I purchased a AV Audio Video TV Out CA-75U Cable Nokia from ebay hoping that this would give me tv out on my Vibrant. I read in another thread that this cable worked. Can anyone confirm or deny this? I've tried switching the cables, red for yellow ect and everything else mentioned in previous threads. I get audio but it buzzes pretty good and I get video that looks that your watching the old scrambled channels before digital cable came out. Anyone know about this cable specifically or can point me in the direction of a cheap cable that for sure will work for me? Thanks
P.S. I know that avatar won't play through the tv out. I've tested with other movie files and I've made sure the tv out is checked in settings along with NTSC. Thanks
hmmm... I used the cable that came with my camcorder and it works perfectly.
i bought this one off of ebay and it works perfectly for me

I can tell you that if you plug in the cable without switching around the red and yellow you will short out your AV connection on some TV's. I shorted out mine by trying to match the colors.
Then I read about having to switch the colors and found out that the AV I had plugged it into no longer worked. Thanks Samsung. If they don't show up with a lagless stock Froyo before the freakin Dell Streak does, I am going to send them a bill for a TV.
Just an FYI. I have no idea if the Nokia cable works or not. I original purchased a cable that supposedly work but in the end didn't. I ended picking up a cable that works. Here is the pinout from the base to the tip.
First ring - Video
Second ring - Ground
Third ring - Right Audio
Tip - Left Audio
I ended up rewiring the one that didn't work and now I have 2 working RCA cables. You just have to be careful when rewiring since the cable is extremely thin. The one I originally purchased has the ground and video wires reverse.

I have a trinity with the WM6 rom I downloaded from here and have only just bought a mini usb - 3.5 audio adapter, now, everything fits in very nicely, but I'm unable to get sound to switch over to headphones, there arent any options in the phone that I know of, and I cant find any help files either, I dont think it's the adapter, well I cant see anything wrong with it anyway, can anyone shed some light on the subject for me?
awww .....help me pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Hi I think at 99% of chances that it comes from your adapter. It might not be good cause if it were it would switch automatically. There is no manual way to activate it cause it's not a matter of software. It is as if you plug a headphone in a mp3 player: There is nothing to activate just plug. Try to buy another adapter which is certified to work with HTC
that's the problem probably: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Trinity_EMUConnector
ahh
thanx michaldu, I believe I see the problem from that diagram now, the adapter seems to be a 5 pin....and the pins are on the top row, which, from that diagram, seems to be for usb, looks like I gotta get me an 11 pin, ah well, thanx anyway dudes, mucho apriciado.
Good news. I found the magic registry hack. With the hack, all that is needed is the original -unmodified- multi-adapter that came with the Touch Pro and a cheap ipod 3.5mm AV cable (i.e., http://www.amazon.com/Macally-Audio-Video-Cable-classic/dp/B000GGQ2ZU).
Simply plug your ipod AV cable into the 3.5mm port on the multi-adapter, plug the adapter in the phone, and set the following registry entry to a value of 1:
\HKLM\Software\HTC\H2W\TVOutCableIn
Immediately after it is modified, the Video Out format selection will pop-up. Select the proper format for your display/TV, and it should immediately show up on the big screen in beautiful color with perfect sound.
When you disconnect the multi-adapter, the value of the registry entry will revert to 0.
-----------------
IMPORTANT NOTE: Apparently, not all 3.5 to RCA AV cable have the same pin-out as iPod compatible cables. You must use iPod compatible AV cables or hope that you get lucky with whatever you've got lying around.
-----------------
Great Work!!
Off the hook!!! This is gonna be sweet! Thanks for the info!
I'll write a quick lil app to do that should be able to finish it by this eve.... if someone else has done it before me welllll good haha but I'll post it up if not!
Thanks

Not sure what you are doing wrong. I'm using NTSC format for video out and an ipod AV cable. Are you using a camcorder or ipod AV cable set?
Nevermind i figured it out. It was actually a bad set of cables.
video was coming out of the RED cable instead of the white one.....
Great! hack tho.. you just saved me 25$ for the cable...
I'd rather flip it myself than run the utility...yet another forum to register in

It's not a bad cable. It's right for a camcorder but I had the same issue with an ipod too
Just to be certain, is this the cable that is mentioned?
http://www.smartphoneshop.nl/product/57427/52822/3361/htc-multifunction-audio-cable-yc-a300.html
I didn't get this with my MDA Vario.
I think I have one of those cables. I don't think I'll use the VGA out though. I might try it out just for giggles.
Nice finding.

