[Q] Play audio on Android through USB ipod dock/receiver/etc? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to play audio on my Android devices (SSG Note 2, TF701, etc) through an ios enabled USB receiver? Specifically, my car has a usb port meant to plug in an ipod/iphone to stream music. It seems only to work with ios devices. Is there anything I can do on the phone/tab to spoof the ios and thus play audio in my car via the USB? The stereo does have bluetooth but I'm really looking to use this for videos to eliminate lag.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Play music through USB?

Hi,
I wonder if it is possible to play music through USB. It doesn't work out of the box with CM 7, but maybe the is a hack or an app that would accomplish this?
Btw: Merry Christmas!
When you say: "through USB"; do you mean playing on the phone (with Music player) having audio output through usb? I haven't heard of one, but it could be theoretically possible as I have a USB Fm transmitter (also, docking bases have an audio out port) which plugs into the phone and transmits audio - so im sure a hack could be built? Otherwise, if you are asking about the ability to plug it into a USB port present on most modern stereo systems - the phone can simply be mounted and the stereo system would read it like any flash drive (have done this in my car)
Do you mean using the usb headphones?

[Q] Android and the docking stations

Hey there!
I'm kind of looking into buying a docking station for my g nexus and I came up with some questions.
The general purpose for me would be to play music with a high quality. So, how does this work for the androids? Is it possible to connect the device via usb and play the music over it? Most of the docks I saw seemed to use Bluetooth to play the music and had the usb port only for charging the phone, if they even had any.
Is it possible to control the phone (e.g. skip a track, choose another track...) via bluetooth or does it only play the music and you have to control everything on the phone itself?
Final questions: Any suggestions on good hardware?
Thanks to everyone,
Harper

[Q] Nook tablet as wireless audio player

Currently running cm7. Did some searches, so my NT has WiFi but no Bluetooth, no power to USB so no micro USB dongle.
Stereo bluetooth dongle possible but bulky and requires separate charging.
WiFi speakers possible but can't find any.
Use app to controll another android using WiFi but requires second device.
I would love to be able to use the nt as wireless audio player.
Any ideas anyone?
You might check out the MediaHouse UPnP/DLNA app in the Play Store. Is this the capability you're looking for?
interesting but not exactly
My plan was to use the NT as a remote control for the livivg room audio. Where the audio is stored is not a problem (SD card or network is fine). The simple solution would be some Bluetooth speakers and play using the NT doing most of the work however no Bluetooth on NT makes this hard. I have cats who like chewing cables so stereo HiFi inst great, a rechargeable WiFi speaker would be awesome but all wireless speakers seem to be Bluetooth
I might look into the dongle idea, not USB but 3.5mm audio to Bluetooth dongle, its bulky but probably simplest.

Did you look at app I sugested? There are DLNA WiFi speakers -- do an Internet search for " dlna speakers wireless" to see many options.

[Q] Android device as BT audio receiver/player

Bluetooth audio is becoming a more prevalent option with television now. More TVs have Bluetooth capabilities and more soundbar and other audio have Bluetooth reception to allow them to play audio from cellphones and other devices.
I would like to have audio from my Google TV broadcast by Bluetooth for wireless listening. My TV does not have BT, but I have found a TOSLINK to BT device which is even powered by the USB port on the TV. The TOSBlue II can be found at telme2.com. So the audio broadcasting component of the problem is essentially solved.
The problem that remains is on the revieving end. Rather than spend $$$ on a nice set of BT headphones and have them occupying space and worring about them being charged, I would like to use my android phone which already has some fairly sophisticated audio capabilities and is always with me and charged. Even with earbuds it would allow the mobility of wireless headphones. I currently have the Galaxy Note II with Jelly Bean, but think this should be doable with any fairly current android device, even a tablet or other non-phone.
So far, I have not been able to find a solution for the phone which will play BT audio broadcast from another source. An acceptable solution would accomplish this for my phone, and Android Tablet, or an iPod Touch 3g (which I also have).
Has anyone ever accomplished this? Does anyone know of an app or mod that allows this?
Thanks for any help.

Using SGSI i9000 to stream music from NAS etc to my Hi-Fi

I’ve been looking a various solutions to stream music to a Hi-Fi such as Squeeze Box and Sonos, and am wondering if I could use my trusty old SGSI i9000 to stream from a NAS or other DLNA enabled device? I believe to Wolfson DAC is quite good for a phone, so I could connect the phone to the amp with a phono lead, but I also wonder if I could attached an external DAC via a USB adaptor to improve the sound output. I know this can be done on the S3 and some tablets, but not sure of the situation with other phones. I am ok with routing and custom ROM’s if that helps. Please note I do not want to play music stored on the phone, as my library is already 200gb and rising, but use it as a conduit to get the music from storage to the Hi-Fi

Hi,
You could try ArkMC app on Google play , it's streaming video by DLNA , it's well done
Regards
Hi Brya, thanks for making this your first post! The ArkMC app looks good. There are many DLNA streaming apps and this looks like one of the better ones.
My situation though is that if my Hi-Fi isn’t a DLNA device and only has phono input, can the phone stream a file from a NAS etc, play the file on the phone and output it through the headphone or micro USB socket to an amp. I think now that I’ve typed this out that the answer to this is yes.
So next question, how good is the audio quality going to be from such as set up? I think this depends on the DAC in the phone, which is quite good for a phone but probably not great compared to £300-£500 mini system. I’d welcome feedback on this.
Then the question is, can I connect an external DAC via the micro USB port?
For info, I haven’t actually got a Hi-Fi at the moment. I’m weighing up buying a mini system that includes a network streamer against more expensive and better sounding separates that do not (though they may have a USB input) and seeing if this would be a viable option for playing digital music.
