I posted a reply to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450197 because it also talks about such an adapter, but I thought I would post a new thread for the phone that I actually have.
I'm looking for a extUSB to 3.5mm adapter, but not the common kind that allows you to plug in stereo headphones or has a microphone built inside the adapter. I'm looking for an adapter that allows you to plug in stereo headsets with in-line microphones. These headsets are designed for iPhones and BlackBerrys and has a 3.5mm connector with an extra ring to support the microphone, and I'm hoping to find an extUSB adapter that supports 3.5mm connectors with three rings so the microphone would work. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Thanks.
I use this one. It's kind of big but it is the only i can find that I am able to use my iphone headphones with inline mic. After cupcake came out the adapter stopped working but is now working with cyanogen's rom. I would love to find another smaller one that will work with an inline mic.
Thank you so much flowidc for confirming that such a thing actually exists! Please keep me up to date on your quest to find a smaller version of the adapter.

I have this same HTC usb to stereo with mic adapter and have used it with Cyan 4.04, Cyan 41x, and all the Hero Roms and had no problems. I use both Blackberry earpieces w/ mic and a cheapo earpiece w/ mic. I like way better than the regular HTC usb adapter and earbuds.
I found it on Ebay, I offered the guy $5 and he accepted my offer. Here is the link

this might be a stupid question, but would the HTC Multifunction Audio Adapter allow you to use a headset that comes with a mic, or would you have to use a earpiece along with an inline microphone?
thanks

You just use a headset that has a built in mic.
*edit*
Nevermind, same thing already posted but for much less...

Great adapter and good build quality too (it has rubbery coating on the cable and it doesn't feel/look cheap unlike some adapters with this style). Great for driving headset since it already has built-in mic. You can use any headphones you want, even though I think the original pair that comes with it performs quite well. The downside is that there's no manual volume control on it, but I can live with that.
Dream not of inline microphones...
I got the OEM adapter as well, but on my ADP1, it doesn't fully work;
I can charge, but the 3.5 and 2.5 jacks are dead. They neither work as outputs or inputs. If I plug an EXtUSB to 3.5 adapter into the EXTUSB headset port on the OEM adapter, the phone's microphone is disabled.
I really want an adapter that can be used to connect, via 3.5 wire, to the car stereo, and still be able to use the phone's microphone, or be able to plug in an external microphone for hands-free use.

I have a similar setup, I discovered yesterday on the way home a way to get audio through the 3.5mm jack. This is a convoluted way, but it did work.
1. I had my OEM adapter plugged in
2. I plugged in my OEM headset to the headset jack
3. I plugged in the 3.5mm adapter into the 3.5mm jack
4. Started the music player
The sound came through both the headset and the car radio, unplugged the headset and the sound continued to play through the radio. Once the 3.5mm jack is unplugged, the process will need to be repeated. I hope this helps.

I've got a USB charging cradle in my car which works fine.
I use a 3.5mm cable to connect my mp3 player to the car stereo which works fine.
I tried playing music from my HD to the stereo whilst charging and I get awful white noise and a constant pinging noise. If I take the phone off the charger it works fine. I can't find anything in the wiki or forums and I've seen some people on other forums with the same problem.
Anyone know what is wrong with this setup or I need a different spec cable (I guess its a standard stereo 3.5mm cable, so 3 contacts and I think the HTC one has 4 coz of the mic, but it works fine when I stop charging it. I guess it could also be a problem with the pins on the USB charger, but I thought the HD didn't have the extUSB connection.
I'm off to the USA on Sunday with a hire car so it would be really handy to be able to charge and play music!
I know its going to be the talk of the town for the Pixel 2 but I am wondering if if something that is possible with the original Pixel and if anyone has found a quality dongle for that purpose.
I have a car that doesn't do bluetooth audio but in my armrest I have a power port and aux port right by each other. I used to use it to power a bluetooth receiver but Google broke bluetooth audio to receivers with no volume controller in it with the "absolute volume" bug.
So now I am stuck having to use a cable, or two cables if I need to charge. Im wondering if there would be a way to use a dongle to merge that power and aux into a single USB-C cable to run out to the phone. Willing to pay for one with a decent DAC if one exists.
When travelling, I have used an audio y-splitter to hook up two headphones so that me and my girlfriend can listen to a movie at the same time. How can I accomplish this without a headphone jack? I have seen some 3.5mm + USB C dongles on Amazon that claim to charge the phone while hooked up to a headphone. However, nobody claims to be able to listen to audio from both ports. Is this possible at all?
use the USBC to 1/8 adapter that came with the box, then plug in your 1/8 y-adapter
That's what I wanted to avoid. It looks ridiculous with all these adapters. Any way to have Bluetooth and the USB C headphone going simultaneously?
My Pixel does not record audio from external microphones, anymore. There's always a very loud static noise in the background. I replaced many parts and the only option left is to replace the motherboard.
But then I thought "what if I could connect a microphone or headset to the USB port?"
So is there any USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter that works with the Pixel?
If you're curious about whether or not if this works, I can confirm that it does. I used my Pixel 3 USB-C to 3.5mm jack adapter along with a headset w/ mic and record my own voice to see if it would work and I was able to record my voice. I didn't make a call with it since I don't have a SIM card in the device.
