Can Galaxy S8 / S8+ output to HDMI? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello!
Is the new galaxy phone capable of using a USB-C to HDMI adapter to mirror the screen on another screen? Couldnt really find any good information regarding this.
Looking forward to answers.

I read in several articles that the port does display port over usb c. So that should mean with a c to hdmi cable that it does up to hdmi 2a
Don't have the phone to check it for sure. It uses the dp over c to talk with the Dex dock. Which makes it frustrating that the dock only outputs hdmi.

If it works the same as the Note 7, then yes. There was an adapter that was required though.

Yes, it does. skip the video to 2:10

Is it possible to passthrough multichannel bitstream audio like dolby Digital, dts in 5.1 or 7.1? Over hdmi from kodi or vlc Player? Or Amazon Video and Netflix?

Has anyone found a way to send audio out as passthrough from usbc-hdmi ? Only way I can receive sound to my amp at the moment is stereo ! No 5.1/7.1 being output ! Would dex do that ? And also anyway to change ratio being output ? When playing a video from usnc-hdmi with mxplayer or kodi it's not full screen need a way to change aspect ratio like it is possible with wireless screencast !
If anyone got better luck than me please let me know as samsung support is absolutely helpless and don't even know what I'm talking about lol

Use smart view with a chrome cast or smart tv works a charm
Sent from my SM-G955F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

That's what I do but this way I can't cast high bit rate high quality files without stuttering / stop &go and the audio is not sent in 5.1 or 7.1

Does mirroring a 4K video from the Galaxy S8 to a 2016 KS9000 Samsung TV through Smart View will mirror in 4K quality or does it mirror in 1080P by default even though the video is in 4K resolution?

Depending on the app you use it will try mirroring in 4K and fails miserably as there's not enough bandwidth to do it and will continually be choppy and will pause and play in loop. Just limitations concurrent hardware I suppose.

Bump... anyone ? Any suggestion ?

I have tried the Type C to Display Port cable. It works, but just screen sharing. it doesn't get into dex mode.

https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/tv-audio-video/what-is-the-mhl-port/
Link indicates that only mhl ready hdmi ports can receive (and hence galaxy phones can output) uncompressed sound (5.1 or more). If I understand it correctly, it means normal hdmi ports can't get 5.1 through USB c to hdmi. Sad.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.
FYI, the audio would be really easy. You can just use the 3.5mm headphone jack with 2 RCA plugs on the other end, and audio is done.
Video... Not sure how that would work. Either way, that's 'composite' - so it'll look pretty awful.
You can get audio via the jack on top, and forget about Video, unless you use a really-expensive converter, as the HDMI video that comes out will be 540P YUV, whereas that composite input in your car is 480I Y/C.

I don't need Hi-Def video. I just want the Photon's Navigation displayed on my car's dash display.
How much is a converter and where can I get one?
Will a cable like this one below even display the video on my dash? How will it look?

You don't have component in (which that cable is). You have composite input to the stereo, you'll probably need some sort of converter while hoping that the phone doesn't require HDCP (I doubt it). Let us know!
Edit: Something like this might be exactly what you would need.

Phone HDMI Elgato Problem

So I have a Samsung Galaxy s10+ and for the past few months I've been trying to record the screen using an Elgato HD60S+ but I'm encountering many issues.
So when I plug in a 4k60hz USB C to HDMI cable to my Elgato I get a signal and it seems to work fine but the signal keeps disconnecting. It's very intermittent as 1 time I managed to record for 9min without any issues but other times it keeps disconnecting every few seconds or 30 seconds.
So I bought a USB C to HDMI Adapter thinking that could be the issue but it comes up with this

Doing more research I find out it might be a HDCP issue. So I bought a HDMI Splitter to get rid of the HDCP.
Now when I plug in the 4k60hz USB C to HDMI cable, it says connected to external monitor on my phone but I don't get an output.
However, when I use the adapter, it outputs to what seems to be 60hz on the monitor but the phone slows down to what seems to be 20fps.
Does anyone have any fix for this as I've spent quite a bit of money already and can't seem to find a solution anywhere. Thanks!

The screenshot provided clearly mentions the reason: 4K24 ( full frame at 24 FPS ) video format isn't supported.

That may not be supported but it has nothing to do with my phone as my phone is supposed to run at 60hz 2280x1080. So whatever that says doesn't make sense. Not to mention that when I use the HDMI Splitter the Adapter works but it slows my phone down.

Question HI-RES Audio 24 Bit

Hello,
When listening to music, my 24 bit Flac audio files are played down to 16 bits. This is the case with bluetooth headset, wired headset, and its own speaker. I tried many music players. (Samsung music, poweramp, jetaudio etc.) When I look at the developer options, the 24 Bit feature appears to be passive.
I am waiting for your help in this matter. I bought this phone because it has this feature. Otherwise I would buy Mi 11 lite. I hope I will not regret it.
This seems yo be the case with me too.
I would suggest not using Bluetooth as it cannot play hi-res files. Over aux however, I use Poweramp and changed the setting to hi-res output. Even so,my 24 bit FLAC files get downsampled to 16bit. The A52 as far as I know doesn't have a dedicated dac like LG phones used to. Since there isn't any information on samsung website. Qualcomm does mention that 720g comes with support.
An external DAC would work, but that inferres lugging around another piece of tech in your already bulky pocket.
Any help would be great!

