Hi to all
Has anyone tried the above?
Connecting the dock's HDMI to TV watch the picture in tv and try at this moment if speakers line out 3,5 jack had audio output signal? or it has no output and the sound is only going through the HDMI cable?
If anyone please has the dock, check this and give me the results.
Thanks in advance
The best conection for playing back Galaxy TAB video, picture and music files was,
GT with it USB cable on Mass Storage connection + TV with USB port & media play function.
The benefits from this conection was,
1. Single cable connection.
2. Only need connect GT to TV USB port, so less works & movements retriction between TV, couch/bed, power socket.
3. TV not only playback GT files but also provide power charging to GT. fter playback 1 hour of Full HD video, my GT battery power now up to 71% from initial around 50%+ (can't remeber the exact number).
4. Able to move around GT directory & playback files using one TV remote control. That's saving troubles of using 2 devices, GT screen + TV remote.
The thing is not a TV with USB, I have not a USB TV, I had used the dock in my Toshiba connected with HDMI cable and I have perfect video but NO SOUND at all, I had not found a solution yet, I had tried with several HDMI cables, still no sound.
I cannot find any settings for the HDMI, in the Tab.
Has anyone has any solution?
I had read that a lot of Galaxy Tab owners had HDMI sound problems.
The bad thing is when the TAB sees the HDMI connection mutes the sound in the tab and drives it through the HDMI cable.
The 3.5 Jack audio out in the back of the dock has no sound, when HDMI is connected
Any solution??

that's a really good question and makes a lot of sense. for the 2nd poster, I think almost all of us do not have usb inputs on our tvs. lucky you though
if the hdmi out sends pic + audio but the audio out is still available in the 1/8" adapter or another method then it would be really good.
would be amazing if the tab had digital audio out through a standards compliant consumer digital audio cable (rca or fibre) though
oh well, I'm dreaming right now.
Hi folks, I have my chromecast connected directly to my Denon avr 3310 and powered from the USB port on my TV. Chromecast is working as expected. I get dolby digital plus with no problems and great hd pictures from Netflix. Trouble happens when I switch back to my satellite box. That's connected to my TV via hdmi and receiver via optical. Since adding chromecast I get audio dropouts when watching satellite. How do I know it's chromecast? When I remove the USB cable powering the chromecast from the TV all audio issues dissappear. Anyone have similar issues? Cheers mick
I would do what was suggested and move the usb to maybe a wall adapter for power for troubleshooting. Also make sure that somehow your optical input is not assigned to the same source as your chromecast hdmi input and double check all your input assignments on the Denon.

Tried everything but in the end changed my satellite receiver to send audio via hdmi to the reciever and everything is playing nice now

Same here with a Denon 790 and analog sources. The Chromecast is plugged on back of the receiver inside a bookshelf nook, so disconnecting it is impractical.
The workaround is to drill down the menu through Input Assign > [HDMI] for the port used by Chromecast > set to "None". When using the Chromecast again, reverse the procedure and reassociate the port. Don't forget which port number holds the Chromecast.
It's inconvenient and my wife explicitly Does Not Like It, but the dropouts stop when you disassociate the port. You eventually memorize the remote key sequence without needing the onscreen menu.
Hope this helps, even after 3+ years.
Hi
Does the moto x support HDMI out? I want to watch a large video file and the Chromecast keeps pausing when I'm trying to stream it, so I've downloaded it and want to now use HDMI out to watch it.
However the MHL adapter I have isn't working, what adapter do I need to get HDMI out to work or doesn't the phone have this function?
Thanks

A quick "no" also exists. Being helpful is not that hard.
Got the chromecast connected to Sony Bravia TV thru HDMI via a splitter but also tried connecting directly, same outcome. Using a HUDL2 tablet to cast a TV episode playing via VLC to TV using Chromecast cast to screen. Picture is perfect but there is no sound on TV, just on the tablet. The TV is also connected to a Samsung Soundbar via HDMI (TV ARC). Also connected to TV is a PS4, a PS3 and a media MKV player, all through a HDMI splitter, which all work fine. Any ideas?
Hi everyone!
Does anyone knows a method (either hardware or software) to force the Chromecast to output at 720p?
Background:
I have a DVI monitor and I used a simple HDMI to DVI adapter to plug my laptop in it.
My laptop died and I decided to use a Chromecast and my phone as a replacement.
After the Chromecast arrived and I plugged it in, I turned on screen mirror and hooked my kb/m to the phone and everything, only to realize that the sound was also being streamed to the Chromecast.
Needless to say that my monitor doesn't have audio output.
So I got one of those HDMI audio diverter to draw the audio and feed it to my audio system, so far so good.
I used my laptop to game was well, so after starting some withdraw from games, I decided to grab my PS2 console and got on of those PS2 to HDMI dongles and play some old-school games, then I started facing an issue: swapping cables.
To fix that I got one of those 3 port HDMI hubs and plugged both devices to it.
However the monitor is 720p, the HDMI audio diverter knows that and replicates this information to it's input port which makes the Chromecast display in 720p.
But the hub does not, it report it's 1080p making the Chromecast send 1080p video signal and the display only shows a black screen because of it not knowing how to deal with that.
So if there's a way to force the Chromecast to display in 720p it would be my salvation.
So if anyone out there knows any possible solution, please, I would be really grateful.
Thanks everyone!
