Well i have had my ps3 for about a month and i bought component cables for it because the hdmi wasnt working. But i have decided i want to use hdmi.
When i plug my high quality gold hdmi lead into the tv and ps3 i turn it on and no picture no sound. I read on the internet, hold the power button in and it will auto set the video, still no sound or picture. I plug the component back in and it works, i go to display settings and switch to hdmi, i switch channel on tv to hdmi it says no signal.
Hmmm...
The tvs im using:
Sony Bravia KDL-32EX403 1080p
Tesco Technika 22" 1080I
The ps3 is a phat 40gb f/w 3.50
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Make sure you are switched to the right HDMI port, I know my TV has a few of them
Then try a different cable.

my technika only has one and the sony tells you which one something is plugged into.
still no luck so i will ask some one for a hdmi lead to borrow.
Trying to use tv out but I can't get any color! I'm using a normal rwy a/v cable and I have a couple and it does the same thing. The tv is a samsung t260hd. I've looked in ask the tv settings and nothing.
Usually it means you are using the wrong cable. I have 3 cables -they look identical - only one works. The one that came with my camcorder is the only one that works.
Just bought the dock thing and tried to put it to work with the HDMI out on a philips HD tv, and it happens that there is no audio at all. I know the analog speakers are disabled when the HDMI is working, the audio provided by the HDMI is really not working.
I have no clue of what is happenning. I am getting just the image fom the tab but no audio at all.
I hope someone knows what is going on and help me.
I'd really appreciate the help.
tks.
Hi. The problem seems to be application dependent. When I use RockPlayer and VitalPlayer digotal audio is there through a docking station. Other players including stock one output just analog audio. Regards. K

Tks mate but when I used the rock player I am still getting no sound at all. Its not just the rock player but even the native one or any music player. The sound isn't passing through the hdmi cable.

I will conect the tab to the TV set in few minutes to double check my findings once more. Btw I use the latest firmware MCD. Regards K

Actually, I can now confirm that I have digital audio output from the docking station with any of the mwdia players including the stock one. When initially started, all the players mute the audio when the tab is in the station. Pls volume up through hardware keys and you will have the audio output. Regards K

The volume is up when plugin to the dock and yet I get no sound changed the volume up and down but no answer. Have two Philips televisions and different models here and on both I get the same issue, no digital sound. The analog sound is fine when plugin the av cables. Now I wonder if the hdmi cable isn't working or is the tv that doesn't like the dock.

Can you post the details of the cable including it's version number. It may be you have an incorrect cable.

I bought the dock to connect the tab to my projector and I found out that when the hdmi is in use all the audio will go to the hdmi cable.
Now my projector has very poor speakers and no audio out. I really hate that I can't use my Bluetooth speakers when using the dock.
There is some way to split the hdmi signal in video and analog audio?

Still have video and no sound
So, I still have the problem. I have the dock connected to power from the supplied (5v 2a) adapter. I then connect it to my tv. Video works great. I also speculated that maybe I had to use the 3.5mm jack for sound but that isn't working either.
I also have an adapter for rca-out and that's working fine, but I'd rather have the better quality available to me via HDMI.
I've got no solution yet. As I did, put here your the specs of your cable, maybe its something about that cable tho.

hdmi cable info
So, it's still not working for me. I don't have the box the other cable came in so today I went out and got a new one. I now have one of these:
http://www.digitalwarehouse.nl/hdmi-kabel-type-a-type-c-mini-2m.html
It is a type-A <-> type-C high speed HDMI Cable. I told the guy when I bought it that it had to be v 1.3 and he said it was though I don't see that on the box any where. I know for sure that my original cable was a v 1.3 because I remember reading that on the box when I bought it.... The only other info I see on the packaging is this:
Transfer rate: 10,2 Gbit/s
BandWidth 340 MHz
ARC audio return channel
My problem persists and to eliminate other potential causes, I've now tried it on another TV as well: no dice
It could very well be the cable. I have had some HDMI cables not output sound from DVD players. Here is the cable I bought and it outputs everything, sound, video the works.

