Hi
I wanted to buy a mini-usb to 3.5mm audio adapter for Zinc-ii phone so that I can use my regular headset for listening songs. I couldn't find a mini-usb adapter for Zinc-ii but I got one generalized adapter (mini-usb to 3.5mm audio). When I attached the adapter to Zinc-ii, it is not routing the audio through the adapter. It triggered the activesync tool first time and it failed for obvious reason because it is a 3.5mm adapter not a computer.
1. Is there any setting which I have to do for routing the audio through the adapter?
2. Is there a place where I can buy a 3.5mm audio adapter if there is a special one for zinc-ii? The headset came with the device is working perfectly fine.
Thanks
i made myself a cable using the original zinc2 headphones get a solder ,wires and 3.5 plug dats it ... or i cud sell mine for lets say 10 gbp + delivery ... i got htc now
Thanks. I will settle for Acoustic Research bluetooth minibridge available in circuitycity website selling for $20

I'm on my second Audio adapter from Pocket PC Techs: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=PPCPADPT01. The first one would sometimes only play the left or right speaker and I'd have to jiggle the wire on the adapter for it to play properly. I returned this for a second one which worked fine up until last week when it started to pop the speakers in the car when the slightest jostling of the wire occured (hitting bumps). I've got it connected to the XDA 2 and then to a cassette adapter with 3.5mm jack in the car. The cassette adapter works fine on the iPAQ H3970 and the XDA 2 works perfectly with the included stereo headset. Another problem with the PPCTechs audio adapter is that the microphone doesn't work in the 2.5mm headset jack part.
I know there are people out there who have canibalized their included stereo headsets to make audio adapters and also people who have made their own USB adapters with audio out capabilities. Is anyone interested in making one for me?! I can send a canibalize-able stereo headset with the proper audio jack if needed.
I would like either:
- A modified stereo headset cable with microphone that connects to a female 3.5mm stereo headset jack.. or directly to a car cassette adapter.
...or...
- A serial port connection that can output stereo audio to a 3.5mm female audio jack, includes a microphone or 2.5mm mono headset jack, and provides charging capabilities.
I imagine the former choice would be easier, but none of my local electronics repair shops want to do it and I don't have the tools or experience to do it right. The latter would be nicer. I'd buy a car kit, but I havn't seen any that work with the XDA2 and provide audio out that can connect to the car stereo. I want both stereo music/movies to be played in the car stereo speakers as well as GPS navigation commands and (sometimes) phone calls... and I want Voice Command to work (hence the need for a microphone)!
Please PM me with costs if some one can do this for me.
Adamz- Did you push in the connector from the Audio all the way in? I used the handsfree set ( supplier with MMDA II) and it was not working properly and was also loose until I found that you have to really push it firmly.
I am suprised if you did do that and it still does not work as you said it has all the connectors
I am also looking for a similar solution using the same principle. The other sync input I use for mt GPS connector/ charger . was going to try the Audio adaptor that you are using with a mute box through to a speaker .
Can any one help?

Did you read this topic?
Maybe this might work for us.

Nah, I want stereo quality music to be played in the existing speakers in my car. I also want GPS navigator instructions to be played in the car stereo as well as phone calls. I've got a Bluetooth GPS reciever, so I don't really need a serial connection.
The PPCTechs adapter is fully inserted into the audio jack, although sometimes pushing it too far makes it stop working as well! But if I jiggle the wire, sometimes it does work... then if I hit a bump, maybe it will stop working.
I'm thinking the USB Cradle with Audio might be good. If that's got a 3.5mm female stereo jack in the back, I can plug the casette adapter into that. Plug the USB into a cigarette lighter adapter... and that should be all set sinc the Audio USB cradle supposedly has a microphone in it.
Those don't seem to be available yet though.

I am wondering if it is possible to use the USB connection on the Tilt for attcahing it to external speakers. Is there any audio output directed throgh the USB port?
If not, can anyone recommend a blue tooth device that will allow communication from the Tilt and end up into an Ipod style jack that I can then plug into the Ipod port of the stereo system in my truck? (No factory blue tooth.)
Thanks to all.