I haven't received my Pro yet, arrives later this week hopefully.
Anyhow, on all the unboxing videos I've seen, I've never spotted them unpacking this adaptor. Here's hoping that it actually does arrive with one.

All of the raphaels come with adapters.
Anyone get this working yet? I can't seem to get it going. I bought a standard a/v 3.5mm cord from radio shack. Tried it on multiple tvs but no sound or video comes through. Did I get a bad cord or are there others out there having this same problem?

You turned on "TV Out" in the Sound and Display Settings, right?
Yes of course. I even tried both pal and ntsc for every tv I tried it on

My video out was red and my audio out was white and yellow oh well at least it works.
Now I have to get a PS3 to test the video out on the all share wifi system
Seems like the best way to do video out is to use DLNA (run "AllShare") and then playback on a compatible device like a HTPC (windows media player if you have windows 7) or an xbox/ps3 etc. However, it seems that avatar isn't an option for playback through this method either - DRM issues I guess?

I can double check when I get home, but it was just a generic cable that I got for my husbands car which requires the RCA output to be fully plugged in. (cant just do audio, even if it is only audio that I'm trying to play, strange!)
Why do this

Fyi ifinally got a chance to look and my cables are Maxwell
Sent from my Samsung Vibrant using the XDA app
hope this helps. i have a few of these av cables (from different cameras and ipods) i noticed that the generic av cables that work with the ipods also work with the vibrant. the ones that work with my video cameras but not the ipods also do not work with the vibrant. (they all similarly have the 3 black stripes on the jack)

Same here.

At first, i thought it didn't work, until i realized the 3.5mm jack on the Vibrant is a little tight, and I didn't push it all the way in. Works like a charm.
This could be due to the ROM I'm using (Primee-P9 David's mod), but I tried using Rockplayer Lite to watch a video on my TV through HDMI and there was no Audio. Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps there is a setting you are missing (I found rockplayer to be the most problematic player possible for the a500 with the exception of the crappy Acer apps that are preinstalled) - but HDMI carries audio and video only on receivers called HDMI switching or HDMI repeater, from my experience.
Try MX player, and if that fails, try a alternative receiver so we can figure out the source of your problem.

Thanks, I should've tried different apps to see if it was my tablet or the app. It won't be the problem of the receiver, as I'm plugging it straight into a TV :-D. Hoping its not an HDMI cable problem, I just got this cable from monoprice and I don't have another micro HDMI device to check it with. Thanks!

But it might be the problem of the receiver - your TV is acting as a decoder/receiver and depending on what company produced it and what standards it supports......
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI
Don't just assume a bad cable before trying a alternative receiver (TV) - plug it into a friends system with known good HDMI and see if that works.
Best of luck, hope you get it working
Well, I've used this HDMI port many times before and it works fine, which is why I was saying that the cable has a possibility of it being bad, but I'll try it on another TV as well just in case.

Always a good idea - that way you know for sure if you have a bad cable.
I have an extra set of logitech computer speakers I want to connect to listen to music on my tablet, but I can't get them working.
They are pretty much new and they work on my TV, WDTV and computer just fine using the same earphone jack adapter, but I get no sound when I plug them into my tablet.
I can plug earphones into the tablet and they work fine.
Anyone know why the pc speakers are not working?
interesting man...never trid this,have n7 from few days,but when i initially red this 3ad i thinked "well,impossible,it's OP only problems.."but when i tried my pc speakers on it (curiosity after reading this)i see that they don't works..strange!hope anyone can enlighten us!also my sound av receiver don't output the sound when connected on n7.on gnex works without problems..
i tried in a game...not in the music player yet,but i think it's the same beahviour..
I would guess there is a mechanical incompatibility with the plug, i.e. it doesn't quite fit. Can you post pictures of the working and non-working plugs?

Here's a picture of both plugs, they both seem to plug into the tablet the same amount and are identical as far as I can see other than being different colors.
Top one is the earphones
Not sure why, but when I did a factory reset on my tablet today the speakers work fine. Maybe it was an app or something interfering with it. Anyways, seems to be working now.
