Happens too me too. I about gave up on it, but tried it with watch app and it worked. Don't know why. The same adapter works all the time on my phone.

I bought it from ebay... The only way to get audio is through 3.5 headphones or speakers

Try with a different (newer) HDMI cable. All HDMI cables are not the same and just because it works with some DVD player does not mean it will work with the MHL box. I have seen cases where this is caused by the cable.

I agree with this. When I use a 3rd party app like BS Lite everything is choppy. When I use the stock app everything works fine.

Anyone figured it out yet? I just bought a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card to make gameplay/review vids of android games, but I dont get any audio. The capture software gives me 16 audio channels I can record from, but even by turning on all 16 I dont get any audio.
There's a slight chance there might be something wrong with the card or the equipment I use, but i highly doubt that.
Configuration: Samsung Galaxy Nexus -> Samsung HDTV Adapter -> A to A HDMI Cable -> Blackmagic Intensity Pro -> (Capture Software: Blackmagic Media Express)
I do use my Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the official Samsung HDMI/MHL - adapter.
Any suggestions?

None of you guys asking about sound on HDMI have said what device you are connecting to. I get perfect audio on my Samsung HDTV from the generic MHL adapter on the Flyer via HDMI cable. Not every TV or device is capable of receiving audio over HDMI. That's why they added the extra 3.5 analog audio jack as an option.
The Blackmagic Intensity Pro should work fine with either HDMI audio or analog audio. have you checked it with a known good HDMI source such as a DVD player or Cable box?

I am having the same issue with my galaxy note. solo no solution?

I am returning my MHL and getting a replacement which they will test before sending to me. Hopefully it is the cable and not my phone.

You might want to get the official HTC adapter. They've dropped in price considerably. I bought mine for ~$15.

I bought the one for the S3, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A169TCI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and Video works and charging works but it doesnt give me any sound on Games.. and unfortunately i thought my N7 would work through it but it doesnt hahaha

Since you bought it off ebay, pull the back cover and look at the screws to see if the void stickers are still there (one red on white and one white on black) covering the screws. The usb port is prone to break on these and in replacing the PCB, if you don't pay attention you can pull the audio cable that feeds the board and break it.
this only compromises audio with mhl through usb port.

Maybe the problem comes from the cable ...

Video Out

Hey. I was wondering how the TV out works on the Vibrant. My last phone was a ipohne 3g and I used a programs called TV out to connect it to my car audio system. With that setup I was able to watch Slingplayer through the car audio display. When I check the TV out box on the Vibrant, I don't get video (just audio). I was told that video can be achieved through the 3.5mm headphone jack. I don't see how this is possible and I don't believe the mini usb is capable of audio/video. Can someone confirm this? Is there a way to utilize the slingplayer the same way as I did with the iphone?
Thanks in advance,
ScottZ0
You have to switch red with yellow or some sh¡t like that

I recently received my 3.5mm to rca plug from amazon for about $3 shipping included. Do you have the specific plug? I'm assuming you do since you said you used to do it with your iphone. Connect only 2 of the 3 rca plugs to the tv. Connect the white male plug for audio to the white female port and then connect the red male plug to the yellow female port for video (YES, YOU HEARD RIGHT. FOR SOME REASON THE RED MALE PLUG WORKS AS VIDEO INSTEAD OF AUDIO). Make sure your tv's input is set to VIDEO 1 or VIDEO 2 etc. Then make sure to check the tv out check box.

The Vibrant's pretty picky about the cables. The correct cable is a standard Red/White/Yellow composite cable, but the wiring is non-standard, so you may have to switch the red and yellow connectors. Also, make sure the plug is plugged ALL THE WAY into the 3.5mm jack on the phone - it's easy to leave out one click. Even still, I've run into a couple cables that would not work no matter what I did (I think this is a grounding issue.)
I recommend the $3 cable from amazon. Took about 3 days for me to receive the cable. The cable was located in New Jersey and I live in Maryland.

Motorola oem cable on ebay for about 5 bucks works correctly, yellow for video and red/white for audio.

[solved after ICS update] Only one audio channel over HDMI?

