Does the shield TV remote work with the nexus player?
I was curious as well. Particularly if the 3.5mm jack will provide audio if paired to the Nexus Player.
Bump just in case. I've very curious if the headphone jack works with the Nexus Player and, if so, what version is everyone using (5.1.1 or 6 Preview)
No one has tried the Nvidia shield remote with the Nexus Player yet? If anyone has one please try it out! Dying to know if the 3.5mm jack works or not for audio.
I'm picking up the nexus player tomorrow for my bedroom and will try as soon as I get home. I already have the shield and remote. Hope it works as it is a lot better quality of remote.

Just to inform everyone, the shield remote works great! Audio works as well, BUT I cannot get the volume control to work at all. Voice control still works as well!

Ah yea. That sucks. Because the shield TV has the ability to adjust volume. I am guessing that means that on the NP you are listening to audio at full volume when using headphones.

So, to confirm, audio works but you cannot adjust the volume through headphones??
I went ahead and purchased an Nvidia Shield Remote to test. Folks, don't bother. The device pairs fine and buttons work as normal. Issue is when headphones are plugged in the volume is at max. Volume buttons on the remote do nothing.
One more thing, Netflix behaves just like as if you're using bluetooth headphones. Which means, not working. Upon starting a title you'll either get the 25% or 99% hang.
I can't get voice search to work with the shield remote and the nexus player. Anyone else have this problem?
Correct me if i'm wrong but, doesn't he default OS for the NP not have volume control? I'm using an AOSP version of the NP and it has volume control that i can use with my media remote. Would it work in this case?
Voice Control?

As the other thread is set as [solved], I made a new one, as it is not solved for me...
To check what happens I got me the left/right test track from binkster.net
And it definitely puts all audio on the left channel, the left channel data a lot quieter than the right channel data, but everything together onto the left front channel.
I guess the receivers show 5.1 because the hdmi data is indeed a 5.1 channel format, just without any sound on most of its channels. And I believe the reason it works on some TVs, is that they just detect a mono signal and put it on all speakers, or they only have one speaker in the first place.
As the audio and hdmi HW is inside the Tegra 3 SoC and the same test file plays fine on the same hdmi setup with my Tegra 2 LG P990 phone with microHDMI out, I doubt this is a hardware problem, but that Asus somehow uses the mixed up mono signal from its own single speaker as output over hdmi as well...
But maybe I am wrong, is there anyone who actually gets this left/right test to play "left" on the left speaker and "right" on the right speaker ?
I marked my thread as "solved" because I found (notes in the thread) that the prime and cable "work". But they don't "work correctly" for all connected displays. Some didn't work at all, some didn't have correct audio (as you have). Some worked perfectly. Maybe "solved" is not correct. "Understood" would be better.
My TV doesn't have correct audio either, but at least I know where the problem is. And I could buy a new TV if I had the $$.
I have opened a case with ASUS and hope to get some more info from them later this week after the holidays are well behind us.
I suggest you open a case with ASUS as well to motivate them.
Good luck.
Is there a way to look into the audio configuration? Is it alsa? Maybe they mix channels to mono there?
I poked around with various market apps and couldnt find any info.
I haven't had time to look thru the kernel code. Hopefully ASUS will post an update.
NOTE: the audio is fine with some devices. So it doesn't appear (as I first wondered) that its a mixer problem.

I opened a case already, but I think it will not really help Asus much, actually more the opposite and confuses them rather, as I mixed up right with left in my report to them
Can you download the left/right test file from binkster.net by any chance and test it on those TVs where you thought it worked and listen closely if the two words actually come from the correct speakers or just from the middle of the TV ?
In the audio track, the word "left" is spoken only on the left speaker and the word "right" on the right speaker
Thanks !

Today's update fixed my audio problems. I hadn't previously checked with my Samsung c8000 3d led TV, but I was having left channel and center only audio from my Onkyo tx-nr 809 avr. Now I'm hearing audio from all channels both from my receiver and TV.

Yes, I just wanted to make sure the TVs did not "intelligently" spread out the mono signal onto both speakers, which could be verified by the test file.

peare,
Does the Onkyo controller app from the market work on the prime?
I am on 8.3.3.33 now and STILL got the mono sound problem.
I connect my TF Prime with my Onkyo TX-NR509 receiver, which is quite state of the art. Besides, I am using a very professional HDMI cable with 1.4 standard.
Sound is only playing on the left and the center channel.
Anybody heard something from ASUS regarding this issue?

