[Q] How do I still use tablet speakers with HDMI out?

So got myself a micro hdmi mhl cable, connected to my monitor and get mirroring perfectly nice.
However, by default I know it will want to use the audio via the hdmi -- but my monitor has no speakers. Is there a setting where I can tell it to use my tablet speakers still?

Still haven't found a way, any suggestions?

Set of external speakers? I don't know of a way the use the n10's speakers with HDMI, but I did get some computer speakers (that I use for my raspberry pi) to work on the n10 with HDMI... The n10 worked well as a temporary replacement for my Raspberry Pi media centre while I modified the Pi's lego case

Yeah that's what I'm looking like I'm going to have to do. Need to get a USB OTG cable that doesn't block the headphone jack first though.
Was hoping maybe there was an app someone knew of, or a feature in a ROM that might allow you to select default sound output when there's multiple options.

[Q] i9505(int) hdmi through receiver

hey,
i can't get it to work through my av receiver (denon avr-1909),tv is lg 37lf66,or lf65,not sure now),of course i have 11pin mhl adapter from samsung,connecting directly to tv it just works,but not through receiver,it displays "Connect your device to the TV directly via the HDMI cable",i traced it to string "hdmi_connect_indirectly",which makes more sense than the message
so,is that some kind of protection,or what the ** is samsung trying to tell me? (this string is all that i can trace )
logcat captured as 'clear-connect-wait for text-stop'
that message "TvoutToast : Připojte zařízení přímo k TV pomocí kabelu HDMI" is my error message,only in czech lang
edit:forgot rom-currently omega 7,but the same problem was with stock,some earlier version,maybe a month back latest

I have the exact same issue on my i545 Galaxy S4 when using my Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter. It works fine connected directly to my TV, but not to my receiver. What's odd is that the old MHL cable for the S3 works fine with my receiver when connected to the S4
It makes me wonder if Samsung intentionally set it up like that. Hopefully someone can shed some light on this issue.

Problem connecting S4 through AV receiver
Hi Guys
We have the same problem - just upgraded our TV to Panny GT60 and AV receiver to Pioneer LX76 - connecting S4 to TV with Samsung MHL adapter works fine, but get the same message as above when trying to connect through the receiver (either using Pioneer's supplied cable & MHL port or the Samsung adapter via a normal HDMI port).
Contacted Samsung and had this response:
Dear Matt,
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Support.
I am sorry to hear the issues you are having in connecting your device to an AV Receiver. I can understand this is very frustrating.
Unfortunately with the HDMI output of the device we can only support a connection to a TV I am afraid. We are sorry for any inconvience but a connection to an AV Receiver is not a supported feature of the device.
If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know.
Our Customer Support Team love feedback! Share your thoughts on this response by completing the survey at the bottom of this page.
Kind regards,
Thomas
Online Support Team
SAMSUNG Customer Support Centre ​
I've also emailed the MHL consortium as they list both devices (AV & phone) as "MHL compatible", but to be honest expect a similar answer. Pioneer think that it may be something to do with copy protection as if you can stream HD video via the receiver you could output it to a recording device of some sort.
Anyway, hope this helps,
Best
Matt.

Code:
Share your videos, photos and more on your HDTV! The MHL 2.0 HDTV Smart Adapter supports HD signals up to 1080p.
Connect directly to your MHL-enabled mobile phone with a Micro USB input to create an HDMI docking station.
Then, connect a standard HDMI cable for easy connectivity to home theater or monitor. In order to function,
the Adapter also needs to be connected to a power source via the Micro USB port on the adapter itself.
(HDMI Cable and Micro USB Travel Charger sold separately). MHL 2.0-enabled phones allow a higher charge
to be passed through the adapter, allowing you to play video without needing to attach a charger.
my home theater is denon avr-1909 + ue40es8000 and also my blood is starting to boil...
also(and i'm 99% sure this is in stock rom) there's option to select audio mode to stereo/multi-channel,sure to prevent piracy..
aaaand one more thing....i can play music to receiver when i disconnect tv from receiver(i could disable hdmi-cec,but you know.. ),so it appears,that s4 don't like more than one device on hdmi bus(as we know,that all devices must talk to sender i guess,in this case s4),so this seems as a bug to me....
i'd like to see any mention about galaxy s4 supporting only tv as hdmi device...
edit 4.9.: got +- the same answer as Matt ...still trying,because i believe this is bug,maybe cyanogenmod has some cure(i think i checked and it was the same,so maybe some closed cource firmware?)..let's hope for samsung fix

Cyanogenmod doesn't support mhl, does it?

S4/hdmi works with note2 or S3 cable
Hi All,
I also have the same issues with ET-H10FAUWESTA cable but hdmi output through my onkyo hometheater works with a cable for S3/Note2 from "Cable matters". I can't tell about mhl, i have not tried, but audio & video work well.
Hope it helps.
Regards,

Same issue
I'm having the same issue with my ET-H10FAUWESTA cable. It worked for a while before this, but now it's displaying that error as well, even when it does display through the receiver. I don't understand why it would stop and then start again. Why would they support 7.1 surround sound and 3D if you can't even put it through a receiver? My TV doesn't have 7 speakers and a sub woofer.

