Does anyone know if there is any way to connect a USB microphone or other audio input to a Gtablet?
I would love to use it for an easy onsite recording device for a few things, but teh onboard mic isn't the best for what I need.
I would love to use a Blue Microphones Icicle USB device and a studio condenser mic or wireless clip on for different applications.
Does it exist, or can drivers be written for it?
The Icicle works with ASIO4all drivers as well if that helps...
Does nobody have any input on this?
Even if it's not possible, or just plain difficult and requires a huge amount of expertise with the specific hardware, anything to get me on the right path.
do need mick jack or usb mike headset drivers capability
old thread, yep
since prices for gtab seem to have fallen,
(amazon this date)
I am interested in this tab.
Looking for economical tab that uses headset with mic and will run netflix no problem.
Hi all and Thanks
As far as I know, no ROM available for the G-Tablet is able to support a USB mic. I've tried audio interfaces with mine on both GTabComb and Vegan5.1.1, and neither worked.
I think that Android 3.2 is supposed to be able to support a pretty wide variety of USB devices, but it isn't available for the G-Tablet.

The stereo in my car supports Ipods and Iphones via USB. The stereo recognizes the Apple devices and lets you browse the media through the stereo itself - fully cataloged. You can also use Pandora and other music software through the USB port.
When I plug my Photon into the USB port, the only thing that works is browsing the media stored locally on the phone as a USB drive. I can't stream Pandora through the USB port.
Any way around this? Any way to emulate an Iphone?

I have a nice Sony HD Radio receiver, it doesn't support bluetooth. I don't want to spend a bunch of money replacing it.

Assuming the stereo has the ability to hook one in...not to mention that, they are stupid expensive in a lot of cases.
But onto the actual question, no - there is no way to emulate an iOS device. The cable for an iDevice has several extra pins, which include Audio Out - ours doesn't in the USB connector at least.

That makes sense to me. I guess the standard audio-out jack will have to do.
Thanks!
AVRCP 3.0 will have some of what you are looking for in regards to transfering current song info over to the HU. The driver is already built by BlueZ i think it is (which ever the open source driver android uses) so its just a matter of getting it in android. Maybe ICS?
For Audio its either BT or audio jack. You can also access anything on the USB partition (some support multiple devices) but some HU do not index things corectly (my eclipse will not put things in alphabetical order arggggg) so its luck of the draw.
Plus there are more HU coming out including ones now coming WITH android.
Hi..
I have a question on how to get a external microphone to work on my Galaxy Nexus.
For further detail see my full description here:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...rophone-on-my-galaxy-nexus-to-video-recording
Tried to ask in the Galaxy Nexus forum, but no one answered me, and i think the question is also relevant for other phones as well. Thats why i have posted here...
Really hope someone can help me
Thanks
I have found the solution myself...
Look here if you need it too:

which mic do you have?
Use of Ext. Mic on Android when Recording Video [SOLVED]
External Microphones and Video Recording.
The existing thread discussed the solution to the general question of using an external microphone with a combo jack. I however ran into a related problem when I tried to use an external microphone when recording video with the standard camera app.
As noted in the thread above, the first step is using a splitter adapter which splits the signal into two distinct ports - one that can be used for a microphone input connection (mono), and the other for stereo output to a headphone. I used a StarTech MUYHSMFF adapter that cost about $8.00 (US). :good:
This solution worked for straight audio recording as I could indeed record audio. But the solution failed when I tried to record video. Obviously, this meant that the problem was a software problem either in the camera app or in Android itself, as opposed to a hardware problem.
The Asus technical support person suggested that I try a new camera app. I download and tried seven or eight camera apps to no avail. Asus support then suggested that it was a problem in Android and said that I would just have to wait until there was a new version and hope that the problem was addressed.
As I bought my tablet primarily to record and edit video segments, I was not satisfied with this answer.
After an ungodly long search, I came across a site that stated that the IgCamera App was the only camera app to overcome this problem. While I don't know if it is the only app that works, the IgCamera does work and work well.
One minor note. As the combo jack only allows a mono input, I bought a mono cable extension to connect to my lavalier microphone. The only mono cable that I could find was a data transfer cable. Unfortunately, this cable created a major impedance problem: every recording had a loud buzz. I switched to a stereo cable which eliminated the problem. A wireless mic would be even better.
The real solution, of course, is for the manufacturers to provide a separate mic port, something that costs money so they probably won''t did it. A separate mic port would also provide the option of recording in stereo.

