[Q] Any one tried TV-Out Capability on Captivate

Hi,
I am a new user to the forums. Recently I have purchased TV out original samsung 3.5 to RCA cable for TV out capability but I see distorted image on TV. Thought it was a cable problem and went to at&t device support center but they couldn't help me out because they can't test my device at there center. I wonder any one tried it and if so is there any limitation on hardware/software for captivate.
Please help.

Mine works just fine, quality is comparable to an old VHS vcr.
Some cables you have to switch the red audio out with the video to get them to work right.(use right audio for video, and video for right audio)

Thank you Nick for the quick input. I appreciate your concern.

Might want to also try jacking with the cable on the phone end.
The 3.5mm Jack isn't exactly a "Great" output mthod for Video. Try just pulling it up and pushing it down a little. You can fell where the grooves are. Just try to move them around in there to get a better connection.
Thats what worked for me @ least.

I'm slightly miffed as to why Samsung decided no HDMI out, and instead stuck with a crappy 3.5mm headphone out for video.

Works fine for me....can't seem to get the volume any louder though

I also get the same distorted video and a buzzing-hum that drowns out the audio with my 3.5 to RCA/AV cable. I have tried both tv out settings on the phone and swapping the red and yellow ends of the cable. I can, however, use my Play Station 3 to watch, copy and save videos and pictures with the usb cable. It works great and gives awesome audio and video.

Same here.

I just ordered an RCA out cable and am really excited to get it. Even thought it isn't HD it will still be really nice to do.

I was surprised with how good the quality is. I use a cable that came with my Zune dock. It matches correctly to the inputs. My phone looked much better than the Zune did using the same cables.
The audio was great, and the video was as others said VHS quality. Definately watchable. I will say the landscape quality was much better than the portrait quality. On my HDTV I want to say it wasn't full screen, but using the zoom in the TV menu it became full screen, correct proportion.
I agree that Samsung leaving out HDMI support is bad, and disappointing after they told everyone a micro-usb to HDMI cable would fix that, then changed their minds.
This is a problem I won't trouble myself with much longer, I plan on getting an Atrix when they come out.

SM Galaxy S Captivate I896 running CM7: 3.5 mm to AV out?
Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone knows whether or not I can use the 3.5 MM to AV out option with a Captivate I896 that has been modded with Cyanogen Mod 7.
I don't seem to have the TV out option in my display settings.

As far as I know it's not (yet) supported by cm7. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Interested in the whole PS3 thing. How do hook up phone to PS3? Headphone jack to USB or a way to go micro-usb to USB?

Curti.nogg is correct, unfortunately :-( TV-out is not yet supported with CM7. Maybe if enough people talk about the devs will look into it...

I just use the usb cable that came with the phone or any other micro usb to usb 2.0 cable. Just write folders on your phone's sd card named PHOTO, MUSIC and VIDEO. Put your photos, music and/or video into the corresponding folders. Plug the phone to the PS3 via usb cable. Turn on usb debugging on the phone. Now look on the PS3 in PHOTO, MUSIC or VIDEO for USB MEDIA STORAGE. There will be all your stuff. You can copy back and forth or just play it on the tv or sound system.
Sorry it took so long to answer, I totally forgot all about this thread.

USB Audio out to DAC works with Trinity Kernel

It took about two weeks for me to figure out the Trinity Kernel supports USB audio out to my E17 DAC/headphone amp. Works great and is slicker than the previously working Poitee kernel which was getting stale.
Just root and install the Trinity kernel and make the change in your audio config as discussed in his thread and reboot while connected to a DAC and it will work.
Hopefully this will spare people the pain of trying to get DAC working.

It appears that the newest kernel does not support USB DAC?
Also, did you get it to accept "hotplugging" the DAC or is it required to do a reboot with the DAC connected (my Samsung Galaxy SIII allows me to hotplug an external DAC)?
If hotplugging is "doable" that would really help my project of building a dock.

Audio playback via USB DAC (CM10.2)

Hi,
Has anyone else tried USB DACs on their Nook HD+? I've successfully attached my O2 DAC using apps to enable OTG mode and ignore USB device power requirements.
In MX Player (HW decoding enabled) I get smooth audio playback however in Poweramp the audio slows and stutters. Is this because Poweramp is using software decoding and the load is too high? I don't have this issue when using the same setup on my SGS3. I'd like to use a dedicated audio player for convenience, if possible.
Running CM10.2-0908 Nightly (EMMC) with TabletUI and v6supercharger mods and trim-enabled kernel. Also tested without on stock CM with same result.
Cheers

I found this in a search. I am having issues with my Fiio E17 DAC connecting to my Samsung S4 CM10.2. The DAC flashes "Lock" with the phone, but the phone still plays over the speaker, not the DAC.... I made sure that in settings, advanced, sound... that "Use Dock USB Audio" was checked....

