Ive looked around the forums and cannot find a definitive answer.
Some threads say yes without saying how to enable it as it doesnt work by default, others say it doesnt.
Is there a way to enable it? I need it badly, so I can use this headphone jack to microusb for headphones (original jack is broken) and my USB storage device (that is also microusb)

Hello,
I'm not sure I'm in the most appropriate section but this point is rather "transversal".
It was reported in this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451634" that prpmlp managed to get audio out from usb connector to work on thouch hd using the diamond drivers and headphones.
This point was not developed further and I think it shall be discussed.
Mini jack is for sure a good thing but audio out on connector is also of interest when hd is docked for charge or in car for exemple. This could avoid to have 2 cables to put in.
The diamond drivers was not provided. Did anyone tried this already with success ?
I think extracting the drivers from a Diamond Rom is not a problem at all, I will give it a try later on.
Any workarounds for a voip app and microphone for a rooted book color?
the cool guys that know what they are doing are working on bluetooth, that seems to be the best bet to getting a microphone working with NC, cross your fingers!
what about a wired headset with a built in mic. does the nook have the connections to support this?
I think the two best options right now for voice applications are probably the Bluetooth and the slight possibility that the micro-USB port on the Nook seems to have quite a few extra pins on it, which may have left B&N open to a proprietary connector that would allow for additional device connectivity via the micro-USB port.
I've purchased a number of micro-USB adapters in order to plug various devices into the micro-USB port of the NC, with zero success (keyboards, USB headsets, mice, etc). Clearly that port isn't currently operating in that manner, and I'm sure there's a tech savy person that could drop in and give us a simple answer to why this is.
I was also curious about the headphone port possibly have mic capabilities, and was about to purchase a single post headset to test the theory, but then I took a (very unscientific) look at the headphones jack, and it would appear that there aren't enough ring connectors inside it to support an additional channel. Obviously the guys doing the tear-down would know far more about this than myself.
We'll see what turns up over the coming months.
Found this teardown post with spec list and it says that there is no mic input in the headphone jack. I know I read another teardown post which I cannot find that indicated the same thing. I agree that our best bet may be getting the bluetooth working.

Can you detail what sort of adapters you tried? Have you tried a gender changer (type a-a female-female) on the end of the nook cord attached to a keyboard?
Someone correct me if I am wrong but, in order for the usb to do something other than just charge and connect to the PC from the usb, you would have to activate USB host, which is not turned on in stock. Hence no of the fancy toys will work. There are a lot of funky pins on the connector so it may have to be some funky adapter, assuming you get usb host running. There are a lot of hackery potential, but until that project is completed, the wait for bluetooth continues.
Go Occip! (the guy hacking the bluetooth.)

This is what I've been thinking about. I don't have the ability to figure out how to activate the USB Host function, but I read several posts about how it worked on N1, D1, and Hero.
The thing I want to try is using a micro USB to 3.5mm minijack cable like those that came with the G1. It's the only thing I could think of that could logically be supported by the default system since it was necessary in 1.5 on that device.
I don't think anyone is using VOIP yet, but you may be very interested in this thread:

I'm running the CM7 image via SD card from that thread, and the Bluetooth works, and I can connect to my phone and my headset. Several people can connect to their standalone GPS units. Worth watching.
Anyone know if the micro USB port is even powered?
On a lot of phones, the USB connectors aren't powered by the device (like my HD2), so you have to hack together a proper setup that supplies power.
Hi guys,
been a passive viewer in the xda forums for a long time but never posted anything, so be easy on me - It's my first.
I would like to connect my galaxy s i9000 to the pc screen.
I know there's the TV out option, but it involves a 3.5" to RCA cable, and pc screens don't have RCA jacks.
Does anyone know of a way to do this? and if you know what kind of cable is required that will be great.
I'm using the CM9 rom, build 17 from theam hacksung.
Just to clarify, I want to connect to phone to the PC so I can view the phone on the PC screen.
Thanks in advance
Short answer is you can't.
Longer answer is you might.
Your monitor doesn't have RCA connectors but if you have a tuner installed inside your PC, you might be able to connect it to that and then use the software that came with the tuner to display it onto your monitor.
Another method would be to use a RCA to whatever input your display has converter but they are are usually pricey and after a search for RCA to HDMI/VGA/DVI I don't think they really exist.
Even if there was a 3.5mm to HDMI/VGA/DVI cable, it wouldn't work unless the display was designed to take a PAL or NTSC signal through those types of connections.
With cm9, you need to have 3.5mm to RCA cable plugged in then go into System Settings>Advanced>TV Out. The option is greyed out when no 3.5mm to RCA cable is plugged in and the option has to be checked every time you plug the cable in.
Thanks for the reply,
I knew about the tv-out option, but didn't think about using a tuner - that might work!
Another question, do you think that a micro usb - hdmi cable might work?
I saw a while back that samsung offered such a cable that was designed for that purpose exactly.
I've searched a lot of forums but havn't got a clear answer if this actually works, not have I seen a youtube video demonstrating this.
Does anyone know if using a micro usb - hdmi cable wokrs?

