Hey
I'm about to build an diy audio dock for my xoom and i need some help regarding audio from usb port.
Do you know whether an adapter like this will work, or maybe an other solution for my problem?
Thx in advance
I have an older Motorola version of that adapter from a previous phone and I tried it, it did not work.
Now it is a different adapter so who knows. I know the Xoom does port audio out the USB connector when plugged into the docking stations so it may just be that this adapter I have does not make the proper connections.

I would like to use a USB adapter which has a microphone built in and an input port for a stereo headphone socket.
I have seen several around for the Touch HD but when I try to use one the phone says USB device not supported.
Is there a way around this.. TIA
um? you want to connect those to your HD?
cause a microphone requires power and the miniUSB port in the HD doesn't supply any.
Does anyone know if the sensation has audio out on the usb port? If so, which pins is it on.
Looking to butcher a dock to make use of it if it does, to save me having to connect the 3.5mm jack and usb connector at night.
Usually, the pins are 'multi-use'.
So to get them to be 'Audio', you'd probably need to have a certain resistance across some pins, which would make it 'sense' that you have an audio device connected.
You could try a micro-usb audio adapter from, say, a Toshiba TG01 (I had one of these) and try it. (The TG01 also had USB Host adaptor as well!)
You might find there's an official lead for it, or it might just not be a feature that's available.
Until we get a service manual for the Pyramid, or you find a lead and test it, we're going to have no luck.
ICS is rumored to have support for USB Host, that should open up a world of possibilities, such as this.. not sure if this is possible at the moment, but I would wager that it's not.
can we access TV-OUT feature by 3.5mm jack of sensation..??
on gsm arena, they had wrote that sensation does MHL+3.5mm AVout, but i've never heard of it by any user
Can anyone confirm it ??
BTW : i should go for a sensation or Xperia arC ??
It does HDMI out if you use an MHL adapter.

I had a quick peek on ebay... Just so I get it right (not very fluent with this) - signal goes out through USB? I take it that sound goes with it, or do we have to plug in to jack too?
Nope you do not need to plug it audio out from headphone. The micro usb to full size hdmi will carry video and audio together. I bought the cable at local electronic store.
Correct. You get video and audio through the usb socket to HDMI.
You can, however, plug in to the headphone socket and sound will come through there instead while it is still plugged into HDMI.
You also need to plug it into power for it to work.
Phil
hey phil, but how do you connect power while the mhl adapter is being used (through the same charge port)
It has a connector on the MHL adapter (a micro usb) to plug in the power.
Phil
Groovy, thanks chaps...
I think I just might get myself on of these toys, seems a handy gadget to have...
I've been looking for a cable to use in my car with my sII skyrocket for a week or so with no luck thus far. What I want is a single cable solution that plugs into the micro usb port on my phone and provides an aux out as well as usb out so I can charge and listen to my phone through my car. The usb would plug into a usb car charger and the aux out would obviously plug into the aux in on my stereo. I know it's possible to have one cable do this as I've seen docks that have this feature but I have yet to find a cable! I loved being able to easily charge and listen to my iphone with a single cable and hopefully someone knows where I can find one for my galaxy sII. Thank!
Does your car stereo have a regular 3.5 MM audio input? If so, just get a male to male audio cable and run that from your phone's headphone jack to the stereo.
I don't think there is such a cable because the Aux is an input that only take a signal from your device to the stereo, not the other way around. Usually those docks plug into the car lighter and connect to the radio using a specific radio station signal. Like burhanistan said, you should just buy a 3.5mm male to male cable like Retrak or Belkin and get a car lighter adapter for charging.
Yeah that's what I've been using but I would prefer to use a single cable to charge and play music. As you can see in these images the official samsung dock has a pass through auxiliary port with the only input being from the micro usb port so its definitely possible.
I might try and buy one of these and soldering in a micro usb cable to charge simultaneously but the skyrocket isnt listed under the compatible phones. Oh well my search continues...
Yea, sorry bud, the closest thing you're going to get is one of those Radio adapters that has a USB port on it, as well as the 3.5" male end.
I just checked on google for awhile and simply couldn't find anything. You can find these for the iPhone and I've used them, they rocked. Seems like the Skyrocket doesn't support audio out through the usb connector?

yeah would be nice..
Just bought one of these http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Headset-Adapter-to3-5mm-Female/dp/B003W057FS/ref=pd_cp_cps_1
If it works with the skyrocket I'm going to solder in a usb cable as well to charge it at the same time. I'll let you guys know if it works next week.
i too would love something like this. i used the IMP adapter before on my iPOD it was great could charge and listen to music at the same time with only one connector coming out. seemed more clean as far as cabling went.
Well the adapter I bought does not work with my skyrocket... Oh well I guess I'll have to deal with a mess of cables for now
Hi all,
Recently I got myself the new Asus MemoPad 7 (ME572C), with the intention of using it as my car media system.
I've bought a microusb to usb & aux cable (sorry, cannot post link to cable) so I can hook up my tablet to my car's stereo while charging it.
The charging is fine but there is no audio coming out of the stereo. The tablet just uses the internal speakers. I've also tried connecting the tablet to an audio/speaker docking station of philips with the same results: charging is fine but no audio from the dock, just the internal speakers.
I've read I should change some accessory options in the settings menu. But there is no such option in my settings. I've checked all options but none mention anything about docking audio.
Anyone has a clue on if and how I can make my tablet connect to my docking station and make my cable work?

Don't understand what kind of cable you are trying to use, could you post a link or picture? The tablet may not support charging and audio out through the same port. Have you tried charging through the usb port on your tablet and connect an AUX cable to the headphone jack on your tablet?

See attachment.
Yes I've tried charging through usb with the 3way cable and connect another aux cable on the headphone jack. This makes it charge and play audio through my extra added aux cable, but is not what I'm looking for. My idea was to use 1 cable for both charging and playing music in my car who doesn't have an usb in the radio, for better looking cable management.
Would this support be hardware of software related? In other words: is there a way I can add this support on my tablet?
