Anyone know if the Nexus 5 allows this? I know I can use the line ports but I think its loose... my car has both usb and line-in port...
I know I could buy one of those FM transmitter, but I would rather not spend money if I didnt have too
Mine doesn't work through my USB but my Note 2 works
I know the thread is dated but my n5 on stock plays thru my ford touch sync and usb as long as i use data cable. It warns it will not play "protected" music (which i thought no longer existed), but songs play.

If your USB port can handle MTP and not a mass storage device I think you should be okay.
^^^ This
It will only work if your head unit supports the mtp protocol

Both my ford vehicles support MTP but every time I plug the phone in it has to index all of my music again. Anyone know of a solution for that?

I'm a new user to spotify and I have to say its an amazing app for music. I mainly use it for the gym. Id like to some how connect my phone to my reciever at my house to listen to it over my sound system. I also have a ps3 and thought I could do it that way but no dice. I have a couple of ideas on how to hook it up but don't want to start buying cable after cable and still not connection....any suggestions?

Does your receiver have aux in? Most do, just plug it into your headphone jack and into the front of your receiver (usually on the front).
Set the receiver to aux-in and voila
Simple cable, only like $5.
Hmm not sure i thought about that...it has dmport which I think is an ipod hookup....could I plug it in via hdmi?

What if you used a Aux to Audio In splitter (RCAs)? Does your receiver have audio an audio in connection which I believe all have?

I did think about that....and yes I do have audio in...I would prefer a digital connection...my reciever does have hdmi in...coax in and optical in. Maybe ill just try a cheap hdmi cable. Anyone have any success with an hdmi cable?

Can you even stream audio only via HDMI or is HDMI just for streaming video?
Hdmi is a combo of both which is why it became the standard over dvi....I'm on cm7 and I know people have had issues with hdmi out on their phone....I don't believe its supported in the rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Don't know why you would prefer a digital in when you don't have a digital out. Unless the analog audio coming out of the headset jack is really poor, or you have a really long run, the analog would be just fine.
Digital will always add noise. It's advantage is it's ability to keep it's integrity over long distances and is worth the trade off over analog in those cases. If the HDMI transmitted the original unaltered digital signal to the reciever, it might be a plus, however, that is most likely not the case. It is most likely being converted in the process a few times adding noise. Plus the stream from the internet is most likely not high quality anyway.
I'd go with the analog and call it a day.
Well thank you for an informed answer....that's what I was looking for.....I will be doing some shopping tomorrow. I appreciate everyones input!

I would like to use USB Thumb-Flash Drives like they are doing with the Nexus 7 with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It is the GT-P3113 using recent CM10 - Android 4.1.1. I have tried the USB connector as noted below to connect the tablet and with its OEM cord to a USB drive and does not work or recognize it. I have used other drives and have tried using Stickmount app. I have tried to search for specific info, found some post that the idea is possible but can't find any details how. I have seen a possible connector USB OTG but don't know the difference. Any details as to how would be much appreciated thanks.

You need a USB OTG cable (the gender changer may work, but im not sure it will enable host mode, the otg cable definitely does). You can get them for two pounds / dollars on ebay. I am using mine with a 32gb usb stick.

Just curious does the nexus 5 have properly functional usb org? I know the 4 had issues and I'm seriously considering this phone so I want to know going if it'll work.
Sent from my microwave...
couldn´t you care enough to write your request correct?
usb ORG ???
USB OTG? I assume?
It should. It was mentioned in the leaked service manual. It was supposed to be the in N4 but it wasn't powered so the device had to be powered itself which nearly defeats the purpose of having USB On-The-Go functionality. I am pretty sure Google wants this included.
That being said, I do not have the device yet. But I made the assumption myself that it will be a feature. I am planning on getting an USB OTG and a small HDD so I can interchange movies I want to watch.
If it doesn't have USB OTG, well even if it does, I might get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DR8LBAK...UTF8&colid=FM53JINJQWF5&coliid=I1XFD8MJC41TD0
I guess I believe native OTG will work, but I bought this http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower®-Wir...=1383381104&sr=1-1&keywords=ravpower+wireless just before the USB host "dirty" fix was engineered for N4. Very flexible--power bank, SD case and flash drive ports, broadcasts to mutliple devices/formats simultaneously, and allows web pass-thru when web Wi-Fi is available.

