Mini-USB to 3.5mm Adapter

[Yankees368]

I have from my old phone a Mini-USB to 3.5mm adapter. When I plug it into the mogul, it dosent do anything. All the sounds still come through over the speaker. Is there any way to tell the phone to route the sound over the USB device at all?

What do you have plugged into the other end of the adapter?

It appears that HTC uses a non-standard configuration for its audio output. See the thread titled "Stereo" in this topic for more discussion:

BTW, I tried something similar - I have a USB-end stereo headset from Motorola. It won't work at all with the Mogul. The one supplied with the Mogul works fine. Same connector, but obviously not the same connections inside.

I think that is exactly what I have. It is a motorola mini-USB to 3.5mm connecter. There has got to be a way to route the audio this way.

It shouldn't be a problem to route the audio that way, you just need a different adapter. I'm told that this one works, but I haven't tried it yet (mine should be here in a few days):

Yeah, thats the thing. I don't want any more adapters. I already have so many, I just want this one to work if possible.

The Semsons adapter works wonderfully. It sits flush with the bottom of the Mogul. I use it with my FM transmitter whenever I have a long car trip.

Dishe is right that there is no particular standard for USB-connected headphones. So there is no right or wrong answer at that end.

There is a standard, though, for stereo on a TRS connector. The Semsons adapter gets it right - it matches the HTC-style USB connection with a properly wired TRS jack. Of course, that's 3.5mm only. If you want to connect a normal set of headphones using a 2.5mm plug, you're apparently out of luck.

if you want the 2.5mm connection, htc offered an adapter that came with the mogul including the earphones.

i was looking into this for the past couple of days, the motorola headset offered wont work, regardless if you have the adapter that comes with the mogul. the tip has to be used throught a 2.5mm or 3.5mm depending on the adapter youre using.

just my two cents, im still looking for a way where no adapter is needed

And with that, we've come full circle. <g> This whole discussion started, a few days ago in a different thread, with the discovery that the HTC adapter only connected the right audio channel.
