[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vernicex:
to put it in layman's term, what audio chip does the Atrix have :D

I'm curious this too, hoping for an answer :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxlord:
I don't know but it's clearly sub-par, as audited by audio-gd compass and D2000 ... And you can't change it so it kind of irrelevant.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metk@:
Mayby also someone know is it possible to have

direct

digital stream from Atrix (bypassing DAC)?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
With HDMI out, obviously, but I was also hoping for digital out over usb, like in the car's usb port. I doubt these car controllers know what to do with that connection, unless you can put it into mass storage mode and treat it like a flash drive.

Doesn't audio output over Bluetooth bypass the DAC?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metk@:
I even didin't think about this... can someone confirm/deny? I'm not much into BT standard.

BUT I'd like have digital audio stream on cable connection - preferably USB pins - to connect this to external DAC (sth like OSNPA said)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OSNPA:
So I traced this out, seems like it has been dead in the water since nVidia bought portalplayer in 2007. Kicking around on the rockbox wiki, I found this android port:

http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AndroidPort

I read through forums, searched, and looks like an apk for qHD needs to be developed yet. Would like to be wrong. Anyone have info on this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IDrinkV8:
I hate to dig up an old thread, but this is kinda what I was hoping for. I'm in the process of building a "portable" device that would have a Digital port interface, feeding professional DAC and HiFi headphone amplifier. Never actually tried to connect a phone to a receiver with HDMI connector, but it should work, bypassing phone's DAC and feeding digital PCM signal to external device.

As far as BlueTooth connection goes (for the last poster), then if you are looking for good quality, looks somewhere else. Bluetooth compresses the sound on the fly before sending it to the paired device. For some it might be unnoticable, but to me it is unbearable.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tasteslikechicken:
According to http://www.head-fi.org/t/549644/motorola-atrix-sound-quality, it is a Wolfson 8903 L. From what I have read, everything points to the Atrix and the Tegra 2 using a Wolfson DAC. Don't forget that the amp and preamp are just as important to sound quality. Supposedly, ICS may support USB DACs.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpr0:
Wrong,

Just contacted ('PCWAR'), he said he is unsure, he saw such info on xda forums.

WM8903L is made for Harmony Tegra 2, or tablet Tegra 2.

All Tegra 2 Ventanna uses WM8994 DAC

Yay, we've got the highest end DAC, par with the S3 and Note 2 except bit higher stereo crosstalk.

Is there a TV out function on the Dinc2? Phonearena states that it has TV out function (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/HTC-Droid-Incredible-2_id5173), yet I don't see the TV out cable online. Does the Dinc2 do full mirroring to a TV via the micro usb, like the Dinc1 did?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
I just emailed HTC. I will see what they say.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Use the same cable? I have that cable running through my car dash so I can listen to (and watch) Pandora on my Alpine touch screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
So the incredible2 can be output to a tv then?

Sent from my fascinate
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
I was asking too. I can verify 100% tomorrow
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
Ok. Thank you.

Htc emailed me back with this: "The HTC Incredible 2 supports a feature called Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL). You can find out more about this technology here: http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link. At this time, HTC does not manufacture the appropriate cable to support this; however, the option is available."

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
No way. Seriously? My Inc 2 supports mhl?

I just almost did a backflip.

This makes my phone worth 3 times as much personally.

Off to buy a cable/adapter haha
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] SoCalSpecialist:
Its like a hidden feature or something...its not listed on the box nor in the manual.

Ill give this a try in just a few
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
I don't think there are any mhl cables out in stores yet. I don't think it works with inc1 tv out cable.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
There are MHL microUSB to HDMI cables in existence for other devices. I've started searching for one. Supposedly there's one available for Samsung Galaxy S devices that I might try to procure.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
How pricey are these cables? I'd try one out we're not sure on if it's not horribly expensive.

Same here, if anyone gets the cable, would they be kind enough to tell us if it works or not? I'm just really looking forward to using emulators on my TV :)

OG Inc cable does not even fit in the INC2 port. No worky
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
We aren't talking about the og inc cables, we are talking about the new mhl cables that are used in such devices as the galaxy s2 and evo 3d. The inc2 has the mhl tech just no cable as of now.

Hey guys - Just wanted to let you know that I ordered one of these:

http://www.expansys-usa.com/expansys-mhl-to-hdmi-adapter-black-218572/

It should arrive in about 2 weeks so I will be sure to let you all know if/how it works out as soon as I get it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knucklesmckay:
Thanks! It would be awesome if the Dinc2 could do full TV mirroring. Hope it works.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I will definitely keep an eye on this. Good for you finding a cheaper adapter :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
Do you not remember our convo the first few posts of the thread? I said I'd check functionality and i did test. It doesn't work. Has no bearing on the rest of the topics everyone discussed
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Yes you are right. Sorry about. I forgot you were going to check the original inc cable out. My bad.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 06stang:
NP. Bummer it doesn't work. I'll be watching this thread for a working one
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Yea me too. The dinc2 is number 1 on my list for devices right now. Looks like an all around great phone.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Who is likely to produce a working cable for the DInc2? The reason I ask is I want to know who to bug :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Please read this thread before you post in it. We have already discussed that question in full.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I appreciate your efforts to keep the thread clean, but I see only references to cables that don't work or are unproven to work. I have not seen anyone discussing an official cable put out by HTC or Verizon expressly for/ cerified to use with the DInc2.

