My webcam has a built in microphone but the recording quality is ****. Is there a way I can use my phone as a microphone instead? Thanks.
or even if anyone knows of maybe a reg hack to make the recording tool in the note program longer, i think it's like 30 seconds but theres gotta be a way to extend it to a couple minutes, right?
There is a commercial software to make your device a webcam for computer (which includes mic)

Do you know the name of this software?
Hi fellas,
I fly FPV and I wanted to use my Infuse to record the AV footage by splitting the video cable which goes to my monitor to my hdmi chord/dongle for the infuse.
The AV equipment has low resolution 640x480 if I'm lucky.
Would this idea work? There is no audio as my transmitter does not have a mic but If I could use a screen capture software on my phone to record my flights that would be fantastic. Is this possible? To use the HDMI dongle as an AV in to stream live video on my phone (assuming there is an app) basically using my phone as a DVR.
Thanks for any helpful response.
no but it would be cool to use a transmitter as reciever.... I mean if a PC needs a dedicated video capture device rather than the monitor-out going both ways then why would a cell phone be likely to work like that? if USB hosting gets figured out in the kernel and a USB video capture device was used the sure but the mhl is a 1 way device as far as anyone knows.
you may as well get a laptop and usb video capture card then copy the file to the phone.
Guess the laptop is as good as any it's a shame though
The transmitter that I was talking about is the transmitter on the aircraft transmitting the image which is being viewed on a monitor
I destroyed my gopro in a crash so I was looking for alternate solutions without having to buy anything as I am dirt poor
thanks a lot for your input
My Surface will connect to two Insignia TV's and work great but when I connect to a Samsung TV it does not detect the TV on my Surface at all. Any ways you know to fix this? Thanks.
Won't work for me on my LG either. This seems to be a common problem
Works on my LG, but no sound output. It just plays on my Surface speakers.
I don't really care about the sound working part I really want the video to work. I don't get why it doesnt on certain TVs.

Try another tv or cable. I had a problem with the adapter sold from ms store. Im using a micro-hdmi / hdmi cable now and its working fine. Btw i have an old lg tv/monitor that doesnt get sound but its not a problem with the surface, this tv won't work with sound with any of the computers I tried (4 in total counting surface).

I did try two other TV's and they did work, I just don't understand why my Samsung TV won't work.
Check your HDMI feed settings on Samsung

Depending on the model of TV you can control the HDMI feed settings to accept Native image size and feed. I had issues on my Samsung TV and was able to resolve them in the menu, HDMI settings portion of the menu.

720P Not compatible resolution
I have a somewhat older (5/6 years old) Sony Bravia LCD tv, that is 1080i, and 720p hd support. It is old, and only has 1 hdmi port, and the settings in the tv do not give me any HDMI options - therefore I cannot ask the TV to accept the native resolution. When I plug in my surface, and try to use it, the start screen comes up, live tiles update, etc. but I cannot launch any apps. I get an error that my resolution is not supported (720p).
I have tried to mirror, extend, and only use only the 2nd monitor - all get me the same error. I open the resolution settings, and it doesn't allow me to switch the resolution on the 2nd monitor.
Is there any hope - or should I just bite the bullet and get a VGA adapter?
I really don't want to spend 1500$ on a tv just because my surface wont mirror to the screen. I just for the life of me cannot figure out why MS wouldn't support native 720p resolution - considering there are probably 10's of millions of TV's that utilize that HD format.
This is the first major fail in my book for this device. Other than this, still loving it.
1) Don't buy Samsung crap
2) For sound, go to Desktop > Right click on volume > playback device > Select HDMI and click by default > Then restart the app which was using sound (if it was opened).
3)For 720p problems, my advice is to watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peGXiGURzRc

Thanks - I saw that - My TV only has one HDMI, so switching the port obviously isn't the issue.

You need and you must have a 768p minimum. Check which resolutions your Surface supports in settings.

