I have an MHL adapter that i used all the time (worked flawlessly) on my Epic Touch for Sprint but I'm having issues with it on my Skyrocket.. I get video but no audio at all through my surround sound. I read a post about a similar issue and the solution was to use the headphone jack and connect it to the input of the external device (in my case, the receiver for my surround sound) but I get nothing. I'm confused/irritated with this so any help or suggestions would be great..

Hi all, new to these forums and trying to figure out some information on the xoom and its "interesting" HDMI out. With my friend's transformer on mini HDMI out, he is able to output full audio to our receiver without issues. I cannot do the same with this tablet and the micro HDMI to HDMI cable I have. It outputs tinny 2ch audio only.
I also tried it on four other receivers at the local fry's. Same deal... I therefore figured it is either an issue with the cable I bought or the xoom itself. It would be great to get this working for videos and the like, but the real deal is something far greater: playing angry birds in an earth shattering, bass powered 100" home theater slaughter.
Thanks for reading!

Well the quick way to narrow it down wuld be to try his trasnformer with your cable, or your xoom with his cable. My guess is that its probably the cable, cause I'm pretty sure we hooked a xoom up to the conferece room audio at work and it was incredibly loud bass and all...out of the blue, had the whole office wondering what was going on.

was that via HDMI or the 3.5mm jack on the top?
I would but unfortunately the xoom uses micro and the transformer uses mini. I ordered the official Motorola micro HDMI cable since it was $4 from amazon... if that doesn't work it has to be the xoom. Four high end receivers wouldn't give the same result like that. :-\

Please let us know, if it's the cable, ill buy the moto official one, otherwise I'll just continue to be annoyed with it not working.

Not sure if this could be the problem, but I have been unable to play 5.1 encoded videos on the Xoom. Any videos with 5.1 audio play at fast forward speed.

Well I just tried the HDMI cable and same result. Trash audio. I noticed the sub is putting out the tiniest amount of bass if I Max out the sub... but then I switch to the transformer and it absolutely bleeds bass. Its something in the xoom... I'm disappointed.

Hi all,
I had posted a response in the other HDMI thread but think here may make more sense and even help some of you out. I use my Xoom with the Motorola micro HDMI to HDMI cable going from the Xoom straight into my Dell 21.5" HD monitor from the monitor i use the 3.5mm Audio out port straight into my powered JBL sub woofer which is also connected to 4 JBL speakers. I am getting a full and rich sound stage and for some shows or movies i actually need to turn the Bass down i hope this helps some of you figure out what can or can't be done using a HDMI cable and especially the Motorola cable which whilst it may not be the cheapest option at least for me is giving great results.
Marc
Yes... I have used that as well. It does work, but that does not excuse Motorola from making the HDMI work as it should. I don't always have a 3.5mm Jack to plug into. :-\

@what9000
Sorry I'm a little confused by your post as surely the point is the Motorola micro HDMI to HDMI cable is working as it should as I'm not plugging the 3.5m jack into the Xoom but my monitor so if the Moto cable wasn't carrying the Bass the monitor out wouldn't and couldn't out put it. I thought what others where saying was that they were finding thier HDMI cables were not carrying the bass or maybe I have misunderstood that as the point as many also said they are not using the more expensive Motorola cable was that may be the cause. I realize in theory any HDMI cable should work but real life isn't always that simple.
Marc
Neither HDMI cable type nor manufacturer will make a difference in the number of audio channels played nor resolution of the video output of our Xoom.
If you're only getting two channel sound, then that's all the Xoom is outputting, which makes sense as there's only two channels in our audio system IIRC.
I basically isolated it down to the xoom. Four receivers, two cables and same result. The only thing that didn't change was the xoom. This is a bit underwhelming...

You have to run audio out via 3.5mm jack to get good sound. You can run the hdmi to a dock with a audio out then plug some speakers into the dock and it will sound great, but not straight through the hdmi.

I'm currently running cm7 1.5.2, whenever I plug in this external speaker I have it's super quite (media volume all the way up). It sounds fine on my I pod so I know it's not the speaker.. I think my problem is that the phone sees it as headphones thus making it a little bit more quite when in reality I want it louder.. Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

I had a similar issue when using my TB with either an external speaker or a cassette adapter. I think my problem was that the TB thought it had a headset/mic combo plugged in and tried to use the external speaker as a mic also...
I bought this device (a TRRS splitter) which separates the mic and speaker into two 3.5mm female aux ports and plug my speaker/cassette adapter into one of the ports (green). Works great.

