USB Headphones - Touch HD General

Is there anyway to use the usb headphones that came with the older phones on the Touch HD?
The 3.5mm jack is a good added feature but it would also be good to get the usb ones working. There was some mention of it in the TV out thread and I tried the cab file but it didn't work.

3.5mm USB Adapter - No Sound From Headphones

I recently picked up a set of earbuds and a 3.5mm adapter for my Tilt and have not been able to get the sound to play through the headphones... Is this a radio version issue? I'm a bit new to all this. I flashed my phone to the most recent ROM from HTC, installed the keyboard fix and that's about it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
JM
try flashing another radio...this is usually the culprit with no sounds...
I had this problem. When I plugged in the headphones, sound still came out of the phone speaker. It turned out one of the pins in the usb port was bent. If you get sound from the speaker with them plugged in, that could be your problem.
from my understandings...
There are 2 types of mini usb 3.5 mm headphone jacks. one that pulls form the top row on the mini usb port and one that pulls from the bottom row on the mini usb port. One works with the tilt, the other will not. More than likely you got the one that will not work with the tilt.

The sound comes through the external speaker just fine, I also tried ALL the radios and nothing helped. There are no bent contacts so I guess it is probably that I got the adapter that will not work with the tilt. Does anyone know of a specific manufacturer that makes one that does work with the tilt? I picked this one up off ebay for about .50 cents, no idea who makes it.
I had one adapter with gold plated on the 3.5mm headphone side, the connection to USB was bad. I had to hold it down for it to work properly. I have since bought another one (with L shape USB connector), it works perfectly. Either you need to juggle it to see if it's a connector issue or you simply got the wrong type of adapter.
What kind of adapter is it?
I bought a "OEM" adapter from a website selling Tilt accessories, and it works fine. However, when I picked up a Motorola headphone kit with a USB adapter, it did not work, and the sound would only come out of the speaker.
The Moto compatible adapters do not work. HTC specific adapters are fine. They are also available in 2.5mm if you want to use a cell headset with it instead of bluetooth.
The Kaiser requires an 11 pin usb adapter......I believe the Razr uses a 7 pin? if im correct. That is why you dont have sound....
A cheaper way, ie: FREE! is to make one yourself out of the cheap pair that came with the kaiser!
see this: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/08/18/orange_spv_m3100_headphone_adapter_hack
its for the TyTN 1, but it still works for the Kaiser, its also very fun and great to show off to people
I use a mini-USB adaptor (3.5 mm) from Boxwave and it works great with my Shure SE 110 earphones! The adaptor was around $12.00.
Internal Microphone
When I plug my heaphones in, it seems that the internal microphone (on the phone) is disabled.
Is it possible to hear the sound through the headphones and talk through the phone?
I hate having to unplug the headphones every time someone calls me.

USB headset not supported by device?

I plugged in (for the first time ever) my usb headset that came with my blackstone, and i immediatly get a message saying 'Warning, The device does not support usb headset please remove' !!
any ideas?
There is no sound out of the USB connection, please use the 3.5 headphone socket.
am i being a bit thick? i got usb earphones with my blackstone that you are now saying are not compatible?
i didnt get a 3.5mm headset to use, just the usb one.
what am i supposed to do with the usb earphones then?
were did you get you device from
i got it from buymobiledeals.co.uk on uk orange contract
can you post a picture of what you got in the box and the boox itself
Doh! My partner just got a kaiser and I thought her headset was for my phone! Found my 3.5mm earphones in the box, guess i was being thick!
sorry for wasting your times guys, but thanks for your help.

it was my understanding that although the extUSB socket has the ext pins, they are not actually connected to anyting on the blackstone side, so without a bit of hardware and some soldering skills, it wont be possible to ever enable the 'ext' part of the extUSB port
what i find funny is everyones major sore point with HTC is the use of the usb audio. now they finally give us a device with 3.5 jack and were trying to get it to work with usb

Agree - now we have a great 3.5 socket with socking sound there's loads of people who want USB sound. Once HTC provide USB sound I want a micro SD sound output channel !
lol
it did seemlike all i heard as far and cons go with htc was the usb headphones
I think its great they give us a 3.5 port. Just put it on the bottom so car holders can incorporate it for quick simple connections. Guess I'll need to set up bluetooth audio for my in car use. Hate to plug in extra plugs to get audio out.

TV Out T2 question

i found that with a cab, the audio dongle, and an ipod/camcorder cable you can connect your device to an external monitor. Its been said to work with the touch pro and the Fuze, but for some reason I only get audio when i plug the correct cables in and run the cab....any suggestions...i have an ipod video cable and an camcrder video cable

-Your answer (ie, use the right cable for the job ) is already in the 'Accessories' forum

The link on that page isnt in english though
Try this one then:

since the manufacturer did not have to abide by any iso standards for this proprietary tvout, they can cross the a/v cables any way they wish. It just turns out they went the Apple way, and so the iphone's 3.5mm av cable will work perfectly ($4-5 on amazon).
alternately, if you have the standard 3.5mm camcorder cable, you'll have to switch the colors of the rca plug order, works just fine on the Fuze. Plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input. From this Fuze post:

dont buy an ipod cable if you have a regular camcorder cable it will also work! then u can have Tv out for $0.
only thing you have to do is use the adapter that came with the Fuze plug in the cable to it and then instead of pluging in the Yellow to the Yellow and so on, you plug in Red to Yellow input, the Yellow to the White input, the White to the Red input.
=) tada.
also don't forget to download the EnableTvout.cab
you will need it.
Let me know if this works for anyone elso, it def. worked for me

