Route Audio Through USB-C Port Instead of Headphone Jack - LG V20 Questions & Answers

My LG V20 has USB-C and so does my LG monitor. I plugged my phone into my monitor and it displayed the screen and charged the phone. Then I plugged a USB mouse and keyboard into the other USB ports on the monitor and they both connected to the V20. So when I'm home I can use my V20 just like a computer with one USB-C cable.
Is there any way I can route the audio out the USB-C port instead of the headphone jack? So the sound would go to my monitor. My speakers are hooked up to the audio jack on my monitor.

in developer option there is an option to route all audio through usb...about half way down the developer menu
i use this when i connect my gaming headset with an otg adapter, hyper x clouds with full 7.1 emulation, it is amazing.
hopefully there are no issues using that setting with video out, usb type c (usb 3.1) should have the bandwidth

My bad for the late reply. My app didn't show that anyone responded. I went into the developer settings and changed Select USB Configuration to Audio Source. It didn't work. All the audio still routes through either the headphone jack or the internal speaker. There could be an issue with the simultaneous output of video and sound. I messed with my monitor and didn't see any USB-C audio settings.

And how should the video signal be transferred? The Ideos X5 doesn't have HDMI out or anything, just an audio jack and a micro USB port.

Through the audio jack. It will give audio R L and video. I remember my old Nokia 5800 had this type for video output.

My Galaxy S has the exact same feature. It's much better plugging the phone into a TV to show pics and vids, rather than have 10 people peeking over my shoulder to get a glimpse.
I have a feeling the Galaxy S audio jack has an extra pin that allows this feature though, I'm not sure the X5 has it.

Well, the X5 has support for 4 pin headsets (stereo + mic + ground). It will be interesting if the "mic" pin can also put out video then...
In order to support it, the motherboard has to be designed to enable the mic pin for the composite video (and the software to be enabled).
It would be cool but nowadays most TVs have USB / uPNP so it´s easier to connect the USB cable to the TV than to carry a composite (arrgghhh composite...) cable. Also through USB pics are processed as they are, no losses. Through a composite TV-out the signal is converted to a very bad quality analog 576i/480i
I don't think that you can show phone's screen thru USB. But you can with the composite video out
Actually you can. The tv takes your phone as a memory stick

What about using a Micro USB to HDMI cable?
Like this one:

Hi,
Was anybody able to get the tv-out working? I have the 4 pin jack to 3 rca cable but it doesn't work. I searched google but I didn't find the answer. In one chinese site I have read (using google translate) that u8800 pro has the mini usb to hdmi tv-out but an adapter is required. Can anybody confirm this?
3,5mm jack you can use only with audio equipment. micro usb to hdmi sounds possible.

Many camcorders have 3,5mm plug for audio and video. So it could be possible.

HDMI to TV - video, but no sound - anyone else?

When I connect my Nexus 10 to my HDTV, it shares the device's display without issue, but there is no sound output. I've tried everything that I can think of. Am I missing something? The last time I connected any android device via HDMI was my Xoom over a year ago, and since I got rid of that pretty quickly (too heavy) it's been a while. Suddenly I am having problems.
This is the cable I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/Mediabridge-F...1353207285&sr=8-1&keywords=Micro+HDMI+to+hdmi
same here
Habe the same Problem. Sound isnt Wirkung with HDMI . is there a solution ?
If I find out this thing doesn't support audio out via HDMI :crying:
Someone tell me theirs is fine... please?
All quiet here, too.
I am using this cable.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C3HZCC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01
I had the exact opposite for a while (sound with no video). I was using a micro to normal HDMI adapter and a normal cable and it turned out the cable connection to the tv was loose. Fixed and all was well. Sound and video.
I didn't expect others to have the same problem. That's scary. I'm going to call Google Play support then. Thanks guys.

I have no problem with HDMI audio out... both audio and video work fine... on stock & even with my custom ROM...
I think I found the solution.
Since my TV is older, it only had 2 HDMI ports. I was using an HDMI switch to give me more ports. Running through the switch gave me picture, but no sound. When I plugged in the cable directly into the TV, it worked perfectly.
I found the solution from a Droid razr owner who had the same issue with an HDMI extender.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-support/214913-no-sound-connecting-hdmi.html#post2176611
There should be more documentation for this kind of thing, but a hunch..
...maybe the hdmi ports have to be arc enabled (1.4a) then only giving audio?
So, mixing and matching cables/connectors/switchers will undoubtedly cause problems.
I'm also having no sound, but display works fine. I have it connected straight to the tv with a standard cable. Any ideas?

I am, also, experiencing no sound over HDMI problem. It might be the cable. What cable are you using?
I had a similar problem the other night. I fixed it by disconnecting HDMI and then turning volume up on n10 and then reconnecting HDMI. When connected the volume buttons didn't change volume at all.

I had the same problem. I solved it by connecting my amp to it via the headphone socket, turning the volume on the n10 up and then pulled the headphone jack out.
Odd that you cant adjust volume with just a hdmi cable plugged in.

USB Audio Out Works!!!!

Heads up to all the audio guys out there. Listening to music as I type through my USB DAC > tube amp setup with no special setup. Just USB OTG cable to DAC.
USB Audio Out FTMFW!!!!!

Just a regular USB OTG connected through the USB cable that comes with the DAC
I have my HTC one with headphone jack to rca cables going into my tube preamp the foreplay. Then from the foreplay to my Dynaco ST70.
YouTube videos sound like garbage bags flapping in the wind.
The tube audio only people would smash my face in if they heard what YouTube sounded like on tubes. Not a good mix at all...

Yep, just a run of the mill standard usb OTG cable and then plug the usb cable from your DAC into it and your good. You'll get the headphone symbology in the status bar and the beats logo although beats appears to be bypassed (which is good) utilizing usb audio out.

Is that version 1.29? I have a T-mobile HTC One with 1.27 and USB DAC wouldn't work with FiiO E7 or JH-3a.
4.3 Update broke the USB audio out session disconnect
I've got the Sprint variant. Loaded the OTA update to 4.3 and now my USB audio gets hung when I disconnect my OTG cable. If I try to plug it in and reconnect later, my handset locks up tighter than Fort Knox. I've tried a factory reset, took a trip to the Sprint repair center (where no one even knew the audio out function existed ) so I'm stuck rebooting my phone between every listening session. Complete PITA. Specifically purchased this phone to use with my Fiio Andes, and everything was great until 4.3.
Does this significantly effect battery life?

[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.

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.

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.

Oh that's not going to work, the USB port only works with pen drive and and the car system read files saved on it. The only way to play music from your phone would be to use Bluetooth or Jack port if it has them.

You can try plugging the phone in (via otg) go into Settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration; (change to) Audio Source
*usual no responsibility disclaimer*
On my MXPE it will revert back to MTP on usb disconnect (which is annoying as hell if your otg/usb cable disconnects at the slightest movement)
If you end up getting it to work let us know how plz

With the OTG cable, you can give digital out to your DAC. I am playing with my Mojo Chord and it works fine with Onkyo HF player or USB Audio Player.
so an adapter from micro usb to audio 3.5 would actually work here?
