I have been using the mini usb audio adapter with my Hero since I purchased it. I use it to charge and to run audio simultaneously through my stereo. Since the 2.1 updates (both Damage and Fresh) the audio no longer works and the sound quality through the top headphone jack is mediocre. I am aware of equalizer apps but I cant stand having something plugged in to the top and bottom of my phone, it makes it horribly annoying to use the phone. I am willing to test anything and i am willing to bet this is an easy fix that probably got overlooked while building the roms.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.

It happened with the g1 when 1.5 came out. Would love it if someone else with a multifunction adapter and 2.1 could test to see if they have the same problem.
I thought phones with 3.5mm jacks wouldn't route audio thru the mini usb jack? When i first got my hero i tried plugging in an old HTC wired headset that connected via usb and when i plugged it in an error popped up that said something to the extent of "usb headset no longer works with phone equipped with headset jack" So i assumed it was because it seems pointless to have audio running thru usb and rca at the same time.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
I suppose it seems redundant but for docks and convenience it makes sense. being able to charge and run audio through the bottom was a big selling point for me.
I have used both damage and fresh, and get audio out using the adaptor that came with my htc touch pro.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
huh, that's the exact adapter I'm using...
note-if I plug in the adapter while sound is going the headphone icon comes up and it plays for a second then stops.

I'm running the latest DC ROM and audio from the mini USB works ok for me with no problems with a multifunction adapter.
I use this particular adapter:

I agree as well that the audio output from the headphone jack is pretty lousy.
I hope I am not misunderstanding but I just plugged in the USB adapter from my Diamond and was able to get audio from the 3.5mm jack on the adapter and charge at the same time. Im running Fresh 2.0D.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
starting to think its my phone, going to test the adapter on another hero, hopefully it just went bad, I've had it awhile.

Same here, I have my multi adapter from my Touch pro and mogul, as well as the wired headsets from those. Both adapters work just fine, but only the wired headset with the slider volume bar works on the hero for some reason, the touch pro wired headset does not.
Works fine for me.
Thanks for everyones help, i just got back from a sprint store where i tested my adapter on other phones and they gave me a brand new one and it still doesnt work. If you move it around a bit it will catch the headphone contacts so it has to be the port on my phone, just happened to be when i upgraded to 2.1.
They recommended i take it to one of their service stores, does anyone have any advice on these places? ie- do i need to restore to stock and unroot, is it expensive... I do not have the insurance because i baby my phones and have never damaged one... of course i have it on my wifes though... grrr...
and yes the sound quality is MUCH better through the mini usb port.
Thanks again for everyones help, i really appreciate it.
Your phone is still under warranty. Unless you obviously broke it somehow, it won't cost anything. They'll take your phone, probably clean out the connector and check its connections, then give it back to you within an hour or so. If they can't fix it, they'll hook you up with a refurb.
I do recommend restoring to stock. A nandroid backup of stock is definitely best, as they won't check to see if you've installed a recovery ROM, and you won't have to re-root to put your custom backup back on. Otherwise, just run the RUU and restore to full stock before you bring it in.
So for those of you who do use an adapter for various reasons, are you able to answer a call without removing the adapter? Specifically, if you're using the adapter with a pair of headphones or speakers, but no external microphone, can you answer the call using the internal microphone without removing the adapter?
i am a cable freak and currently stream audio through my work pc and use the pc speakers. i would like to use bluetooth to eliminate the line in cable. is there anyone doing this? i don't want to buy a bluetooth adapter if this is not possible.
another reason using the line in cable is a PITA is because when i receive a call i have to pull the cable out. then when the call is over i have to make sure i plug it back in quickly or else the music just starts playing again automatically using the rear speaker (pandora).
This seems like a strange one to me.
My Sony MIDI / Mini HiFi system (I'll check the model number tonight), has a dual RCA / phono connection at the back for auxiliary connections (called "TAPE" on the source menu).
I've always been able to use a cable like this: https://www.mycablemart.com/store/images/products/1806_small.jpg to plug in my iPod or laptop.
I tried the same with my Samsung Galaxy S II, but the touch sensor in the screen stops working completely. All other buttons on the phone work, and the display itself is fine. If I play something first on my phone, and then plug the cable into the headphone jack it plays out fine through the Mini HiFi system. Any one else seen something like this happen?
Well, that's odd. I do the same with my 5800XM and they work fine..
Will try with S2 and post the results.
Thanks.
I have a Sony CMT-EX1, and it's with the "Tape In" dual RCA input at the back.
Well it once happened to me. But with a SGA. I later realized that it happened when i was tryin to charge it using a higher voltage charger.
hi

my phone sound system not working i change speakers but nothing happen so now i want to cheek everything
please help me
Hello,
I have to make a streaming setup using my redmi note 7. I can mirror the screen with a software and the sound with the 3.5mm jack. I connect the phone to the "line in" jack on the computer (the blue one) an it works, i can ear the audio from the phone on pc. But when i connect the phone to pc via usb for mirroring screen, the sound becomes crappy and i hear a low background sound like a whistle. The same happens if i connect the phone to charging in power supply. If a try to move a bit the usb plugged, i hear the "distortion".
With my Samsung Galaxy s6 this doesn't happen.
How can i solve?
