Help USB Audio Headphones via OTG - Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I recently got a new pair of headphones for Christmas. The Sony Wireless Headset 2.0 and it works amazingly with my PS4.
I was wondering if anybody knew how I could pair these headphones up with my Ascend Mate 7. The headphones connect to the ps4 wirelessly via a USB dongle. I have an OTG cable and plugging the dongle into my phone does power on the dongle as the lights come on. However no audio is passed to the headset.
Using the trial version of the following app: USB Audio Player PRO
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.extreamsd.usbaudioplayerpro
Allowed me to listen to music over my headphones but only to audio from this music player. So I know that it is possible to receive sound over the earphones via OTG, but I want to be able to use my headphones for gaming too. So I need to find a way to channel all sound out to the headphones.
Thanks in advance

[Q] Listen TV on BT Headset via the One S

Hello !
I have a TV, an HTC One S and a Bluetooth headset. I would like to use the BT Headset with the TV but it doesn't have Bluetooth feature.
I was thinking about connecting the TV and the phone with à Jack cable (Using in this way the HTC's Jack plug in "input Mode") and I would like the phone to transfer the sound via bluetooth to the Wireless Headset.
Do you think it is something possible ?
Thank you very much for your help.

[Q] How to enable Audio output via 2.5mm jack and Bluetooth

Hi All,
After much searching for this simple request, how to enable Audio output to the headphone / 2.5mm audio jack and output to bluetooth speakers at the same time.
This is not a request how to get music to play on bluetooth mono headphones etc.
I am wanting to have my Nexus 5 plugged into the speakers and amp in one room, then also have my UE Boom in the next room playing audio via bluetooth.
As soon as I plug in the speakers via the jack, the bluetooth sound output is muted.
Going into Bluetooth settings and unticking music and then ticking music starts audio playing via bluetooth but stops audio via 2.5mm jack.
Any settings I need to know about? Apps or custom ROMs to do this simple feature.
Think of this as a keep playing to speakers when headphones are plugged in. Possible in Ubuntu, is it possible on Android?
Many Thanks,
Rob.

Just to bump the thread, as I know how fast paced the Nexus 5 forum is, and I have waited 10 days before re-asking.
Anyone with information that could help?
Many Thanks,

USB audio

Hey I heard with lollipop we would have USB audio. When I connect my nexus 5 to my car through a USB cable and play some music it doesn't play from the car speakers. Whereas an iPhone was able to play music. Any help on how to make it work would be appreciated.
Probably your car audio needs a software upgrade to work with Android devices/L's USB DAC support.
Your car is looking for a file system, android USB audio is providing stream not a file system so this probably wont work unless the deck can emulate a small sound card or something to accept the input.

GROM USB Audio out works with my Verizon Note 4. Kinda.

So I just purchased a GROM Audio Honda Acura 03+ USB Android iPod Bluetooth AUX adapter( SKU: HON1U3 )
http://www.gromaudio.com/store/usb_...uetooth_adapter_direct_digital_interface.html
With both the Bluetooth and USB AUX adapter it came to a pricey $229.96. What I got for that price is:
Bluetooth media and headphone profiles
USB out via AALinQ Car Music Player
OK Google Hotword still works
Con's:
You have to load your media into the AALinQ application to get it to play via USB, that means no Google Play music over USB, and all system sounds aren't automatically sent to the USB audio like with the Note 3 and previous Galaxy devices.
You don't get track titles etc via Bluetooth at least with my Note 4 on my '08 Acura MDX and the GROM connected to my XM 2 Sat input on the stock head unit.
I'm getting a weird slight crackle when audio stops and starts playing via Bluetooth, I think this is because the Grom adapter is connecting and disconnecting USB audio to the head unit, I got the same crackle when connecting my MHL USB audio connector when the car head unit was on.
Pro's:
The nice thing is that unlike a dedicated MHL USB connector which is the other way to get USB audio out on the Note 4 you aren't blocking your microphone while connected
You are charging. which I hadn't got working with USB to MHL.
Just thought this might be useful to those of us who don't have A2DP built into our car stereo's. GROM is compatible with hundreds and hundreds of vehicles, just use the Browse by auto make selector at http://www.gromaudio.com/index.html
I don't work for GROM, I paid for my unit myself, wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps one of you.
Oh and according to their FAQ the charge you're getting is 1A 5V http://www.gromaudio.com/support/usb-faq.html

Can Android Act as a Bluetooth Receiver?

Hello everyone!
I have a DAC connected to the TV, with headphone jack (3.55mm). Up until now - I connect the headphones directly to it, but recently I have been thinking about going Wireless. There's all kind of devices that connect into 3.5mm jack, and broadcast the audio over Bluetooth. That being said, I don't have Bluetooth headphones, and want to keep using the wired headphones (just without running a long cable). I was thinking perhaps using my Android phone as a bridge. Pair my Android device into that Bluetooth Device, and connect the headphones to my Phone. Will that work? I know for sure that android can act as Transmitter (playing Audio from your Phone to remote bluetooth speaker), but can an Audio received from Bluetooth be played into the headphones?
Thank you!
