I have had my Mad Catz M.O.J.O for about 4 months now and It is rooted. I have everything set up where I have 2 computer speakers connected to my tv while the M.O.J.O. is connected via Hdmi. However, I have been having problems with the sound not coming out of the tv. It has of course worked at some point before. I have tried to search it, but I haven't found anyone else with the same issue for the M.O.J.O. The sound is enabled and turned up in the settings.
Hi!
Just for clarification have you tried playing sound on your TV via HDMI from another device than the Mojo? And does the Mojo play sound when plugging the speakers directly to it's audio jack?

Yes I have. Before I used the M.O.J.O, I used my laptop to connect to the tv for games, movies, etc. The sound worked fine.
The M.O.J.O does connect with the speakers if you plug them in directly to the audio jack, but it doesn't use 100% of the speakers. It will have some sound in one speaker and in the other there will be no sound.
I recently bought a Griffin Aux Audio Cable to try. I connected one end to the M.O.J.O and the other end to my tv's audio jack. While using the cable, the sound doesn't instantly work, but after some minutes it appears to in a sense reconnect the M.O.J.O sound to the tv. After the sound reconnects, I can then connect my speakers and then everything works perfect.
I'm not exactly sure why, but the problem is solved for now.

Did you figure out why it works or not?
I recently swapped my ouya for mojo and I dont get sound on HDMI at all no matter what cable/port combination I use, the sound is present on speaker output.

If I were you I would try to return it if I can or try to use the warranty if it still has one.
The problem from mine progressed and worsened to where I just sent it off to Mad Catz. I had got another one (latest model) and it works much better. If you didn't buy it and just swapped out, I am currently selling mine. It's practically new with no problems. If not, I hope I was somewhat helpful.

The headphone port on my unit looks installed improperly - I do get sound via headphones, but its possible its short circuited somewhere and the unit is cutting off HDMI audio thinking the phones are plugged in, I will return it and see if they can fix it, but I expect its something silly like this.

Ok, Mad Catz is very helpful when helping fix issues for their customers. They should be able to help you with the problem. Call them and or file a ticket to send it in.
Fixed,
The issue was that my unit was a refub and the headphone jack was soldered incorrectly, we unsoldered the jack and short circuited all the right pins and now i have working sound

Wow I thought this would be easy.. I have a VX6800 Verizon that I enjoy listening to indie 103.1 indie stream through TCPMP except the speaker blows. I thought I would get a usb to mini headset adaptor so I could plug into my mps player speakers, but the adaptor I got from Radio Shack dosen't seem to work? Do I have to change some setting or something to get the audio to go out through the USB jack?
TIA,
Chris

You have a better chance using the Bluetooth speaker set. You get better quality "stereo" and you can increase the volume way louder.
Also try searching for the SRSWOWHD CAB. This enhances the volume in your phone with some modifications in the program.

The adaptor you got from radio shack probably is not wired correctly for the type of connection on the phone, even though it physically fits there it is kind of a propietary connection and has extra pins that are not standard. Many of the phone accesory websites have the correct one. Here is a link to one that works in our phone http://www.elitextreme.com/3stauadforht3.html
jjlwork is right, our phone has 11 pins where typical miniusbs have 10. You wont get it to work right, or you will mess up your phone.
Try this too, I have an extra in case my other breaks cause I use it in my car. I will have a writeup in accessories later today.

My iPhone headphones do not work in the play. When I use my Play headphones in my desktop radio it is very quiet and I have to put the volume way up.
I have an Ipad that I use every day and don't want to carry two sets of headphones.
that is abit strange mate,
would of thought they would work as there are the same audio jack socket
you could buy a bluetooth adaptor that way you can connect via bluetooth
to both devices without the need to carry two headphone around plus u dont get wires everywhere when u gotta plug them in
I was thinking about that.
I was also thinking about getting BT headphones from eBay.
It is strange.
all sony phones have had this setup, the wiring of the mini jack socket is swapped around in some way or another so only sony made headphones will function fully. sony are well known for this type of thing they love to make it so you have to use their products with their products. annoying but i dont think there is going to be an easy solution as no software can emulate the wiring in question to change it to work with normally wired headphones
hope this helps

I think it is probably more to do with the headphones, or the OP's handset, because my SkullCandy headphones work fine in the Play and anything else i plug them in to. Also, before i got them I used the SE headphones and they worked on the phone and my computer.

