No Sound out Using Car Dock?

[aaronv89]

I did a quick search and didn't see this posted anywhere. I recently purchased the Motorola car dock from amazon. It comes with the splitting charger cable and audio out port. The phone charges perfectly but the audio out doesn't seem to work. I plugged it into the auxiliary port of my car but the sound still goes out from the speaker of my phone? Is there an option that I need to set or is it because I'm using CM7? I might try Aura later and see if I have the same problem I just wanted to see if anyone else was having this issue also...

It's CM7. Car dock audio out is built into the Blur framework as far as I understand it.

Ah that's what I thought. Damn...I don't wanna lose CM7 but at the same time I really would like audio out supported...decision decisions.

It's on the official bug list for the beta and the devs have accepted it. Meaning they are working to get it resolved. It's only a matter of time and considering how quickly they got this up and running it shouldn't take too long.

Where can I see the bugs that are currently being worked on and the ones that are resolved?

CM7 has dock audio setting if you drill down in the menus. Maybe the USB/audio out cable controller is proprietary because CM7 doesn't detect when it's put in or taken out of the dock. It's like the phone just thinks it's a regular power cable.

I just got my car dock today, so this bug came as an unpleasant surprise, but I'm very happy to have the camera working now, so I'll stick it out with the devs and hopefully this will be fixed in three revs or less too

Lol. My official atrix Car dock didn't detect on stock, even after I factory reset .

Oh, well. At least it charges.

It will work on Aura because it's based on the OEM Blur ROM. It'll be the same with Alien and any other pre CM7 ROMS, even the "Deblurred" versions because they just clear out certain apk's and not the base framework.

And CM7 will recognize the dock and start Car Dock automatically, it just does not have the audio out capability. Also some people are saying it only does a trickle charge not a rapid charge. I haven't tested that out yet but you may want to watch it.

I just flashed beta, and it does not detect dock at all. When I plug in the phone it behaves exactly as though I plugged in a regular power cord. I did a factory reset and cleared the cash, I even tried flashing a different kernel... Am I missing something?

Only thing I can think of is to make sure you are using the cable that came with the car dock and not another charging/sync cable. I double checked mine just this morning and Car Home starts when I place it in the dock.
