind of cable do I need for :

Samsung S5 e tablet

USB c ( has headphone dongle ) no headphone jack.

Samsung tech support says I can't use the audio out through the USB as well as the USB OTG at the same time. 

Zoom h4n pro

USB mini b 

Thanks

Please use a cable like the one in the second picture here:

and then a regular cable connected to your Zoom. Your tablet may have come with a USB-C to female USB-A adapter already.

Make your own OTG cable.

May one modify a USB C ( male ) to USB A ( female) adapter cable to an OTG cable by step two as described in the link?

No, USB-C has no OTG. It features power or power and data. You need a cable which has power and data. Please do not modify cables!!

[Mike Hunt Too]

Why does it need power and data, as the zoom h4n audio interface has it's power. The power is internal to the zoom h4n as 4 AA batteries or thru an external power adapter of 5 vdc attached to it's dc input?

You will only find cables that have power+data or only power, so this is not an issue
