Hi Guys!
I have just got my Galaxy S6 a couple of days ago and i have hit a bit of a problem.
In my car I have an ibolt cable that connects to the charger and aux input of the car and the micro usb port of the phone.
With this I get both charging and audio with one cable.
This worked flawlessly with my S4, I only had to go to accessories -> Dock settings and enable audio out through micro usb. (that was on kitkat)
Now with the S6 running lollipop there is no such settings, I have understood that lollipop supports it because in developer options there is a box for: Prevent usb audio routing, But that is unchecked.
I have tried som apps from play store but none of them have worked and the sound only goes through the phone speaker (Though it enables dock mode when i connect the cable)
I have also been in contact with the swedish Samsung support center but that is another funny story, resulting in me only getting more frustrated
So does anyone knows if this problem is solvable?

Hi guys,
I think this questions was already asked for every other phone but i'm not sure if you can tranfer the answers.
basically what i would need is a scheme of the pins of the micro-usb port like in the samsung sound station dock.
i want to built an adapter (micro-usb) to usb (for charging) and 3,5mm headphone jacks (for listening to music) for my i9100.
you can also buy them but i'm not sure if they work with the i9100 aka if theres a universal standard for the pin scheme.
would i also need to put the phone into a special mode with an resistor to play music over usb?
any help is appreciated
thx in advance and best regards,

You have to make sure the dock is on bt input. Then go in Settings/wireless/bluetooth to pair your device with the dock. Then in ur music app you should be able to send audio to bluetooth...

Facing BT connection problems
Hi,
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Alpha and along came the Wireless Audio Doc DA F560. Ever since then I have been trying to connect the phone to the audio dock through bluetooth but my phone is just not recognizing the audio dock (DA F560) at all. I can connect my phone to other bluetooth devices (and to another wireless audio dock device from JBL as well). Also, when I try to play music from my phone on the "Docking" mode, I have the same issue. The music is only playing from the phone and not the audio dock. The only thing that seems to be working is the USB mode - I tried playing songs from my USB in the USB mode and it played well. The bluetooth and the docking mode don't seem to be working at all. Has anyone come across a similar issue? Does anyone have a fix for this, please?
thanks

This is actually incredible. Before upgrading to Lollipop on Galaxy S5 I was able to plug my DAC (a Dragonfly 1.2) via USB OTG cable into my Galaxy S5 and enjoy pristine usb audio without a single hint of a problem - all apps working - MX Player, Inbuilt Music App, Poweramp etc - all working perfectly.
Then I upgrade to Lollipop, which is supposed to be great for USB Audio, and it doesn't work any more. At all. I am now back to using an app called USB Audio Player Pro, which allows you to use DAC audio devices to connect to headphones and (thank god!) this still works awesomely, but I was really enjoying all my apps making use of my USB audio device and now that has just been screwed over by the update.
There was so much pleasure in just plugging in a usb audio device into the phone via an OTG cable and everything working great, but now I just fall on my knees and shake my fists in the air bellowing "WWWHHHHYYYYYYY??!!!!"
Has this affected anyone else ? I've restarted, factory reset since the update and googled the crap outta this and all I can find are people saying "Yay! USB Audio functionality has been added with Lollipop".
From my perspective, this appears to be balls.
I'll happily downgrade back to the older android OS if its possible just to get this one happy function back.
Hi I think you should ask your question here instead. There are lots of active people in that forum that will give you some answers and hopefully a solution.
thank you and good luck
Hi all,
with the web overflowing ~30 years after it's invention I can't g**gle this...
UPDATE 1: restored the S4 to a stock Android 5.0.1. Settings > My Device > Accessories > enable "Audio Output Mode" => Plays music through the dock's jack allright => Conclude: must be somehting with Lineage. Will try a more recent AOSP-10 based rom later...
/UPDATE1.
UPDATE2: tried with an AOSP 10 based HavocOS version. Doesn't work, Options are the same as in the LOS based ROM. => is there no non-stock rom out there supporting the damn samsung docks!?
/UPDATE2
UPDATE3: now raised this question in the Samsung S4 Q+A forum; please excuse the double-posting; mods may close this here (but please don't delete as I didn't take the full details over)
Audio through "Mulitmedia Dock" 3.5mm jack?
Hi all, tl;dr: how to make a Samsung dock work like in stock 5.0.1 years ago with any more recent custom rom? I can't get my I9506 to route audio through the dock except if I use the old stock rom. (Note: posted this question with a few details...

