Ok I love this phone besides the ics lack but I have a question my Samsung captivate is able to display out the earphone port. Would it be hard to get the same function from the thrill? Before you say just use the hdmi port I would if the phone could convert digital to analog signal through hdmi! I wanna use it as a video source in my van, in which no car stereo has an hdmi port that I'm aware of anyways and money is also a factor!

I can't say I know much of anything about the stuff I'm going to ask about in this thread (probably why I'm asking it, right?) But is there a possibility that the SGS could output a multimedia stream via USB to another piece of equipment that could then output to HDMI? Would this be something an arduino could handle?

I don't think the Captivate has the inner hardware to support it.
I contacted Samsung about using the Micro Usb to HDMI Out cable for the TV out funtion and they that it would not work with this phone.

I'm not talking about USB to HDMI. I'm talking more along the lines of having a high def multimedia output via USB to another piece of hardware that can interpret the stream and output to HDMI in realtime.
If you have a way to connect it to a PC with and HDMI out, I'm not sure the capabilities of the captivate but if you have a way to get it from USB to either VGA or DVI dual link(specifally) you can get a converter from one of the two to HDMI, although from VGA to HDMI a converter is $100+ , I can't imagine it would be much different than getting a PC with VGA out connected to a TV with HDMI in, and that's the exact method I would use

I was if Note is able to output "digital" audio signal via it's micro usb port. So, it can connect to a external DAC for better processing. Has anyone tried this or know where I can buy adapter for this purpose?

There has been some discussion in using an MHL HDMI adaptor and then an HDMI to digital out, like TOSLINK/OPTICAL. A bit clunky. The HMDI must output digital audio. I would like to see someone try it and report. I've found the sound quality a bit crappy.
Try playing a FLAC file as opposed to MP3. Really not worth bothering with MP3 if you are looking at an external DAC.
So I found this
Expensive but its an HDMI to headphone amp. 24/192k 110dB
Some newer HTav amps have HDMI input, would love to see someone hook up a note to one and report on audio quality!
and this. Bit cheaper, but if anyone has one, rip it open and tell us what the chips are!
The s3 has usb audio support. Check it out over in the S3 forums or google it. only certain usb dacs are Supported hopefully it will be ported to the Note! if you have ICS, root and a usb audio device you could check dmesg output. Can't post links from my phone. I read about the glandos kernel that might be worth looking at. Its some exciting development.

Hi all
i was wondering if anyone was using their nexus with a monitor/PC display?
i've got a perfectly nice 21" dell LCD sitting opposite me and i'd like to hook that up to my nexus
however, it obviously doesnt have speakers!
is it possible to use a splitter of some sort that splits the hdmi to hdmi and audio or a programme that lets me output the video from hdmi but the audio from the 3.5mm?
many thanks
I just now hooked my hdmi to my TV and hooked some ear buds to the tablet... When I hook the buds in it reroutes the audio to the buds... So it should work for you with speakers that have a 3.5mm jack

Having read through previous threads, I can't seem to find a fix for not receiving any sound through the HDMI connection.
I've tried with 2 different HDMI cables, multiple HDMI inputs including ARC on both the TV and the Samsung 5.1 surround sound system.
Also tried manipulating the Accessory settings to no avail.
Any help or new suggestions would be greatly appreciated, otherwise 3.5m audio jack connection it is!

When I was looking at the dock, I'm pretty sure the 3.5mm output had to be used for the audio. The only people that can confirm are the ones that have them I guess.

I have the dock, I simply can't get audio through the HDMI connection for some reason. Other users are reporting that they can indeed receive audio through the HDMI connection.
It's a thinker!

The site does say:
You can even connect your Samsung Galaxy Note II to your home theater via the 3.5mm stereo connector for an immersive audio experience.
If it simply just worked through HDMI, I don't think Samsung would have said anything. Not saying you're wrong. Just saying from a media / marketing stand point.
I have no problem with sound through hdmi. That are my settings what work for me with lg tv

That worked great for me thanks! I knew it was possible, I just wasn't sure whether it was a settings or hardware issue! Seems kinda counterintuitive that the setting I had to untick was allowing sound through external speakers!? :silly:
Nice. Glad you got it. Samsung Y U Confuse me.

Hello there.
I'm getting a n7105 and I'm searching for a car dock able to take out audio for USB port and send it to a jack in order to connect it to the car hifi.
Does this exist for Note 2?
Thanks and best regards
The iBolt xprodock finally comes with the cable you're talking about.

Thank you so much for information.
Do you know if our can route calls through jack, too?
I'm not sure, I don't have the dock myself.
You can ask in the thread about the dock though, a few people have received their cables and should be able to answer your questions.
I have the dock with cable the audio works

You can use the iBOLT cable which will do audio out with every 4.1.x or 4.2.x ROM/kernel available or you can get a cheap "Chinese" eBay cable which will work on 4.1.x with Perseus, Trinity, or Devil kernels. Maybe more support old school car mode, but these 3 do for sure and stock does not.
