Hi, I was wondering if anyone has an experience to make a Samsung micro-USB to 3.5mm audio jack adapter to work? Something got into my audio jack socket causing contact issues. I don't have USB headphone, or external audio devices connected by OTG cable -- just plain headphone (or car audio's aux-in) connected to Note 2's usb port using the adapter ... will it work? Do I need an app to drive that?

this should work
eventually you can buy bluetooth headphones or adapter

Thanks -- unfortunately it didn't, but maybe because my USB-3.5mm adapter is too old (from another long dead Samsung phone). I even tried the SoundAbout app (free version) but still no joy. Maybe bluetooth is the solution to my problem but it's one more battery to charge.

If you look at the charging cable for it, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack (so that it can be plugged into the aux in on a stereo)
Is there any way to buy just this cable so we can have audio over usb? Or even a way to hack one together DIY style?
Thanks.

Have you tried plugging usb in from the charging cable to see if you can put into mass storage mode and read files like a thumb drive? I would check that first.
That would probably work but I just have never seen a cable with the 3.5mm jack built in. I don't have my atrix yet, just doing some research into different things.
Should have it by late next week

Yeah, just so there's one cable coming down for charging and audio aux. Unfortunately, I don't see a way for a stereo or processor to read the phone properly until Harman's Google Open Protocol project gets into the market.
I have the dock/cable
One cable goes into the dock which the usb on the phone plugs into.
The HP jack comes out of the other end to connect to the AUX input in the car.
There are two labels on the cable, one says not to plug directly into the phone on the mini usb end and the other says not to plug into a PC (both in pictures)
I have the car dock and the usb cable supplied with the 3.5 mm does not work as a sync cable.

It's a dock dependent cable. Great question and perhaps abthird party will step up and manufacture a micro USB charging/ audio combo cable that can be used without seperate dock. Alternatively, contact your local rocket scientist. Lol! Actually, the multimedia dock does exactly the same thing, presenting an audio out jack.

But in the multimedia dock, I would assume that audio is coming through HDMI. This dock is much different than laptop dock and multimedia dock just because it conencts with phone only over USB but still gives an audio plug at the other end.
Also, I would assume that audio streaming is built into the cable and not in the dock because cable connecting to the dock is just a USB connector.
Now if audio is flowing through USB cable, the only question is if it can be played without using accompanied 3.5 mm audio jack?
To get to bottom of this question, it would require some USB debugging expertise which I dont have. Can anyone check with devs in forum?
There is no way audio is coming through HDMI because there is no HDMI port.
The car dock does something with the atrix where the atrix turns the USB port into analogue audio out/power. It's pretty much replacing data with audio out.
It specifically says on the cable to not plug into a computer, because the wires do not go where they are normally supposed to go (since it splits)

I have no reason to believe that the multimedia dock (not to be confused with the HD dock) and the car dock are any different in how the micro USB connector interacts with the phone. One thing that we do know is that the micro USB connector on the car dock is expecting a special cable. It literally states not to connect the car dock wire directly to the phone. Anyway, the bottom line is why does it matter, the key is that Moto engineered a product that will charge and output audio using a single connector. The car dock wire has the 3.5 mm audio out. The multimedia dock has the 3.5 mm audio out on the back... All appears to be the same to me. One thing worth noting is that the multimedia dock will not interface with a PC. I read a post that described the connection type, but can't remember what it was.
Im not sure how the he dock works, but the webtop hack has sound. If the he dock is just webtop/hd sharing, then yes, its hdmi. Charging via the usb port. But I don't own those docks, only the car dock, so im not sure.

The HDMI port is for video with audio only and used for the HD dock, lap dock and webtop hack. The micro USB port is used by the HD dock and lapdock to provide USB hub like functionality to the dock as well as a mechanism for charging the phone. This USB hub like functionality is the basis for the lapdock keyboard/track pad and HD dock wired USB keyboard and mouse. A Bluetooth keyboard/mouse can be substituted I believe, connecting via the phone's built in Bluetooth. The multimedia dock and car dock do not provide computer USB type connection capabilities, and NO video capabilites, as the HDMI connection is abscent. Instead they will charge the phone AND provide connectivity for analog audio out and that is it. The webtop hack is just a way of activating HDMIfeatures that are normally only triggered in the HD dock or lapdock.
Yes... I knew all of that... just too lazy to type that...
so... that doesn't really lead us anywhere?
I don't think you can use the vehicle dock cable with the phone directly unless someone reverse engineers the car dock.

anyone know if the s2 hardware is possible of audio output from the micro usb side? what i want is to be able to plug it in from the usb charge port from the phone to connect to my car aux and have it charging/playing music at the same time.