Did you ever get this figured out? Is anyone else using a USB dac successfully with their Nook HD(+)?
Thanks!

I'm trying to do something similar, I have an IPEVO VoIP conference speakerphone thing (Model CDCA-01IP) that works over USB and has great sound when used with a computer. I'm powering it with one of those USB cables with a second plug for added power and one of those batteries for charging USB devices and connecting it to an S3 with CM10.2 with the OTG cable. The idea was to be able to do conference calls on site with better audio quality and have a rigged up speaker for the shop.
Anyway, Apollo delivers unusable stuttering sound with lag for volume changes. Trying MX Player for hardware acceleration also produced unusable sound and a similar story for speakerphone function.
A coworker with a stock S3 did not have these issues, so it appears to be a weakness of CM.

Excellent, I'm glad I'm not the first person to try this!!
I'm thinking of a new DAP, and looking at the iBaso DX50 or Fiio X3, I see both of these can act as USB-DACs.
I use my Nook HD+ as semi-portable movie screen and think the sound could do with a bump in quality to match the visuals. Any update from OP or other posters on success getting this to work?
Cheers!

More info please

Hi, I've been trying to make sure I can find a good way to utilize a PS3 controller for my nook hd+. One issue I've seen people run into is the power requirement of the controller and having to hide behind a powered hub. In this post you say you've found software to ignore the USB device power requirements, could you elaborate on how you did that and with what software? Thanks so much.

It's an app called TPUSBUMount. You can find a download link and more information that you should read in this topic.
Latest version appears to be 6, but it might not work on CM11. In that case, you can use the first version from here.

USB DAC

I moved to CWM 10.1 so could attach various USB devices like thumb drives and keyboards to my HD plus. I've been very pleased with how well it works, but I find it simply won't recognize my USB dac. Has anyone had any success or even tried getting the Nook to recognize a USB DAC? The tablet would be a terrific front end for my audio system if I didn't have to go through the earphone jack.

Unfortunately, this is not a common request. I remember trying to get it working on my Nook Simple Touch (never did, though). I believe that support has to be added in the kernel, so unless we can convince someone to hack up a custom kernel I bet it will never work.

Thanks, Tsunami.

you will need to compile the necessary linux kernel modules for your specific DAC.
just look what modules it uses on an ubuntu or debian installation and compile them für your device.

Thanks, Jann. I'll probably need the idiot's versin of that before I give it a shot.

What DAC are we talking about?

I've got a Fiio e7

[Q] SPDIF audio passthrough possibilities for RPi?

Have no HDMI in my house. I can convert HDMI to DVI and run it into monitors, but that leaves me with no digital audio. The RPI is weak enough that I would rather offload the audio rendering to a receiver. What inexpensive and cpu efficient ways have you found to get optical or coax spdif / toslink passthrough?

You could check out the HiFI Berry:
http://www.hifiberry.com/
There are USB DACs as well.

More than I was expecting to pay, but it's an option that I did not know was available. I've used DACs for audio recordings. Does anyone know if there is considerably less cpu overhead for those vs the onboard analog out and some that have been tested with XBMC Rpi distros?

The HiFiBerry Digi is an S/PDIF output (can be found on the same web site). The HiFiBerry DAC has been tested with Raspbmc. The support in the current version still does not work, but the january release of Raspbmc should fix this. I would expect that the HiFiBerry Digi will also be supported in Raspbmc soon (but not in the january release).
I don't have did any tests with the onboard sound, but with the HiFiBerry DAC there is only a minimal CPU load, as data transfer to the sound card is mostly done via DMA.
Best regards
Daniel

I'd probably go with the hifiberry AS it just fits and isn't too expensive. There are pretty cheap bay China USB China sound cards, they work ootb with raspbian. Or you go full high end with the Buffalo DAC which is what i did. I know, it's just Voodoo...
D802 @ AOSPA 4.4

Hi, I just stumbled upon this old post. Anyway, here's how I resolved the same problem:
Buy HDMI to HDMI + SPDIF + Analog converter from eBay, plug it in and you're good to go.
I'm not allowed to post links so: search for "hdmi spdif", select order by price+P&P: lowest first. It' the one like on the image.
It's true passthrough (Dolby, DTS), and you don't need any kernel modules, and you get to keep it or use it elsewhere, unlike with HiFiBerry.
...and you get a free set of knives :laugh:
here are the flags from config.txt:
config_hdmi_boost=4
hdmi_drive=2 (I think this one is important)