MHL - HDMI adapter to AV receiver amplifier

Guys, I have a MHL HDMI adapter connected to my AV receiver (Denon AVR 2312) but the screen on the TV just flicks and no phone display appears. If connect the MHL HDMI adapter directly to the TV - it works. Anybody has tried to connect sgs4 to AV receiver via MHL HDMI adapter? I have 9505 with android 4.3 test version

I have the same Receiver (AU version with slightly better Audyssey) and can confirm it does work. I Have MHL cable plugged into SAT/CBL input. Have a look through your amps settings, specifically the input it's connected to.
What kind of cable is it- Official Samsung or Ebay Yum Cha?

Thanks. I use theoriginal Samsung MHL-HDMI adapgter... (but not original HDMI cabel). I tried all HDMI inputs, including the front AUX one... the phone shows me - Connect the HDMI directly to TV... very strange. I tried to make the HDMI settings in AVR not to upscale, not to convert etc.. But the same result.. Today I asked Denon support - they simply did not know what is this MHL

I have this same issue. Believe it or not, the input has to be an input specified for MHL/HDMI. Yes, it works if you plug directly into the TV, but if you try to pass it through a receiver input it won't go unless the input says so. Some receivers and some blu ray players have designated HDMI inputs that also handles MHL. If you look at the label of these inputs it won't just say HDMI, it will be labeled as MHL/HDMI.

Universal USB Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter

Has anyone tried connecting MOJO CTRLR to a universal 4.0 Bluetooth adapter successfully? The day I got my two MOJOs I was installing the one in my bedroom and tried to move the CTRLR adapter from USB 2.0 to the 3.0 to work in TWRP when the flimsy plastic on the back of the adapter came off. it still works but I ordered a couple of USB 4.0 adapter with the hope to replace the damaged original from Mad Catz.

Sorry just seeing your message. it did not work.

sorry for reviving (I don't get why it's so wrong if the thread is still actual..), but well.. it's still on top of gögle hits..
anybody tried them in actual MOJO? I'm going to buy few of them - and for PCs (based on above) they should work.. but what about the actual Mad Catz MOJO? I don't have much experience with Android (mostly moderate hatred) - so I think it's question of drivers / what's included / supported already..
(I will give you an update after my findings - esp. if no-one has anything to add here).

Hi there I recenly lost the usb dongle that came with the controller. This gamepad was included with the mad catz mojo android games console. I guess you need that dongle as the controller is ( bluetooth smart ) not normal bluetooth. I recently ordered a usb bluetooth V4 wireless mini dongle. I will reply back on here with my findings once it is posted to me

03/07/2019 - usb bluetooth V4 wireless mini dongle came today did not work at all, so I guess it has to be the usb bluetooth smart dongle that came with controller which I lost in first place. Could not even buy or find a replacement usb bluetooth smart dongle from eBay for it

If anyone finds a way to buy a usb bluetooth smart dongle for this controller and get it working, could you please leave a link here for other people who are having these same problems
Thank You :good:

it is my understanding, that getting android 5.0 into the M.o.j.o. should make the m.o.j.o. be able to connect to the controller without the need of any bluetooth... if i am not mistaken, the fact is android 4.2 comes with bluetooth 2.1 support and the controller itself is bluetooth 3 or 4 (cant remember which one it is)

Connecting OP6T to car usb for audio output

Hello, is there any way to connect my device to car usb and play audio through the car stereo. I have tried all options after connecting the USB but it just doesn't work. I'm rooted so can use any rooted apps that allow this
Regards,
Max

I don't think you can play directly from your phone via USB in the fashion that an AUX connection does.
It will work through a file manager in your car stereo, where it reads all the music in your phone, and you can select what you want to play, on the stereo. Like a pen drive connection.

Perhaps a better solution is a USB-C to stereo phono adaptor and use the AUX input?

It's rather ridiculous that this cannot be done on a oneoplus. It works so well on my previous iPhone

So it works like this on the iphone? - You plug in your phone to the car stereo via a usb cable, then you turn on the music player in the phone and it plays through the car stereo.

Anyway, if thats not working then why not just use an AUX connection.

What car is it? Most can bluetooth stream these days via AD2P protocol without the need to physically connect it.

This issue is the quality of music is best via usb

I have a older car 2006 Impala SS and just use a Bluetooth plug in Streambot Mini and with a Bose Stereo the music is outstanding.

It's rather ridiculous that this feature is not there for android. I believe it's a software issue and can be easily implelemented by a mod

Its an Android PIE issue. For me it was working fine with my op3T (on Oreo) usbc to my car audio(Pioneer). But with the 6t it dosent work... I Searced the forums and found out that this is the case for the Pixel and Mate 20 phones also... :/ Sadly we have to wait for google ti fix this issue

Silly idea, but have you tried to turn on otg storage prior to connecting usb.. settings > system ...
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk

It doesn't work even after enabling otg, its a pie issue, would be great if someone can come up with a tweak for this it would be ideal

I've been waiting for so long now. Any updates on the issue advancements?

Just do it.
