I have the same issues can someone tell us more information about it?

...Ok, I've got no clue what ya'll are talking about. Are you talking about the ability to plug a Captivate into a car stereo via USB, and have the stereo play the music files off the phone? Because otherwise I have no clue what "CD player" you're talking about. Sorry, any chance you could clarify?

Does mounting the sd card work?

Are you on a stock rom? My understanding is the newer kernels can do this. I believe there its a thread in dev about usb out.
I may be way off base though. Only one cup of coffee.

Do you need to arrange the files on your phone in a specific folder? Maybe your radio has some documentation about that. Once you set your phone to USB storage, it should look no different to your radio than a flash thumb drive.
Then again it could be a driver issue, on a computer you need drivers to make the USB storage work, at least I did.

But plugging a cappy into a linux machine, it will read the SD card all day long if it's mounted. Give this a shot and post results!

it may depend on the car stereo. do you want the phone to control playback or the stereo? you may be able to mount storage and browse with the stereo but may need to find out if there is something special you need to do with the folders. also there is a way to output audi over usb, if the stero supports it you may be able to make a usb cable with a resistor to put it in dock mode. also some kernel such as xcaliburhands 2.3.3 kernel can force dockmode if paired with an app. look in his kernel thread.

I have the same issue. Its not related to mounting the drive. To me, its either a driver issue, or a problem with where the car deck looks for music first. With my previous nokia, I had no problems getting the deck to recognize the phone as a storage device. still trying to figure it out

Has anyone gotten this to work? Really sucks not having access to my phone's music library while driving.

I do this every day with my cheap jvc CD player. I actually can connect two seperate way. The car CD player has a USB Jack and a input headphone style Jack on it. When I plug in the USB from phone to CD player USB I just pull down the notification bar and mount the SD card, the stereo then will upload/view any of my files and music and show it on the screen and start to play the music. I can even control skipping/next song wwith the remote.
Secondly I plug in a headphone Jack from the phone to the input headphone type Jack and can then also use voodoo sound app to control the amplification (which makes it sound so much better). This way I have to hit the buttons on the CD player to skip to next song or use my Bluetooth headphones to skip the songs. To do this I start the music with it plugged in via the male/male headphone cable, then turn on my Bluetooth headphones, then when music starts playing in the Bluetooth headphones I open the music app and switch it to the headphone output. So I can listen via the stereo speakers and control it via the Bluetooth headphones. Hope this helps or gives some thoughts for you to get it working.

Car Bluetooth Audio Issue

Hey all, I'm having some static when playing music via the stock player through my car's Bluetooth. When using mixing I don't get it though, anyone else experiencing this?
It's a 2010 mazda3 if that helps...
Sent from my HTC Vivid that wants some perma root

i have an aftermarket kenwood touchscreen stereo in my g35. i stream pandora all the time without any issues.
what music apps have you tried?

Yeah I have a JVC head unit and I have no problems streaming google music in my BMW

2010 mazda 3 here as well. Try turning down the volume on your phone and turning up the volume of the car stereo. I was getting some distortion or clipping recently and that fixed it for me.

Yeah like I said its only occuring on the stock player, I will use google music or mixing the majority of the time without any problems. Just kind of bothersome since I love the stock player's widget

I get the same thing, using the stock player or slacker... the same thing was happening on my htc inspire and when i switched to cyanogenmod on that phone it fixed the issue. This phone cannot be perm rooted yet so that option isnt available. Do you know of any players that wont experience this problem?

[Q] Problems with Switching audio

Hi Everyone,
I have a weird problem. I tried installing skype from play store yesterday and DSPPack for player Pro and ever since i am having this weird problem.
1) When i plug in a Headset/Earphones the phone does not recognize it. The Audio from the phone calls continues through the earpiece and Music is routed to the Speaker
2) When i restart the phone with the Headset/Earphones plugged in, all the audio is played only through the Headset/Earphones (removing them the audio is not routed back to the earpiece or Speakers)
3) I found this app called SoundAbout, using this app i am able to switch between the Earpiece/Speaker and Earphones/Headset.
Can someone guide me as to how to fix this problem. I have done factory reset twice already but of no use
Thanks and regards
Sanjay

I'm on stock JB retail.EU too. I tried the features that make you problems to find out whether I've got any issue. Both video and Skype through headphones work normal, sound is transmitted via headphones. I don't use any market video player I suppose that you use MX Video Player. Try with stock player, you'll have excellent and smooth video playing. If you want to use other player because of subtitles, I recommend BSPlayer.
But what is important for the beginning is to eliminitate possible cause of your troubles. I suggest you to try these:
1. Inspect how are headphones connected. Thin click is to be heard when connected right. They shall not be inserted less and not beyond this click.
2. If you have bluetooth headphones or you can borrow them (stereo not calling headset) try whether you have the same problem with them.
3. Remove video player and check if the problem still exist with Skype.

1) The problem is not related to Hardware, otherwise SoundAbout would not work
2) Same problem with blue tooth headphones
3) I have removed skype, Player Pro
I installed Player Pro and not MX Player
I even made a factory reset (Settings - Privacy - Factory data reset).
I again made a factory reset now and as i mentioned before... the phone does not detect anything plugged into the Audio Jack. If i restart the phone with something plugged in the audio jack, all volume is routed only through the audio jack (if remove the plug, there is no audio from the earpice or built in loudspeaker) and i have to restart the phone again

Then is it obviously that you have problem with the system (JB or kernel). As I mentioned I have the identical system and no issues with voice switching. You could try to flasIt the JB once more but I wouldn't recommend. Since you have practicaly new phone the most logical solution is to bring it to the service. Its better that the service take the risk of succesful flash and it is usually done really fast.

[Q] Bluetooth still playing music while phone calls come in

Has anyone who possess the HTC One encounter an issue with bluetooth headset/car bluetooth unit which the music does not stop while a phone call is coming in and you are answering it?
If so, how do you fix that issue?
Thanks.

I listen to music on and off all day and haven't had a problem. Have you tried restarting the phone? What rom are you using? Which music app?

Restarting the phone does not help. I have this problem with both stock rom and custom roms. I use Poweramp and Stitcher and they both have problems.

Try the stock music app just to test the functionality...

Music Auto plays on bluetooth connect?

I'm having an issue with my new note 3.
When I get in my car my phone automatically connects to the cars bluetooth for audio playback, good
the problem is it automatically starts playing music from the stock player everytime. I can't seem to find a setting to turn this off. I'd like for it to at least start playing spotify if it's going to play something.
Anyone else have this issue or a solution to it?

No clue but I'd love to replace the default player with rhapsody! Or at least get the stock player to recognize my rhapsody playlists...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app

I've deleted any music that appeared in the stock music player and it has solved half the problem simply because there's nothing for it to play.

This happens on all my android devices.. I think it's a android problem and not the phone. It only happens when I play music using the stock player don't stop it when I unplug my headphones

I have Poweramp installed and it always plays from there and never from the stock player.