Yes, The microUSB port at the bottom is used for both data connections and charging. Not only does it support USB host but it also comes with MHL enabling HDTV-out connectivity with the proper adapter.
MHL is a way of using both microUSB and HDMI through the same port. The downside is you need an adapter to use a regular HDMI cable with this one.

I've tried it several times in my car with my radio that has a usb and aux port. It will not play without the special dock attachment in the usb port but I have no way of knowing if a usb to aux cable would work because I do not have one to try.
I will be constructing and selling around 10 of these cables (Micro USB to audio out+charging). Please email me or PM me on [email protected] if interested.

I made one following the instructions on one of the threads, and although it is detected as a docking cable and the system claims to route the audio through it (the steering wheel logo appears in the status bar and I get a message "car audio dock detected"), it still plays through the internal speaker. I'm having the problem with Cyanogenmod 9 and now 10. I never tried with the stock ROM, I'm assuming it works...
I plan to fit a desktop cradle in my car and I'd like to wire the Xperia audio output to my car stereo. Is it possible to use the micro-usb connector for both power and audio output? I've found a few threads on the Samsung forum showing how to do this on a Galaxy. Is the wiring the same on the Xperia and would I need to use the resistor trick to get the audio via the micro-usb connector? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321491
AFAIK if your car stereo reads USB then plug in and mount sdcard that way you can view file on the stereo itself and it will be charging, if not then use AUX lead with micro USB

I'll also be interested in so... and wayne, is not the same, for example, I listened music via spotify, so I cannot listened to it if only connecting through usb mounted sd card...
Otherwise, anyone know how to enable dock mode or car mode connecting in the arc?
you'll need to use the headphone output. or bluetooth.
Unfortunately my car doesn't have a USB connection. I wanted to use the car stereo's aux audio input. So can any one confirm that the Xperia definitely can't output audio via the micro usb?
Is your car aux connection a USB? Or is it a 3.5mm connection like my car? If so you can get a 3.5mm male to male lead from Ebay

Yes it is 3.5mm but I don't want to use the 3.5mm socket. I want to be able to drop it into a desktop dock and connect both audio and power via the micro-usb. The dock will be sitting in a recessed part of the dash and there isn't room to drop the phone in to the dock with a 3.5 mm plug attached (even a right angled one).

Sorry confused, If you can't fit a 3.5mm plug, how can you find room to fit usb connector on phone which is on opposite right hand side to the 3.5mm connection?

you need one of these. CLICK
and one of these...CLICK
Then you can transmit via bluetooth to your 3.5mm aux input.

Thanks good find
I would really like to know if it is possible to get audio out from the Micro USB port. I want to use my GN2 in a car dock with audio out to my head unit RCA audio inputs.
I would rather dock with one connection via the micro usb port for charging and Audio out.
Using an NFC tag on the car dock to open Car Home Ultra when docked.
There is some sort of adapter/unit you can buy to do this. Iv have seen people post it, if I see the name of it I'll post on here.

Yes and I have to say the quality is amazing. You need an otg cable, just a couple of bucks on amazon or fleabay. It has a male mico on one end and a female usb on the other. You can then hook this up to any driverless headphone amp or usb dac of your choice. I have tested with an odac and a fiio e7 and both worked flawlessly.

So there is no analog audio out then?
I do have the OTG cable, so I suppose THIS would probably work:

That may be a possibility. I've also heard that iBolt is releasing a Note II Car dock that may support this feature. However it is not due out until the end of December.
If you just want analog out, then the headphone is as good as any. The http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003N0XDT4/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1353503718&sr=8-1&pi=SL75fiio. (hope the kink insert works... ) is cheap and will provide much better quality and level than the headphone jack. I. am not sure if the dac you linked to runs off usb or needs a separate supply. If you need rca jacks then its a male 3.5mm to male rca. There is a good quality pre amp that will give you 2v at least (close to standard car amp input) The one you linked to provides about 1.25v. I have not seen measurements of that dac so don't know how it compares to one in gn2.
The microusbs advantage (or limitation depending on your viewpoint) is that it gives you access to the pure digital signal which of course needs a dac. The dock linked to above and all others I've seen either reroute the headphone jack or provide a really terrible integrated dac which sounds much worse than the headphone jack.
I grabbed a two pack of some dongles to convert Type C to audio, they work for standard iPhone headphones, but not if I plug in an aux cord . The phone recognizes it as headphones attached but no sound every comes out.
Any idea how to fix/have you guys used any brands successfully with aux cords?
Same problem for me.
Any helps?
Thanks
Does the dongle have a built in dac? If not try unplugging the dongle, go to settings, enable otg storage, then plug in the dongle. I need to do that for my dongle
