I'm using a LeTV x900 (or Le Max), which sports the Snapdragon 810 as well as USB Type C.
I'm using a USB-C to HDMI MHL adapter (made specifically for this brand of phone) to output audio to my yamaha receiver, as I want to listen to DTS tracks on my home stereo. The receiver sees the HDMI signal from my phone. I use MX Player, which plays the DTS tracks fine (I have the one with DTS support and the right codecs installed), which plays the files just fine. Yet for some reason the receiver is only receiving a stereo signal, so its only giving me 2.0 sound, not see any more than 2 channels in the first place. I'd like to at least play 5.1 (if not 7.1) files. I can't for the life of me figure out what step I'm missing. I even went so far as to install Dolby Atmos on android but that was a no go too. Any ideas?

I have a monitor with HDMI input but it doesn't have a internal speaker.
I want to get sound via my analog external speaker.
What can i do for this?
Thanks.
If your monitor doesn't have an analog audio output, AFAIK it's not possible to get an audio signal from Atrix's audio connector.
A good option may be a bluetooth AD2P stereo audio connection (the audio would out through bluetooth not HDMI) but you would need something which supports it.
Sry for my crappy english.
There are some adapter boxes and switches which do this, I know some Xbox users who needed a similar thing but it wasn't that interesting to me at the time, so I can only say look it up in xbox forums, sorry.
headphone out would be cheap and easy, but and extra thing to plug in.
Just plugged my external speaker to 3.5" audio output and it works.
I did not think at all thats so easy
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to route the audio to a Bluetooth device when the HDMI cable/connector is plugged in, as opposed to the audio going to whatever is plugged in at the end of the HDMI cable.
TIA
OH MY GOD
NO ONE REPLIED???
I really need this.. IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!!
I need to make it so that the headphone jack on the dock will still work when the hdmi is connected.

Just got my HDMI connector and I want to play the video through it, but the audio through my Bluetooth speakers. It does not seem to allow me to do this. Even though I connect the Bluetooth speakers, all audio comes through the tinny speakers on my monitor.
Has anyone managed to get Bluetooth audio working when connected with the HDMI adaptor?
In the app, SoundAbout, I can use HDMI video with audio output to the Phone speaker and headphones. The only problem is when connecting HDMI, the phone seems to disable the Bluetooth adapter.
I am guessing this is done so that the audio will go through HDMI. They don't ever expect you to use HDMI video with Bluetooth A2DP audio.
I am also trying to do the same. The only solution that I came up with was to route the TV's audio output to a Bluetooth transmitter which will send the audio to the Bluetooth speakers. I haven't yet tried that solution to comment on the audio quality or its sync with the movie.
you can check out the transmitter at amazon, search: "TaoTronics Wireless Portable Bluetooth Stereo Music Transmitter"
Is there any X2 ROM out there Android 3.0 or higher with working HDMI (BOTH video AND audio) ??
I did a search, and it seems all the CM10/CM9 variants do HDMI video, but no audio (which I need).
I don't care about working data, just need wi-fi.
Thanks!!
i have the same issue as you, i tried sotmax but it doesn't work
i think it could be kernel related...
you can still get audio out of the 3.5, and any monitor/TV that actually has decent speakers has an external audio input for one of the HDMI ports anyway.
if you absolutely MUST have audio over the HDMI connection and ICS/JB, just get one of these http://www.cypeurope.com/Audience/AU-11CA-HDMI-Audio-Embedder-with-built-in-Repeater.html and a 3.5mm to stereo RCA cable. done and done.
I’ve been looking a various solutions to stream music to a Hi-Fi such as Squeeze Box and Sonos, and am wondering if I could use my trusty old SGSI i9000 to stream from a NAS or other DLNA enabled device? I believe to Wolfson DAC is quite good for a phone, so I could connect the phone to the amp with a phono lead, but I also wonder if I could attached an external DAC via a USB adaptor to improve the sound output. I know this can be done on the S3 and some tablets, but not sure of the situation with other phones. I am ok with routing and custom ROM’s if that helps. Please note I do not want to play music stored on the phone, as my library is already 200gb and rising, but use it as a conduit to get the music from storage to the Hi-Fi

Hi,
You could try ArkMC app on Google play , it's streaming video by DLNA , it's well done
Regards
Hi Brya, thanks for making this your first post! The ArkMC app looks good. There are many DLNA streaming apps and this looks like one of the better ones.
My situation though is that if my Hi-Fi isn’t a DLNA device and only has phono input, can the phone stream a file from a NAS etc, play the file on the phone and output it through the headphone or micro USB socket to an amp. I think now that I’ve typed this out that the answer to this is yes.
So next question, how good is the audio quality going to be from such as set up? I think this depends on the DAC in the phone, which is quite good for a phone but probably not great compared to £300-£500 mini system. I’d welcome feedback on this.
Then the question is, can I connect an external DAC via the micro USB port?
For info, I haven’t actually got a Hi-Fi at the moment. I’m weighing up buying a mini system that includes a network streamer against more expensive and better sounding separates that do not (though they may have a USB input) and seeing if this would be a viable option for playing digital music.
Greetings
I'm struggling with one thing on my new lovely device:
I can't get my Ultra to play FM radio through HDMI. Here's the details
- I've tried to root and use Spirit2 player and Soundabout manipulation app.
- My TV is not MHL compatible, could this have effect?
TuneIn and other sources work, but I can not use volume control with these. It's on mute or on full volume and nothing between. Is this also because my TV doesn't support MHL?
Edit:
Ok so apparently Spirit2 app can use FM radio without headset -> Now FM radio will play through MHL / HDMI. But if I plug in the headset I've got no way to get the audio through HDMI. Or I don't know solution for it, does anyone?
- Headset is pretty important because the reception is bad without it.
SOLUTION FOUND:
Just snap off the head of the 3.5 jack so that only thickest ground part takes contact. Now the phone won't recognize headset and I'm able to put audio through MHL/HDMI with .spirit2 FM tuner app. From .spirit2 option you have to unmark all the voice output options and then MHL/HDMI feed will be enabled.
