Needed: Cable to connect 2nd monitor to ASUS Chromebox 3 N018U - Chromebooks

I have an ASUS Chromebox 3 N018U model. I am looking for a USB-A to VGA or USB-A to DVI cable to connect a second monitor.
NOTE - this model of Chromebox does not have a USB-C port.
NOTE 2 - My monitors do not have an HDMI port
Can anyone recommend a cable that worked for them (either USB-A to VGA or USB-A to DVI)?
Thanks!

[Question] Usb and HDMI

Is it possible to use at the same time the hdmi adapter and the usb adapter?
Thanks
No. Even if you could connect the usb adapter to the hdmi adapter, the hdmi adapter wouldn't work because the usb adapter takes up the 30pin port and the hdmi adapter would miss the power source it needs to run.

Can we use TV out on HTC Flyer by RCA AV TV adapter Cable ?

I am a user of HTC Flyer and I have done some research on connecting it with TV . I know that it is possible threw MHL adopter and HDMI cable. But what I am saying is that can it be possible threw RCA AV TV adapter Cable. I want to know that if it will support internally because physically I think it is possible. Here is how :-
1. First we will connect HTC Flyer threw OTG cable (Micro-USB to Standard USB Female cable).
2. Then we can connect OTG cable (Standard USB Female Port) to USB Male A to 3 RCA AV A/V TV adapter Cord Cable.
3. Then 3 RCA Port to A/V TV.
Has any body thought of it. Can it be possible. Please reply. I think this will change my way of using HTC Flyer if it is possible.
Please suggest.
i am not sure i get what you think is possible, but converting DIGITAL to ANALOG signals require a converter outside your flyer for this to be possible, so its not all cabling solutions you think you need here. the cable you think of is pure analog reception, and digital cables are pure 0 and 1's

HDMI and USB OTG at the same time, possible?

Hi,
Has anyone managed to successfully find a solution to give an hdmi out display from the note pro 12.2, at the same time as a usb port via otg cable.
What I essentially want to do is to have the note pro at my desk connected via hdmi to a monitor, and still be able to use usb devices such as pen drives etc. Is there any kind of cable combination that will allow for this? I've not been able to find anything.
Thanks
Duncan
I have these:
Usb 3.0 Hub:

Usb OTG (with connection for external charger, a must have if you're gonna power devices via USB)

USB A to microUSB adapter, this one is for the HDMI cable:

You should try all-share-cast or screen cast(via miracast/chromecast) for video and audio. That would do everything easier.

USB-C 'Type C' Accessories and Cables for XZ P - Identify what works with the XZ P ?

Hello,
I'm currently looking for some USB-C cables and adapters for use with the XZ P with only limited success....
Items which I have found do work with the XZ P are:
USB-C to USB A or uUSB Sync-Charge Cables
Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter - Short [13cm] (equivalent to 'old' USB2 spec OTG function)
[USB Type C Powerline Specification Gen 1]
Flash Drives - A variety of Flash Drives have been successfully recognised by the XZ P using this adapter and mount as normal storage alongside the built-in uSD card.
Micro SD Card Reader - The Lexar C1 microSD Reader works perfectly.
Hard Disc Drives - I have successfully mounted a Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2 TB USB 3.0 Portable 2.5 inch External Hard Drive using this adapter (formatted as exFAT) together with a Lindy 0.5m USB 3.0 Dual Power Cable, 2 x Type A to Micro-B cable. Power is supplied either from a convenient USB port or a portable power bank. Also a Zalman ZM-VE300 external HDD enclosure fitted with a similar Seagate 2TB 2.5" HDD, also exFAT. FAT32 will also work but only up to 32GB with a 4GB file size limit; NTFS is not recognised.
There does not appear to be any sign of the former manual USB Detection option under Settings, but so far Android seems to just auto-detect, albeit without any apparent notification, which seems a little odd, given the system insists on issuing notifications for everything under the sun otherwise...
>> Update - the OS appears to content itself with a notification labelled "Android System" in the drop-down with the drive name shown. You can then click through to see the drive contents from there or access via Settings | Storage & Memory. <<

