Hi All.
I bought a micro usb to 3.5mm audio jack off off ebay hoping it would work on the galaxy s2 (i thought the s2 would be backwards compatable)
Searchword Audio adapter samsung galaxy (i cant post outside links)
Does anyone know of any software to get it working?
Many thanks
Paul.
You can't just stick in any usb to 3.5mm jack and hope it'll work, it's device specific and needs the right circuit inside for the conversion.
i was kind of hoping with the whole "USB" = UNIVERSAL serial bus that it would work. If it is trully that, then technically it should work, its just a matter of some guru figuring out the drivers for it
Anyone??? Its difficult to believe that the 9100 can output video and audio, in high deffinition, but not able to output only audio!!
Have you enabled output audio through usb connection?
is that under the dock option?

I was at work the other week and had a slight problem.. how the hell do i get music from a TG01 into a sound desk.. I tried to use the micro USB to 3.5mm adapter with a 3.5 to 3.5mm cable into the desk AUX input, we also tried using a 3.5 to RCA cable... the final thing we tried to make sure it wasnt a problem with the desk was to go straight into the DJ mixer using a 3.5mm cable. nothing worked. but Iphones, Ipod, other MP3 players all work using this method...
any ideas folks?
Have you tested the supplied USB to 3.5mm with a normal earbud? do you get sound out of it?
The USB to 3.5mm cable is just a simple Analog Left/Right/Ground port and so it should work with any Stereo plug regardless of the destination
I suspect that the USB to 3.5mm you used is busted
you can also use a bluetooth adapter with 3,5mm plug, the one i use was 32,- euros and works perfect

Not at all.
The TG01 does require a certain resistance to be presented to the device and it is this which it interprets as to how to respond.
If the two data lines D- and D+ are shorted, it will go into Charge mode. If it sees a resistance of around 20 Ohms or more it will switch the audio output to the micro USB port. Typical earphones will have an impedance of around 30 Ohms, while the input to many battery powered external speakers is 4 or perhaps 8 Ohms (ever lower on amplifiers). This is why your TG01 worked fine into the earphones but not your external feed.
This texts it's not mine (just the blue one). It was written for the great kevinpwhite, on MODACO some time ago. And it's true (I've made the resistor modification in a set of stereo amplified speakers than failed as Tomsutton said and now they work perfectly.)
You can read the full explanation here: (I'm xdalover on Modaco )

Cheers pete, Il dig out the specs of the desk and see what the resistance is, I dont remember it going into charging mode though..
Why would an Ipod work but the TG01 wont?

If standard headphones works and aux IN don't work, no doubt. This is the origin of your problem

Easy, an Ipod has a dedicated analogic output. Instead TG01 has a shared USB port with different uses...
Noticed this on mine when I wanted to play music from the phone on my stereo. VERY annoying, and a bit daft of them to do this, even though it's a shared port.
There should be a software option to enable the usb port for purely sound to allow it to pass it across. I see the hardware resistive work as a workaround not the solution (although well done on getting it working!!)
no way. toshiba support:
"There are no settings available on the phone in order to set up the electrical resistance."

With thanks to Pere for the kind words above re. my earlier explanations on this subject on MoDaCo....
....in addition, please note that all of these charactaristics are an intentional part of the micro USB AB 'On The Go' port design and will become increasingly the norm as more devices adopt uUSB.
There is at least one chip being manufactured, but as yet not available to individual purchasers, which will support an external plug in device capable of providing intelligent charging combined with concurrent audio out. Sort of configuration applicable to eg. a car hands free scenario. I imagine that such add-ons will start to become available in due course - this is one of the drawbacks of choosing what is still a leading edge device well over a year after it first appeared !
For the mixing desk input, I'd suggest using an isolating transformer (eg. these here) as the ideal means of coupling - this will provide the necessary impedance (typically >10kOhms) to make the TG01 respond with an audio output while also ensuring electrical separation and maintaining as high quality audio signal as possible.
Is there a way to get audio output from this phone via the mini-USB port? I'm thinking of buying a portable DAC/AMP with USB input to bypass the DAC on the phone. Is this possible?
Don't believe this is possible. The host OS drivers must be supported.