/UPDATE3.
-- original post below --
tl;dr: how to get 3.5mm audio jacks on Samsung docking stations to work?
I have two devices, Samsung Tab 2 and Galaxy S4 (yes, old, but for what I'd like to do still what you want for "no money").
For each I have an original Samsung Docking Station ("Desktop Dock EDD-D1E2BE" and "Multimedia Dock EDD-S20EWE", respectively), each with a 3.5mm audio jack at the back.
EDIT:
- The Tab2's station is "stupid", i.e. it only splits out the (30pin?) connector into the data / power lines (keeping the same plug / connector geometry) and the audio leads. No chips inside that dock.
- The S4's dock contains a usb hub (3 Ports), HDMI connector, and the audio jack and micro-USB port. Several chips inside. Not sure if there's anything like a USB-connected audio chip ("DAC"?) in there, would have to get the glued PCB out to get some understanding (maybe). So here LOS might need some sort of "driver" to talk to the audio DAC and then the jack?
/EDIT.
The Tab 2 runs a dated Lineage 14.1 (Android 7.1.2), and the S4 (ks01ltexx) a more recent LOS 18.1 / Android 11.
Want to use media apps (radio streaming ...) to send audio output through that jack to our living room amp. Yes, I could plug the 3.5mm audio cable into the device's own jack, but that's ugly as hell. Plus, want to be able to take the device (which wouldn't matter in the end, happy to get one combo to work) out of the dock, select the stream etc, and once it plays (then through the crappy device's speakers) set the device back into the cradle and have it re-route through the rear jack - without plugging a cable.
Doesn't work in either, and I can't find any related options in the settings / get it to work.
On the LOS 14.1, there's Settings > Sounds > Other Sounds > Dock-Speaker (?) (translating from my system language here, might not be fully correct) where there's two options "All Audio Sources" and "Only Audio Sources from Media" (wording doesn't really make sense, also not in my native language). Neither does change anything.
Also on the LOS 14.1, in the Developer Options, there is the selection for the "USB Configuration" offering "charging", "MTP", "PTP", "RNDIS", "Audio Source", and "MIDI". None of them does the trick, and "MIDI" can be selected but is never realy "set", i.e. it reverts back to what was set before when entering this option screen again.
In the LOS 18.1, "Audio Source" and "MIDI" aren't there, I have "file transfer" (I think that's MTP in earlier versions), "USB tethering", "PTP", "no data transfer" (which would be "charge only" I think).
On both, another developer option is "disable USB audio routing", which is switched off (so it should allow to route USB audio to the dock I would expect).
All these options in various combinations make no difference on either device. Also, I'd think that making it work should be possible even without any dev options.
Is there's a general issue with docking stations, audio and LOS? Have been through various versions over the years with the Tab 2 and occasionally re-tested the dock/jack thing - never worked, but never really looked into it. Only thing not tried is to go back to a stock samsung FW (which would be an Android 5.0 or so for the galaxy S4, possibly even worse for the Tab2).
Q: is it generally possible to enable the sound via the docks? Anyone using similar combinations with any LOS or other ROM?
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
I'm having this weird problem where i connect a usb-c device (Electronic piano in this case , Yamaha E737) - The sound is disabled on the tablet. No matter what app i use, there is just no sound, even when trying to connect earphones - no sound.
I tried using an advice from this forum - Going into developer mode and disabling some kind of USB auto sound routing - but this didnt help either.
Help would be much appreciated.
