Could the 3.5mm jack be used during HDMI out? I have a monitor and i want to know before I spend $14 on an OEM mhl adapter.
Yes, you can output audio via the 3.5mm jack while simultaneously using MHL for video output. My TV only has a DVI port, so I output video via MHL, and audio via 3.5mm jack. I don't know if audio outputs via both ports at the same time. Hope this helps.

I've just received the MHL adapter and am excited to be able to use my monitor to display the phone's screen. But my monitor does not have a audio output, so the audio through the HDMI cannot be played. I've rooted and am on the Cognition 1.07 ROM, So is there a hack to route the audio through the 3.5 mm jack when sending the video through the HDMI using the MHL adapter?
Thanks guys,
Did you work out a way to do this? I am thinking of buying an MHL adapter but like you my display does not have sound.
I need to know an answer to this! My monitor doesnt have speakers and theres no way for me to hear the video!
My Dell monitor has 5.1 channel analog 3.5mm sockets at the back for HDMI audio output.
on my SG2 I still can use the audio jack for audio output (headset or just go into any amplifier-audio_in, or any computer etc....) when I use the HDMI cable for TV.
Hey RbbChan what ROM are you using?

Hey how did you get it to work? Which ROM and Kernel?
Same problem for me guys...that's a very unpleasent situation!
It can be solved via software though, I'm pretty sure because there is a lag of about half a second between the audio disappears after I connect the HDMI cable, it can't be hardware only.
Is there a place in this forum when we can ask developers to try and find a fix in their custom ROMs ?
I tried this and it worked (audio through my headphones) but the audio also came out through my TV.
VillianRom 2.42/Ninphetamine Kernel.

Muting the TV ought to do the trick,no?
Thats always a viable option.

Thank you Killer Bee! It works!!!
I know this thread is a couple of months old but I just wanted to say this saved me from buying an unnecessary $100+ HDMI audio breakout. The headphone jack fit the bill since my new monitor doesn't have audio output.
I'm having the same issue as OP (no sound through headphone jack on SGSII while MHL adapter plugged in). From the other posts it seems like using VillianRom 2.42/Ninphetamine Kernel would work?
Would any other roms & kernels work?
Thanks
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.

On my phone, I am able to connect to a TV using the headset jack to RCA cables (I know, old school technology...). Is there a similar option on the TFP, or is it only the HDMI output?
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)
When travelling, I have used an audio y-splitter to hook up two headphones so that me and my girlfriend can listen to a movie at the same time. How can I accomplish this without a headphone jack? I have seen some 3.5mm + USB C dongles on Amazon that claim to charge the phone while hooked up to a headphone. However, nobody claims to be able to listen to audio from both ports. Is this possible at all?
use the USBC to 1/8 adapter that came with the box, then plug in your 1/8 y-adapter
That's what I wanted to avoid. It looks ridiculous with all these adapters. Any way to have Bluetooth and the USB C headphone going simultaneously?
