Based on posts above, I tried this combo, and it works for an ok total price. $17.98 plus $6.99 when I ordered them, and this is in the US. $24.97 total. Though the adapters are now showing $7.99.

Joncy Usb 3.1 Type-C To Hdtv Hdmi Adapter

Electop USB 3.0 Male to Type C Female Adapter (2 Pack)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B47V967/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

One thing to note is at first it was showing charging but didn't charge and the headset did not work. So I then tried to connect a USB thumb drive into the USB connector on the box and it didn't work. I also tied connecting to my computer into the USB connector through the adapter and it didn't work.

I then tried re-connecting the box to the phone for the 3rd or 4th time, and all was good. Sound works. Mic works. And it charges. Now it works every time I connect. So either I'm more consciously pushing the connector on, or there was maybe something that was keeping it from seating all the way originally.

Also, I lost the original Google adapter, so I have these as well. Two for $19.90, which is pretty comparable to Google with their shipping charge on small orders. They work, though I think the audio is not as good as with the OEM when using OEM earbuds that have come with prior phones.

As an update, Android Pie fixed this for me - the Moshi adapter finally works to charge my phone while simultaneously outputting music via the USB-C (which I then route to my car's aux in). Very pleased to finally have a solution (I never did apply the firmware update the Moshi people provided me, since I don't have access to any windows machines - it's running the original firmware I received it with).

I bought the Liootech adapter and it works awesomely! Rapid charging works and you can use the headphone jack at the same time! A great deal and a great solution for $25.

Glad to see these things finally showed up. Though Amazon search buries these combo adapters below incompatible audio adapters. I've been searching for months, and then more frequently after I lost the OEM adapter. So I bought the setup with the HDMI adapter.

There are other units that are down at $22 to $24 right now. But most have 1 review or even none at this point. Hopefully more people will buy and review them so the prices come down a few dollars and the good ones are identified.

Do ANY of these adaptors actually pass video out through HDMI? So far I haven't found a single answer to whether or not the p2xl can or can't do video out of the USB C like other phones. All of my past phones ( mostly Motorola ) had this capability. My wife's S8 will also. I've been searching for an answer to this since I got this device. Over a year. Any help or just a yes or no would be appreciated. TIA

Anybody???

Saw this on reddit.

"This is at least the 10th comment I've read today of someone claiming the USB-C port on the Pixel 2xl doesn't support HDMI out but it does as I just learned from watching this video! Apparently in addition to the USB-C to HDMI adapter you also need a USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter. https://youtu.be/ba_r1TkJrwU"

That YouTube video was for a 6p. And it was for watching videos ON the phone. My question is ,,, Will our 2xl phones do HDMI video OUT of the USB c ???. And if so ,, HOW??. Ive tried several USB c adaptors and apps and so far nothing has worked. Are you saying that you have got this to work on This phone? Please tell me your steps and what adaptors you used. TIA