Yes, but it's analog audio so you can't bypass the DAC. However it may be line-level audio that is different (better? worse? Not sure) than the headphone jack.
Somewhere in either General or Accessories there's a HOWTO on making your own "dock" audio cable. This will give you analog output from the MiniUSB port by making the phone think it's in a car dock, which makes it change USB D+ and D- into analog L/R audio.
The link Entropy is referring to is this:

EDIT and also from a quote in that thread:

I'm 95% certain digital audio out is not possible, except maybe for MHL/HDMI audio output via the MHL adapter.
There just aren't any provisions for it.

thanks for the info. I'm reading through that and I don't think that'll work for me. Basically I just want something I can slap into my pocket while at the gym to get better sound out of this phone. I guess a simple line-out is going to have to do and just snag an AMP only.
Would the USB OTG be a viable option for this? Just a thought...
Thanks again for the help!
let me ask you this...is there a clean way to get a "line-out" from the Galaxy S2 perhaps from the USB port (as an analog signal). I have been eye-balling the Ray Samuels Hornet as my portable amp for the Galaxy S2 and I'd like to get the best sound possible out of this phone.

Hello guys, I've just recently bought the Onkyo CS 555dab and tried connecting my galaxy s3 via text usb port to play music. But it doesn't even connect so I'm thinking the usb on the Onkyo isn't meant for Android and only ipod and flash drives. But I was looking at this device which I think would work but want to be sure before I buy it. My Onkyo has got optical and coaxial inputs at 24bit so I was thinking of usb to optical. I can't post links just yet but it's called USB Sound Box from maplins website.
I'd just use the usb from the galaxy to the usb sound box then optical lead from that to the hifi. Would this produce audio??
Also I used the 3.5mm jack to RCA and the sound is terribly low n no bass at all. I read bout EU regulations and them lowering the out it via headphone jacks.
Hope someone knows. Thank you.

Use a decent ROM with some jacked up audio improvements. I used 3.5mm to my stereo and the sound is superb.
There are a multitude of converters out there for just this.

Hi everyone,
I have recently ordered the new JVC KW-V50BT multimedia receiver.
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S3. I bought this JVC receiver because it supports MHL/HDMI which allows you to control the phone fullscreen. Video goes via HDMI or MHL2.0 (the latter the S3 doesn't support to my knowledge). Audio goes via Bluetooth pairing.
I picked up the EPL-3FHUBEGSTD adapter for the S3 and put a separate micro usb charger in the car to connect it to. HDMI from the adapter will go to the HDMI in on the radio, which I believe should work. If I ever upgrade the phone to an MHL2 compatible one I should be able to go without the adapter completely using an HDMI to MHL adapter JVC sell for this unit.
If all of the above works correctly I should be able to run Sygic navigation on the S3 with instructions both on the 7" screen and via the car speakers via bluetooth, using A2DP. I plan on filling a USB stick with music files, and connecting that to the USB in on the radio, which I'm sure will work fine.
I am just wondering if there is a way to improve upon the audio output from the phone so streaming from the phone like from Qobuz can be done as well.
I guess bluetooth will work for this also, but is it technically possible to get a better sound quality, like using an external DAC?
I read some DIY threads on using the micro usb port.
Could I in theory do that, but still split things so HDMI keeps going to the head unit? Or will using the micro USB out for audio like this kill off the HDMI output? Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

Hey sorry to not answer your question but where did you find that model. Everywhere I've looked it is still on pre order.

I'm in the Netherlands, mine is also still on pre-order. It was listed as available/in stock at an online store, after which I went to a local dealer to ask whether they could supply it also (as I also wanted them to install it for me).
They contacted JVC Netherlands who denied the shop could have it in stock already because it hadn't been released yet.
JVC said it would be an early April release, and they promised one of the first units to go to my dealer. The smaller model (30BT) is already available, the 50BT should be there the first or second week of April.
In the meantime I've answered my own question; I assumed Bluetooth would be used for audio as is the case with some previous models with Mirrorlink.
This is however not the case as audio simply goes via MHL/HDMI. Since that doesn't degrade audio I'm confident this will work perfectly for me.
Hey all,
I'm looking to buy an tab S3 but I want to use it in a very specific use case where I need to use a USB-C to audio adapter (yes, I know it has a 3.5mm jack plug).
We have the tablet at work but because it's for a client I can't just tinker around with it.
I tried the USB-C adapter that came with the Google pixel 2 XL but that didn't work. The Tab S3 didn't play the sound over the speakers and paused when I plugged out the adapter as if it recognized it but I could hear anything. Does anyone have experience of a adapter that does work?
Also, does it work with the cheap passive adapters without a DAC? (USB-C audio can be analogue if the device supports it, other only do digital and require a DAC)
