Is there a way, without have the home or car dock from Samsung, to get the audio to come out via the USB port?
I have tried both Car Home and Desk Home apps (also both the ones that came pre-installed on Bionix V and the Version 2 ones from the market) and I see no setting to enable audio through the USB port. Is there some "trigger" that gets fired when plugged into a Samsung dock that enables the USB audio port?

Sorry for the cross-post but check out Post 63 and Post 64 in the Captivate Audio out through USB (car dock) thread.
I don't think it has been validated, pretty much just speculation at the moment.
Well, that is not exactly what I am talking about.
My car reciever has a USB plug that I can hook up the phone with.
I can charge my phone but I cannot get it to play any of the music on my phone. My reciever states that there are no tracks.
A little more complex would be to have actual audio routed through the USB port like if I had the official sammy docks. I do not have a dock.
I suspected that we could just flip a bit here or there to get audio out through the USB (not just use the phone as USB storage for the mp3 files).

I have been looking for a way to plug my phone into the USB of my car deck and no luck!
I hope there's a way...

Hey everyone,
I'm having problems when connecting the thunderbolt to my Sony usb stereo. It asks me what I want to do and I choose charge only but it doesn't charge.
I use to have the Droid X and it worked fine on the stereo.
Anyone having the same problem?
Any hints or tips for this?

Your deck usb port might not provide enough power for the thunderbolt...but might have for the droid x. The usb addon for my pioneer never worked for charging when I had it installed. Just read flash dives, but that's just my two cents on the problem...could be something else.

I know some devices (like my Motorola dumb phone) will not charge over generic USB power (power and ground only), but if you use a USB "Data blocker" (grounded data pins) some of them will charge. This may be the same way... or it could be the whole requires more than just 5V to initiate charge without detecting data (meaning a PC connection).
You could try placing some MP3s on your SD card and tell your radio to "play" the usb drive and set the phone to automatically mount as a drive. That may do it, if not, look into the grounded out USB cable.
I just installed a lighter receptacle behind the stereo and ran up a car charger (not a usb charger) through the back of the dash to the car dock.
I was able to get the phone to charge via the USB port on my kenwood deck, but it was USB power, and discharged faster than it could charge.
It now reports charging AC, and charges normally. Cost $6 at radio shack.
I just tapped into the positive and negative wires that were already going to the original 12v lighter.
I'm actually having a reverse problem. My phone charges in my car stereo's USB slot, but the receiver doesn't recognize it as a USB drive. The phone doesn't even notice there's a USB connection, even though it's charging.
Oh well. It has AUX too so, no problem really.

I have the same problem, but I suspect that's because of that stupid "Verizon Mobile" virtual CD on the phone. I bet that's what your deck sees and can't find any music.
If anyone knows how to get rid of that partition without rooting the phone, I'd like to know.
In my case I have to use the Bluetooth connection. That works, but it doesn't give me the song information on the deck. Might have to revert to an old iPod for our music in the car.

With my old Incredible, my car stereo acted differently. It would see the phone and the phone would ask me to go into disk mode. After a few moments of scanning, the receiver would say "Invalid Media". I was also on CM7 for a little and I was actually able to get the receiver to play music thought it.
It's a Pioneer DVD player.. Unfortunately with the Thunderbolt, it doesn't do any of the abolve. It just says "No Device" and the phone doesn't even do anything except charge. Doesn't ask me to mount.
Okay I found a solution. I believe the problem was the Verizon crap that ran when plugged in. I installed The Perfect Storm Rom and now its charging fine.

Hi. I am going to be buying a car CD player that has an auxiliary connection. Tired of using an fm tuner with so much interference around. Went to the store to get one and saw some players have a USB slot on them. Can I use this slot with my vibrant to charge it as well a play music through it. Should I cough up the extra dough for it or will it be useless with my phone. should I just get a cheaper one with just an aux connector.
Thanks
I'm not entirely sure that a usb through an audio interface will give you a recharge current,
I think the usb connection will only transfer audio though I could be wrong

What you could do is use your current charger (should have a usb side) and plug it into a display head unit to see if it charges
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
You *should* be able to use USB to essentially have your phone look like a USB flash drive. But some units don't like the vibrant and therefore won't work. Also, most head units follow a USB spec to the letter, meaning it more than likely won't charge your.phone very well due to there not being enough current output to compensate for your phone's current drain.

