Is there anyway to output audio through the usb port and into a set of ear buds? Like a micro usb to headphone jack adapter? I hate having the audio jack on top and would love to use the bottom usb port instead.

I dont know of a actual stand alone adapter for this, but, if you get a samsung car dock, infuse dock for example, the bottom piece should route the audio.
That piece of the dock plugs into the usb port and that piece has both 3.5mm aux and the usb so you still can charge. I havent tried, but a usb extension cable should allow it to still work without having to plug the bulky adapter directly into the phone.
Thats the only option ive found so far.
I would like to see this more often...Apple has so many great docks where you can charge your device while outputting audio. I wish Android had more support for this.

I'm interested in carrying around one pair of headphones for my PDA and laptop. I don't think any cable exists but I could probably make one up. I would need a 3.5 audio plug connected to a mini extUSB female socket - do they exist? The closest thing I can find is a extUSB 3-in-1 Adaptor:

but it's a bit big.
Is there a way, without have the home or car dock from Samsung, to get the audio to come out via the USB port?
I have tried both Car Home and Desk Home apps (also both the ones that came pre-installed on Bionix V and the Version 2 ones from the market) and I see no setting to enable audio through the USB port. Is there some "trigger" that gets fired when plugged into a Samsung dock that enables the USB audio port?

Sorry for the cross-post but check out Post 63 and Post 64 in the Captivate Audio out through USB (car dock) thread.
I don't think it has been validated, pretty much just speculation at the moment.
Well, that is not exactly what I am talking about.
My car reciever has a USB plug that I can hook up the phone with.
I can charge my phone but I cannot get it to play any of the music on my phone. My reciever states that there are no tracks.
A little more complex would be to have actual audio routed through the USB port like if I had the official sammy docks. I do not have a dock.
I suspected that we could just flip a bit here or there to get audio out through the USB (not just use the phone as USB storage for the mp3 files).

I have been looking for a way to plug my phone into the USB of my car deck and no luck!
I hope there's a way...

I will be using my GT 7.7 allot in the car and likely in the landscape orientation. This puts the 30pin connector and cable sticking straight out the side.
Is there any 90 degree ("L" shaped) 30pin connectors available? (similar to a "L" shaped SATA connectors -see picture-)
If there is, this would point the cable towards the dashboard and and make the cable routing less messy looking.
I searched but didn't come up with anything.
Note: I know I could use the Samsung OEM car dock (which, I think, has the power cable connector in the back/bottom) but was looking for a lower cost option.
Thank
Any luck with finding one of these cables?

Have you had a look at my cheap solution for car a car dock and cable management yet?
I know this was posted awhile ago, but if you or anyone else is interested, the original samsung galaxy tab HDMI dock uses the same connector and works w/ the 7.7 (I know because i have a couple). You can get these on amazon for $15 right now. I believe this is the same dock for all the tabs and they just change the plastic piece that holds your tablet to accomodate the model (i have the original galaxy tab, the 7 Plus, and the 7.7 and they ALL work).
If you take it apart, the tablet connector looks exactly like what you are looking for - an L shaped 30-pin. The profile when plugged in is very thin and looks less like when you have the actual car charger cable plugged directly into the tablet.
I've attached a picture of what the cable end looks like. The nice thing is if you keep all the electronics intact, there is an area in the back that the car charger cable connects to pass power to this cable as well as a 3.5 jack for your auxiliary audio connector. Once you lop off the plastic tablet holder part, you have a bare ribbon cable that you can cover in black electrical tape and you just have to mount the pod onto the back of a hard tablet mount and plug your power and auxiliary audio cable into it.
Dear rEVOLVE
i liked your idea the most and i already ordered the dock, but i have a question, my ordered dock has HDMI output as well, so can i do some electronic modification Like this DIY USB OTG cable to connect USB hub to it in the same time as well, so finally i got i charging 30pin port, auxiliary 3.5 audio port, HDMI port, and USB port???
thank you

Does anyone have any experience with a MHL adapter that will charge your phone and also provide analog audio? I would like to make my own car dock with one.
The "iKross MHL micro-USB to VGA Display and Stereo Audio Adapter" on amazon is pretty much what I need, but am unsure if it will work with the EVO LTE.
It's really unfortunate Sprint/HTC opted to get rid of the charging/audio pins on the back of the ONE X when designing the EVO.
you can still use the 3.5mm headphone jack as an audio out even with the MHL streaming out via HDMI. It tried it with my headset and my monitor. Works great

I've been looking for a similar solution. I'd wager that the adapter you mentioned is compatible. MHL is a standard and I'd very be surprised if the GNexus (as listed on the product page) worked, but the EvoLTE didn't.
I have an aux jack and charging port in my glove box, and for years I've just been using both USB and audio cables which dangle out of the box. I don't think I need a car dock (my car already has GPS), but just having one less cable (like those old iPod car adapters which split out analog audio) will be quite nice.
If you're nervous about buying it, I expect I'll pull the trigger on this in the next week or so, and I can report back.
I'd like to find a black or gray version, though. White cables are garish.
Exactly. I never bother with my phone because of all the wires being a hassle. Just looking for a more elegant/convenient solution I can just set my phone in. Might try to hack the MHL adapter and HTC car dock together, though I wish the car dock wasn't so unnecessarily bulky.
Just picked up the belkin Bluetooth today and hooked it to RCA inputs. Got an app that connects Bluetooth when the power cable is connected and turns it of when its not.works great So far. So now I'm down to just power cable .

Or a generic micro-usb to 3.5mm adapter with a micro-usb Y?

Thanks!
has anyone tried this yet? I'd be interested in its compatibility with the car dock as well as how the quality is. With the car dock and the headphone jack I'm getting lots of feedback and static.
I've order the iKross MHL adapter and the parts necessary to assemble the custom cable. I will report back if the iKross adapter works. If it does work, I may not assemble the custom cable. If the iKross adapter does not work, I will assemble the custom cable and post results.
The iKross MHL adapter came in today, and it does work on the Evo 4G LTE. However, the sound is so terrible that I cannot recommend it to anyone for this application, and I will be sending the adapter back. It seems to only pass low frequencies to the 3.5mm jack, so much of the audio signal is lost. The audio is very low quality compared to the built-in 3.5mm jack. I will be trying the custom cable now, once I get all of the parts I need.

I will try it later today.
But what i do know is that normal usb cables don't work on the dock itself, so the inside of the cable is different.
You will hear from me tomorrow!
crunchie-uk: It works!
USB audio via this cable does NOT work for me without the dock. When the cable is plugged directly into the phone, it just plays through the speaker still. I am guessing the special circuitry in the dock that triggers the phone to go into vehicle mode also triggers it to output usb audio.
