Hello,
I am making navigation system out of my android tablet, and i faced a problem that not all times i connect USB DAC, android sends audio data to USB, but rather to internal speakers (some times it does that, sometimes it does not)
Is where a simple way how to set to use USB as main audio source, and block headphones or any other audio source ?
Same apply to FM radio, i can plug headphones so it would act as antenna, but i still need audio to be rooted to USB DAC
Small support via PayPal for some one who give me the right answer
I would like to know too

Can it be done?
When I connect via aux cable with my car nothing happens when I press previous/next on the car radio.
Thanks
Probably bc the standard 3.5mm headphone jack is only for transmitting audio, not to control anything.
This should be possible if you have a radio with USB input for flash drives or ipods but not over an aux cable. Perhaps you could try to find an aux cable with the track forward/reverse built in to the cable? I know I've seen headphones with it but not sure about the cable alone..
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I had an aux in fitted in my car and was told the next/previous would work. When it didnt they said it would only work on a ipod. Interesting comment about the cable - anyone able to confirm whether the headphones lead is different?
To be honest, with the swipe action on the music player, this doesnt really bother me as its easy to do this whilst driving. However, I'd like to switch to another music app given the random function doesnt work properly....
I definitely know where youre coming from, I've always used an ipod for music, but want to use my mt4g now (or try to).
I messed around today and here's what I've came up with:
with the aux cable (standard 3.5mm headphone cable) you only have control of the tracks on the device, not with the radio's controls. you might be able to find cable with seek buttons built in (like some headphones) to make it easier but I've never actually seen one.
If your radio has a usb input on it you can connect your phone via usb, mount the sd card (as if using mass storage on a comp) and your radio should detect and read it as a flash drive. going this route your phone will charge, but you'll ONLY be able to control tracks from the radio head unit and you wont be able to listen to Slacker Radio or Pandora or other similar apps via usb. another plus is that the processing is done by the headunit, thus you could use your headunits random function.
The last option (that I think is king) is if you have a bluetooth enabled headunit, the HD2 can stream audio over bluetooth (a2dp) to your radio. You could then pair and stream music, Slacker, Pandora, etc and maintain control on the device (I would prefer control on device and radio, but i dont see this happening) wirelessly. One huge plus to me is that you can charge it while keeping fully functionality with only one cable.
I cant find a cable with anything other than volume controls, but I wonder if either of these options would help

I've been using a BT Venturi Mini for about a year now and it works perfect. You can change streamed track/ stop start and it has no wires.So no mess, best investment ever. Plus, you can pick up calls/ voicemail via car stereo too.
Sound quality excellent, especially when you increase BT pool bitrate via HD2 tweak.
Perhaps if someone modded the headphones that come with the HD2 so that they go from 3.5 to 3.5 with the controls in the middle of the wire to use ?
I have a monitor with HDMI input but it doesn't have a internal speaker.
I want to get sound via my analog external speaker.
What can i do for this?
Thanks.
If your monitor doesn't have an analog audio output, AFAIK it's not possible to get an audio signal from Atrix's audio connector.
A good option may be a bluetooth AD2P stereo audio connection (the audio would out through bluetooth not HDMI) but you would need something which supports it.
Sry for my crappy english.
There are some adapter boxes and switches which do this, I know some Xbox users who needed a similar thing but it wasn't that interesting to me at the time, so I can only say look it up in xbox forums, sorry.
headphone out would be cheap and easy, but and extra thing to plug in.
Just plugged my external speaker to 3.5" audio output and it works.
I did not think at all thats so easy
Is there any way to record stereo audio from an external source?
I want to use my phone like the line-in port of my laptop. At the moment i've managed to plug a 4 pin 3.5mm jack to 3xRCA, but this provide 2 mono-out and a mono-in (the phone recognize this as a stereo headset with built in microphone).
I wonder if is possible to obtain a stereo line in, maybe using an adaptor on the usb port.
Tnx!
any idea? or just know if it is possible or not.
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?
Hi,
Many cars have a USB socket into which the driver / passenger can plug their MP3 devices and listen to music through the car's audio system. Can an Android phone redirect its sound to the car's USB, like it does for Bluetooth (if the car has one)?
I know this does not happen by default. But for cars that do not have BT, it would be useful if there was some application / hack which allowed me to do phone calls and listen to any media (including directions from a navigation system) by plugging the Android phone into the USB.
Theoretically, I can imagine some piece of software (not sure if an Android app can do that) that would represent itself to the car's audio system as an mp3 player, capture all audio-out of the phone, and play it as a single (continuous) mp3. When the phone does not produce any audio, it would just put silence into the generated mp3.
Thanks,
Shlomy
** Edit: Simple solution found. I have an AUX port next to the USB port in the car. Connecting the phone's earphone socket to AUX in the car (with a standard 3.5 cable) does the same thing that I wanted.