I have a zune av cable that is identical to the ipod ones and it will not output video on my TP2 but it will do audio. i tried switching around the cables to see if it was outputing on the wrong color but it isnt. i downloaded the cab and from the programs it seems to be working but in reality it isnt doing anything other than audio. Any ideas on how to fix this other than getting the real htc cable?
same problem
i have an Ipod video out cable, and all i get is audio, even when i switch the wires around....heres the cable I have http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...cable&lp=3&type=product&cp=1&id=1134703394661

Your Doing it WRONG!!
Please Explain
please explain to me what it is that I am doing wrong
are you using the Ext-USB converter? and plugging the 3.5mm AV cable to it?
sure am...im using the audio dongle thing that came with it and the cable posted in the link above + the cab file
Why go to all the hassle, just buy a TV out cable. Mine cost about £15 which is nothing. It's a fairly simple cable with Video on pin 6 & Video Screen on pin 8. Audio is on 7 & 11 with screen on 5 and 10. The only hassle I have now is antenna for the radio, pin 9. With this pin connected the Rhodium assumes a headset is plugged in and disables TV Out.
cable
Ya have the real deal coming in a few days. Wasnt worth waiting for a potential cab that would work.
I have a differnet question... I have the usb to rca video and 2 rca audio outputs.
When I plug it in it disables the internal speaker and I can not figure out how to get it working without unpluging the a/v cable but I do not want too..
I want to use the T2 with a 3com mini projector and use the speaker in the phone with it.. Anyway to do this, or is there a Video only cable, I looked and did not see on.

[Guide] How to enable USB audio on Nexus 5X

The Nexus 5X's USB Type-C port can both input and output audio, however mine needed some setting up before it would work.
I plugged in a Blue Yeti microphone into the Nexus 5X using both the USB Mini-B to USB Type A cable (comes with the Yeti), and the USB-A female to USB-C male adapter from Google. The Yeti powered on instantly, it's red light turned on, and I could hear myself through its no latency monitoring via headphones (Blue Yeti has a 3.5mm headphone output), however the 5X would not recognize the Yeti as either an audio input nor as an audio output device.
I went into Developer Options, scrolled down to "Select USB Configuration" and changed the radio button selection to "Audio Source". I scrolled down even farther to the Media section, and there I disabled "Disable USB Audio Routing" (you might say that I enabled USB audio routing). There was no immediate effect, so I unplugged the Yeti, plugged it back in, et voila! The phone recognized the Yeti as both a microphone AND an audio playback device simultaneously.
I don't know for sure which of those two settings truly made a difference, as now that I've got USB audio to work, neither of those settings seems to make a difference anymore -- it seems as though my Yeti is permanently approved for USB audio in my 5X!
The USB audio works for listening to Google Music, and even for regular voice phone calls.
Do you have a USB microhone/headset/headphones/DAC? Get a good USB-A female to USB-C male adapter and you'll be quite pleased! And hopefully you'll be luckier than I was and it'll just work when you plug it in, but if not then toggle those USB audio Developer Options as described above.
Finally someone has posted on audio out and in via USB c! Thanks!
Just plugged the 5X into a Focusrite Scarlett 18i20. The phone recognizes the first two input channels and can record in mono or stereo (input 1 as left track and input 2 as right track).
Also it does seem as though you must keep the "Disable USB audio routing" off for it to work.
Sweet, guess I won't need the SoundAbout app anymore.
This is really nice. Able to route usb audio to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic. Much better than the on-board dac, and no longer tied to a specific app.
decided to add this on my index
[INDEX] LG NEXUS 5X Resources Compilation Roll-Up
Isn't this just a USB sound card over OTG? I plugged in a Logitech sound card with line out and mic in and it worked without any tweaks.
My 6th gen iPod nano plays usb audio perfectly fine on my crappy pioneer deh-3300ub headunit, but no matter what settings or cables I try the stereo says "N/A USB" with my N5X plugged in.
Anyone get the audio-in-via-usb to work with the built-in Google camera/camcorder app?
I am using Nexus 6P
The audio-in DOES work with this video app: https://goo.gl/Dtu14
But with the built-in camcorder, it only records audio from the phone's mic, not the usb mic.

I would think google designed it to only use built in microphone. It would take some mods or tinkering to get it to do otherwise.

Can you test and report which apps can record audio with the blue yeti? free and/or paid, if you have the time to test of course.

That's because you most likely did just get a basic 3.5mm to USB-C adapter with no active circuit. I'm fairly certain that Nexus 5X do not support analog passthrough over USB-C, which means you will need something with active circuitry.

You need a portable DAC (get a cheap one like Fiio A1 for 25usd). Nexus 5X USB-C is not USB3/3.1 interface, so it won't work.

USB cable to audio jack

Hey just acquired an essential phone but it didn't come with the audio jack anyone know an alert antivenin that works I tried two active adapters from eBay but they both don't work.. Any suggestions TIA
Check this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/es...ial-ph-1-list-compatible-usb-c-t3726018/page8
There are quite a few suggestions there for adapters that are confirmed working with PH-1.
It has to be an adapter with a built in DAC. (the more expensive kind)
there are other phones that basically use just a converter cable and output analog audio through the USB C port, since those are just changing USB C to a headphone jack they are pretty common and cheap.
The essential phone outputs digitally to a USB digital audio converter chipset built into the converter rather than just straight analog audio.
So just make sure the adaptor you are looking at says it has a built in DAC and it should work.
sometimes they dont list it though so if you are going for a cheap one then you may have to rely on someone in the reviews having an essential phone.
most razer phone and google pixel adaptors work but I'd still verify they have a DAC, sometimes amazon listings will just list a whole slew of compatible phones.
