Make usb to 3.5mm jack adapter

[cbaty]

I was wondering if i could grab a normal mini-usb to usb cable, cut the normal usb ending and sold the audio wires to a 3.5mm jack, so to use it with any audio device.
I just need to know wich of the wires inside the usb are the ones wich carry audio?
if i'm able to make it will make a tutorial although my english it's not that good
just so i don't have to break the original wire.
thanks

Here's the pin-out diagram

but you would noticed that the "miniUSB" socket on the Touch is actually a 2 in 1 device, a standard mini USB only have the bottom connection which deals with normal data traffic and charging, the top connectors carries the audio which the standard mini USB don't connect to (physically it can't).

But you can buy specially made adaptor to provide USB to audio sold on this site or elsewhere, such device make use of the more special connector to connect with the audio side.

I have 2 of such adaptor, they cost around USD15 a piece. Yes a bit more expensive than normal USB but they look neat

i'm from argentina so, i can't buy on ebay. The only adaptor here cost aprox U$S 35

that's expensive but it's my only choice

Just purchased my adapter from ebay and got it the other day... Works great. I have it connected to an FM transmitter so that all the audio (mp3's and gps audio) out to my car strereo.

Right after I purchased the unit I looked around and saw one with a built in microphone so I could have made it into a handsfree unit and have the audio go over the car stereo... DOH! I may do the upgrade in the next month. The adapter I got with shipping only cost 8 dollars.

I purchased a mini usb to rca cable advertised for use with the Moto Razr phones. I know that the car charger for those phones works for my HTC. Heck, I could even charge my phone from my PS3 mini usb cables meant for charging controllers.

I received the cable today and I can't get it to work with anything.

Initially I tried it with my car's aux input. No workey.

Tried it on my home stereo. No workey.

I guess my assumption of this cable working for me was wrong. The only way I can get audio out of my HTC is with the supplied headset. Does anyone know how to convert that to RCA instead of 3.5mm?

Thanks.

The regular mini usb cables don't carry audio from the HTC Touch. That's why the earphone's they give you have a different connector, it looks like a mini USB but it's not.
It's easy to take apat the HTC earbuds and splice them to a 3.5mm jack so you can use standard earbuds. I did it and it took less than 5 min. There is another thread about it here somewhere with a step by step and everything.

[ful babu]

i hav modified the original hands free, removed the earpieces and soldered a 3.5 mm socket into the call receive / volume adjust part. working fine so far ...

[Yetanothermoose]

I did the same, but I broke the mic while soldering
Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the elf handsfree so I can know what I am trying to fix?

There are two types, one is a usb connector and a short cable to a earphone socket, and one is all in one...

I can get them in the UK on ebay for around $5 - add the same again for postage, and I'll get one and mail it to you - Paypal me when you get it... if you want me to, let me know and I'll work out the exact costs.




Here's some links, like I said, find one you want, I can buy it here and ship it for you.

If I am not mistaken, you can do one better - not only you get USB to 3.5, it will include the handsfree clip-on controls (mic, answer button, volume etc), allowing you to use the earphones of your choice. Which was the absolute must for me, because my ears are too small for the regular plugs. :o Not only that, most earphones included in the box are average quality at best, none will beat Sennheiser anyway.
I got one like that for my LG Prada, because the buggers use proprietary connector, which sucks. Paid $4.50 USD with FREE delivery to New Zealand. Can't beat that, I think. Let me see if the same seller has one for Elf.

Yes, there are a few options - I personally don't like the handsfree adaptop becasue you end up with too many wires in your packet... I use mine with some sennheiser phones with short cable, to make it neater.
I do have a set of Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones which work great, but you do get the very occasional cut out, and you have to remember to keep them charged up....
I think the all-in-one-block adaptor is the neatest for keeping everything tidy and untangled.

Hi I have a htc RC E100 remote headset
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=179136
that i use to use with my Touch hd 2, but as i Now have a Htc HD2 I was wondering if I could snip the end off the usb and solder on a 3.5 mm headset Jack rather than a standard 3.5mm as i would like to use the phone mic & music controls as well as listen to music with my own fairly decent cx400 senheisser headphones. the HD2 comes with a wired headset with audio controls ff Rev play/pause but the headphones are not user changeable and are franky awfull so i though after reading this post that it might be possible with the right wiring diagram. I would be grateful for any help

Hi,

Is there any way that we can make this one. I'm having problem in looking for the adapter here in the Philippines.

Thanks,

I also saw one in a phone 'tiangge' earlier I asked how much it was and the sales lady said it was P50, I didn't buy one so I wasn't able to try it out if it was any good.

[Dreamtheater2003]

for 50php? where? That migth be for motorola and it don't on with HTC touch..

[tally114]

If you want a cheap, good quality, spare Mini-usb headset I would recommend this one (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.23182)

It looks like the original HTC-headset and has the same sound but cheaper(as it's cheaper material).

or if you want a mini-usb to 3.5mm audio jack you could buy this cheap one (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.35000) (it has quality, no fake/broken one) or this one (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34028) or if you want one from ebay, try this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2x-3-5mm-Headphone-Adaptor-HTC-Touch-Diamond-HD-TyTN-II-/170349973460?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item27a9a64fd4#ht_3293wt_1165) anyway these are examples, try to find a good one for yourself if you can't make the mini-usb to 3.5mm audio jack yourself.

This is no advertise lol:rolleyes: just for those who consider buying a cheap and with quality one.
