Though it doesn't seem possible at the moment, would it be possible to add support for usb audio devices somehow? Like USB headphones or speakers...
And where would that be done? custom kernel...?
I'll take this a step further...
How about a 2 channel USB recording interface?
I have an M-Audio Fastrack Pro...2 channels in, 4 out...
It would be great to have this capability and I think it would open up some developement opportunities for people in the music/video world.

USB Speakers would be nice but how good can bus powered speakers be? Now a USB headdet would be sweet for recording as mradlauer said hehe

I have my S3 on stock software. Bought this pioneer deck that says its android compatible. Could use the headphone aux in but wanted to use the USB audio. Is there something I'm missing. I put the phone in "media mode" and the deck says na USB audio when I connect it.. so its recognized but when I play something on the phone it just plays through the phone speakers. I'm new to this integration. Searched the forum with no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.

Most decks are "android compatible" by either reading the phone as a usb device or by bluetooth. Since the S3 doesn't present itself as a usb storage device, it won't work via usb. The only ways to connect it is either through aux cable or bluetooth connection. Btw have the same deck as you lol
Ha thanks for the reply. Aux it is since no Bluetooth on it. I bet you like those colors don't you.

Haha, yeah the colors look sick. If you want to have a bluetooth connection, you can do a round about way. If you want a kind of iphone/ipod touch experience (changing songs/volume from the phone) with the S3, get a bluetooth adapter such as the auris. You connect the bluetooth adapter to the iphone cable and then just sync up the bluetooth to the phone. Bluetooth 4.0 aptx quality supposedly equivalent to usb.
Hi,
I've been looking for a solution to use a dedicated USB soundcard with my TF700, because the sound quality from the 3,5mm analog out isn't loud enough, the quality isn't great and I hear lots of intermittent "hiss" noises when I'm watching movies with DTS sound (whatever the video player I use).
The main problem is the loudness, since I'd like to use the tablet to watch videos i.e. in a plane.
I was thinking of an external USB soundcard like the Asus Xonar U1 or U3 to connect to the dock's USB, but I'd like to know if anyone has tried it before.
Preferably, I'd like something with a dedicated headphone amp.
I have a HiFimeDIY Sabre DAC that kind of works when I plug it in the dock, I hear sounds but with lots of popping and cracking.
Using the USB Audio Player I could make the tablet work correctly with the DAC, but that one only works for music, and their custom driver doesn't work with other apps.
Any help?
(sorry if I posted in the wrong section)
An update:
I went to a store and tried a Xonar U3 connected to a TF700+dock. Same thing as with the Sabre DAC I tried earlier.
Whenever I play something, the sound is "recognizable", but it's mostly made of popping and cracking.
It sounds the same as is I was used the Audio Player before applying the proper settings (force 1-bit, 16bit sampling, 4k buffer).
This seems to be a driver issue. I heard Samsung phones/tablets work flawlessly with most external USB DACs, so this is a real shame.
Why don't you get a Fiio amp?

Does anyone know if the s5 has video out on the braphone jack like old galaxy s devices?
I need a solution to get composite audio and video to a projector. Projector has DVI / svideo / composite/ VGA.
Any ideas? I have seen mhl to hdmi which are cheap but then I would have to convert to dvi and loose audio and run a separate cable.
No but there is MHL to VGA adapters you can buy from eBay etc.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400785524940
But that's audio only.
I found thus that might do the trick and doesn't need any external power.

Oh actually just looked again and there's an audio out socket on the aide of the VGA.

Says in the description you get video but you can't get audio out of that using S3/4/5 etc. Probably because of the newer MHL standard.
Perhaps they mean on the older phones? The description says AV cable. The A standing for audio and V standing for video. If it doesn't do audio then the item is not as described. I have just queried this with him. You can't have a title saying AV then in the last line if the small print say doesn't support audio.
Does that mean that the mhl to HDMI doesn't carry audio either?

It means it works with audio and video on older devices using the original MHL, but S3/4/5 etc use MHL2.0 with different pinout and that's why you need an adapter, but maybe something about that RCA cable can't use the audio for whatever reason.
But as long as you use that little adapter you can use any MHL to HDMI with audio.
Just checked my MHL version is 2.1 hopefully they will clear it up. If that is the case can't I just use audio out the headphone jack and video from the mhl phonos? Pain in th ass from a wiring point if view but should still work.

