support for mini-usb headphones ? - Click Android Development

has anybody thought about it ?
htc sells them (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/it/p_htc_item.aspx?i=187495) while mini-usb headphones i have (i found them on an alcatel phone) do not work

I just bought a little adapter off eBay which plugs into HTC MiniUSB and has a 3.5mm jack on it. It lets me use my own normal headphones.

why didn't you just use the 3.5 built in jack of tattoo ???

g1 dont
hi.
my G1 headphones have the htc mini usb ( the one thats a bit odd and has extra wires for audio and tv out ) but the headphones dont work on the tattoo.
so why has the tattoo got this type of jack for its usb ?? it certainly has the extra contacts on it, you can see them !
may be we will someday have an app that enabled you to select the usb output as the default audio out.. may be not.. lol..

3.5 mm?

Hello everyone, so im using the Kaisers awful earphones, which for music, plainly suck. I cant find any USB to 3.5mm adapters around that work for the kaiser so I was wondering, I have a Sony Ericsson Walkman phone, and it has a 3.5mm adapter, but its not mini usb.
Would I be able to remove the usb plug from the Kaisers earphones and connect it to my walkmans adapter? Obviously I would need to open up the adapters connector, can I do this?
Thanks
Why dont you just go online and buy an adapter. You can then use any set of headphones you want. I bought two off ebay, one for just headphones and one thats a Y adapter so I can play music as well as charge at same time. I think they were only $8 each or somthing.

$3 shipped worldwide. Small and light. Maybe light enough for the cable to break easily if abused, but for now it's been just fine with me.

Headset Or Usb headphones?

I need a decent way to listen to music through my kasier. first of all is there a place to buy usb headphones; at a brick and mortor store. I dont really want to buy online. Or simply whats the easiest and cheapest product to buy.
no htc use usb headphones
usb headphones are kinda like external soundcards like usb speakers
kaiser dont support usb host so cant use usb devices
htc however have their own usb connection called extUSb
which apart from being usb also carry 2 analog audio lines
headsets which use extUSB can be used to listen to audio
but they must be compatible with htc
You'll be able to find HTC replacement headphones with the proprietary plug but they're usually crap. So, get one of those adapters: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2715504#post2715504 and use any good standard headphone you have.
alternatively you can use bluetooth stereo headphones...

headphone adapter and charge?

ok so ive searched and some say it works some say it doesnt but lets start with:
i need to be able to use a 4-pole headphone (stereo headphone and mic) as well as charge the device at one so my two options are
the htc 3-in-1
http://cnn.cn/shop/extusb-adapter-p-5572.html
or.....make my own?
or....perhaps just add a 4pole connector and wire it up with this
http://www.amazon.com/YS-AUC-2-1-Multi-Adapter-T-Mobile/dp/B000UHY6XU
please help
no body knows really?
You may want to take a look at the USB adapter that comes with the HTC Pure. If I remember correctly it comes with a connector that allows you to charge the phone while using the headphone jack. The connector will probably work fine on the sapphire.

HTC HD2 Car Kit CU/CK S400

Just received my HTC HD2 Car Kit from https://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=188277 And it works with my T-Mobile U.S. HD2. It launches Navipanel as soon as you place the phone in it. When you tap "Navigation" it launches TeleNav. It rotates the screen as you change the orientation of the phone. It comes with a high-end suction cup that you need to twist to lock on a smooth flat surface (and it stays locked). It also comes with special smooth adhesive disk that you can mount the main unit to in case you don't have a smooth surface available where you want to put it. It has a car charger that has a USB port and a micro to standard USB cable that connects to the base of the mount. A little bit pricey, but when considering that it meets my needs perfectly, then it is worth it.
It looks like it covers the headphone port, is there any way to get audio out from the unit or phone?
I was told there is such a thing as a micro USB to 3.5mm cable. Connecting this to the base and to your car's aux jack might work. You won't be able to charge the phone though. Unless there was a micro USB Y-splitter....??? Hmm...

Because ironcrotch is right, it does cover the headphone jack. There is however a micro usb at the base of the stand that could be used (acoording to HTC) to output audio. If so, then a micro usb to 3.5 mm cable could be connected to the car kit for the benefit of listening to audio.

It's a micro and not mini usb port on the base? If it was mini, there's an HTC USB charging/audio splitter that has a 3.5mm output and usb charging input in one...

yep that's expensive. I ended up going with CoPilot 8 its only $30 and no subscription fees - It does everything my Garmin can and more. I bought one of those universal windshield mounts and an extra usb cable to keep in my car so I can charge it. Grand total $50.
Since I have a Premier(pioneer) headunit i can plug my usb and 3.5 jack into it and get all my audio through my stereo - at the same time too.
Did anyone tried to use this with an micro-B to Mini-B adapter and the HTC USB/Audio Splitter.
I'm currently playing with the idea of getting an HD2 and I already own that splitter. But being able to use Audio in the carholder is significant for me...
any information on that issue would be very welcome.
cheers

Dear friends,
I'd like to use HD2 to keep my mp3 (songs and audio books) and listen it via car stereo. Does any one know how's AUX output's quality? Can I listen to audio via HD2's USB port (by using car stereo + USB cable + HD2)? What's the best way to connect HD2 to car audio system?
Thanks in advance.

Using usb-c port as audio output

Hi everyone,
Do you know if it's possible to use the USB port as audio output?
My headphones pin broke and got stuck inside the 3.5 jack. So if I can use the USB I won't have to take it to get repaired.
Thanks

Yes, it works with USB-C -- 3.5 Audio jack adapter (mine is branded "Google").
But the sound is only 16 bits, (DAC is in the cable), it's not as good as the 3.5 jack with PowerAmp...
It works with external USB DAC Amp's, I recommend TempoTec Sonata HD Pro around 45$ & HiBy Music app. Sound is much better with a good DAC Amp.
