[Q] TV Out ?

First off:
Running Cognition 3.04
TV is Vizio 32" LCD 1080P
3.5 mm to rca red,white,yellow
not sure the brand of cable, just one I had lying around.
I seem to be unable to get tv out to work. Is there a certain cable that works better than others?
TV OUT Settings are on, and using NTSC. I tried PAL also just in case. I tried all the tv input settings (av1,av2, ...etc)
Saw this work in numerous videos. I must be doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any input!

I Had a similar experience but my TV is older... I just presumed that the TV couldn't handle the output. At one point I was able to get a really faint sketchy image of the phone that was live but nothing that would let me watch any videos from my phone with it.
Edit: I found Twonky Server Mobile in the Market and stream from my phone to my Xbox360 with no problems. I recommend the app it's great!

I went on ebay a typed iphone tv out get the one with a 3.5mm jack

Got it to work! It was the old cable I was using. I used my buddies nice new Belkin cable and it works great!

How does the quality look? Sound too?

Video Quality: Not so great, but I really didn't expect great quality through AV Cables.
Audio: Not bad at all!
I tried a couple games through headphones coming out of the tv, and the sound was real good.

Eh, not bad. Wish it had an HDMI OUT!

Exactly, that would be sweet. I read a post on here somewhere about a cable that is mini usb to hdmi, that Samsung made but then gave up on. Why oh why would they do that?

I bought a cable from radio shack and it works fine. Connected it to my 46" samsung hdtv and an older tube tv. The older tv only had a cable input so I connected the rca thru a vcr. Both work fine. One note u do need to switch the yellow and red cables when connecting to the tv. Colors wont match up to get it to work.

Well I'm not sure what cables you are using but, Yellow is video and white and red are audio on mine so that ain't happening. But as previously mentioned, I got it to work with new cable, matched all three colors.

i read this too on a forum with the following additional info: (not sure on accuracy)
the reason it doesnt work / needs update for HDMI cable to work has something to do with the dock, in order for HDMI to work in HD through USB it requires all 5 pins/wires, and programming the phone to use them for hdmi would stop the docking cradle from putting the phone into desktop mode.
Samsung basically had a choice to make. Docking cradle with dock mode OR usb/hdmi.
**once again that was read on a forum, truthiness may very.

I just posted an email to Samsung support about compatibility and what software is needed. I will let you know what I hear.

Hi guys , did someone finally manage to get this hdmi cable to work (Samsung ECC1HU0BBEB) with the captivate
I bought it , have tried several ROM's and still nothing yet ! No signal !

[Q] Micro USB to digital audio out adapter?

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.

Auxiliary Bluetooth Car port

Anyone know of someway to use Bluetooth in any car stereo by the use of adding a Bluetooth receiver or something to the auxilliary port? I've messed my up my port on my phone before and I don't wanna do it again with my refurb . I listen to a lot of music...

You could plug an FM transmitter into the headphone socket and tune the car radio to it if that's any help, those things are very cheap these days and you can get them integrated into car chargers..

If you're willing to replace your head unit, search these forums for mention of the JVC KD-X50BT. Its a nice Bluetooth receiving head unit that apparently has some pretty decent sound. Reasonably priced, too! I plan on picking one up soon to use with my nexus.

I remember looking on ebay and seeing what looked like a bluetooth box thing that connected through the aux port.
ie this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iKross-Bluet...ltDomain_0&hash=item51a218fae1#ht_2983wt_1032
For a simpler idea, cant one just use a male to male cable to connect it?

i just bought this and recieved it today..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
its great, no loss in sound quality, easy charging and easy pairing, small with short cord, comes with an adapter so you can also connect it to stereos/tvs/etc.., also has good BT range.

Oh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Can you easily switch the chord out with a longer one?

Do an ebay search for "bluetooth receiver", you'll find all kinds of devices. As for how well they work, well, let us know. :laugh:

You can try the flexsmart x2. It has a line out and line in jack. It is charger and Bluetooth as well. If you plug the line out to the head auxiliary jack then hook the device up through Bluetooth, you won't have to keep unplugging and plugging in. It could potentially work through Bluetooth.
I would try it, bit my car radio doesn't have an auxiliary jack though. Ill see If I can figure out a way to test it and report back.

They have a bluetooth 2.0 a2dp on deal extreme, it gives pretty decent sound and is only 13$, only downside is you have to wait for like a month for it to get here. I can post links yet as I havent hit 10 posts lol, but the sku is 8422 and its on Deal Xtreme. Happy hunting

I use this one in my truck.It did not come with bluetooth and I plug this in my aux to listen to music from the n7 or phone.It works well and pairs very easy.Battery last around 12 hours during use and charges in about 2.

