I don't think that is possible, the media is running on what device? so let me get this clear, you want the to use the phone as a speaker by connecting the phone to an HDMI cable? I don't think it's possible. You can use phone as a speaker connected to a PC, just load the media to a laptop connect the laptop to the TV using hdmi, set the audio such a way that audio is played on laptop speaker and then use this https://www.ilovefreesoftware.com/04/android-2/how-to-use-android-phone-as-pc-speakers.html
to make it play on the phone, I can't guarantee it will work or not but you can try. I did the above stuff yesterday to play my media on TV but connected the laptop's sound to a BT speaker, here instead of a BT speaker you are using a phone that's the difference I see

[Q] connecting USB headphones to microUSB

ok so if i would like to connect my USB headphones (logitech G35)
to ANY android device/tablet that has a microUSB port, how would i accomplish that? (if it is even possible..)
p.s or if not, can it be somehow connected to a 3.5mm jack in?

Not sure about the USB part, but how much experience do you have a soldering iron?
AFAIK, this is not possible with the current Android Operating systems, however it might be possible with future platforms supporting the new Android Open Accessory support.
edit : As for connecting a standard 3.5mm jack, you should be able to do this if you bypass the USB sound card part and connect it directly to the wires coming out of the headphones. But depending on the headphones the USB soundcard circuitry (where the signal is converted from Digital to Analog) could be inside the headphones, somewhere in the middle of the cable or in the USB plug itself; you have to figure out where it is and attach the audio jack to the wires after the soundcard (where the signal is analog).

[Q] projector won't recognize note 10.1

I purchased and connected the cables (samsung hdtv adapter and an hdmi to vga adapter) and the projector won't recognize my tablet. Is there anything I need to do on my Note 10.1 to make it acceptable to the projector? Hoped to use it to show a video for a charity fundraiser.

could be that the hdmi/vga cable might not work with the tablet. does the pj have an hdmi input? i'd assume no or you might have tied that already. check the set up on a monitor to verify that the cable will work with the adapter.
Is the HD?MI adaptor being powered? The HMI adaptors for other Samsung devices required they were plugged in to either power or a usb port.
part of the solution

That was the problem. I was too anxious and didn't read the directions about plugging into a power source. Thanks!
Now the problem is that I can't get the audio to work. The stereo cable that came with the hdmi to vga adapter won't work with the projector. I'll run out to Radio Shack tomorrow to see if they have one that works. BUT, is there any way to get the tablet to play the audio or play through my bluetooth Rockdoc speaker instead of going through the projector? Seems as soon as I plug in to the projector I lose the audio. Wish there were a way to work around that. Any suggestions?
please

could tell me please the hdmi to vga adapter exactly with the manufacturing code, there is a lot of staff on the market and I am pretty sure not all of them are working, thanks
Works!

Actually, I got everything to work just fine. The speaker on the projector was pretty lame so I used speakers attached to my tablet and they worked just great!
got the same problem.

while it may not take advantage of any extras the software for it may provide, i imagine it should work. I have not tested it but i have an OTG cable for my sony tablet S and both my wireless mouse and wireless headset work with it just fine. (the otg cable for the tablet s doesn't fit in other devices that's why I can't test on this phone with it)

Did you get the headset working as expected? I am considering the same thing, buying a wireless USB headset that I want to use for Skype on PC and Skype on Android as well if possible.

USB Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter

My issue
Hi everyone, I have a Nexus 6P and want to route my audio through a USB type C converter to 3.5mm headphone Jack. I have purchased one online, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have seen that the Moto Z has this adapter and I assumed one I found online would be compatible with my 6P. The reason I want to do this is because I prefer for the AUX jack to come out the bottom of my phone.
What I have tired
Changed 'Select USB Configuration' to all the different options and tried playing music.
Tried 'audio routing' apps from the app store
What I would like to know
Is this because I need to change a setting in my phone to route music out of the USB C?
Do I need to get some kind of DAC to allow support for this?
Has anyone else tried this with their phone?
Thanks

If you don't mind my asking, why bother?

