HDMI output + headphones possible? - Motorola Droid 3

When using the hdmi output, does the phone still send audio through its speakers or the miniplug jack? Or it only sends audio through hdmi and cancels all other audio outputs?

Regularly it's sending both audio and video over the cable. Maybe someone knows how to improve overall performance while hdmi is on? ^^

But can it send video through hdmi plus audio through the 3.5 mm jack? I'm thinking in getting a d3, however the monitor I would be using doesn't have audio

Monitor to Xbox 360 audio

Okay so I'm planning on buying a new monitor. the ASUS MS238H and it has a 3.5mm hole that says "For HDMI" and a HDMI port. I was planning on hooking my xbox 360 up to it, and I want audio for it and my PC so I was thinking could I plug a 3.5mm cable from my speakers AUX port to the monitor and have it work, or do I need to split the audio coming from the speakers main cable for it to be able to work with my PC and XBOX360. Please anything will help.
Verify the specifications on both devices ... I seem to recall reading somewhere that audio can be transferred over the HDMI cable. I suggest doing a quick Google search on:
hdmi audio xbox360
HTH,
the hdmi cable should have audio built in.
Is it a hdmi to hdmi video + 3.5mm audio?

well the monitor doesn't have built in speakers that's the problem. The monitor has a plug that says "for hdmi" and it's a 3.5mm plug, and I have speakers with a AUX plug and I plan on plugging in my 3.5mm cable to the monitor through that. So I was wondering if it works.
Have a look at the the following XBOX360 accessory:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360hdmiavcable
The Xbox 360 HDMI Cable provides gamers with separate audio and video connections via the included Audio Adapter. The Audio Adapter allows HDMI video to be routed to the HDTV with the audio routed separately to the home speaker system. Without the Audio Adapter the video and audio signals are both carried by the HDMI cable. This means users without an HDMI receiver (new/costly) must listen to their Xbox 360 game and movie audio via their TV speakers.

So the monitor has the hdmi in then a 3.5mm socket out for audio?

In the midst of downloading the manual for the display ... I suspect the 3.5mm jack is audio out for mini-speakers.
* EDIT *
Well ... the manual is a Quick Start fold-out which doesn't provide much more info than what is posted on their site. The fold-out indicates that the ports on the back are 1) DC-IN, 2) HDMI-IN/DVI, 3) VGA, 4) Earphone - Out. Based on the limited info presented, I suspect that the audio/video is carried through the HDMI cable and port #4 could be used for a headset or mini-speakers.
Best thing would be to call ASUS up for confirmation before making the purchase.
I have a similar setup running on my screen and a set of speakers and a ps3. The way i did it was to send the video over HDMI and then the audio over a RCA connection. This meant that i can have clear audio.
If you do it over HDMI then Headphones, you meet the asus monitor amp (wont be great) i personally would suggest buying the adaptor that outputs RCA and digital optical, that plugs into the old standard component port on the back. Will be much easier and also you will not have audio levels controlled in 2 places.
I wanted to do it similar to you but i wanted a proper aux out to my speakers, no such monitor in my price range exisits at least or really needs it tbh.
Yeah thanks for all your help. I decided to buy a different ASUS monitor with built in speakers. Didn't want to go through the hassle of setting everything up.

That's handy to know.
I have 2 TVs at home with HDMI. The sound works with one but the other I just get Video for some reason
Is it possible to do something like this;
HDMI Video only to my TV
Bluetooth Audio to my Music System / Headphones / Computer speakers
Has any one tried this ?
Can try when I get home from work if nobody has tried it before then.
EDIT: That worked just fine on stock. Should a video on youtube on the TV via HDMI and the sound to my music system via Bluetooth and the Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver

[Q] Using HDMI to DVI converter with AUDIO

Hello all,
I am having an HDMI IN to DVI converter on my monitor, and I am unable to buy HDMI to DVI with Audio converter right now.
Is there any way where I can get the audio from 3.5mm jack/phone speaker instead of HDMI itself? The reason is audio signal is lost when we convert HDMI to DVI.
If you have a speaker system with an External source, plug it in there. Alternatively, you could plug it into the Mic port and tell Windows (Which I assume you're using!) not to mute any of the input.
I have a speaker system, can I plug it in the 3.5mm jack output of my phone and at the same time use HDMI as a video source? I thought when using HDMI port, the 3.5mm jack audio of the phone would be disabled.

it should work cause the HDMI audio is intented as the speaker of the phone then plugging in the 3.5" jack it should switch to it...

Audio out via HDMI when using dock question

Does anyone know if the standard analog audio out still functions when an HDMI cable is hooked up to the Streak's dock? I'm considering hooking up an HDMI-composite converter so I can get video out of the Streak to feed my car's HU and send to the rear monitor, but don't want to bother if it'll cut out the analog audio output.
Both the HDMI and audio out have sound output while docked. Sound through the TV's and the 3.5 out to the stereo will do ya just fine

Usb-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack
Hi! anyone have an adapter to listen music by this cable?
if someone is using one please have us a review
I want to know if the quality of the music is better than 3.5mm jack audio output.
what about .flac audio format? they sound better with this adapter ?
I test audio with Sony.
* MDR-XB500
* MDR-XB90EX
do u mean, 3.5mm to USB-C b/c if u connect a usb c to headphone jack, the quality will not improve, maybe 3.5mm to usb-c, but i don't think the OP3 supports usb audio, i had tried to get a DAC for my oneplus one and usb instead of the 3.5mm jack but it was mono so it did not sounds good and no separation, i would like to find something better too b/c i put a lot into my car audio but i don't listen CDs, i may go with an Android Auto Headunit b/c those should support usb c audio without mono, currently i am using a HTC One M8 with Viper and Dolby Atmos and it sounds pretty good
u may not be able to tell much but here is a video i made to test SQ, this is a flac file

I Saw this v?*deo,
and he use LeEco earphones, and works ....
with a port converter it won't sound any better because you're still getting an analog signal from the phone's dac just being fed out the usb-c port rather than the headphone port. Now if you have some digital usb headphones with their own DAC pulling a digital signal from the port then you could have better sound but only because the headphones' dac is likely more suited to that exact pair of headphones though the OP3's DAC is pretty decent imo compared to other phones I've had.
