[Q] i9505 micro USB vs 3,5mm jack output audio power. - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I have a question about maximum audio output power in micro USB and 3,5mm jack sockets. My problem is that I have large headphones with impedance of 80 ohms, max input power of 100mW which sounds really quiet when plugged to mini jack socket. I wonder if I plug them through micro USB to 3,5mm jack adapter, would they be a bit louder? I have heard that jack output power on s4 is about 4 mW which looks small compared to 100mW of maximum input power on the headphones.
Thanks, Greetings from Poland

Bump, anyone?

Okay I can now test it because I've already bought the micro usb to jack cable. The problem is I can't force the phone to play music through it. Anybody know how to do that? Photo is attached.

Usb to mini jack

Hi,
I just got an usb to mini jack cable but when i play audio it plays via the speaker and not the headphones.
is the cable not supported or do i need to change a setting somewhere
If i use the headphones that were with the phone they work.
But not my new usb to mini jack with my own headphones.
I also have a bleutooth unit but this uses mini-mini jack, and i twas supplied with a headphone inc Mic, the normal adapters for mini-mini jack to mini jack will enable the Mic all the time and can't play stereo, is there a solution for this?
I was already thinking about using tape or something
(the plug for headphones + mic is divided in 3 parts and a normal plug is divided in 2 parts)
thanks for any advise

Split Power and keep microphone/headset on jack/usb

I've got several splitters but the one thing I can't seem to find is this: split the Kaiser output between USB for power and to a female jack or usb that allows a microphone headset to be put inline. This is not the same as using a splitter that gives a 3.5mm jack with a built in microphone.
The reason is I need to power my Kaiser on the motorbike, while supplying a duplex for my helmet headset that has a microphone/earpiece built in supplied by a male jack. (I.e the male jack carries voice and sound).
thanks.

but you may need a extUSB -> 3.5mm jack or whatever type of headset you use
expansys have those 2
Ahh, that's great. You're right I will need a usb to female jack that keeps the mic/ear available.

audio out via micro USB?

Situation: 1) Micro USB car charger 2) 3.5 mm audio cable to car stereo (non-Bluetooth stereo)
Goal: Plug only a USB cable and receive charging AND audio from that single plug.
Is it even possible to get audio out via USB on the Treo Pro (similar to the HTC Snap)? I hate plugging in two wires each time I get into my car and pulling two out when I'm done. Idea:
Touch Pro >> Micro USB >> Micro USB Splitter >> 1) Cigarette lighter charger 2) USB to 3.5 mm Jack >> Stereo
Possible?
Well, The usb is Digital, and the audio-out is analog. You'd need an adapter to load files from your device and convert it to something readable to your stereo...
so you're saying that there is no way to get a usb to audio adapter (similar to the HTC Snap witch doesn't have a headphone jack)? does a device w/o a jack have a usb audio card?

[Q] HDMI + Sound output?

Hi Everyone,
I plugged my A7 through the HDMI port to my projector, it works with no issues whatsoever! But the sound jack doesn't work once the HDMI is plugged. Is there a way to force the sound to work even if HDMI is plugged in? Or even the speakers?
Thank you,
Marc
I have run into this issue with other devices, not the A7 yet though.
Once HDMI was connected the device only wanted to send audio over it and disabled all others.
My projector had RCA L/R out, but no internal speakers.
What I ended up having to do was get a RCA -> headphone jack adapter from Radio Shack and use regular PC speakers from that.
Probably not the solution you were looking for, but I hope it helps.
Possible solution
The option I'm looking at right now is an HDMI switch. It has 2 inputs for HDMI and outputs 4 HDMI and an RCA. I'm not really insterested in dishing out the 70$ for it though.

Micro USB to 3.5mm Audio?

Hi all,
I'm looking for a way to use my earphones with 3.5mm audio jack via the micro USB port. Ideally, without carrying around a bulky separate amp. I bought a small micro USB to 3.5mm jack cable but it doesn't do anything straight out the box.
I don't know if i just need some sort of software to get the cable I've already bought working, or if I need some other sort of hardware.
Reason for all of this - I managed to break my 3.5mm audio output (plugged it in to a cheap ebay car audio unit and have blown something). I have wireless earphones....but just don't like them as much as my original wired ones!!!!
Hopefully someone can help me out!!
Cheers
You will NEED external DAC and AMP.
Micro usb can only output digital signal.

You need a USB DAC. There a quite a few like FiiO Q1, AudioQuest Drangonfly, Oppo HA2-SE, Chord Mojo etc. Money is the limit
By itself micro USB does not transmit sound, it transmits a digital signal, you will need an additional USB DAC
Get a quality Bluetooth receiver. Here's a great one with apt-x low latency which is crucial for video.
