USB audio - Galaxy Tab S General

For the audiophiles among you, I confirm that the Tab S 8.4 is USB audio capable. My HRT microstreamer USB DAC works perfectly.

What about analog usb audio is that supported too?

Andriod is getting really good support with usb OTG
my amazon.com/dp/B000KW2YEI/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_dp_1 Behringer UCA202 Audio Interface Works with both the tab s 8.4 and my s5
also my PS3 controller works via usb otg
USB hubs work as well; now I just need a way to charge the tablet while using usb otg

That is what I am looking after to.
If I only could get my eyes on a service manual I will find a way to charge while OTG is enabled.

There are many Y cables on eBay that allow charging and otg use at the same time. I find it's a bit hit and miss, as some don't work while others do

We might find some info on this in the kernel source as well.
The table for USB Id should say the resistor value needed for the combination that gives charging and USB OTG at the same time.
I'll see if I can find out which module in the kernel that does USB ID sensing.

Split the micro USB for charging and USB OTG

Hello,
I want to do some stuff at the same time with my phone.
Watching a movie from an usb stick while charging the phone.
So, I've bought this HDMI converter
When you plug this into the phone you can plug in your charger or USB OTG adapter in the usb port on the HDMI converter.
But i can't find any splitter cable on the internet or ebay so i can charge my phone and connect my usb stick at the same time.
I wonder if this is even possible. It is possible to charge the phone when HDMI converter is connected and it is also possible to connect my USB stick to the HDMI converter.
Anyone ever tried this or has found a simple micro usb splitter cable or normal usb splitter cable?
You can't connect a normal USB Hub because i can't send power back to my phone through the hub.
Thanks :good:
Sorry I can't help with your splitter request.
However I'd be really interested in knowing if those two items work fine with the Note 2?
Sent from my Nexus One using xda app-developers app
so the i know it isnt possible with the 5 pin mhl adapter (the old one thats not compatible with this phone)
I wonder if the 11pn version does allow this. I know the cables dont exist for what you are looking to do, there is a galaxy note smart dock 2 that seems to allow hdmi and 3 usb ports, if they allow it at the same time then it would be at least possible.
it must be. did you try the smart dock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953061&page=2
I've ordered one and i will see how it will perform. smart dock is nice but pricey i'd like one for home and work!
Bought this one http://goo.gl/6OiGx and as it is listed compatible with the NOte 2 and the Galaxy S3 i was hoping it would work with the Note 2 as well - nope: only power OR OTG, not both.

Old thread... at least on my GS3 I have found that the ability to charge and use USB OTG at the same time is kernal specific. Anyone ever find one that works on Note 2?

you can connect Note 2 with USB speakers with this

http://www.amazon.com/PPA-Intl-SAMS...&qid=1362451080&sr=8-7&keywords=ppa+int'l+usb
Confirmed working with Note 2 with a catch, you need to power micro USB jack to make it work (and you can't charge Note 2 in USB host mode).
Tested with Logitech USB speakers and it works.
Why don't just buy a Bluetooth adapter for speakers and listen wirelessly?

This is an experiment, but you can connect USB audio adapter to get SPDIF audio out through this way.
OTG cable with a charging port might be a better option, thats quite a large thing hanging off the end of you phone so it might be prone to knocks which will stress your usb port.
Theres another thread in this section title OTG with charging, in that thread this cable looks promising http://www.ebay.com/itm/261170130579
edit: You either need a kernel mod or a resistor between pins 4&5 to get otg charging working, a dead short wont work unless the kernel has been modified. My OTG cable arrived this morning. even wireless charging wont work. I dont really need this feature, only planning to use otg intermittently so I am not going to fix my cable.

[Q] Micro usb stereo audio output?

Hey everyone,
Having a bad GPS -signal as soon as I plug in my headphones (which renders GPS tracking basically useless for me), I am looking for alternative ways of using my headphones while doing sports. Searching the Internet, I came across various microUSB to headphone adapters (e.g. serach on amazon for: "LinkS Micro USB to VGA MHL Adapter+Micro 5pin to 11pin adapter + Charging Cable in Black 3 Feet Kit" or "Universal Micro USB Interface to 3.5mm Plug Earphone Adapter (Black)", I have not enough posts to post links/images, yet). Now I am wondering if our phone will support these adapters and if yes, can I control the volume of the output?
Many thanks in advance!
Using an USB audio device requires USB OTG which our device doesn't support.
Hey @Adam77Root but we have working mhl which anyway is using microusb port. And iodaks kernel have working otg too.
Edit: android L seems will have support for USB audio devices IF they have working otg

MHL uses a different method.
If there is working OTG, USB audio support is enabled in the kernel and USB audio HAL is included in the rom, it can work. Older versions too support it.