Hope that helps.
I'm using the Infuse dock and while I really am enjoying using it, the lone issue I have is that all phone calls are audible only via the internal phone speaker rather than the car speakers (via 3.5mm). I know that the Infuse dock was (obviously) not made for the S3 so I don't know if it's an issue only with this dock or if this is how Samsung intended it to be with all docks. Would it be possible for a dev to enable this function in a custom ROM or other method? Thanks very much.
I don't have a dock but quick question. When you navigate to Settings/Dock, is "Audio Output mode" selected?

It is. The audio (music/videos) sounds perfect through my car speakers using a 3.5mm cable but actual phone calls are only audible via the phone speaker. Thanks very much for the reply.
Bump to see if this is feasible. Thanks.

i run my phone via a no name mount (moslty just a holdeR)
& a male/male headphone cable plugged from the phone into my headunit & it plays everything (pandora, calls, Svoice etc) all via the car speakers.
not sure what your issue is.
when you plug in the headphone cable, does the notification area say "headphones connected?"

Thanks for the reply. The headphones connected message does appear and while all my music is routed perfectly through my car speakers, it's only phone calls that play solely through the internal phone speaker. The difference between our setups is that my male/male headphone cable goes from the dock's integrated 3.5mm audio out jack to my head unit rather than from the phone's 3.5mm audio out. I'm hoping there's a way to get it to work without having to plug the cord directly into the phone as that would take away the advantage of having a dock with integrated audio. Thanks again.
I am having the same problem music goes through the usb port but calls do not. It is very frustrating. Hopfully they will fix it for CM 10.

That is something else entirely

My understanding is that Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't have USB audio output standard, but that Samsung adds it into their phones. So, having call audio not route through the USB sounds like an issue to send to Samsung.

Not sure uf I have faulty headphones or a faulty jack, but my headphones do not make a good connection with the input jack. That being said, when I am listening to internet radio, and my headphone plug gets moved or twisted, the Note switches over to the music app automatically and begins to play the preinstalled music file. This is very annoying.
Questions -
1. What if I do gave a faulty jack? Will I have to send my note for repairs?
2. What if a new pair of headphones do not lose connection as easy? Is there a way to make the Note not activate the music app when it detects headphones?
3. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

Have you tried another pair of headphones?
On my Desire HD I have a pair of JVC's that are slightly bent and when they're twisted it does some funky stuff. Could be a similar problem?

Is it possible to use the 3.5mm jack on the Nexus 5 as an input source for recording?
Like connecting it to a guitar.
Thanks in advance.
I don't know, but would be curious to know the answer.
Do you have a piece of hardware that you could test it with?

I believe the only way is via USB...but you have to use an app as Android does not build in USB recording as does Windows. I use this app along with a USB interface and a microphone on this phone and my tablet. Works great and the dev is a great guy. He also makes a DAW (there's a free version) for recording and editing.
that's... too bad then. thanks for info but.
btw, any suggestion for usb audio in? or usb mic? thx.
anyone? " _ "
I use a pair of wired ear buds that have a built in microphone for calls. I'm running CM11 not stock but I just tested and "Sound Recorder" is more than happy to receive its input via the headset jack. I would believe it's just a matter of finding the right converter plug for your guitar.

I have used ASR for recording, works fine over the headset jack. It is a mono source of course. It won't work with a standard 3.5mm plug of course, you have to have the signal on the microphone portion - which is ground (silence) for the standard plugs.
I used the adapter that came with Dragon Naturally Speaking. It has two 3.5mm stereo plugs to one 3.5mm stereo+mic plug. If you use a 3.5mm stereo cable into the mic side of this adapter it works fine.
You could probably rig up something from Radio Shack, but I didn't have to because this worked, and I don't need the adapter for my computer so it was just sitting in the cord box...
thanks to everyone who replied, truly.
it seems that there are 2 solutions...
1) usb sound w/dedicated app
2) cable that turns L/R input from TRS tip to M input on TRRS tip
the 3.5mm/trrs/(left/right/ground/mic) socket on the phone should work as tdcrone mentioned above. as long as a 3.5mm stereo+mic adapter available, or a custom cable that turns the original L or R input into M on the output end.
this is by far the simpler solution, **if such cable or adapter is available**, the caveat emptor is that the record will be mono, and there could be mic gain issues...?
otoh, the usb solution works, at the cost of having to get an adapter and apps for android costs.
@Vegasden: i see that both USB audio recorder pro and audio evolution mobile daw seem to work with usb recorder, and the latter one is just marginally more expensive?
edit: sorry, just realise that one also needs to buy usb audio recorder pro if she/he wants to use audio evolution mobile daw to do usb record
Is me again.
Do you think these will work? They claim to support iPhone only...