Handsfree headsets have a slightly different plug from normal headphones. When using your Play headset with your desktop radio, pull the plug out just a bit and you'll hear everything normally without resorting to cranking the volume way up. This also happened with my Nokia handsfree, so I assume it's related to the mic.
As for why your iPhone headphones don't work on your Play, that's strange since most headphones i've tried with my Play work Flawlessly, from cheap $2 Knockoffs to some more expensive gear, even the Nokia handsfree I mentioned before works great with the Play.
My play from verizon came with a little cable that converts their sony configuration to the standard jack. I don't need it as i use BT handsfree.
I just tried another generic set of headphones and put a video from youtube on. I open youtube the sound goes through the phone speakers and not the headphones. This doesn't change if I unplug and plug them back in with the video going either. My Sony headset only works with music. The youtube has no sound at all. I wonder what is going on. I'm going to have to call Sony.
Thanks for the half plugged in trick works great I don't have to carry two pairs of headphones now that my Sony ones work in my laptop!

I tried the Sony headphones in my Advent Vega and, indeed, if they're wholly plugged the sound is weird, metallic. Half-plugged, they worked fine.

That is what I was getting. Do regular headphones work on your play?
@duramajin you'll have to be careful in a quite place because turn of the head could pull them out and sound would be coming out of laptop speakers.... I've just resorted to BT headphones.... SE HBH-IS800 are quality and really small.

No issues here. My portable speakers, my headphones I use on my ipod, everything works in my play. It's just a standard jack.

if you get a BT adaptor you dont have to worry about what headphones u use

Hey guys, does anyone have a problem with their aux when playing music in the car?
When i plug the wire in, the music plays with the external speakers rather than the car speakers?
My htc one x plays fine :/
Any ideas?
Is the aux cable working fine on other devices? Have you tried other apps? Mine works fine on my car, only issue I have is that the volume is too low...

this.
Mine is working perfect in 2 cars.
i think its possible that i didnt ground the aux cord correctly when I did it long time ago
but in the mean time i found a fix for it, there this app called "SoundAbout" it forces the audio out as "wired headset with mic"
but still, the strange thing is, it works fine on my htc one x / iphone
Hello.
My Nexus player works almost perfectly, but, if I am playing anything, suddenly the sound stop for a second an comes back. It happens during the whole video or song. I reset the player and look for answers in Google but I haven't found a solution.
What can I do?
Check to see if the HDMI connection on your receiver has MHL, I had to switch ports BC the one I was using had MHL and it would default my sound output to analog.... When I changed to a different HDMI connection the issues went away.
I tried all 6 of the ports on my onkyo receiver and they all had the sound issue, also tried a hand full of different HDMI cables. Called up Asus and they apparently haven't heard of the problem but they're willing to RMA my unit.

I've had the same issue on my TV. Haven't found a solution yet. Super aggravating. The issue only occurs on my TV regardless of using the built in speakers, or passing through the digital audio. The issue doesn't occur on another tv. I believe the issue stems from the way my TV processes the audio.

I'm using a Onkyo 626 and had issues until I moved to different HDMI port. Onkyo is known for HDMI issues so maybe you have a BSD receiver. Might want to also check the receiver firmware... Probably a long shot but who knows....
I ran into this same issue a few months ago. The only way I could fix this was by bypassing my receiver. I had to use the HDMI directly into my TV, then forward the audio to my receiver via optical cable.

