Is it possible to have audio output via the USB? If so what do I need?
I am looking to buy a dock and the dock will block the Aux jack, so I need to get audio to play via the USB. Its for my car stereo and I have aux inputs or audio inputs (the red and white cables) as options.

Anyone? I think I saw someone got this to work on the Nexus 7.

I know that the tab is supposed to support an hdmi output on the desktop cradle, but I was just wondering if the headset jack functions as a standard definition av output like it does on the galaxy s handsets.

When samsung released info about accessories, the Av/Hdmi cable was using the propietary port not the 3.5 Jack
It is using the proprietary port to output the video or it can use the dock for HDMI output. verified.
Well that sucks for me! It would be awesome if it worked like my Vibrant.

I was just hoping it did both... I hook my vibrant up to the aux input for the dvd system in my wife's honda pilot to play videos... Wishing I could do the same with my tab when it arrives... :-(

Hey guys i was wondering whats the best speaker dock for Android? i'd like to charge my phone and listen to music at the same time i don't think my nexus 4 supports usb audio out yet, i was thinking about getting the philips fidelio as14037
The JBL power up would be nice but it is out of my price range, any other suggestions?
My plan is to use my existing PC speakers. Get my computer to turn when my phone connects to the WiFi, connect to Bluetooth on my PC and use a wireless charger. no need for any cables.

Gear4 was supposed to release an Android app-controlled clock radio during Q3 but it never materialized. It would be the first speaker dock to take advantage of USB audio.

In using an old ihome that was once used before my iPod touch crapped out. I bought a 30 pin Bluetooth adapter from target for like 20 bucks and just stream while my phone is plugged in.

I'm using the iLuv MobiDock speaker. It secures the phone in any position whether you have put it in the landscape. The performance and clarity of the sound are awesome. But the only thing I don't like is this docking station speaker is too costly.
Is it just me or is there an issue with many headphones not fitting the nexus 4?
Can't get my sound magics to fit or an audio out cable to link but to my Bose airplay.
They don't seem to be able to push right in and these are just standard 3.5 plugs
Anyone else had this ?

I had to send my first n4 back because it wouldn't hold a 3.5mm audio jack. The plug would just pop out. Ended up waiting a month to get my new n4.

I believe you can thru Bluetooth or an aux jack.

Not unless the car stereo supports MTP. Most only support USB mass storage which is deprecated on many Android devices now.
A2DP or headphone jack work fine.

So there is no setting inside the andriod to make it compactable with the USB cable? Or is there a work around to make it possible without a aux or Bluetooth ?
Not possible at all. I work at a car stereo shop and not a single one I have tried works. Only solution is auxilary or Bluetooth if you want to spend the extra money... Definitely worth it if you ask me though

Ok thanks for that insight. Just want to clear one more thing on it. Is there any tweaks out there for rooted devices that would make this possible?

Does the aux deliver a better sound experience compared to Bluetooth?

As far as i know there is not... USB is a pain in the ass with android and car stereos anyways. It reads the entire SD card directory and makes it a pain in the ass to navigate through your music. Go for Bluetooth man

Bluetooth quality is purer because straight data.

This actually really dissapointed me, as it was one of my favourite use-cases for my phone, not having to maintain two (or more) seperate music collections - prevents the phenomenon of heading off on a planned highly enjoyable car trip with my current favourite music, only to find that I didn't move it onto the appropriate USB device.
My last phone was an HTC Sensation running a 4.1 JB ROM, I forget which exactly, it got changed a lot . Something minimal. Anyway...
I tried using the headphone jack out, into my car stereo aux in, and even when I upped the input source level in the stereo hardware, and cranked up the volume on the Nex4, it only got to about 60% of the volume I wanted. Bah. The Bluetooth adapter for the stereo is like $200 if it's even available anymore. Very lame.
I could get a headphone amp. Actually, that's probably the easiest thing to do for me. Off I go to the web store.
Ramble over. Oh, first post here. Hi y'all. (software dev)
Thanks for the much needed insight into this issue now. Right now I have to look for Bluetooth adapter. And I hope Google will fill this gap of charging and using the music player with the same single USB cable it would be a good thing to have too.
Hi all hope you all having a fantastic day with nexus 4

Bluetooth is convenient as there is no wire, but folks claiming Bluetooth has better audio quality than line out are incorrect (sorry). You will have much better audio quality with the line out, assuming your head unit's aux input has enough gain to get to levels you normally listen to.

Yea I was wondering about that for a while. Plus Bluetooth kills the battery faster.

My Sony WX-GT80UI says that it accepts MTP.. But when my Nexus 4 is connected, it says device not compatible. How is this? Do I need to have music files on root of card or what else could make a difference?
OK I would like a WiFi adapter to connect to my amp so I can play music from my nexus without having to plug it in, I noticed Logitech do one but its Bluetooth and want a WiFi one if they do them
Anyone doing this already ? What did you use ?
Thanks

The only way I have been able to do it is through Bluetooth. I bought a stereo Bluetooth adapter from monoprice.com and it works very well. I use Google music to stream.

I keep getting told that you lose sound quality using Bluetooth due to compression etc, is this right ?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
No. Bluetooth Quality is indistinguishable from wired output, I did a lot of geeky comparison tests as am a recording engineer and believed the same as you, that BT was horrid mush. Not true!
neither could I see with analysis any difference, i couldn't hear any more importantly. From reading the actual quality is equivalent to 320/350 kbps mp3 which is CD quality with a tiny roll off above 17khz, which is **** you can't even hear if you're over 25, and there's no musical value up there I assure you. I have the Logitech one with n10 setup for my dad, all he has to do is turn BT on on the n10, it connects, then play the tunes.. all the other factors in sound quality are way more important like amp ,speakers, placement / stands, room, eq etc.