I like the Prime so far, but I only get one channel audio over HDMI to my 2 year old Sony Bravia TV.
I just sold my TF101 and it worked fine with both audio channels over HDMI.
Anyone else got this problem?
I grabbed a 6' micro hdmi cable at Radio Shack since I was wanting to try it out.
Solved for now:
Works with some TVs and not others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20818496&postcount=51
Maybe Prime only can output Mono audio because the Primes own speaker are Mono?
If you connect the Prime to a receiver and 5.1 audio system with hdmi and then starts to play a video that's have 5.1 or dts.
will the receiver show that it's gets dts audio from the Prime or will Prime only send mono/stereo to the receiver?
If we don't can get 5.1/dts or even stereo sound true the hdmi that's is a big fail and it will almost be useless to use Prime like a Media center connected to your tv or audio system.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Headphones are stereo. But disabled when hdmi is connected.
My amp is to old to show the input audio type in the mode I have it in.
But all other inputs to the TV are stereo/surround/etc.
(everything is routed thru the TV, and then out from the TV to the amp)
No one else has tried HDMI yet I guess.
I hope not. Im definitely planning on using HDMI. Both my Prime and my HDMI cable should be here next Tuesday... it'd be great if someone could test before then, if not I can.
I already have a laptop with buggy HDMI... maybe a firmware update later will fix if this is an issue.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Just tried it in my Anthem MRX 700 AV Receiver And it def is showing 5.1 while playing a 1080p 5.1 Rip of Avatar
Ive only got 1 channel coming out of my marantz 5006, and my 1602
I wonder if using MX player and selecting software audio decode would fix this... saw something about this in the other thread, maybe that would help.
And Merry Christmas!
mxplayer and all audio options still just yields one audio channel over hdmi for me
and half a dozen other players
weird my receiver says 5.1 but it does not sound like it
Crap! I just tested mine - same problem: left channel only
It is starting to look like I will be returning my Prime.
Out of all the issues I see with the Prime. This is the one that has me bummed the most as I wanted to use the Prime as my media hub when out and about. I wasn't expecting 5.1 necessarily but it has to do stereo right? Maybe this is a software bug that they can fix in a firmware update?

I can't imagine this is hardware. I know at least BS player is decoding 5.1

It seems as though the prime is a little finnicky about HDMI devices. I'm having HDMI sync issues on my 28" LCD and my Panasonic plasma (flickering output, output jumping between tab and display.) But my newer 55" Panasonic LCD has no issues.

Optical Audio Out on Prime

I'm looking to find a way to get optical audio from my Prime. I'm hoping to connect the HDMI and have the digital audio be converted into an optical out so that I can get digital audio on my home audio and car audio system.
I bought a 35mm headphone jack to optical adapter somewhere about 6 months ago to do something similar. It seems like radio shack should carry them. I'm not 100% sure where I bought it, but worth a shot.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forum Runner
I think those are for minidiscs and anything that has dual use headphone port, but surely the Tf is audio only?
The easiest way is to use a tv without optical out. I use one on my LG 50" to 5.1. Works for my tab, laptop and comp. As far as the car, you'll have to get a deck or car tv with HDMI in, but I haven't seen anything in person that wasn't analog for audio. Decks also have bluetooth. I have a JVC that works well with audio streaming.

Tab 2 10.1 audio/video/usb(charge) cable

Hello,
I'll be hooking up my tab in the car and I'm looking for a cable that will charge over USB and provide audio out in one.
I found this guy on Amazon but it only says it works with the original Tab.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054MV84Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A36WKB83D3HR47
The video out is mirrored so I would just leave that part unplugged.
Does anyone have experience with this or something similar with the Tab 2?
Thanks!
I just ordered one. I'll give it a whirl and report back!
Be interesting to see how you get on, I'm in the process of mounting my P5110 in the car as well. I don't think the video would work anyway, but the audio should...
What bracket are you planning on using if you don't mind me asking?
I actually ended up making my own, a TV mount coupled with a gel case.
TV mount: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044YMQIW/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
Gel case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009L7OMVG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
With a little modification, it worked out quite well.
I like this setup because I can easily reach the tablet to control Pandora, Stitcher, Maps, etc, and still swing it over for a passenger to watch Netflix or browse the web. If I can get this cord to work, I'll be set!

Got the cable in the mail today. I hooked it up and everything works as expected.
I can't speak for the video plug, but the audio works perfectly and the usb charges as expected. I couldn't be happier!

Very nice setup, and with the minimum of cables hanging out of the Tab.
I must order the same cable now that you confirmed that it works, and post a pic once I have it mounted in my car.
Currently my trusty i9000 handles all my in car android needs with Navigon etc.. time to upgrade.
I still need a way to attach the cable to the mount without it looking like junk, but since it splits close to the usb/av end of the cable, this shouldn't be too hard.
Definitely post some pics once you have yours set up.
Since this is mainly going to stay in the car, I also set up Tasker to perform a few tasks when the device gets power.
On power connect:
- Turn screen on (I believe this happens anyway though)
- Set brightness to auto
- Set screen timeout to 24hrs (There is also a function to keep the screen from turning off, but it still dims the screen close to the devices set timeout, which I find annoying)
- Play audio (if paused)
On power disconnect:
- Pause audio
- Set screen timeout to 2min
- Lock screen
Just some food for thought.
Looks great!