Multiple people have reported this issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/nexus-player-audio-dropout-t2942196
I noticed mine happened when connected to my Pioneer receiver but not when I connected directly to my TV (also worked fine through NP ->XB1 HDMI in -> Recevier -> TV). NOt sure why the receiver was the issue. I RMAd it and the replacement works better. I no longer get audio drops while watching video but I do notice that some audio doesnt come through like menu clicks but no longer happens when watching video or listening to music.
Thanks for your reply
I do have an Onkyo Home theater connected with HDMI. Even if the sound drops stop by connecting directly to the TV, I will need the Onkyo system anyway.

Supposably, they fixed the issue with my Nexus Player and it's on its way back. I will report back if it's fixed or not. The HDMI text always blinked on my onkyo reciever when the sound stuttered. My cable box, chromecast, and two other things have never had an issue.

How did you get it out to them so quick? Yeah, let me know. This has been a deal breaker for me.
I called them twice to address this issue and the guy at the call center elevated the issue and told me to bring it to the nearest FedEx place and they'll pay for it. So, I got it shipped this last Monday. Got an email saying it was fixed. No details on what was wrong. Will post details if and or when I get them.
OK guys, I know nothing of what they fixed.Seeing that they just sent me a whole new bare box unit. I now have a spare Nexus Player box... 0.o
I plugged in the new Player and updated to 5.1, so far zero sound problems... Basically, from what I've seen; I'd recommend those whom have the audio problem to get their player RMA'd. I'll report back and complain again to ASUS if it stutters anymore.
Was the RMA done through ASUS? Did you have to send back the device (pay shipping costs)? What was the turnaround time to get back your Nexus Player? Thanks for your help.
Hi guys, so im wondering if anyone else have encountered a similar problem to mine.
I usually play music through bluetooth headsets, works absolutely flawless!
But in my car, a 2010 Audi A4 i only have the option to talk via the phone, car doesnt support music playback. So when i plug my 3.5mm in and try to play music (via spotify) i get this crackling sound. Doesnt happen on other devices like my JBL speaker, but the wierd thing is that my girlfriends iphone doesnt produce any crackling sound what so ever in the car. So im looking for options, i run stock OOS and kernel, no root or anything.
Would V4A help with this?
Anyone else got a similar problem?
Someone might recommend me to get a bluetooth adapter via AMI in the car but sadly the car doesnt have AMI. Or atleast i cant find it anywhere!
Any other solutions you guys could recommend?
Thanks in regards.

Can you update the car stereo firmware? At that age possibly not, but I had similar issues with a different phone and updating the media panel firmware fixed connectivity.
Also, try changing the Bluetooth codec in settings > advanced to see if that helps connect.
The crackling via 3.5 jack sounds like a faulty wire or lose connection on input or output. Do you get the same issue when you plugin the jack to your JBL input socket?

Could probably update the firmware, but the shop is most likely gonna ruin me haha.
Thats the wierd thing, doesnt happen on my JBL speaker, or a wired pair of headphones. Hence why i was sure it was the car. But my girlfriends phone sounds crystal clear, old moto x style didnt have the problem either!
Had the same problem with 3.5mm headphones until I removed the pre-applied plastic screen protector... This thing was causing too much static electricity in my jeans pocket as I walked resulting in crackling noises in the headphones
We have two op5, And The other sounds exactly same, cracling sound. The other Works just fine. We also have A4 b8. Our other car, VW Caddy, both Works fine.
Wires are good, jacks also.
Any ideas Whats wrong?
I have the OnePlus 5t and a 2011 a4 b8 and have the same issue... tried with 2 different aux cables (that worked fine with my old phone) Glad I'm not the only one. My phone sounds fine on any other device. Blasting music through my headset right now no problem. But in the a4 I get crackles any time I bring my phone volume over half! If anyone finds a solution I'd love to try it. Unfortunately can't get viper arise to install on stock room (rooted) so I haven't tried that route. My only Idiea is to try an amplifier.
