Samsung smart dock audio via hdmi - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

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?

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.

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.

[Q] RCA out?

I know our phones can do HDMI out through an MHL adapter, which I have and it works great, but I would like to know if they can do RCA out, the yellow, red, and white outputs. I want to hook it up to my car's touchscreen headunit which has those inputs, but obviously no HDMI. Do our phones have this capability using the usb or the 3.5 mm jack, like the original Galaxy S's, that I could use? Thanks.
I don't think so... There's a slight tiny possibility the headphone jack can do tvout, but there are no controls for it in Settings on any GSII - it probably isn't working.

Thanks Entropy. Yea since there isn't anything in the settings I figured it wouldn't work. I am going to try that cable anyway and I will report back.
Let us know if it works...I would love to be able to hook up to my 'older' sets and such with my GSII!
Any updates on this? I'm also interested in getting it to work with RCA composite.
Any help would be appreciated
Well I tried plugging my phone into the tv through a 3.5mm to RCA cable, and nothing. But, I also tried it with my Captivate running ICS and still nothing. My SGSII is on ICS as well, so maybe the function just wasn't built in to the software.
I'd also tried this on KK6 with no luck...
Not related to this phone but the iPod Videos had this option I believe. The Classic took the function out.
Fyi for anyone.

I can confirm that MHL to HDMI to RCA through a converter does work with our phones. But then I stumbled upon this...it looks promising.

MHL->HDMI adapter - is audio stream untouched?

I intend to put an HDMI audio splitter in my car, and to use my phone as a media source (later transitioning to a tablet, but that's down the road). What I want to know is if an MHL to HDMI adapter leaves the audio stream intact and untouched - in other words, no dithering, equalizing, or sampling performed.
Furthermore, I assume the phone will output music through MHL with no issues. Is this the case?
The HDMI stripper I'm looking at is here, for reference: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/cables/atlona-tech-at-hd570
Any help or knowledge would be appreciated!
I've never seen raw audio come out of the MHL port.
e.g. you can't do AC3 passthrough or anything like that, at least not any time I have tried. So no 5.1 audio

I can't really believe that this issue hasn't been solved.
My setup:
Samsung S4 (i9505)
third party MHL adapter (with USB power) (package says, it is able to transmit a digital surround sound stream)
HDMI to HDMI + optical splitter (verified to be able to output surround sound)
The optical cable connects to my surround-pre-amp, hdmi to the TV.
I was not able to find a combination of android player / settings / cable configuration to get the AC3 or DTS stream through the MHL port. I also cannot find any information on this anywhere.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

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!

Has anyone had success with this on 10.1?

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?
Thanks

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.

Few questions before I buy honor 7

Hello lucky honor owners. I just fall in love woth h7 when i saw it and decided to buy it but...few questions without answers makes me wait.
1. Does honor 7 support MHL (media streaming over hdmi)? This is needed to connect the phone to pionier appradio.
2. Is audio quality good enough to ise it with high quality headphones?
3. Some reviews say something about pro mode camera update. Does anybody know when will it be updated?
Thanks for any help.
- 1 : no
-2 : no (need to flash a mod with root for better experience)
-3 : Already implemented in the béta MM 6.0
And if you like custom roms,mods etc............just forget this phone

1 - Nope. But you can get music from H7 through BT and also probably USB using the phone as mass storage, or even connecting the headphone plug to a AUX-in in the radio.
2 - What is your definition of High quality? The sound is good through a pair of RHA 750i, but doesn't come close to a Fiio X3ii. As any phone wouldn't come close to a good mainstream dedicated media player, not to mention pairing it with a portable amp.
3 - From B140 upwards.

So no way to mirror video content via hdmi?
You could always use a Chromecast to mirror video
Im using pioneer app radio in my car which mirrors phones screen so you have your phones display mirrored on 7inch and you can operate your phone through the head unit. Thats why i need mhl

Yes, I know. I have one who does that also. But you surely cannot control the phone from the HU (Head Unit). Probably you could if it was a iPhone, like my HU does. But that control is done through USB (special one for iPhone) as I recall. There is no HDMI control signal passing through, I believe.
You can control the radio, using steering wheel buttons if you have them. Just apply a CANBUS between the HU and the buttons, to decode the signals.
There is an app designed for pioneers appradio "ARunchained" it works with amy android with mhl. Phone streams video over hdmi and touchscreen of head unit works as phones screen. Touch signal wil be send by bluetooth and you can use your head unit in the same way as you ise your phone. The only thing is that you need mhl. I was using that with note 3 then lg g4 and now i have spare phone and looking for the next one. Thats why it made me sad that honor doestnt support mhl