One reason is that to me it makes more sense to put your phone upside down into you pocket. I've always done this at least. So when listening to music I have to put it the other way round. I have also heard the USB C port offers better sound quality.

Re:sound quality, you'd possibly see a quality increase if you use an external Digital to Analogue Converter or fully usb-c headphones. BUT, if you're using a little dongle (if it's possible), then the phone is still managing the analogue conversion and, thus, a very similar quality of audio output. Now I don't know of the 6p's ability to pipe it straight out iPhone 7 style through a dongle, but short of buying a DAC and going whole-hog on an audio upgrade, I'd just flip your phone the other way in your pocket and go the standard route.
Just my $.02
I have been looking for a solution to this too and I seem to have found one. I poked around on Amazon and I think I finally found adapters that work, here's the link https://goo.gl/QT2ith This the only one with positive reviews so when it comes in on the 30th I'll let all of you know.

Looks quite similar to the one that I got. Hopefully it works for you! Let me know how it goes
I read recently that the current implementation of audio over USB-C isn't very efficient or battery friendly. There's a new spec being ratified to provide audio like the iphone can. Hopefully that's a firmware change and not a hardware one.

I don't think it's possible on the 6P, not without using a USB DAC anyway.
As far as I'm aware, the adapter you have is for a USB 3/3.1 interface. While the 6P has USB-C it is USB 2.
I'm able to get audio out of my USB C port, but it's with a USB headset. Haven't tried it with a 3.5mm headphone adapter, but havd no reason to try it either.
This is weird. Because i have a pair of Sennheiser Urbanites (Wireless edition), and i can use bluetooth, aux, and usb (like for a computer) audio. I once tried to turn off the headsets (bluetooth off, aux and usb still works if connected), and turned off bluetooth on my phone. Then i used my USB type C to USB type A Female adapter (from the google store), and connected the usb-cable from the headsets into the type c adapter. it did output audio through the usb-cable.

Bluetooth headphones usually have their own DAC, so the audio for all but the Aux is still being sent through the DAC first, which is supported by older USB standards.
The new USB 3.1 Audio standard can pass through analogue audio from the internal DAC, which is what I believe phones such as the Moto Z utilise. Otherwise the adapter would require it's own DAC, which would make it far larger and more expensive.
Not sure if you will find a good solution at the moment since they just created a standard for audio over usb c http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160927006252/en/USB-IF-Announces-USB-Audio-Device-Class-3.0
Did the amazon converter end up working for you?
My experience so far.
Hi, I ordered some usb c to 3.5mm & out of the box so far they aren't working. I tried Neutron and tried to force the audio to usb but unsuccessfully with phone not recognizing the USB connection.
On the other hand the type C to usb-a adapter worked beautifully using mixplorer. If I get working, will update. Thanks.

USB DAC and USB Mic

So, I have an interesting issue. I think it is a deep seated Android one, so I'm not liking my chances but......
Setup:
Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ ---> Dell WD15 USB dock (I have also tried a plain old USB-C Hub)
Android 11, with latest updates possible.
When I connect my USB DAC (a Grace SDAC) which connects to my headphone amp - it works perfectly. Android shows the DAC in 'media' as a "Headset"
When I connect my ModMic Wireless microphone's USB dongle, the DAC stops working and switches to the tablets internal speakers
When I connect a 3.5mm mic to the doc's headset 3.5mm jack the DAC stops working and switches to the tablets internal speakers
Some apps dont seem to work with the modmic wireless. Some dont work unless I plug in the USB dongle while the app is running - That's app problems, I get that
All Apps seem to support using the mic via the 3.5mm jack.
The opposite is also true, if I have a mic connected (USBor 3.5mm) then connect the DAC, the DAC works, but the mic stops and switches to the tablet internal mics.
What I seem to have found is that it is impossible, in android, to use both a USB DAC and any kind of microphone.
Has anyone had this kind of thing working before? Is there something I can do/try? are there logs or something I can look at which might help here?
I'd love to get this working, but I dont think thats possible... I would like to know why or see some real detail behind why it won't work..
Thanks!!