I use the Stereo Clip as well. I've found that battery life on it sucks, so to remedy that I have it constantly plugged into a car charger. This works for me because both my AUX port and a charging port are inside my center console, so they are both hidden from view. Otherwise, you have to recharge it every 2 days or so.

How long do you have it connected? What's your bt device play time? I guess I don't use the clip enough in a shot to really compare. But I have been happy with it and I too, have it constantly plugged into my car charger.

I like some of these that I see here. The GoGroove has pretty decent reviews but can it charge while I use it in my car? Anything that I won't have to take out of my car to charge and has pretty decent audio quality will do. Also if it sleeps on its own when a Bluetooth device isn't connected to it. Really just needs to not be so much of a hassle to use and be reliable.

Analog audio out is not supported via USB; digital only. Might I suggest a bluetooth audio bridge instead?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app

Just use your phone as a storagedevice with mp3 files on it

Best I have seen is the bluetooth audio also. I am waiting on purchasing a new headunit to see if they are going to provide better support for android in the future.

It's not a cable, but it's definitely possible in some form or another: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Sync-...876934?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c69b2a746

Really???. The original Note had a car dock with this feature and the New Samsung Desktop Smart Dock even supports it. I suppose it might require more than just a cable but the fact that they can do it in a desktop dock should mean that it is at least possible.

It is highly likely that the desktop dock has a DAC. not 100% sure though.

Why is it so unlikely (given that the Note 1 had it)?
I also had a car dock (official) for my galaxy s2 which did micro usb audio output.

this video shows the use of various USB devices on the Note, and shows automatic switching between speaker/headphone and usb audio - skip forward to 14m.

Yes this is what I want, maybe with a slightly smaller box and integrated into the car mount would be nice.

If you Google the following terms you'll find the cable you are looking for:

Title says not suitable for Note 2. That makes me a little nervous, although I can't really see why that would be the case if it works on the GS3. If anyone can clarify on this that would be great.

This is gorgeous but at $90 it's a bit steep. Also it looks like it requires charging. Not ideal if I'm just trying to use it for audio pass through to my car's head unit.
Sigh... I guess I'll just have to wait for someone to make an active cardock with this feature for the Note2. Back to searching.

question , car dock increase audio out volume ? more than audio jack 3.5mm ?
as i've read somewhere in forum there policy for sound's volume atm on note 2 and iphone5
just for 3.5mm or micro-usb too ?

I have not tested this... but, I think, if all three of these components are combined, analog from the usb is possible.

When I had my S3, I used the iBolt car dock, which came with a nice 9 foot cable. MicroUSB on one end, USB and 3.5mm audio jack on the other. This is the only cable I have found that does this. Kept the cable once I moved to the Note 2, and it still works.

Chromecast no sound from HDMI to VGA adapter with audio ouput

I am trying to use chromecast with my old projector which only got VGA input. I purchase a HDMI to VGA adapter which also has a audio output.
The audio works with my xbox360 and Patriot box office (the PBO needs to be set to HDMI LPCM Stereo). However, I could not get any audio using the same adapter from Chromecast. Is anything special about the audio output in Chromecast since the adapter is working with other devices?

VGA is only for display. It doesn't have the capability to transfer sound.

I'm going to start off with the possible stupid reasons so please don't get insulted by the question! LOL
Are you sure your in the right Audio In? Most of the time VGA in will have it's own Audio Input which in most cases is a Mini Phone (headphone) Jack. Hard to see sometimes unless your looking for it.
If thats not the issue, Check the Menu on the Projector to see if there is a setting for which Audio source to use when on VGA.
I'm guessing you have a bunch of connectors (I'm betting 10, 3 for Analog/Composite, 5 for Component, 1 VGA and one for VGA Audio.)
But sometimes both the Component and VGA use the Analog Audio inputs for their audio, Depends on the Manf.

Well it may not be enough power to drive headphones but enough to drive the XBox which is probably line level in.
Headphones require a higher power signal than Line Level...You might hear something but it will be too low and possibly not at all.
If you can send me a link to the device you have I can take a look to see what it puts out.
In most cases they only put out Line Level not Speaker Level.

Given that the device seems to be powered by the HDMI connection, almost certain it does not have an audio amplifier.
As a whole the device seems a bit scary to me, especially since it claims to support HDMI 1.2 (not sure where the chips are coming from at a $10 price tag), the support mail address is gmail, and support number is in Mountain View, CA - so just might be someone importing stuff. selle reviews on Newegg are spotty at best, but who knows these days...

I'm quite happy with my HDfury2 output from Chromecast.
If the $10 solution works, great, but unless it's using recycled HDCP chips from a major manufacturer, it's likely to get blacklisted.