Does anyone have any experience with a MHL adapter that will charge your phone and also provide analog audio? I would like to make my own car dock with one.
The "iKross MHL micro-USB to VGA Display and Stereo Audio Adapter" on amazon is pretty much what I need, but am unsure if it will work with the EVO LTE.
It's really unfortunate Sprint/HTC opted to get rid of the charging/audio pins on the back of the ONE X when designing the EVO.
you can still use the 3.5mm headphone jack as an audio out even with the MHL streaming out via HDMI. It tried it with my headset and my monitor. Works great

I've been looking for a similar solution. I'd wager that the adapter you mentioned is compatible. MHL is a standard and I'd very be surprised if the GNexus (as listed on the product page) worked, but the EvoLTE didn't.
I have an aux jack and charging port in my glove box, and for years I've just been using both USB and audio cables which dangle out of the box. I don't think I need a car dock (my car already has GPS), but just having one less cable (like those old iPod car adapters which split out analog audio) will be quite nice.
If you're nervous about buying it, I expect I'll pull the trigger on this in the next week or so, and I can report back.
I'd like to find a black or gray version, though. White cables are garish.
Exactly. I never bother with my phone because of all the wires being a hassle. Just looking for a more elegant/convenient solution I can just set my phone in. Might try to hack the MHL adapter and HTC car dock together, though I wish the car dock wasn't so unnecessarily bulky.
Just picked up the belkin Bluetooth today and hooked it to RCA inputs. Got an app that connects Bluetooth when the power cable is connected and turns it of when its not.works great So far. So now I'm down to just power cable .

Or a generic micro-usb to 3.5mm adapter with a micro-usb Y?

has anyone tried this yet? I'd be interested in its compatibility with the car dock as well as how the quality is. With the car dock and the headphone jack I'm getting lots of feedback and static.
I've order the iKross MHL adapter and the parts necessary to assemble the custom cable. I will report back if the iKross adapter works. If it does work, I may not assemble the custom cable. If the iKross adapter does not work, I will assemble the custom cable and post results.
The iKross MHL adapter came in today, and it does work on the Evo 4G LTE. However, the sound is so terrible that I cannot recommend it to anyone for this application, and I will be sending the adapter back. It seems to only pass low frequencies to the 3.5mm jack, so much of the audio signal is lost. The audio is very low quality compared to the built-in 3.5mm jack. I will be trying the custom cable now, once I get all of the parts I need.
Is there anyway to output audio through the usb port and into a set of ear buds? Like a micro usb to headphone jack adapter? I hate having the audio jack on top and would love to use the bottom usb port instead.

I dont know of a actual stand alone adapter for this, but, if you get a samsung car dock, infuse dock for example, the bottom piece should route the audio.
That piece of the dock plugs into the usb port and that piece has both 3.5mm aux and the usb so you still can charge. I havent tried, but a usb extension cable should allow it to still work without having to plug the bulky adapter directly into the phone.
Thats the only option ive found so far.
I would like to see this more often...Apple has so many great docks where you can charge your device while outputting audio. I wish Android had more support for this.
I've read that some of the usb type C to 3.5 jack adapter are working now with a proper DAC, but I can't find a splitter that works for our HTC's or even for Pixel 2. People mention dongles made by certain companies, but I head to their websites and there's nothing available...
Can anyone help me find a viable splitter to charge and use headphones at the same time? I'm getting desperate, to be honest...
Thanks!
I have also tried several usb type c hubs but could not find one that works with htc headphones unfortunately.
I ended up buying an Bluetooth receiver to plug my headphones into when I need to charge too.
Not ideal but it works for me

Hey, that doesn't sound bad to me. I've never tried anything like that, though. Could you send me a link to your receiver or tell me any reference to start searching? Thanks in advance!

Look for a Bluetooth Receiver that supports wired headphones, i.e. it has a 3.5mm audio out socket.

Hi guys,
still trying to figure this out. I hope you can help me with this idea. All I want is charge and use headphones at the same time :
If I plug this hub (or similar one) to my U Ultra's usb port https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32846535696.html?trace=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail&productId=32846535696&productSubject=USB-C-Hub-USB-C-HDMI-Ethernet-Adapter-for-Macbook-Pro-Thunderbolt-3-Type-C-Hub
And then use this adapter (with DAC integrated) into the usb c of the hub: https://m.es.aliexpress.com/item/32832480232.html.
Will it work? Or the DAC needs to be placed exactly in the usb out of the phone? I'd really appreciate the help.
For these hubs to provide charging you need to connect the charger in the type c port of the hub which is marked with the lightning sign. To connect the 3.5 mm adapter you will need another adapter from usb type a male to type c female. Such adapters exsist but when i tried to connect the htc type c headphones via the hub and such adapter they were simply not detected by the phone so i doubt that the 3.5mm adapter will also work in such configuration.

If I decided to go for Bluetooth earphones... Any will do, am I right? No DAC thing to be worried about, I guess...

That's it, exactly. Take any BT headset you like and can afford, they have the DAC already built in.