Do you know what tuner you have? I'm not sure if yours will have it but there will be a yellow plug like the ones you find on a TV.
I'm %99.9 sure that the I9000 doesn't have HDMI out through USB. It would seem a bit excessive to have two video out ports. Although you did spark an interesting subject, if someone could whip together drivers to work with something like this we could potentially have HDMI through USB but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Hey Guys, been lurking for awhile with my Note 2 and before that my LG G2x, A few questions I hope someone can point me in the right direction as you guys have before just using the search button. I've done some searching but have found conflicting answers as well as not finding my certain situation
I recently broke my Verizon Note 2, not flashed, or rooted just basic stock updates and such. The screen and touch input are useless. I came across this 5-in-1 Micro USB MHL to HDMI Cable with OTG Camera Connection Kit / 11-pin Micro USB Adapter for Samsung Galaxy S2 S3 S4 i9500 Galaxy Note, Note II (Micro 5-pin to SD card slot/ TF card slot/Micro USB2.0/HDMI) on amazon and bought it without researching too much further.
I figured I would be able to plug in a USB keyboard or mouse and my HDMI connection to TV and away we go. The phone needs to be sent back to the insurance company and I'd like to get files off the phone to retain or at the very least erase everything. I have a lock screen with PIN and I don't have Bluetooth enabled or any wireless keyboard/mouse paired on the phone so I haven't been able to do too much, it seems that only MHL or OTG will work not both. I know the Samsung Smart Dock will work but since I already ordered, received and opened this device I thought I could get this working. When I plug HDMI, USB keyboard and external power from MicroUSB, in a what seems to be a certain necessary order, I get the note 2 to mirror onto my TV and a USB icon in the upper left hand corner. The optical mouse light turns on like its getting power but no pointer shows on screen. I've had the same indicators with a keyboard but when I input on keyboard no response on screen. I'm kind of lost in what to do next or if the Smart Dock is the best option. I've seen some posts in my searching that people opened up their OTG or MHL device and replaced or added resistors. I don't think that its a viable option as I can return this item less the restocking fee and buy the Smart Dock at a reasonable price. However, that being said I welcome any input as I am looking for help. Thanks in advance for any input or ideas.
If you can view your screen, use an otg cable first and connect a wireless or a wired mouse. With that you can atleast access your phone. U can then turn on ur wifi or bluetooth and connect other device.

Not able to view screen at all on Note 2. Only when is hooked up to the device I bought am I able to see it on TV. If the device is capable of doing both which I'm not sure of it, I'm kinda hoping that it thinks the USB keyboard or mouses that I have tried are mass storage. But again I don't know
Hi guys!
I bought headphones USB-C Oppo MH135-3 and tried connect them to Realme 8 Pro but headphones doesn't work. Despite fact that theadphones are connected to the USB-C, the sound is still heard from the phone's loudspeaker.
I turned on the OTG function, but it also didn't help.
There was not even an icon on the phone that the headphones are connected, nor any system message about the connected device
Has anyone similar problem and knows how to solve it?
I think, theres no solution. That headphones works only with Oppo device but not all of them...
(I checked it in store)
Strange
Go to settings/additional settings and Look for OTG switch. Unfortunely you have to check that box every time you connect headphones. At least it works for my setup - OTG adapter + senheisser earbuds..
