I have a legimate MHL/HDMI adapter for S2 (EIA2UHUNBE).
I've tried:
- Setting Accessory / HDMI / Audio output to Surround
- Original Samsung XXMS1 and also NeatROM
- Two different HDMI cables
- Two different receivers
- Handful of players
- Many different test files with ac3/dts/flac 5.1 audio
No matter what I do, the output is sent as 1080i + 2 channel 44khz PCM (as verified by my receivers).
So has anyone ever actually had surround verifiably working and what's the setup?
I could not get it to work on my note 2 either.
Have you found a solution?

Hi all,
I have the Note 2, it is not rooted and full stock. I purchased the Allshare Dongle and I did update the dongle firmware. I can get video over HDMI but no audio using media player or spotify. I tried 2 different HDMI cables. I tried going direct to TV and bypassing the HDMI receiver to which the TV is connected. I tried going to Accessory Settings and trying both Stereo and Surround.
Seems like this should be obvious but its not. I get audio from phone until I turn on allshare cast, and then I get no audio from the phone (as it should be because HDMI is then active) - but there is no HDMI audio.
I searched the Net but can't seem to find others with the problem. Thoughts?
Is there any X2 ROM out there Android 3.0 or higher with working HDMI (BOTH video AND audio) ??
I did a search, and it seems all the CM10/CM9 variants do HDMI video, but no audio (which I need).
I don't care about working data, just need wi-fi.
Thanks!!
i have the same issue as you, i tried sotmax but it doesn't work
i think it could be kernel related...
you can still get audio out of the 3.5, and any monitor/TV that actually has decent speakers has an external audio input for one of the HDMI ports anyway.
if you absolutely MUST have audio over the HDMI connection and ICS/JB, just get one of these http://www.cypeurope.com/Audience/AU-11CA-HDMI-Audio-Embedder-with-built-in-Repeater.html and a 3.5mm to stereo RCA cable. done and done.
Hello,
I'm trying to get higher quality audio input (sample width and conditioning, don't care about sampling rate above 32k) than is available through the microphone jack and was looking for an overview of where the development of such capabilites stands today. From what I gather:
Android 3.1 (maybe 3.2) added some support for USB Audio, though I can find almost no details on the capabilities. I can't post links, but a post on computeraudiophile with google search terms "usb audio enabled galaxy s3" claims support for a bunch of USB DACs on the Galaxy S3, but there is no mention of using the ADC.
Android 4.1 added support for USB audio docks -- these are generally (as far as I can find) speaker systems with a USB cable -- which only support audio output.
Software such as USB Audio Recorder Pro can record from a number of devices but this is of no use to a developer wishing to get the data into a separate application.
Lots of devices have HDMI ports but I found nothing about anyone managing HDMI input.
I can't find any such device for Bluetooth, but also nothing suggesting that it isn't possible. If so, can anyone speculate on audio quality limitations?
Now, I understand that the vast majority of users who want USB audio want output so it can go to their speakers, but there are some who need the other direction (or both...). Can anyone more familiar with the subject comment on the state of external audio input on Android devices?
Thanks,
Ben

I'm struggling with one thing on my new lovely device:
I can't get my Ultra to play FM radio through HDMI. Here's the details
- I've tried to root and use Spirit2 player and Soundabout manipulation app.
- My TV is not MHL compatible, could this have effect?
TuneIn and other sources work, but I can not use volume control with these. It's on mute or on full volume and nothing between. Is this also because my TV doesn't support MHL?
Edit:
Ok so apparently Spirit2 app can use FM radio without headset -> Now FM radio will play through MHL / HDMI. But if I plug in the headset I've got no way to get the audio through HDMI. Or I don't know solution for it, does anyone?
- Headset is pretty important because the reception is bad without it.
SOLUTION FOUND:
Just snap off the head of the 3.5 jack so that only thickest ground part takes contact. Now the phone won't recognize headset and I'm able to put audio through MHL/HDMI with .spirit2 FM tuner app. From .spirit2 option you have to unmark all the voice output options and then MHL/HDMI feed will be enabled.
I'm using a LeTV x900 (or Le Max), which sports the Snapdragon 810 as well as USB Type C.
I'm using a USB-C to HDMI MHL adapter (made specifically for this brand of phone) to output audio to my yamaha receiver, as I want to listen to DTS tracks on my home stereo. The receiver sees the HDMI signal from my phone. I use MX Player, which plays the DTS tracks fine (I have the one with DTS support and the right codecs installed), which plays the files just fine. Yet for some reason the receiver is only receiving a stereo signal, so its only giving me 2.0 sound, not see any more than 2 channels in the first place. I'd like to at least play 5.1 (if not 7.1) files. I can't for the life of me figure out what step I'm missing. I even went so far as to install Dolby Atmos on android but that was a no go too. Any ideas?