Yes, I know, I just don't understand why MS would do this considering the 1000's of devices out there that max out at 720p. Either way, I ordered a VGA adapter, and will see how that works. Anyone know if I need to buy the MS one, or can I just get any MicroHDMI to VGA off of amazon?

Press win + p and select second monitor only, it'll output to 1080p and all tvs will work. Some tvs won't accept the surfaces native red over hdmi. U can also use desktop display settings to 1280x720 if U want mirroring.
Mine works on all of my TV's, but my damn HDMI port has to be forced too work

really marco dont buy samsung crap... Samsung tv's are great. Also fyi it works fine on my samsung 1080p tv except the audio but im not using the tv for its audio so.
hi. i hope you can help me.
if i missed the topic, please re-direct me or move my topic.
i have LG smart tv, and Time Machine function on it. but as it turns out, that DVR can only record digital signal, and not analog. and we dont watch our digital tv (because it has only 10 programs in croatia), so we watch max tv program - trough our phone wire... device is connected to tv via HDMI.
is there any way to make HDD record everything, some software, or software tweak, crack of some sort? anything at all to record tv program?
thank you

Still hoping for help
Hey there, hopefully someone can offer some insight here. I just recently got a Mate 8 and something that I did frequently with the Note 4 I had before was play audio in the car via the usb connection to my stereo. I am not able to do this with the Mate 8.
It ACTS like it's playing audio, but there's just no sound coming from the stereo or from the phones speakers. I can still change songs and play/pause it via the car stereo controls, however, which is also weird. In the developer usb options it's listed as "Audio Source", and trying to choose a mode for file transfer from the notification just causes USB to disconnect and reconnect and go back to not having anything selected. It didnt work on unrooted, unmodified, stock firmware (chinese B156), and it still doesnt work after I fully wiped all data and flashed a custom rom (KangVIP Slim).
Any ideas? Has anyone else successfully played audio over usb with their mate 8? Thanks guys.
What head unit do you own?

I own a Kenwood Excelon DPX791BH. It has two modes, one which plays local files using its android app and displays the song info on the unit and one which just plays back any audio from the phone at all, both do the exact same thing (act like they're playing, and respond to controls from the unit.) Interestingly, in the file playback mode the current time indicator on the head unit seems to run through the file at double speed. It happens with any audio, notifications or Spotify or local files, etc.
Have you tried with USB debug ON or OFF?

Yeah, I've tried both, it doesn't change anything. It still acts the same way.
Where are stored your audio files? Internal memory or microSD?

the main thing i use it for is just the routing audio mode, which is independent of the location of the files. It basically functions like how a pair of headphones would if you connected it to the headphone jack and plays any audio that is produced by the phone. I've tried playing audio from the SD card and internal storage, however.
Have you tried the Mate 8 USB connection mode as MTP?

yeah, as I said in the initial post selecting either of the two USB connection options from the notification, MTP or PTP, causes the device to quickly disconnect and reconnect with neither selected.
Maybe there is an incompatibility with Android 6.
If you can you could try to connect another Android 6 smartphone.

That's what I was thinking is possible, but I haven't heard of anyone else having this problem. Has anyone used USB audio on the huawei mate 8 or any other android 6 phone? The only other phone I have is my old note 4 and that doesn't have android 6 on it.

The compatibility problem might reside in your car stereo, you might find other users of your same unit to contact on a Kenwood car stereo dedicated forum.

If anyone else can confirm audio out via USB is possible on the mate 8, then that would be the next step, as the head unit has worked with other phones in the past, and still works with my note 4. Right now asking here seems like the best idea. Hopefully someone can confirm or deny usb audio out is a possibility with the mate 8

But with which car stereo or device?
Under developer options there's a setting to enable USB audio source. The toggle is under network then select USB configuration. Not sure if this will help but worth a shot

No, sadly. Nobody has responded and it still doesn't work. Nobody has said they have been able to do it, either.