Did I miss something? Or maybe I should have been more specific with my question...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
On page one you will find this post:

Which is in fact a post about "an official cable put out by HTC." From there you can see that HTC has expressed that it does not produce a cable and that if you want one you must just simply buy a standard MHL cable.

Then we found where to buy one on page two and at the end of the page I posted that I ordered one and will be testing and posting my results in the upcoming weeks.

Hopefully that answers your question.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Thanks for the clarification. I am new to this concept and misunderstood "the option is available" to mean one may be made in the future but one specifically functional for this phone is not yet available. I thought we needed one "certified" for use with the DInc2.

I look forward to hearing the results of your test.

Assuming someone finds an MHL cable, what options will be used in the phone to toggle/enable the mirroring . . I haven't found anything in settings or on the connect with PC tab . . or maybe a new tab will appear when connected to an active HDMI input?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Anyone able to confirm a working cable? And if so, how does it work? Are you happy with the performance?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tjdouble07:
I have the MHL cable (for my Sensation) and will have a co-worker of mine test it out on the Incredible 2. I'll report back with the results.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] daftlush:

I am thinking about just buying the one for $20 from www.expansys-usa.com

Can anyone verify that that site is safe? It doesn't look like they accept paypal.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I've been tempted to do the same. A few people have come here stating their intention to test and return with results and nothing has happened :(

I'll look into this next week though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I was going to, but Expansys had a July 20th shipping date. Was figuring someone would have reported in by now. Don't know if they still do though.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
If after I return from my trip next week no one has returned with results, I'll take the dive. Of course this means that I wouldn't be able to report anything for at least a couple weeks :S
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I am not sure if anyone has any reviews of expansys, but I have not been reading good reviews from what I have gathered from the web. I am going to try to find a cable somewhere else.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Just a heads up. I read somewhere that the Samsung adapters will not work.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
I just called my local best buy and they said they had one. I'm going to go down there in about an hour and see. Will update.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 420fan:
They are idiots and don't know a thing. Tried selling me a micro hdmi adapter
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Yea I figured this would happen. I asked bestbuy this past weekend and they didn't even know what mhl was. I went to TMobile and they said to order it online from Europe, they didn't have any there. Radioshack told me they knew what it was but didn't know if they get it. Sprint and Verizon didn't know what mhl was either.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blackb13:
MHL = no go

I finally joined XDA to let you know that the cable from T-mobile doesn't work for the DINC 2. Sorry guys...

Aww darn it. Thanks for the info though. Hopefully there is a cable soon. I hope the HTC rep got their facts correct when they sent me that original email.

Did you make sure to plug in the charger? Also I have read the order in which you plug in and turn on the tv and such is very important. I guess they're a bit finicky
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
Hey guys. A few posts back I posted that I was ordering the MHL cable from Expansys. I came home today to find it at my door. I tried it on my brother's bone stock dinc 2 and it doesn't work. I believe I read somewhere that the OTA adds the menu and options for MHL. I am going to do some more research and try to figure out what needs to be done to get this working. I'll post back when I figure something out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:
Sorry to hear about that man. It's unfortunate that none of these cables work.

Sent from my Locked Down Droid Incredible 2 :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I loaded up RMK's 3.02.605.1 ROM and it didn't have any such options. So since there doesn't appear to be any option in the software to enable TV-out, I don't think we can say with any certainty whether any of these MHL adapter cables work or not.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
I am inclined to think that there is no such support for our phone. This makes me sad. Until someone here can confirm a working cable, it is all but official in my book.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I just don't know why HTC would tell me it has mhl though. I am starting to think it has to be a cable that is specific to device and/or a future software update to enable it.

Does anyone know if any mhl enabled devices like the HTC sensation have a tv out option in the devices settings?

sent from my inc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
+1

I had asked HTC a question about what each of the connections were on the back cover and their response was "...we cannot be 100% sure"

REALLY?!

They made the thing. But they don't know how?

I am not impressed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Yea I guess you are right. Customer support is not reliable sometimes.

sent from my inc2
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tdavis42:
I know its been said before but not sure if the right people saw it. You have to have the power cable connected to the MHL in order for it to work. SO the phone, HDMI, and power all need to be connected for it to actually work. Hope this solves the problem.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Thank you. Do you know if MHL is plug and play? or does the phone need some sort of software utility to enable it?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
Did some research, and with the Sensation anyway, it's just plug-n-play, the display auto mirrors the phone
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
How reliable do you guys think this link is? It list the Inc2 in support devices.

http://www.cellularaccessory.com/73h00394-00m.html
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I think that if it's compatible with the Sensation, EVO3D, and Inc2, then the one T-Mobile sells should work as well (which it appears not to currently). But that could just be a software thing
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Finally, something listed as DInc2 compatible!

