Great thanks! Would that be on the stock phone or would have to be rooted? Thanks again.

All the Samsung flagship have the usb audio out STOCK. you just need an usb on the go cable to use yhat feature with external dac/amp

Excellent, thank you. What I wanted to hear. I find it funny how Samsung didn't know that

Well I'm pretty set on getting the S5 over the Z2 (which I know has usb audio out) so that's why that was what I wanted to hear. I also e-mailed Samsung asking pretty much the same as the op and the reply was basically "we don't know". I thought that someone would know the answer here

My answers was based on experience, all the flagship from S3 has the usb audio out. There is no reason not to include usb audio out as long as s5 has usb on the go capabilities. If you are not sure about that maybe you should wait a review but to me is 100%. I already preordeed S5 to use it with Fiio E17 external DAC/AMP. Take note that S5 has the same usb connector like Note3 but note 3 is backwards compatible with standard usb 2.0 on the go cables. And I used my fiio with note 3 without problems.

Just in case anybody was wondering. S5 USB Audio out works .. Hooray !
I haven't extensively tested how much better the audio sounds with USB vs directly from headphone.
My setup
S5 >> USB OTG Cable >> USB Cable to my hippo cricri Amp >> Headphones out.
In case you were wondering, s3 and s4 LTE+ didn't support that. The Note 3 did.

otg usb?

Question for those lucky few who already have this device. Does the note have otg usb like the gs2 and also is there a hdmi out?
Sent from my Google Nexus S using Tapatalk
the otg and MHL adaptor for GS2 is working well for Galaxy Note
there is no hdmi out, but it should work with an MHL USB - HDMI cable! Unfortunately I don't own one to test...

How do people use otg normally?
usb mouse/keyboard maybe?
If my camera memory card gets full, and I can offload pictures via usb cable. Does that work?

Ah, no, no they are not.
The S3 and Note 2 used an 11-pin MHL adapter, when all other phones use 5-pin MHL adapters. 5-pin ones don't work in the S3/Note 2, and the 11-pin ones don't work in anything else.
I expect the S4 will take the same 11-pin adapter that the S3/Note 2 use - HDBlog have a YouTube video showing the Samsung Gamepad being demo'd with an S4 in a Smart Dock which requires the 11-pin connection.
I have both kinds of connectors, so I will check once I get hands-on if no one else has by then.
No source...I have the At&t S4 and the mhl from my S3. It works and will even work w/o the external power to the mhl adapter

I also wonder if it will work with the multimedia dock for note 2 / sgs III as I might get one but feels it's too pricey if it's not future proof.

As I mentioned above HDBlog have a video showing an S4 in the Smart Dock to demo the Samsung Gamepad. As soon as I get hands-on I will test with my Smart Dock.
You can also use an 11 to 5 adapter. Works fine on my Note2.

Have you gotten your hands on an S4 yet? The information is scarce but on some sites the multimedia dock is now listed as compatible for S4 / SIII / Note 2

I'll have my S4 on Saturday NZ time.
Samsung themselves now have it on their accessories list as compatible.
It works but mine won't charge the phone unless I'm using the 2A charger that came with the S4. It will work with out external power as well.

Adapter Issue
Guys – I have been using a MHL to HDMI adapter on my Note 2 for several months and it is terrific, but with the S4, the phone indicates HDMI Cable Connected, but the TV indicates “connecting” then drops out and will display “no signal”. Any thoughts?
Follow-Up - I connected the same MHL connector and S4 to my Samsung 50" and it works....the LG 60" (which worked with the Note 2 and same connecter / cable) will not work with the S4. Suggestions?
I'm so excited to not have to use the plug in power port all of the time. I understand that it won't charge but still exciting
5 pin to 11 Pin question
I have the Samsung S II MHL adapter. If I purchase the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter do you think the S2 MHL adapter paired with the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter combo will work on my S4? I would assume it would since others confirmed the S3 MHL adapter works. All I know for sure is S4 uses the new "MHL 2.0 Standard" . Any info is helpful. ThX! :good:

USB DAC support?

The auxiliary ports on all phones are crap, does the Nexus 4 support exerting music through USB? If not, is there a kernel that has the capability of enabled that function? Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Probably yes, but you would need a Y cable splitter for the USB power. In the end you'd get a really bulky setup. Not worth it IMHO.

That is called USB audio out. The Nexus 7 supports OTG of of the box, but even then it cannot support USB audio out.

So the chances of it working on a Nexus 4 is slim.

If you are using an MHL adaptor that works with an S2, it won't work as the pin outs are different.

S3 mhl cable can only produces 1080/30p, go for S4 cable which is 1080/60p.

Incorrect, as the poster above mentions. S3 cable will be limited to MHL 1.0 spec output as given, S4 cable does MHL 2.0 spec output as given in the above post.

Rooting the phone breaks screen mirroring. Not sure if it applies to MHL adapters but it does apply to miracast

Then it might have been S2 to S3. But i know at some point i posted about this and they had told me the interface of MHL was upgraded to 2.0 and the new phone would not work with older mhl adapters

I bought the S4 MHL adapter to use with the S5, since is MHL 2.0 60HZ and the S3 one is MHL 1.0 30HZ.
But i want someone else to test if they got MHL TV-Out rooted, so i know if it is safe to root

What MHL adaptor are you using, is it an original S3 or S4 one or another brand one?
Also, are you running an stock or custom ROM?
I think mines the s2 Samsung one. So its probably out of date. I never tried it with my s3 and didn't own a s4. I'm rooted stock, im gonna buy an up to date mhl cable anyways n check that.

Are 3 types of adapters mhl 1.1 (-2012 galaxy s2) - 1.2 (2012- galaxy s3) - 2.0 (2013- galaxy s4)*
- 1.1 adapter will not work s4 s5 but 1.2 (additional power supply needed) and 2.0 (no additional power supply needed) should work