Yeah that'll work but audio quality won't be as good, but I guess it's the only way unless you buy a HDMI to RCA converter, but that means plugging 2 separate adapters into the phone and even more hassle.
Yeah plus I already bought that cable haha.
Your right its a massive hassle, I just gave away my iphone as well which was dead easy to connect via RCA, add that to my unable to swap extSD with inSD on kitkat problem and im starting to wish i hadnt bothered with the S5 now.
just bought Monoprice mhl vga converter which is supposed to be 100% compatible but can't connect... nothing happens,.. no sound, no error, just nothing. installed the Rom with stock kernel (thought that might be an issue (since I was running on Twi5ted Lollipop Rom with a custom kernel... same result, while my wife on her htc one m7 running a custom ROM too had no problem... just connect and enjoy... i'm at a loss... anyone here got an advice? thanx.
Galaxy S5 G900F... stock kernel.
I got an MHL converter in the end as well and it works great, you need to plug your charge cable into it as well at the same time to get it to work.
Hi dear xda community
Im having a problem with the audio port and wanted to ask if there is a solution.
Due to malfunction of the 3.5mm audio port, my htc butterfly s can no longer play music properly via the 3.5mm audio port.
Atm im searching for a non wireless way to use my phone as an mp3 player.
Is there a way to use the micro usb port to play music, without the need of a external DAC? Im sceptical if just a cheap micro-usb to 3.5mm dapter can work... For this to work there somhow has to be some kind of digital to analog transformation, and i dont know if the micro usb port does so. in the future, Android L should somhow bring usb audio??
But in the end.... you know nothing jon snow =(
So i wanted to ask, what do you suggest is the best way to get arround this problem.
Thx for your help!

You can try a bluetooth speaker.
My issue
Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6P and want to route my audio through a USB type C converter to 3.5mm headphone Jack. I have purchased one online, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen that the Moto Z has this adapter and I assumed one I found online would be compatible with my 6P. The reason I want to do this is because I prefer for the AUX jack to come out the bottom of my phone.
What I have tired
Changed 'Select USB Configuration' to all the different options and tried playing music.
Tried 'audio routing' apps from the app store
What I would like to know
Is this because I need to change a setting in my phone to route music out of the USB C?
Do I need to get some kind of DAC to allow support for this?
Has anyone else tried this with their phone?
Thanks

One reason is that to me it makes more sense to put your phone upside down into you pocket. I've always done this at least. So when listening to music I have to put it the other way round. I have also heard the USB C port offers better sound quality.

Re:sound quality, you'd possibly see a quality increase if you use an external Digital to Analogue Converter or fully usb-c headphones. BUT, if you're using a little dongle (if it's possible), then the phone is still managing the analogue conversion and, thus, a very similar quality of audio output. Now I don't know of the 6p's ability to pipe it straight out iPhone 7 style through a dongle, but short of buying a DAC and going whole-hog on an audio upgrade, I'd just flip your phone the other way in your pocket and go the standard route.
Just my $.02
I have been looking for a solution to this too and I seem to have found one. I poked around on Amazon and I think I finally found adapters that work, here's the link https://goo.gl/QT2ith This the only one with positive reviews so when it comes in on the 30th I'll let all of you know.

Looks quite similar to the one that I got. Hopefully it works for you! Let me know how it goes
I read recently that the current implementation of audio over USB-C isn't very efficient or battery friendly. There's a new spec being ratified to provide audio like the iphone can. Hopefully that's a firmware change and not a hardware one.

I don't think it's possible on the 6P, not without using a USB DAC anyway.
As far as I'm aware, the adapter you have is for a USB 3/3.1 interface. While the 6P has USB-C it is USB 2.
I'm able to get audio out of my USB C port, but it's with a USB headset. Haven't tried it with a 3.5mm headphone adapter, but havd no reason to try it either.
This is weird. Because i have a pair of Sennheiser Urbanites (Wireless edition), and i can use bluetooth, aux, and usb (like for a computer) audio. I once tried to turn off the headsets (bluetooth off, aux and usb still works if connected), and turned off bluetooth on my phone. Then i used my USB type C to USB type A Female adapter (from the google store), and connected the usb-cable from the headsets into the type c adapter. it did output audio through the usb-cable.

Bluetooth headphones usually have their own DAC, so the audio for all but the Aux is still being sent through the DAC first, which is supported by older USB standards.
The new USB 3.1 Audio standard can pass through analogue audio from the internal DAC, which is what I believe phones such as the Moto Z utilise. Otherwise the adapter would require it's own DAC, which would make it far larger and more expensive.
Not sure if you will find a good solution at the moment since they just created a standard for audio over usb c http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160927006252/en/USB-IF-Announces-USB-Audio-Device-Class-3.0
Did the amazon converter end up working for you?
My experience so far.
Hi, I ordered some usb c to 3.5mm & out of the box so far they aren't working. I tried Neutron and tried to force the audio to usb but unsuccessfully with phone not recognizing the USB connection.
On the other hand the type C to usb-a adapter worked beautifully using mixplorer. If I get working, will update. Thanks.