It's a step in the right direction.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tdavis42:
Its an official HTC device so I would say 99% sure it will work. Also check HTCPedia http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-media-link-dlna-tv-adapter.html Although its dlna you can do some of the same stuff.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I emailed cellularaccessory and asked them if they could guarantee it worked, since the Sensation one didn't, and what the return policy was.

I like the idea of dnl, but I don't think that dnl adapter mirrors the screens desktop and web browser, in addition to stored media.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmaaddict78:
I emailed HTC customer support and here is what I got back,

Dear EDITED,

I understand the importance of being able to use an MHL cable with your HTC Incredible 2. The Incredible 2 does not support MHL capabilities. I hope we have answered your questions in detail.

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number EDITED.

So it would seem that the Inc2 does not support MHL. I am kinda disappointed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
On page 1 of this thread it was claimed HTC said it was supported. It'd be nice if we could get one of these people sending out conflicting information to escalate the question for confirmation :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I am going to try to email HTC again and see what they say a third time
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] pinakaeus:
On many of the spec sheets for the Incredible 2, they listed MHL, maybe it was a planned feature?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It's possible the MHL hardware is there, but no software support.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
So now we have a follow up phone that has less features than the original...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Here is the email that CellularAccessory.com sent back to me

"To be blunt, No we do not guarantee this to work.

This is an HTC product and the specs for this product were obtained from HTC customer service and support. They have stated the HTC Evo 3D, Incredible 2, and Sensation all use this MHL adapter.

If you have questions on compatibility please contact HTC directly at 866-449-8358 with your questions.

We give the best information that is given to us from the Manufacturers."

...Still waiting on more word from HTC
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Ok as you know I emailed HTC again. This is what they told me

"Dear Steve,

I understand that you are inquiring about the Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2, and whether it supports MHL mirroring. I can see how this feature would be important, and I would be glad to provide you with information.

The Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 2 does support MHL mirroring to use for output on a TV. At this time, HTC does not manufacture the cable needed to utilize this feature, however, we are working to release one in the future. I do not have any information regarding when this will be released at this time.

Until then, I can suggest using the cable that is sold by T-Mobile for the HTC Sensation. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee this cable will work properly since it was not made specifically for the HTC Incredible 2. This cable will also need an external power source.

Please keep watch on our website at: www.htc.com/us for future information that may be posted. I do apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Sincerely,

Stephanie"
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmaaddict78:
I hope this customer support agent knows more than the one that emailed me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I hope so too. I wonder if the people that have tried cables here had an external power source hooked up to the mhl converter.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I tried the T-mobile/Sensation MHL adapter, using an AC charger as well as USB for power, and no dice. Test with RMK's GingerSense and CM7 roms
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tdavis42:
Thats why it didn't work. You need to be running a stock unmodified rom in order for this feature to work. These modded roms do not have the required software to work with the MHL. It is going to be specifically built into the Sense that runs on the Incredible2. Hope this helps.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
That's what I was thinking. I am going to buy the mhl adapter for Sensation from Amazon and see if it works. I am running stock unrooted. Does anyone know if a standard hdmi cable plugs into the mhl adapter?

Here is the one I ordered. Hopefully it works http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005E5MPBS/ref=ox_ya_os_product
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmaaddict78:
Gingersense is based on the stock ROM so wouldn't it have the software for it to work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
I am not sure myself. It looks like RMK debloated it and removed some services from the official OTA. So he may have removed the mhl service. If the cable doesn't work I am sending it right back to Amazon.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmaaddict78:
Any idea when you will be receiving your cable from Amazon?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
Amazon said between Aug 9th-12th. So I will let you guys know next week when it comes in if it works.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
Thanks for taking point on this stelv... We are waiting on you it looks like. Very much appreciated!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] :
No problem. Glad to help. It would be great if it worked, since I cancelled my time warner cable a while back lol.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tdavis42:
"Based on" That tells me that things were removed and things were added. Once things are removed stock features tend to not work because these dev's like to remove anything that's not key to the phones operation. From what I have seen MHL is not a widely known feature of this phone and was probably either disabled by removing an app or removed entirely by him.

Example: TV out on Incredible won't work with any rom besides a stock rom that has certain apps still installed. Then you get to the point of was the time worth it to remove two apps just to keep the phone fully functioning.

BTW I have an Incredible TV out cable if someone wants to buy it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I'll load up the stock 2.3.3 and see if that makes a difference and report back in a bit
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tdavis42:
Here is a link to a HTCPedia, a website I have ordered many accessories from and always had quick and reliable shipping. I also asked them to try it out before I buy it because they don't have it listed as working on the Inc2 yet.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] romma1:
I wonder if the MHL line somehow powers the phone so you have enough juice for whatever?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mmaaddict78:
It probably has an amp in it to boost the signal for output to a TV. I imagine that's what the power cord is for.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tdavis42:
I know the Samsung one powers the phone so you can make it through a movie without recharging. It says so right on their website. I am sure both of you are right in some respects.