Having my tab on my TV rocks
right cable
Well, I live in sweden. Ordering from Amazon is not ideal for me. Is there any other way I can get an indication that it might be the cable? I am loathe to keep buying cables assuming that it's the issue... I mean, is there something on the cable itself that I can look for? Certains pins or something?
/geir
I dont know that much about HDMI cables, does kinda seem pointless to keep buying cables.
Possibly google it? I would say try it on something else, however nothing else you own probably need A to C hdmi connection.
All I know is thats the cable I bought and it works perfect for me on my 4 year old projection LCD
Tested the cable with something else...
Ok, so my daughter has a camcorder which will take a mini hdmi cable. I just tested both cables with her camcorder and both of them give me video and sound...
If the cable is the issue it's definitely not because it isn't at all capable of handling audio
Any chance anyone has any other ideas? I just have this feeling there is something else going on... Like maybe I need to flash to a new version or something.
I have a european tab, in case that matters.
So I purchased the HTC One Monday, other than the top of the screen is not flush with the body I have no problems. But, I noticed that when I plug the aux cable it does not play my music in my car. I even tried using my USB cable and it said something like NA device connected. Does anyone else have this problem or a way to fix it? Other than that I love this phone.
Make sure the cable is plugged in all the way. It can be tight. This is the aux cable. I don't think this phone supports audio out over usb. I tried and tried an app that tests if this is supported and came up empty.

I tried that this morning in my car and I was unsuccessful. It may be the quality of my aux cable that is from Five Below which might be cheaper quality but it worked with my brothers iphone 4. Any other recommendations?

It works with headphones right? That could determine if there's a hardware problem. Otherwise, try a different cable.

i have this exact same problem, ive used the same aux cable in my car with all my old ipods, cell phones, mp3 players, etc and the only one that doesnt work is this new HTC One :crying: the headphones that came with the phone work fine with it
Interesting... I have no problem. But I'm also not using the HTC music app, I'm using Google play and Slacker radio. Maybe it could be the app?
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
not using an app, it just doesnt recognize anything is plugged in so it just plays the music through the phone speakers and not the car
My phone does work with headphones, I noticed headphones have like 2 black lines and my aux has 3 I dont know if that matters though. I have tried both Music and Play Music apps on my phone. Both dont work

I don't know what to tell you other than trying a new cable. The black lines you're referring to can make a difference and their color doesn't matter. I'll try to explain to the best of my ability how these cables are wired and what those lines mean.
These cables use the metal between these bars to transmit signal. Two lines indicates 3 connections, three lines has 4 connections. One is left, one is right, the other is ground. The extra one in the 3 bar setup is meant for mic. If these connections don't line up properly with the plug in the car or phone or both, no signal will be sent from one of those connections. This can make it not work at all - thus my question if it was plugged in all the way. The phone supports a mic connection through the headset, so this shouldn't make a difference. But I have only used aux cables without the mic connection so I don't know how this might affect things. A shot in the dark is the phone detects that there may not actually be a mic on the cable, but is seeing the mic connection.
This explanation is assuming your aux cable actually has the mic input connection and not just stereo. If you can get a hold of a different cable, try that and see if that works. Return it if it doesn't work, you're still allowed to do that.

If it works with headphones but not aux could it really be a problem? like it doesnt make sense
It could be the cable. Try another cable before you freak out about w. Jeez, I've suggested this a couple of times. If you don't want to listen, then fine. Return or exchange the phone until it works

I use aux every day with no problem and I use the cheapest cables possible
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app
I replicated this so called problem.
I tried a different cable, no sound through stereo. I examined if it was connected all the way and found that the cut out of the case I use wasn't big enough for the cable to be pushed in all of the way. I removed the case, tried again, it worked.
So check if it's plugged in all the way like I suggested initially and try removing your case. If this solves it, get a different cable as the nub on them vary in sizes too.

It must of been the aux cable it self, I used a different one and it worked perfectly. It only had 2 lines of black instead of 3 like the other, that may have been the problem. Thank you guys!

