Audio Out Dock Problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I have CM7 installed, and I use an OEM car dock, but the audio out doesn't work from the dock. It just plays through the phone's speaker.
Also the Audio settings in the dock settings on the phone is greyed out.
I understand that this is a common issue with the SG2, and there is an app called Galaxy Sound Redirector that sorts this out, but it doesn't work with CM7.
Does anyone know of a kernel that works with CM7 and Sound Redirector? Or of any other way around this issue?
I don't need calls to work, just other phone audio (for the music in the car - I have BT for the calls)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spent hours searching!!
Thx,
Trip

I think you want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531483

Thanks, seen that, but only lists 1 kernel and doesn't say whether compatible with cm7...?

It also lists entire ROMs, one of which is CM7, which is listed as having support [N] None.

Yes you are right, as a standalone ROM it doesn't support it, but certain kernels do.. If you check the actual app, the developer even mentions it (I should have mentioned that!)

[Q] kaosfroyo; 3.5mm audio output registering as microphone

I searched first, and can't find the solution to this problem: Since upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2, the audio jack in my car that leads to a cassette adapter is registering on the Eris as a headset w/mic. This becomes a problem when I want to do a hands-free call.
It used to be on 2.1 with the same hardware that while listening to music in my car, if a call came in, the music would mute and I could speak and the phone's internal mic would pick me up. Now, with 2.2., it seems to be expecting the sound to come in from an external mic.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated! This is one that will send me back down to 2.1 unfortunately, as hands-free calling is kind of key for me being on the road a lot.
I found this similar question from 2008, unfortunately unanswered:

Pretty simple question, theres got to be a software solution. I've searched high and low on these forums and many people have the same problem but I have yet to discover a resolution. How would one enable the internal (built-in) microphone having a 3.5mm audio adapter routing the sound through a casette adapter? Is feedback going to be an issue?
Thanks,

Big thanks to the community -- as you can tell by my post count, most questions I have are answered here before I ever have to post.

Which ROM? Have you tried another Froyo ROM? I know my DEris worked on Kaos just fine.
I'm on kaosfroyo 35-1
Ive seen that problem in the new builds of kaosfroyo. I think its just a problem in kaosfroyo. Check with punk.kaos about it.
Oddly enough, after continued playing around with this ROM....
-- used metamorph to apply black status bar and circle battery with links from kaosfroyo faq on github
-- flashed the htc ringtone package
-- set autokiller to "strict"
-- setcpu to 480-787 default; 192-480 sleep
.... and the problem seems to have gone away. Not sure IF or WHY any of those had an impact. I noticed with the new status bar that all the icons were a little different, and it wasn't long after that I re-tested the microphone while an audio jack was plugged into it because I noticed the icon was just headphones now instead of the headset w/mic icon.
Hmm...that's a bit strange. Try calling someone with ur headphones in and see if it still trys to use it as an input device. Your theme change just might have covered up the problem.

[Q] Re-directing all sound to Bluetooth

Anyone know if its technically possible to get the sound routed to standard bluetooth 'hands-free' device. I know I've successfully done this on all my past devices with help of 3rd party software. I see several iterations of software for android out right now, but none have worked for me on Atrix.
I know buying a AD2P headset would be the ideal software free workaround. But I've tried a lot of bluetooth hands-free out there, and the one I have now is just so comfortable, I just can't switch to A2DP until it absolutely dies.
I've seen a few people requesting this across other forums, wondering if the Atrix is even accessible programming wise to do this?
thanks
I don't understand your question. I have a bluetooth headset which I play music on, and which auto cuts music for calls, has a mic, you can dial by voice command, etc.
It's hands free like any other bluetooth headset other than the power button, volume buttons, etc.
What exactly are you asking?
I believe OP is requesting any App that can be used to Hear Music on a Mono Bluetooth Headset which do not support A2DP Profile.
Using regular Bluetooth without A2DP profile will allow us to Just make /Receive Calls, not for Music.
I also tried BT Mono, but it didn't worked for Atrix and eager to know any other way we can able to hear music thru regular Bluetooth Headset