[Stated as USB3.0]
This one is pending and will be reported when received/tested:
3 in 1 USB C Type C OTG Charging Host Cable
USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Adapters (with/without Charge-Through option)
The USB-C spec for Audio Adapter Accessory Mode says:
USB-C plug supports analog headsets through an audio adapter accessory with a 3.5 mm socket providing four standard analog audio signals (Left, Right, Mic, and GND). The audio adapter may optionally include a USB-C pass-through plug to allow 500 mA device charging.
But I have had no joy with the following:
Type C USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack Adapter, ADTRIP 15cm
Belker Type C to 3.5mm Audio Headphone Stereo Adapter ConnectorDISDIM 2 in 1 Type C to 3.5mm Audio Headphone Jack Adapter with Charger
Motorola Moto Z Connector Type C to 3.5mm Headphone Stereo Adapter Connector
None of these audio adapters seem to be recognised by the phone, either natively or by trying to force a connection using SoundAbout Pro .
It is currently unclear whether Sony have implemented the USB Type C Audio Adapter Accessory Mode (Analogue Audio output) - if anyone has any information on implementation and/or any dongles / software combinations which would facilitate this functionality will be greatly appreciated !
The following uSD Card Reader has also been tried without success:
Rocketek USB C Portable Card Reader for Micro SD Cards
Other Potential Connectivity Members have reported do not work in other posts
- USB-C to Ethernet
- USB-C to HDMI
- USB-C to DisplayPort
- USB-C to VGA
It appears that video-out capability is probably not present, but again, if anyone has any definitive information we can capture it would be useful !
There is a substantial amount of information regarding various USB-C cables collated by Benson Leung of Google on USB-C cables, including an 'approved' list, which incorporates some of those mentioned above.
Best regards,
Kevin

I've personally had great success with Type C cables from Rampow. I just wish they had a 6' or 10' cable. Here is a link to the Amazon page.
USB C Cable RAMPOW Type C to USB 3.0 Braided Charging Cable [3.3ft/Space Gray] - for LG G5/V20, Nexus 5X/6P, Samsung Galaxy S8, Moto Z, Nintendo Switch and other Devices https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4OKUB8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YTttzbJ2FPQTP
I borrowed one of these from a buddy with an SGS8+ and bought a 2pk for myself-- works great so far.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M8QRM7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Also picked up some adapters. Seem to be working on the two cables I've tried so far (just for charging)

Hi Kevin. Thanks for linking to my USB-C to HDMI thread.
If you read that thread again you will find your answer on whether or not the Xperia XZ premium supports audiovisual output to TV using a simple USB-C to HDMI cable!
USB-C to 3,5mm Audio Jack
I bought two, in order to be sure and both work like a charm, just plug and play:
XIIVIO Audio Adaptor Type C to 3.5 mm
HTC USB-C Digital to 3.5mm adaptor
I had success with the Dell Business Dock WD15 with my XZ1c (which is basically the same device family, so it should work).
I could only try out the USB hub part of the dock, tho (had access to keyboard, mouse and drives), not sure yet about the display and ethernet.
I once tried the docking station from my nintendo switch.
Phone starts charging but no video/audio output.

Huawei Mate 20 pro Desktop mode

Hi Guys,
I have Huawei Mate 20 pro and one of the reasons to buy this was the desktop mode.
I have an old HP monitor that has 3 ports (DVI, VGA and display port). So I bought 3 things. USB c to HDMI dock. HDMI Cable and HDMI to DVI Converter. I plugged all these in and my monitor is not picking any signals.
I think that the USB c to HDMI dock might be faulty so i ordered a new one but would it be better if i just get the USB c to DVI cable ? I wont be able to charge the phone but atleast it would work.
Can anyone advise ? I just want to use the Desktop mode on my old monitor with mouse, keyboard and charging.
I have a choetech usb-c to hdmi adapter that works perfectly for the mate 20 pro. I cannot advise how other bits will work.
Thanks for this message, I didn't even know that there was a desktop mode on my phone
I have a Startech adapter from USB-C to DVI, HDMI, VGA or miniDP and just tested out, everything works fine.
Maybe the resolution of your monitor is not supported?