Going Mad with a Asus Transformer TF700T
Has anyone had any luck, or even attempted, using some sort of compact, external microphone for Google Talk or Hangouts? I tried searching but all of the threads are a year old, full of misinformation about how the 3.5mm jack is "out only" or involves soldering and magic.
Id really just like to know if I could throw in a non-powered or battery powered (gotta be small) microphone and have someone actually hear me when chatting. Right now everyone struggles to hear me when the tablet isnt 6" away from my face.
A directional mic that would allow me to set the tablet on a table (standing in its case of course) would be excellent. Small and reasonably priced would be great because the purpose is to use it on the road.
TIA
3.5MM port works with my Turtle Beaches with magic (Till I broke it...)
USB works with more magic, you have to port linux drivers :/
Bluetooth is the Easiest and Best option. I'd definitely go bluetooth for ease of use and connect.
My $.02
I'm looking more for conference functionality. So I can have it sitting on the dining room table and have the girlfriend and I chatting in a hangout. I surprised this hasn't been addressed, I guess nobody uses their tablet for Google talk or hangouts.
I use the earbuds that came with my Nexus S, they have a microphone built in.
As far as stand-alone microphones, I don't know of any. If you find one I'd like to know!
Id think if that external mic plugged in works fine when a simple, stand alone mic would. But most of the ones on Amazon have horrible reviews. I was hoping someone had thought about having a group chat on the thing.
I tried one of thos bluetooth car speakerphones and it was horrible. That is going back.

you may want to try this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Boombox-Smartphones-Tablets-Laptops/dp/B005PUZOYM
its an external speaker with a mic built in. so you can set your tablet on the table and place the mic closer to you, its bluetooth so dont have to worrie about wires, i've used it for my phone streaming music and when a call comes in i can talk. . on my tablet i use it to play movies audio but never used the mic in that sense.
maybe that way will work for you
Any chance you could try a chat or hangout with it? Ive tried my existing bluetooth solutions and nothing works.
As for wired mics Ive tried multiple and all have failed. They dont record audio in any way well (camera, chat, whatever) and plugging a mic in tells the transformer its got headphones in.
Headphones for TF101
I tired the original headphone with built in mic which came with blackberry Bold 9700. It worked. Both audio out and mic is working same time.
Does anybody know if a USB mic would work conecting it to the dock? I stream video on ustream but built in mic is below average. I was thinking on buying a usb mic and conecting it to the usb ports. Will it work?

Well I can now confirm USB mic doesn't work when connected to the dock
You need to port the linux drivers for it to work effectively.

How can I do that?
Depending on how much you want to spend and what converters you are willing to use:
a Zoom H2n has worked well for me (adjustable gain, uses up to 4 built in mics to get audio from all sides).

my nexus s headphones don't work as a mic on my tf101.
Instead an iphone headphone works well as mic.
Hi,
I'm very interested in getting my TF201 to record band rehearsals, jam sessions etc... Since the discovery of USB Audio Recorder Pro, I've been very hopeful that I'd be able to buy a half-decent USB condensing mic, like the Blue products (Snowball, Yeti) or a Samson Meteor for recording.
Now they list TF201 as supported and the Blue products are listed, great, but I'm concerned about the USB port on the dock, does it deliver a compliant USB2 power output? Or do I have to *sulk* and get a powered hub? Would CM10 be better placed on my TF201 for audio recording through a usb device?
Also, I get mixed reports that Jellybean hasn't actually brought USB audio, quoting eXtream Software Development with
Android does not support USB audio (even Android 4.1 contrary to popular believe!).

I did a quick test with a Plantronics headset, it was detected, but failed to record anything, the FAQ for USB Audio Recorder says it's usually due to a USB port not providing sufficient power
Edit : More Testing
So I tried a Microsoft Lifechat Lx3000 as one was available in the office and it worked, so it seems it's device dependant, would still like to hear from someone who is using a Samson Meteor or Blue Snowball Mic.
Thanks.
Hello all and particularly developers... There is on the market many "usb-only" speakers (without jack connector) to be connected to computer. I m asking about some app which will be able to turn our smartphone like an usb speakers. It could be fun to use our smartphones as speakers when we don't have traditional speakers.

I have also been trying to find a utility which can accomplish this. There are apps out there which allow you to use your Android device as a PC speaker, but all the ones I have found only work over Wifi. In my experience, there is far too much lag over Wifi. Does anyone know of an app which outputs PC audio to Android via USB?
The easiest way would be to use the headphone/speaker output on the computer and connect it to the mic input on your phone's headphone jack. Then have an app that plays the mic input in real time. The downside to this is it would only be mono but most phones only have one speaker anyways. If you wanted stereo you could probably use a USB sound card connected via OTG provided you have drivers for it.

Thanks, that's actually a decent solution. I'd have to do some digging to find a male-to-male mic cable though. It's just too bad we can't take advantage of the micro-USB cables we all have these days. Unfortunately, I do not have a sound card with a USB output and would prefer to not have to buy additional hardware. Ideally, I'd like to use this at work, so adding hardware is not really an option (the same reason IP audio streaming apps would not work). It would be great to have my phone double as a portable speaker. I'm not an expert on Android development, but it doesn't seem like there would be many technical hurdles to streaming audio over USB...
I appreciate your suggestion though, I may end up having to resort to the mic input solution.