Not for me. Audio was working perfectly until I installed ICS now I don't get ANY sound over HDMI.
Has the output type changed or something? Perhaps my amp's settings need to be changed after the ICS update. There isn't a problem with the cable as the same file played ok from my computer using the same HDMI cable and input. A small chance the micro adapter is broken I suppose, but can't really test that as have no other input sources.
Hi all,
Does the HTC One X+ allow HDMI video out?
I can only find info on the other X models, but none specify the X+?
If anyone has done this, can you share the product that allows it? I would like it for not only photos/videos but ideally also for apps.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
I bought a $5 MHL cord off ebay and it works fine with my phone. Just look on ebay for MHL cord and you will find it easily.
Does this also work for applications like Plex and Netflix?

Hi. Yes, that one works great. No setup, just plugged it in and it immediately replicated my phones screen on my TV. No setup. Just plug and play.
I was just about to order one of those but then I wondered about an adapter that outputs to RCA plugs for older TVs. Can anyone recommend one?

I've never tested audio yet (i connect it to a pc monitor without sound), but when I connect I've no audio on my speaker so i assume that the audio is passed to the hdmi instead of the speaker.
I will test it as soon as I've access to a screen with audio. Will also test dolby pass trough, but that would probably require some advanced players that support it.
Would be great!

Ok I've tested it now.
Audio works, but only stereo. The only app that i found that did support some audio output options was xbmc and that app said that it could not find any pass-trough device so could not enable that.
The only question that remains if it support multi-channel audio over hdmi (lpcm), unfortunately I cannot check this one as I do not have a receiver with hdmi input (only toslink)
I hope this answer was helpful for you.

Lol, I plan on messing with some co-workers during production meetings next week with TV in our conference room.
Love being able to use the S4 for channel surfing too as it is much faster than my slow direct tv box.
I caved and bought the "Smart remote for Galaxy S4" but haven't played with it too much yet. Seems to have alot of function available. Gonna mess with it more this weekend.
Maybe it's my tv, but do you have to point the blaster directly at the TV in order to get it to work?
I love the IR feature. But I found the range and angle to be very lacking. The IR beam seems like its only like 25° degrees... So you have to be right on with your aim. It's a little annoying I wish they would have used a better lens for the IR emitter.

I got all my TVs working decent enough, though ones that have HD converter boxes don't get a guide button. There's a menu button but that only brings up useless options, not the guide itself. If it's a TV with just the digital converter box there's a guide button that works fine, haven't quite figured out how to fix that yet.

Hold down the Volume rocker (on the screen, not on the phone) and a separate pop up will come up. I have an audio unit also that separately controls my sound. It'll bring up a thing to insert it. Strange that they would put it there, and not in the settings but...whatever it works... ya know?

I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones (Sony MDR-10RBT), and I was watching the west wing on VLC yesterday when I noticed that the sound coming from my headphones was out of sync with the video.
When I plugged in my wired headphones, this issue disappeared?
Is this an issue anyone else is seeing? Any ideas how I can fix it?

I've connected it via OTG and it got recognised but yeah no sound came out of it :crying:. So I connected a passive USB Hub to the OTG cable. I can't say why but connected to the hub the K1 worked fine.
This isn't a great solution for me, has someone got the K1 working without a USB hub? Which USB DAC's are working for you?

for the DAC.. I think the K1 would be enough if you're listening from a laptop. But if you don't really mind carrying extra DAC-AMP for portable uses, the Q1 will serve you well.

Strangest thing is that E10K works well with N6, while the even smaller K1 does not. My E17 (not 17K) used to be working very well too!
AQ Dragonfly is nice! but it's bit expensive

Is the K1 working on any phones? I think it is a driver/kerner problem, not a power supply one...

I have a Best Buy near me but it seems like they only sell name brands rather than HiFi brands.

Before you go buy a dac or amp you might want to do some research from head fi.
The dac on the nexus is aight but it pushes little power for a portable device.

Thinking about getting the Q1. Would you recommend it to me? I have never even used a DAC before but I'm starting to become a bit of an audiophile after discovering ViPER...

USB HUB

Sooo, i bought the small but powerful K1 yesterday but I couldn't figure out how the K1 will work with my Nexus 6. I've connected it via OTG and it got recognised but yeah no sound came out of it :crying:. So I connected a passive USB Hub to the OTG cable. I can't say why but connected to the hub the K1 worked fine.
This isn't a great solution for me, has someone got the K1 working without a USB hub? Which USB DAC's are working for you?

Did you use a direct micro USB hub or a normal USB hub connected via a micro USB to USB cable? Also is the USB hub USB 2.0 or 3.0?
