Hello,
when I plug my Lg optimus 3D (canadian version of the thrill) onto HDMI, the audio automatically goes out. Seems like audio jack and Hdmi at the same time can't work.
Seriously this sucks and if it's because of the stock firmware i'm going to cry because of this effin ****ty froyo stock firmware...
So.. now that I got out my frustration...
Anybody have an idea to restore audio while in hdmi?
What I want to do is plug my thrill to my dvi full hd screen via an hdmi to dvi cable (this works) but the screen is a computer screen so no audio and I wan't to get it via bluetooth or the audio jack
thanks in advance!

Okay so I'm planning on buying a new monitor. the ASUS MS238H and it has a 3.5mm hole that says "For HDMI" and a HDMI port. I was planning on hooking my xbox 360 up to it, and I want audio for it and my PC so I was thinking could I plug a 3.5mm cable from my speakers AUX port to the monitor and have it work, or do I need to split the audio coming from the speakers main cable for it to be able to work with my PC and XBOX360. Please anything will help.
Verify the specifications on both devices ... I seem to recall reading somewhere that audio can be transferred over the HDMI cable. I suggest doing a quick Google search on:
hdmi audio xbox360
HTH,
the hdmi cable should have audio built in.
Is it a hdmi to hdmi video + 3.5mm audio?
i dont think they do them put id try searching for hdmi to hdmi video + phono (l r) audio and get a converter

well the monitor doesn't have built in speakers that's the problem. The monitor has a plug that says "for hdmi" and it's a 3.5mm plug, and I have speakers with a AUX plug and I plan on plugging in my 3.5mm cable to the monitor through that. So I was wondering if it works.
Have a look at the the following XBOX360 accessory:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable
The Xbox 360 HDMI Cable provides gamers with separate audio and video connections via the included Audio Adapter. The Audio Adapter allows HDMI video to be routed to the HDTV with the audio routed separately to the home speaker system. Without the Audio Adapter the video and audio signals are both carried by the HDMI cable. This means users without an HDMI receiver (new/costly) must listen to their Xbox 360 game and movie audio via their TV speakers.
One wire for both digital audio and video
Experience high definition movies and games at up to 1080p resolution
Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound output
Optical/RCA Audio Adapter included for non-HDMI supported stereo systems
2 meter (6.5 feet) shielded cable

So the monitor has the hdmi in then a 3.5mm socket out for audio?

In the midst of downloading the manual for the display ... I suspect the 3.5mm jack is audio out for mini-speakers.
* EDIT *
Well ... the manual is a Quick Start fold-out which doesn't provide much more info than what is posted on their site. The fold-out indicates that the ports on the back are 1) DC-IN, 2) HDMI-IN/DVI, 3) VGA, 4) Earphone - Out. Based on the limited info presented, I suspect that the audio/video is carried through the HDMI cable and port #4 could be used for a headset or mini-speakers.
Best thing would be to call ASUS up for confirmation before making the purchase.
I have a similar setup running on my screen and a set of speakers and a ps3. The way i did it was to send the video over HDMI and then the audio over a RCA connection. This meant that i can have clear audio.
If you do it over HDMI then Headphones, you meet the asus monitor amp (wont be great) i personally would suggest buying the adaptor that outputs RCA and digital optical, that plugs into the old standard component port on the back. Will be much easier and also you will not have audio levels controlled in 2 places.
I wanted to do it similar to you but i wanted a proper aux out to my speakers, no such monitor in my price range exisits at least or really needs it tbh.
Yeah thanks for all your help. I decided to buy a different ASUS monitor with built in speakers. Didn't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up.
Hello,
I have 7"indash screen in my car wich I connect with my laptop to enjoy music, video's, navigation etc.
Once I heard that the latest phones are equipped with HD content, dual core processors and hdmi connectors I thought why not use à phone as a carpc.
I now have a 7"screen that connects with a vga cable but newer ones have hdmi connectors.
Now because my cars screen doesn't play audio (that is handeled by the Cars radio) I would like to know if it's possible to use the LG Optimus 2x Hdmi out only for video so that it's still possible to use the 3.5 earphones jack for audio out.
Could anyone please check this.
Maybe the Motorola Atrix would be better for what I would like to do since it has a special multimedia dock with seperate hdmi and earphone output.
Also can some one tell me if there is a different between the Hdmi mirroring of the lg and The hdmi output of the Atrix?
Thanks!

If i connect 3,5mm headset then i get sound from headset and no sound from hdmi.
It will work just fine for you
optimus 2x has full hdmi mirroring and atrix i don't know.
The atrix does not have HDMI mirroring out of the box, maybe the XDA brains will found out how to unlock it on the atrix later.
Thanks for your reply I just needed to have that information.
So if you connect your optimus to an HDTV by hdmi you will get video and audio (as it should be) but if you than connect your headphones to the phone it automaticly switches: hdmi sound off (video still working) headphones sound on.
That's correct?
Do you already own a lg optimus 2x? Are they for sale in the Netherlands?