OnePlus 3T out video to monitor via hdmi

I want to connect a 27 inch monitor or projector.
From the official support says (ticket #770598, from Sky) that phone 3T supports out video via HDMI
I understand that you wanted to know if OnePlus 3T supporte USB to HDMI. I can provide you with the information that you needed.
I would like to inform you that OnePlus 3T supports HDMI as long as it is connected to the OTG cable/ converter.

Phone have usb type c version 2.
My questions:
1. This phone is really support hdmi alt mode? I don't see the image HDMI (or DisplayPort or Thunderbolt) alternat mode on the box.
2. If (1) is true. Any cable good for me? Ex. usb type c multiport adapter from apple store or necessarily with OTG?
3. How big is the latency video of through miracast (ex. ezcast)? If connect mouse and watch on cursor movement.
I tried this yesterday with a USB C to Hdmi adapter I got off Amazon and I had no luck connecting to the monitor.

Thans for the reply
I think they sold me a dud
Phone not supports MHL and other alt. mode
II wonder if a driver could be put into a ROM to support it via USB OTG since it doesn't support MHL?
I have an old external sound card, a Creative Xmod, that works perfectly with my roommates USB C, OTG adaptor.

I think because it is not implemented in hardware in the phone
If I'm correct Display Port alternate output requires USB Type-C 3.1 since the phone supports only 2.0 it shouldn't work. However not many phones utilise this feature even Google Pixel doesn't use this mode
Video out works fine on the 3T but only with Displaylink adapters. (So far anyway)
I have one and can confirm it definitely works either via HDMI or HDMI to DVI (I've tried both)
I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N40RQV4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but any displaylink adapter or dock will work. (Make sure it very specifically says dispaylink, check the displaylink website if you aren't sure)
The only note is that displaylink says the Ethernet ports on the docks do not work with android.
(I suspect they might work on devices that support a regular Ethernet adapter though, I haven't been able to get a normal Ethernet adapter working on my oneplus 3t though for what that's worth.)
you will also need the displaylink app from the playstore though it does not have to be running.
if any of you have experience using an external Audio DAC with USB Audioplayer pro the process is very similar.
Once you plug the monitor in, a pop up will ask if you want to let the displaylink app control the adapter and if you hit "ok" it does the rest automatically.
Does the phone charge while connected to the DisplayLink adapter?
Just try with Chromecast or anything else with Mirascreen option
Does it work with Anker Premium USB-C Mini-Dock
Hi there everybody:
Have anyone tried to connect a dock like the Anker Premium USB-C Mini-Dock, Does OP3T work for charge and to view the USB ports of the dock? May be HDMI and Ethernet doesn't work but for me the matter is the chargue and the USB ports to connect an external DAC, a microsd and a pendrive. Regards.

USB Audio

I'm thinking about using an Amazon Fire 7 inch tablet as a car radio dashboard install, but before I commit to buying one, I can't seem to find any conclusive answers on a few things.
Firstly, does the fire output USB audio so I can use a USB dac?
And if so, is it possible to use a Y split cable for USB audio and charging at the same time?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I can confidently say this Fire like most other Amazon devices will not support charging while the USB port is being used for any other function. Can't speak to USB audio out (suspect not) as most go with Bluetooth.

It does seem to be a difficult feature to find on Android tablets.
According to Wikipedia, it's a simple implementation of a USB otg cable that should allow charging on any usb otg device.
USB Otg Wiki
The major problem (presuming the cable does work and usb audio is possible) is that the kernel needs to be able to enable USB otg at the same time as charging.

Yep. The stock kernel on most consumer devices don't have robust OTG support as the most commonly used gizmo is a flash drive. I was able to get a OTG GPS receiver to work but it wasn't plug-n-play by any means. Charging didn't work in that context...although I didn't fiddle with it much.
I've been working on a kinda similar project, I just haven't had time. I'm trying to use my fire as an octoprint server, which is a program that monitors and controls 3d printers. The problem is that it requires usb to be connected to the printer, while also staying powered on. What I'm going to try is remove the battery, step down 12v from the printer to 3.7v and just hack it onto where the battery would connect to the pcb. I'm not sure what the different pins on the battery connector are though, so I'll have to test those. Otherwise, it should work.