So we can get audio out thru the 30-pin connector? hows the sound quality vs. the headphone jack? i assume since it works for the 10.1 tab 2 it should work on the 7.0, would love for a nice single connection setup like that when I work out a way to do an in-dash setup once i figure out a way to relocate the AC controls.
edit: 500th post :highfive:
has anyone got this working on a galaxy tab 2 7.0 (p3110 pref)
ive bought 2 diffrent cables and neither has routed audio out via dock,
is there something i should be doing within android to enable dock mode or route audio out via the connector or will it do that automatically?
i really need audio to come out via the dock connector so i can charge and play audio out of the one cable.

The audio on the 30 pin is the same audio on the headphone jack....... its audio.
The only difference between the 10 and the 7 is that the 7 has no video on the 30 pin
I bought a similar cable as yours But I cant get it to work the audio wont out through the cable only on the device. Any setting that I should do? Could you please show me your set up? Thanks you.

Do you happen to know someone with the tab 2 7.0 that you can test that cable with? I'm thinking about ordering one but would like confirmation that it works. Not interested in video, just audio and charging.

If it works on the p-51xx it will work the same on the P31xx except no video on 31xx 2.7.0 tabs
the pinouts are exactly the same.
So, will this cable bring video out from p5100?
Did anybody tried it on p5100?

CHeck the Samsung accessories page for the adapter, if it says its compatible it is, if its doesn't list your model its not.
Just curious here...I've been long considering taking my Galaxy Tab 2 7 inch apart and somehow fashioning a Double Din head unit out of it. But I'm a little skeptical now because:
If I'm reading this right, you guys are saying that only audio comes out of the USB connector thing? But that doesn't make sense to me because why wouldn't the audio sound, and video sound be handled the same way? It just seems like to me they would be essentially the same thing, but then again I'm not very tech on the software side so idk

From what I gather, your audio in whatever form will be carried through the 30-pin connection on the GTab7.0. The only difference in the pin connector from the GTab10.1 and GTab7.0 is that Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, omitted the video pin on the GTab7.0.

Samsung smart dock audio via hdmi

Hi,
I got my note 3 the other week and just got the samsung smart dock today.
The note 3 is brilliant so far and as far Im aware it is MHL 2.0 compliant.
I plugged in the smart dock last night into my reciever and I got the screen mirrored onto my tv however I am getting no sound at all
However If I plug the hdmi cable into my TVs hdmi input I get both video and sound (the problem being that my tv has an issue with DT, DTS HD etc. All I can do is pass a dolby digital signal to my reciever via optical cable.
The reciever works perfectly fine for HDMI out from my htpc at the mometn (and to confirm it wasnt the settings on the reciever I ever plugged the dock into the same input as the HTPC (replaced it temporarily) Still no sound.
Does anyone have any idea why the audio works through my tv and not the reciever? (my reciever is a denon 1910, my tv is a Samsung B650) As far Im aware audio over hdmi is a standard and if anything the recoever should be able to work better as it can decode more formats.
The other thing I noticed was that I am getting 1080p at 30hz, does this make the smart dock only MHL1.0 compliant?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
go to settings / accessory and then either click or unclick the audio out mode. then try.

Thanks for the fast responce. This does tie into what I have read elsewhere unfortunately it didnt seem to have an impact for me I have tried both ticked and unticked. my reciever still gets no audio.
(My TV only recieves audio if it is unticked)
In the same place there is an option for HDMI surround or stereo, have you tried changing that around?

Unfortunately yes. Maybe I havent tried all combinations of the 2 options though.
I think I tried unticked stereo, surround unticked and surround ticked. I can try messing with these again tonight to see if it has any affect.
Is there any reason these settings would need changing for plugging into a reciever vs plugging into my tv directly? I would have thought if it works for one it should work for the other.
Thanks again for the help
no luck, tried all combinations of both of those settings. no sound at all coming out of my reciever

Sorry, thought I had already replied to this. Yes, this is just the note 2 dock. as I assumed it is just using th MHL standard I believe the note 3 should be just as compatable as the Note 2
Note 3 smart dock
The note 2 smart dock worked with my note 3 with sound? See here:
youtube.com/watch?v=lWN43pnkg0s
This is a long shot but on your note 3, go to settings>general>accessory>check off "Audio output mode" (Use external speakers when device is docked).
See if that works?
---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------
Also, I know this is silly but try unlpugging the smart dock power source and then replugging it in the back of the dock. Someone had issues where reconnecting the power source on back of the dock helped resolve some recognition issue with the usb. Long shot but worth a try.