SakDroid is correct. Not all bluetooth headsets support the AD2P profile, and some phones won't play music to them for a reason unknown to me. I've had 4 phones with this same bluetooth headset and only one of them natively would play music with it. All others I had to install app to redirect sound...such as the referred to BTmono. So I know it's possible on Android, just wondering if there is something preventing it on the Atrix, or just hasn't been developed yet.
I would gladly pay to get development started on this. Since I would have to pay money for one supporting A2DP, but you know how it is when you have that one that fits/works just perfectly. I've bought a few that do support the profile, but ended up returning them all, as they just weren't comfortable to wear very long.
Btmono worked for me on my samsung epic 4g on froyo....then sprint sent an ota update to their version of gingerbread 2.3.6. it is very phone specific with what your carrier puts out I think because my wife has an stock htc evo running 2.3.5, and my brother has samsung epic touch running 2.3.7 and both of those different phones work fine with it. So what did I do....I found a custom rom that was built off 2.2.1 froyo. I didn't read the full thread so I don't know what exactly what phone this is for. Only option is to get to know everything you can do with you phone, root it and try different roms. Young and old. Also...on the eipc forum we had a discussion about this....they all had the same issues with gb...even the custom roms. Would love for the developers to learn a work around, since is up their ally...but shortly after there was a good leak for ice cream sandwich which I tried and its pretty good...just a bit buggy for me. When all the kniks are work out will be moving onto that and bypassing any gb that is out for the epic. So my advise, again, is just try different stock roms first....just to find out which ones...if any will work. Then you will know what custom one to look for...if you into that sorta thing.

Car Dock Audio with CM9

Having an issue getting audio to navigate threw the audio out on my car dock for my i717
I'm running CM9 RC2
Attempted to load the original voicetalk.apk that comes with ICS on the note stock
Also attempted the new voicetalk.apk from the Galaxy SIII with S-Voice. No luck with that one either.
Anyone find a way to make this work? I've searched all the XDA forums and havent found any solution yet...
If u r talking about getting audio during phone calls then it does not work with galaxy series of phones.
However sound for other stuff like music should come out through usb audio.

Yeah, just for music. I use PowerAmp and things like the S-Voice or original Voice Talk audio will still go thru the speaker instead of my docking station. I also went into the dock settings and told it to use the Dock audio, and it still doesnt... :S I know even with the original ROM calls still went thru speaker. Very Trivial...

Its a known issue for cm9 and aokp. None route for usb audio that im aware of, and ive tried many. It was a kernel issue as i understand it, and now that source has finally been released, we will hopefully see the issue addressed. It will work with tw based roms like Hybrid, however, if you install galaxy sound redirector from the play store.

[i9305 LTE] Dock 'Dialler Audio' Kernel Modifications?

Hi guys, first post here on the forums. I have a question/request for something that bugs the hell out of me.
I own one of the iBolt car docks for my s3 4g; it's great and works well (provided I uses a custom kernel like Perseus), my issue is that although the custom kernels can properly detect the dock and route media audio through the aux out, none of them seem to be able to route my call audio through the aux-out and still have the microphone working.
I'm currently using Ripper Rom V9 with the perseus kernel, when I go to place a call it automatically puts the phone on 'speakerphone' and still detects my voice through the inbuilt microphone but I would much prefer for it to come through the aux-out, is this possible with modification of the kernel? This would be very useful for many people I would imagine, it is very hard to hear the other persons voice through speakerphone while my phone is docked up on the dash and I'm driving along. I read somewhere that samsung by default don't allow such configuration, I think it may have been on an audio-redirector app but it only redirected system and media audio.
Any information would be greatly appreciated :good:

[Q] How can I switch from one audio output device to another?

Is there an app, widget, whatever that will allow me to easily switch the audio output from one device to another? e.g., I am connected to both headphones and a bluetooth A2DP device and audio is playing through the the A2DP. I want to be able to switch to headphones or even the built-in speaker without turning off the A2DP device or connecting/disconnecting the headphones.
I have a couple of devices that I would like to do this on:
Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) w/ AOKP 4.2.1 (root access enabled)
Archos G9 w/ ICS 4.0.4 (root access enabled)​
I have searched the Play Store, XDA, and the open interwebs for a solution, but search terms like "android audio output device switcher" are frustratingly broad and difficult to narrow. I previously came from an iOS background, where the audio switcher was built into the OS audio system, and the headphones, iPhone output, bluetooth, and any AirPlay devices could all be selected with relative ease. Ideally, I'd like something that works as easily, perhaps as a lockscreen or notifications widget. A solution that requires root would be fine.
Many thanks!
I was hoping to see any response or direction .. I'm also looking for a solution for this
Really late to reply, but SoundAbout should do that trick.
2018 and still nothing aside from SoundAbout, which crashes on me. ??
u can use lesser audioswitch from playstore.it works flawless.
