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.
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 got this Tanix TX5 Pro TV box a couple of days ago.
This box has regular Andoid 6.0.1 installed.
My former TV box had 5.1 installed and had a setting in the Speech & Input settings, where I could switch between USB and something else.
This setting allowed to use an USB sound card with plugged mic and I was able to get the sound out of HDMI.
Thi setting does not exist in my box, so I have troubles to get the mic working through the USB sound card...
I tried 2 different USB SC, both are not working. One of them have a blinking LED inside where you can see if the mic has been activated. The LED is alltime on, not blinking at all. In this case there is no voice recognition.
Any ideas outa there how to fix this settings menue?
Help is apreciated.
Thanks,
May be it´s not really necessary to have this menue...
...but how can I get my mic working on my box?
What I could figure out:
If I deactivate the switch "DisableUSB audio routing to USB audio peripherals" in developer options activate the mic, but I don´t get audio out of HDMI, it´s routed to the USB sound card.
The other way to switch on the setting, the mic doesn´t work, but I get audio over HDMI.
I have no clue how to fix this issue...
Can you view Developer Options? One of the toggles is "Prevent USB audio routing" and it is on by default. See if you can turn that off.
Hello,
My question is quite specific, but I am currently running RR 5.8.4 (20170914) and I noticed that OTG has never worked for me (although it works when in TWRP)
I never minded so forgot about it, but I recently got hold of the Hi-Fi Plus cheaply only (£35) and wanted to try it out. As it turns out, it doesn't work and I was wondering whether;
Is this a kernel issue - can I flash an appropriate kernel to get OTG (and hopefully Hi-Fi plus support)
Or, is this just due to the Rom - should I flash a stock rom (e.g fulmics?)
Thanks!
*I have edited the Title as some of the information has changed based on my research, see my replies below*
Just as a follow up to this - I just flashed Fulmics and it still doens't work. I wonder if they only work on completely stock Rom. I will flash back to stock and update accordingly.
I also will try out OTG to see if that works.
OTG on Fulmics also doesn't work (if anyone is interested).
I hope I am doing something wrong here because it would be great to get this going

Can confirm the Hi-Fi module works on Fulmics, both internally and as an OTG device. If you're using it via OTG, I recommend USB Audio Player PRO. Their custom USB device stack works a lot better than Android's default USB audio device support. Arguably works better than using the Hi-Fi module connected directly to the phone via LG's own apps.
-edited to add: If you're using the Hi-Fi module via OTG or even connected to a PC, make sure you have headphones plugged in. For some reason, the device shuts off entirely and is not recognised unless this is the case.

Thanks. I am surprised by this - I went right back to stock (20K) and it still doesn't work for me (even with headphones plugged in). I wonder if there is something I have missed - I have no OTG support on any of the ROMs I have tried (Fulmics, RR and Stock (20K)
I thought the process would be easier - I expected to be able to listen to Spotify with the DAC - is this the case?
I have taken my phone completely back to stock, (H85020g_00_VMC_GB_OP_0703) and plugged in the Hi-Fi plus and it still doesnt work:
The "Friends" app detects the the Hi-Fi Plus
the 32 Bit DAC settings item is greyed out
I plugged in two different types of headphones
I am now at a bit of a loss as I still don't understand why OTG doesn't seem to be working either (obviously related), so the wider question is, why?
I tested out OTG on TWRP and it works, and I tested the cable I purchased on a Huawei P9 and it also works so I dont think it is the cable.
For reference, the OTG cable I have is this:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Should I just return the phone and get a new one?

Does it play music through the Hi-Fi module at all when you plug in earphones? The stock ROM specific things (like the little Hi-Fi symbol in the notification bar) don't work with it attached as a USB device, it is just picked up as an Android USB audio device.
The cable might also be a factor (although yours looks like it should work); I've found the module to be picky with what will and won't work. Attempting to use the short USB C -> micro USB cable included with the Hi-Fi module (with a micro USB -> USB C OTG adapter, of course) for instance did not work for me.

Hi,
No it doesn't play music through the module, it just plays out of the speaker. If I put the headphones in the top of the phone, then it plays from there, but not from the bottom.
I think there is some issue with OTG, rather than the Hi-Fi module as it works fine when I plug it into a computer. I don't really know how I can diagnose it further. I have verified that OTG works in TWRP (and with other devices) so the cable seems fine. I'm not really sure how to proceed from there.
Thanks,
Charlie
The same thing happens to me in my g5 h860n. I have tried different firmware versions and the problem remains the same. Does anyone have an idea that I should try?
Hello! I have the same trouble. Lg G5 H850 GBR, V20v-EUR-XX, unlocked bootloader, root Magisk, stock ROM and kernel. HiFi plus recognized when direct plug into the phone (not tested with OTG-cable) , but, as was writed by Chalima, it doesn't play music through the module, it just plays out of the speaker. If I put the headphones in the top of the phone, then it plays from there, but not from the bottom. Does anybody know, this trouble of hardware, software, or a HiFi plus?
You probably checked this, but I say it anyway:
Developer options/media/USB audio routing ??
Don't disable this.....
Yes, I try with enable and disable this - not working. Also in prog Device Info HW in USB tab I see nothing.
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!