+1 just bought a new aux cable with two lines instead of three now it works
Hi all,
I know there have been other postings regarding this, but none have helped me solve my situation:
I have a "stock ROM" AT&T Note 2, and have tried two different Smart Dock units from Fry's. I get NO usable HDMI signal from either when connecting to my ASUS V228H monitor; the HDMI cable/monitor have been checked as working by connecting my DVD recorder up and successfully playing video content. USB connections to a wired keyboard and mouse worked well on unit #1, for some reason not on unit #2. There was no improvement when I rebooted the phone into safe mode. Lastly, the phone is correctly recognized by a PC when connecting via USB (MTP mode).
I'm ready to scrap the whole Smart Dock idea and instead buy an MHL-to-HDMI adapter and bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, which I think can be found with total price just around that of the Smart Dock... unfortunately, I guess there's no "splitter" that could let me hook a hard drive up as well, like I could with the Smart Dock.
Does anyone have any ideas? I of course would hate to have to hard reset the phone, but might do it if there's really a good chance of it helping.
Final question: is it possible that the microUSB connector at the base of the phone could get damaged in such a way that USB to PC connections work, but MHL video does not?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
did you plug the dock into an original Samsung charger?
did you reboot?
mhl takes a lot of power, so you need to have the charger plugged in to make it work.
and the usb port can get stuck in a certain mode if you've used it too much without rebooting, a simple reboot will reset it.
I am using the new micro-USB to USB cord connected to the wall charger (FYI, plugged into a power-strip, not directly into a wall outlet, would that actually lead to MHL getting too litle power?). The phone was recently rebooted. I have typed this response using a USB-connected mouse, so at least that's working. HDMI is STILL not working.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I'm guessing that unless it's specifically stated for the gn2, like the samsung dock, the microusb connector is using 5 pins instead of 11. That's the issue you'll have with mhl adapters, too: find an 11 pin, or buy the 5-> 11 adapter.
If it says compatible with the note (not note2) or evo, that's a pretty solid guarantee it's using 5 pins.
-----
I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
in this case the amount of pins is irrelevant. (edit: unless you didn't get a note 2 smart dock)
have you tried a different screen/TV and cable?
there are multiple versions of HDMI, and your cable or screen may be sufficient for an old DVD player but not a newer device.
Interesting that nowhere on the Smart Dock's box does it say "compatible with Note 2". But looking up the part # on the Samsung.com accessories site yields the following description:
Smart Dock Multimedia Hub
EDD-S20JWE
Compatibility: Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S4
As for HDMI protocols changing over time leading to incompatibilities... WTF? They don't need to create specification version numbers like USB to clue the user in? I will test your theory with an MHL to HDMI dedicated connector purchased today. If you're right, even this device won't work with my monitor...
This is going to sound like the annoying tech support people on the phone but... are you sure everything is plugged in tight?
I only ask because when I first got my smart dock I was getting picture but no sound with my hdmi cable and I was about to try a different cable but decided to try replugging everything first and voila...it started working!
It didn't make sense to me because it must be plugged in if it's working even a little but apparently either the phone wasn't docked all the way or more likely I hadn't pressed the hdmi cable in enough.
Would be nice if it's that simple in your case. Good luck!

Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I had tested the Smart Dock's connections to make sure all were tight. No improvement.
I have given up on the Samsung Smart Dock for now. A "rig" that appears to be working is as follows:
1) Cirago MHL1000 MHL-to-HDMI adapter.
2) Mobile Phone->Voyage adapter (Micro 5 pin to 11 pin)
3) Comkia 3 foot HDMI cable.
4) ASUS VE228H monitor
5) HYPE Bluetooth Curve optical mouse
6) SMK-LINK Versapoint Bluetooth Slim Keyboard
You are definitely right about needing to check on the connection status of the various connectors. I periodically lose the HDMI video signal, which requires that I press the MHL adapter's plug tighter into the 5-to-11 pin connector. Yes, I also have the case off the Note II when attaching everything.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app (using the rig above).
Okay, I'm noticing that the HDMI signal gets lost every 5-10 minutes and blacks out the monitor for 5-10 secs. I also have been having the issue of definitely less than 1080p output (not sure if even 720p) except for video player and Angry Birds Star Wars which do look good.
Is this a problem of the Cirago MHL1000 plus 5-> 11 pin converter, which would be solved if I just spent some more bucks on a Samsung HDTV cable with 11 pins? Will the Samsung MHL 2.0 cable for the S4 provide better output for a Note 2 than the Samsung S3/Note 2 cable?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Okay, I sucked it up and bought the Samsung MHL 2.0 HDTV cable for the S4 and backward compatible with the Note 2. I think I've gotten things as good as it's going to get. Video out is stable and actually at higher resolution than using a Cirago cable and a 11 to 5-pin converter.
I unfortunately have no USB input capability for hard drive access. Is there any adapter to insert in the "circuit" to let me attach a HD to the Note 2 if its MicroUSB is already occupied by the MHL to HDMI cable?

hi
Hello, I have a problem when connecting a peripheral (mouse, keyboard, etc) the screen automatically flips and turns black, saying, which it is connected by hdmi too. that's not right.
otherwise it has explain, does not leave me connect the mouse and keyboard, because the s4 assumed that this also connected the hdmi.