Interestingly, OTG isn't enabled by default in the kernel, so the stock kernel shipping out with the phone definitely doesn't have OTG support.

I hope that's the case and that it just isn't enable yet

Apparently it will not work running stock
Can anyone confirm that the Nexus 5 will support (out-of-the-box) digital audio out using a USB OTG cable? I'd like to connect the N5 to a DAC. I've seen it mentioned that KitKat will support this, but haven't actually heard first-hand accounts that it works, specifically with the N5.
Thanks!

I guess I'm the only one interested in connecting my phone to an external DAC. I ordered the N5 anyway and will test it out as soon as I receive it. I'll post back my results as soon as that happens.

I just saw this thread and I care deeply about this. First thing I did when I turned on my Nexus 5 today (after installing the required update, of course) was try my USB DACs, the hifimediy sabre and Fiio E07k.
Neither worked. When you plug them in, and have your headphones connected to the DAC, you hear a click. But then you go to play music, and the music comes out of the phone's speakers. I even tried putting the phone into debugging mode. No dice.
Did not try the USB Audio Recorder Pro App because I have no desire to use that clunky app, I simply want to easily use my USB DAC via OTG with my new Nexus 5 and after that leak a month ago from the Android 4.4 dump, my hopes got up. They have been dashed now.
hey guys,
Just plugged my E17 in and no go in google music. I'm assuming this means no 24 bit support in kit kat.
Thanks everyone. Unfortunate news. No USB audio and no aptX -- the N5 is not an audio lovers device!

Hi, if it's not to much of a hassle, can you try the e17 with usb recorder pro trial? i have an e17 and a nexus 5 but no otg cable. The suspense is killing me :crying:
To further confirm -- received my N5 yesterday. Hooked it up to my Audio-GD Compass DAC via USB OTG cable, and no dice. Phone detects nothing, and the music continues to play out of the horribly tiny built-in speaker. There's got to be some way to get a decent digital (or even line out?) signal from this phone??

My n5 works fine with my fiio e7 only with USB audio recorder.
I will ask to kernel devs if it is possible add usb audio support into mod kernels.
Bye.

Just wanted to bump this thread as I'm also very interested in getting my Nexus 5 to work with a USB DAC without the ridiculously designed UARP app.
I would also be interested in following what happens both with kernel support etc.
also interested in support for USB audio

FWIW I asked Faux and he said USB otg should be enabled by default on the N5. Are any of you powering the DAC with anything?

While USB OTG may be enabled by default (for mass storage use, etc.), there is no audio signal being output from the N5 when using a USB OTG cable. I'm using an externally powered DAC, fwiw.

I don't know if it works or not but USB audio output was merged with CM11.0 last by Cyanogen himself (Steve kondik).

So maybe it is a software thing.
Title says it all...STILL trying to play music via usb. Yes rooted using usb mass storage enable. Yes it charges the phone no music is played I get "cannot play" I have every cable you can think of run behind my dash including iPhone cables , and this standard usb cable is going to be useless if I can't use it for music..can't be this hard.
Nothing from anyone?
Does yours not have Bluetooth? That's how I play mine. Try a Bluetooth dongle if it doesn't.

Its not gonna work like that. You'll have to stream bluetooth or use an aux input. What model radio? I can give you the best solution.

I wish I knew off the top of my head..no not Bluetooth. Its a very good JVC radio though. usb and aux input.
I am a professional installer as well with over 10 years under my belt and I can tell ya if its not a new radio (less than6 months old or so ) it will not work. Only some radios support mtp and its usually brand new ones... if it doesnt work then it never will... use the aux input or get a new radio
I had no issues enabling usb mass storage on my S4 and playing with USB to my jvc... But no luck yet with my s5,kinda disappointing because the sound quality was so much better via usb