Tilt's USB port has audio out. I use 8525's usb headset that I had laying around to listen to songs at work.
Thanks for the reply!
I will try to find a headset. I can then cut the headphones and attach an audio input instead of the earphones.
Can you recommend a brand other than the factory set?
Also, would anyone know where I can find the USB port layout?
Thanks again to all.
I cut the usb plug off my old htc herald headphones and put a 3.5mm jack on the other end. I then bought a cheap mp3 dock with speakers. Plug the usb jack into the tilt and the 3.5mm into the dock. The sound is pretty darn good. The dock works off 4 aaa batteries and gives me 8 hours of tunes. heres a pic with my old mda in it, it works just fine with my tilt also.
Someone should make a HTC dock with speakers that runs off batteries so its portable. I bet they could sell a few.
Adapters for the Tilt/8925 are available all over the web. USB on one end, 2.5mm or 3.5mm on the other. You can get them for 6 bucks here: http://www.tiltdepot.com/

I have a kaiser and just got the usb to 3.5mm adapter for 7bucks. I have a tape deck in my car so I bought a ipod tape to 3.5mm adapter now I have music and can run tomtom too even at the same time through the car speakers. I like that dock too!
Ok, im my mind, this does not seem like much of a stretch, although i have not been able to find anything like i am thinking. What i picture is a relatively small (about 30 mm diameter) bluetooth adapter to stream audio too. The "button" would have a 1/8" stereo adapter coming out the back side so that you could plug this into a aux input on a car stereo, or whatever else. Right now, i have an 1/8" 90 degree adapter to a 2' patch cable to a 3/32" to 1/8" adapter, to the ever so wonderful HTC usb to 3/32" audio and power adapter. This is a pain in the ass. Bluetooth stereo headphones are out. Hell, bluetooth GPS recievers are out that are around the same size that i am thinking this (from what i know) non existant device should be. Can anyone help me out here? All i want is a (small) bluetooth device that has a 1/8" stereo jack on it to plug in my car without the need for any wires.
Does such a magical device exist? Cheers.

it exists I have one but I haven't used it with my XDA Flame yet
MSI made it, and there a new model out
I have this one, I think it uses A2DP

I have the Logitech Premium Notebook Headset
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/webcam_communications/internet_headsets_phones/devices/223&cl=AU,EN
It has 2x 3.5mm plugs. One for the headphones, the other for the mic. Is there an adapter that I can use to plug this into my HTC Diamond? Often time's while I'm at work I'm answering calls on my cell and wouldn't mind having this hooked up to it while I'm working....
you could use the standart adapter by htc because it also has an microphone so u are able to answer your calls also^^
or maybe use the standart adapter and get a y-3,5mm cabel, i know that there is any excisting
Maybe something like this:

Standard adapter is not equiped in microphone. You can not connect also 2 3,5mm because this standard adapter has one 3,5 mm and 2nd smaller input for mic ( I do not know what is this standard but it is deffinitly not 3,5 mm) . Once I was trying to recreate this little jack and use headset that I was using for Skype the result was not succesfull so I just abandoned the idea to use different headset than originally equiped by HTC.
It's not exactly what you want, but but I have this from brando:

You can use it to connect any 3.5mm headphone, but not the mic. But there is a microphone inside the 3.5mm jack.
Hi,
Recently upgraded from a Touch Pro to a Desire and im looking at rigging it up in my car. I have a cradle and and a 3.5mm audio cable to connect to my car stereo.
What I also have lying around is an old external mic (i think from an old tomtom) which also has a 3.5mm jack.
Is there an adater that anyone has spotted that would allow me to connect both 3.5mm jacks - one for the mic input (ie handsfree input) and one for the audio out (music, satnav and hands free audio) ?
Ideally it would just be a cheap and cheerful splitter i guess ?
Thoughts anyone ?
I have searched for the splitter you are talking about for months, unsuccessfuly...
I got myself one of these. A bit of DYI and it works perfectly!