Any new info on this matter? Im thinking of getting this phone and audio is a really important subject to me.
Does poweramp support hd playback on this device or is a external DAC required?
Bt isn't bandwidth capable of supporting 24 bit throughput.
UHQ Upscaler must be enable for hi res output via the C port. That toggle is found in Sound Assistant if you're using it and in Settings.

This post is a bit old but may help for people searching for Playback of High Resolution Audio.
I am using a FiiO BRT5 with LDAC Bluetooth Codec with Samsung Note10. Its has the highest throw power in wireless high resolution Audio.
Incase of any other brand of mobile phone or bluetooth headphones or amp, make sure ot supports LDAC on both end, LDAC was proprietary of Sony but its now supported by Android as well.
I saw something about Hi-Res audio being only played through the USB C port on USB C earphones and headsets? I think RayOS enabled it on the 3.5mm port too but I might be wrong.

In the end i got the phone, and yes, it tells me it's playing at 24 bit/192khz (using hi-res output, it can go further but i dont trust if it's really going that far and anything over 192khz it lowers the volume.)

Question P7P Chromecast with Google TV (4K) Question

I have my pixel 7 pro set for high resolution. If I buy one of the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) what resolution will the pixel 7 pro's screen be displayed on my 4k monitor? I want to use it with an ethernet hub, and run a mouse and keyboard, similar to Dex. I would like to hear from anyone running a like setup.
If you want ethernet, keyboard, mouse, etc., Google TV/Chromecast is not the right solution. You'd simply be casting your phone screen or app via Chromecast.
The closest alternative to you request is using a USB-C DiplayLink dock (like this https://www.mediagearpro.com/d1-w.html#/) with the DisplayLink Presenter app. I don't have any personal experience with it.
Project your Pixel phone's screen - Pixel Phone Help
If you have a Chromecast or other device that casts, you can mirror your Pixel phone's screen and audio on
support.google.com
I still need an answer, not display link. The DisplayLink thingy is only 2K and overpriced. I have a multi hub that provides 3 usb 3.0, for mouse and keyboard, and ethernet out. It has usbc that plugs into the phone. I'll put an ethernet dongle on the chromecast and connectivity is solved via router. My main concern is getting a high res picture on the screen, I still need to know If I buy one of the Chromecast with Google TV (4K) what resolution will the pixel 7 pro's screen be displayed on my 4k monitor?
Since the Pixel 7 Pro displays up to 2K resolution, I'm very sure that's what would be displayed on your 4K monitor.

My understanding of 2k is 2560×1440. The info I have on the Pixel 7 Pro's resolution is 3120X1440, not 4k but you need more than standard 2k to put it onscreen. That would still be crispy on the 3840X2160 display. Still looking for someone with a Chromecast with Google TV (4K) who can tell me what it will do. I hate Googles business model, full of sales hyperbole and little meaty information. Nowhere have I found an answer, that's why I'm hoping for some input from someone who owns one of these.

I don't have any 4K monitors, but I have my 4K TV. Given the information shown at the bottom left of these two photos, and that I didn't notice any obvious resolution switch, I believe the TV stays in 2160p mode.
Spoiler: First photo is just casting from my phone:

Hope this helps. Perhaps there was some other place for me to show what resolution it was in, such as in Chromecast's interface. I didn't think of it until after I re-removed the batteries from my TV remote.

Question USB-C to HDMI doesn't work – blank screen….

Hello, why do 2 different USB-C-to-HDMI cables NOT deliver any signal to the beamer? I used 2 brandnew cables (from Anker resp. Warrky), but the screen remains blank, as if nothing had been connected. On the other hand, this Full-HD-Beamer easily shows signals from sat-receiver (HDMI to HDMI), DSLR (USB-A to HDMI) and laptop (display port to HDMI).
Connecting the Pixel 7 Pro via USB-C-to-HDMI directly to the beamer (not to a HDMI multi-plug), I see these messages on the Pixel 7 Pro, that don't seem as expected (re-translated to English by me):
- attached device charged via USB (while the cable description says, "no charging possible")
- device controlling the USB connection: Connected Device (meaning the beamer obviously)
There is no change possible, for instance it's not possible to set "This Device" (the Pixel 7 Pro) as controlling device. Also the use for the USB connection (like file transfer, USB tether etc.) can't be changed at all. It is all grayed out and fixed to "PTP" (picture transfer protocol), which seems not to make sense?
According to data sheets, the Pixel 7 Pro has USB-C 3.2 Gen. 2 – and according to the cables' descriptions, with this the signal should go from mobile to beamer.
Do you have any idea? Are there other devices, perhaps even wireless? Thanks!
PS. I mainly would view mobile photos and Youtube videos. Audio would be transferred on a separate Bluetooth connection.
The phone doesn't support it. You can only use a displaylink device and it's a ****ty experience.
The pixel 8 will include displayport and should support HDMI adapters.

You could use a Chromecast for that, and they are inexpensive. I think you would need to send audio from your projector (I think that's what you mean by "beamer") though.
I was disappointed a phone in this price point didn't include MHL.
I use an hdmi adapter bought from best buy called ( J Create Adapter). App on playstore.
Best $29 adapter with unnoticeable latency..

Hi all, thanks for clarifying info, photos + screens!
It's disappointing indeed that you can't use a simple USB-C to HDMI adapter.
I will look at Chromecast and at that Best Buy adapter, if i do get it in my territory.
Yes, with "beamer" i meant projector.
Anyone knows if there is a change that Google enable a kind of desktop mode on pixel 7 pro if the 8 does support it? From what I understood the hardware can support it but it misses something in USB driver am I right? Or I'm dreaming and will be forced to switch to the 8 to get the feature?
