Hi All,

I'm using sabresd board  with imx6 Android7.1.2 platform. I'm trying play some audio with command, I'm able to hear on headset and HDMI is not connected on this time. If i connect HDMI i'm not able hear on headset jack.

I think audio routing to HDMI interface.

I want audio output always on Headset jack. How can resolve this issue??

Regards,

Aravinth

Hi,

i found the solution for this, we can choose the output in our android source code.

In default, android will route audio into HDMI, to choose route into speaker:

AudioManager  audioManager = (AudioManager) this.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);

audioManager .setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION);

audioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(true);

To choose route to HDMI again, set mode to normal:

audioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL);

Hi Aravinth,

this code does not implement in AOSP, you have to write it in your own android application.

OR you can write one android service run in background, it listens HDMI plugged and then set route audio to speaker automatically.

Hello Nguyen,

Is there any way to integrate these changes to the default Android source code, so that audio output is only on headphone irrespective of a HDMI connected to the board neither writing an app nor a background service. If there is a way for implementing this, kindly let me know!!

Hi Deexith,

In Android 7, i can overlay audio_policy_configuration to change the default audio route path from speaker -> headphone.

Please try to change 'defaultOutputDevice' in file: audio_policy_configurations.xml

Hello @Nguyen,

My first approach was same as ur'z!!  Since default wm8524-codec configuration file din't have a digital aux support, audio was not routing to headphone. I solved this by adding a digital aux support in wm8524-codec configuration file inside alsa.

Hi Deexith,

In Android HAL you can do the modification, to set audio output as headphone all the time.

Hi Deexith,

Audio path selection will happen on below code.

You can choose the output with alsamixer.

Have a great day,
