[Q] MHL and digital audio - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Aim: I would love to get a digital audio signal from my Gnote to feed an external DAC (then onto a headphone amp). Some have tried a DAC directly attached to the micro USB port, but apparently it doesn't work.
Question: Using an MHL to HDMI cable, then a box such as this...

...would it provide a pure digital audio signal using (say) the stock music player?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] HDMI and speaker line out question

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.

[Q] Preamp AUX audio signal output?

I am interested in connecting my phone to an external DAC/AMP (Fiio e17/e9) via its micro USB port and is wondering if this is possible?
Does Andriod OS support AUX preamp audio signal out through it's micro USB port? If so, which adapter should I purchase?
Or I could maybe do it by using a combination of adapters MHT to HDMI first and then HDMI to SPDIF (PCM signal) ? Any suggestion on the adapters?
Cheers
BUMP!
anyone?
I want ti do the same. I have a note 2 and would like to know if there is a method to connect the a fiio e11 via a 3 5mm stereo jack with the pre amp output from the phone?
regards

[Q] Anyone found a micro USB > USB + Stereo cable?

The Samsung Dock has a 3.5mm stereo jack on the back so clearly the audio is available via the microUSB.. So, given i would like to charge the Note and play music in the car, has anyone found a cable that has micro USB at one end and splits to USB (for charging) and stereo 3.5mm (for audio)?..
thx!

Nope. I've only found this http://www.shopandroid.com/htc-3-in-1-usb-adapter/5A18A3571.htm
I don't know if it would work with SGN (even though you would still need an adapter from miniusb to microusb).
something along the lines of this?

chromecast to usb audio input?

Has anyone tried to use an hdmi to usb adapter to hook chromecast to a stereo with a usb input and built in DAC?
If this works it would be a great cheap way to stream google music to my amp with a built in DAC. I'd like to avoid the BT route.
I guess the big issue would be if the audio format was readable for a dac after being pushed through a HDMI to USB converter.
Thanks ahead of time.

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.
