Considering the issue with Bluetooth audio headsets while streaming audio/video, has anyone tried hooking up a bluetooth USB dongle to their prime? I'm wondering if android would natively support that type of device hook up. I don't own the dock or USB attachment to test it out.
I was just wondering the same thing.
I have tried it.
I tried 2 Bluetooth dongles and none of them worked. The dongle light comes on, blinks but there is no way on the prime to use it.
You would need to code an android compatible driver.
Is this difficult? Seems like a nice idea for people who are having trouble for example watching Netflix with bluetooth headphones.

So just wondering about getting digital audio out from the Gtablet. Is this possible? I have the Squeezebox Player and Squeezebox Commander applications on my tablet and while the sound is OK I was wondering about feeding that audio signal to my home receiver's DAC. Is there a working USB solution? How about taking a HDMI approach and using this monoprice adapter http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10110&cs_id=1011002&p_id=5557&seq=1&format=2 to send the digital signal from the HDMI to my receiver? Anyone have any experience/suggestions?
bumping this. i would like to know also.
Why can't you just connect your HDMI cable directly to your receiver? Is it because you don't have that type of connection on your receiver?
I have tried to get Squeeze Player to work on my TNT-Lite tablet. Everything seems to work except for changing the volume has problems. If you do have this working, can you tell me which image you are using?

I am currently using VEGAn-Tab Ginger Edition. And yes my music receiver/amplifier doesn't have HDMI inputs (in fact it only has either one coax or optical input). I did purchase the HDMI to optical switch but I haven't tried it with the unit stereo set up yet (maybe this weekend ???) as my Logitech Duet is currently plugged into the optical input.
SqueezePlayer coupled with SqueezeCommander are working great for me and I can even control it directly with the Duet remote or PC on my network. As they phase out this device I am going to monitor the pricing and eventually purchase another set as I have another receiver located in the "media room" (basement) that I might occassionally want the ease of the logitech device ... although now that their google tv is allegedly dropping to $99 perhaps that takes a backseat as I have a PC hooked up to that system and I can use that for music.
Currently running cm7. Did some searches, so my NT has WiFi but no Bluetooth, no power to USB so no micro USB dongle.
Stereo bluetooth dongle possible but bulky and requires separate charging.
WiFi speakers possible but can't find any.
Use app to controll another android using WiFi but requires second device.
I would love to be able to use the nt as wireless audio player.
Any ideas anyone?
You might check out the MediaHouse UPnP/DLNA app in the Play Store. Is this the capability you're looking for?
interesting but not exactly
My plan was to use the NT as a remote control for the livivg room audio. Where the audio is stored is not a problem (SD card or network is fine). The simple solution would be some Bluetooth speakers and play using the NT doing most of the work however no Bluetooth on NT makes this hard. I have cats who like chewing cables so stereo HiFi inst great, a rechargeable WiFi speaker would be awesome but all wireless speakers seem to be Bluetooth
I might look into the dongle idea, not USB but 3.5mm audio to Bluetooth dongle, its bulky but probably simplest.

Did you look at app I sugested? There are DLNA WiFi speakers -- do an Internet search for " dlna speakers wireless" to see many options.
Hi all,
I have the Note 2, it is not rooted and full stock. I purchased the Allshare Dongle and I did update the dongle firmware. I can get video over HDMI but no audio using media player or spotify. I tried 2 different HDMI cables. I tried going direct to TV and bypassing the HDMI receiver to which the TV is connected. I tried going to Accessory Settings and trying both Stereo and Surround.
Seems like this should be obvious but its not. I get audio from phone until I turn on allshare cast, and then I get no audio from the phone (as it should be because HDMI is then active) - but there is no HDMI audio.
I searched the Net but can't seem to find others with the problem. Thoughts?
Hi.
I have an Android TV Box with an old Bluetooth version that does not allow me to pair two gamepads at the same time. The question is if I could update the Bluetooth of the TV Box with a USB Bluetooth dongle version 4.0 and thus make it compatible with the gamepads without having to change the entire TV Box.
Does anyone has experience with USB Bluetooth dongle and an Android device that already has Bluetooth capabilities? It will be recognized and work?
Thank you in advance.
Nobody?
Well, I was trying to use OTG on this tablet, keyboard and mouse works great connecting via USB with a Type-C adapter.
But when connecting a Logitech controller it receives power (I can turn mode on/off and the light goes on/off) but the tablet doesn't recognize, for example when I go to the Stadia app nothing appears as connected, but on my OnePlus phones works fine.
I was searching and it may be a problems with permissions, is a root really necessary and is it even worth it? What do you think?
Hi Jota, did you ever figure out the Logitech and also does this model have otg video out to HDMI cable? Trying to confirm that feature before I buy it. many thanks!