Yes, that‘s correct. I own optimus 2x since last friday look at studentmobiel.nl.
Hi
I am trying to use my LG P990 as a car pc.
Now the screen in my car is 7" and only has a vga input.
Audio is played on my car's stereo system using rca or line in cables.
I bought a converter for this case HDMI-VGA from König:
Connectors: 1x input HDMI female
1x output VGA + 2xRCA female
• Supports HDMI resolution: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i en 1080p
• Supports Analogue Video output up to UXGA and 1080p with 10-bit DAC
• High performance up to 1.65 GBps/165 MHz
• HDCP 1.2 support
• LED indication power.
• Built-in equalizer.
• Power: 5V
Once I use this converter the HDMI mirroring from the LG P990 works on my 7" car screen no problem.
But the audio is only played on my phone and is not passet through by the rca cables to my car audio system.
I checked if there are any options of changing the audio output but couldn't find any.
Normaly when I use the mirco HDMI to a tv it play's video and audio through the HDMI cable on the screen.
But now it only play's on the phone it's speaker.
I can still get the audio to work on my car's speakers by using the headphone 3.5 line out.
But this means an extra cable coming from my phone wich I rather loose.
I tried other devices with this converter but only my PS3 will send sound through the RCA to the TV, however no video.
I contacted König with my problem and will post what they tell me.
But I think the problem is with my LG P990 audio out.
Any idea's?
I think the problem is simply your phone not recognizing your setup. Your best bet might be using the minijack connection, might be an extra cable but saves you the hassle.
Also this is the wrong section, should be in Q & A.
sorry for wrong section, I don't think I can change that now.
Is there any way of force audio output?
Or selection different options?
Well it's clear what is causing your problem, but I don't think you'll be able to fix it. As you proved with experimenting, HDMI devices are having problems with recognizing what they are connected to. Maybe you've got a bad unit, maybe it's a general problem with design. Use warranty to get new one, if that doesn't work try to get your money back and buy something else. Can't recommend anything, sorry.
But, interesting project! Not so long ago I was thinking about going that CarPC way too and now it's easier than ever . You will not have touch input on 7" LCD but anyway...
Hello all,
I am having an HDMI IN to DVI converter on my monitor, and I am unable to buy HDMI to DVI with Audio converter right now.
Is there any way where I can get the audio from 3.5mm jack/phone speaker instead of HDMI itself? The reason is audio signal is lost when we convert HDMI to DVI.
If you have a speaker system with an External source, plug it in there. Alternatively, you could plug it into the Mic port and tell Windows (Which I assume you're using!) not to mute any of the input.
I have a speaker system, can I plug it in the 3.5mm jack output of my phone and at the same time use HDMI as a video source? I thought when using HDMI port, the 3.5mm jack audio of the phone would be disabled.

it should work cause the HDMI audio is intented as the speaker of the phone then plugging in the 3.5" jack it should switch to it...
Here is my set-up:
A Vivo LTV42FHDN 42” Full HD TV (2x HDMI inputs, 1x RCA stereo audio output, few other audio and video input connectors, and a set of really crappy built-in speakers)
A Logitech 2.1 Speaker system connected to TV's RCA audio output
An old DELL XPS M1330 notebook running Windows 7 hooked up to the TV via one HDMI port
A new Chromecast I’m trying to setup connected to the other HDMI port.
When I watch TV and switch to the HDMI input of the PC I get audio through both the TV’s crappy built in speakers as well as the much better sounding Logitech Speakers. However, when I switch to the Chromecast I only hear audio through TV’s built-in speakers. I have connected other PCs and tablets through HDMI before and from what I recall, sound always came out external speakers.
Is there any reason for the PC and Chromecast to behave differently when connected via HDMI ? I tried both HDMI ports, went through TV's audio settings (which only has very few settings like bass, treble, and some sound profiles), but couldn't get the chromecast to output audio through external speakers.
Does this mean Chromecast doesn’t support somesort of an HDMI specification/standard my old PC does, therefore the TV can't split and reroute the audio ? Is there any way to get around this without buying new hardware ? Other than audio, rest of it works great ! For me spending $50 or so extra on additional hardware really defeats the purpose of buying a Chromecast, because for that price I could've bought a DLNA enabled media player.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I'm not sure about your LG, but my Sony correctly re-routes audio from Chromecast to SPDIF (optical) output connected to AVR, so the Chromecast isn't a problem. I'm not sure about analog RCA output though.
Just go through your TV settings again. There must be an option burried somewhere in menus.

Thanks for your reply, I did go through all the settings on the TV and even read the manual. But couldn't find anything there. Its not a very high-end TV, hence no optical output, all I have is that stereo analogue output.
Few minutes after posting I again connected my new notebook, and a Windows 8 tablet, audio works fine with all of them. But the Chromecast just doesn't work the same way. When I tested I connected all devices to the same HDMI port and didn't change anything on the TV, all I did was plug one in > test > unplug > plug the next one in > test etc.. that's all.. the fact that everything but the Chromecast work has to mean there is something different in Chromecast's HDMI signal.

Try switching the audio output in whatever application you're casting from to Stereo.
If Chromecast is sending multichannel audio, your TV might be smart enough to decode and play it on its speakers, but not smart enough to downmix to the analog output.

Hi,Were you able to resolve this problem? Chromecast works great except for this exact same annoying problem. Also have the same TV. Thanks.
