11:02 <mcampbellsmith> HI All, I have a question about dock audio in 4.2.2/CM10.1 and the best way to implement a solution for audio out via usb aux ...in audioservice.java, android assumes that a cardock is connected via bluetooth and forces the audio to use BT ... this is the problem as I see it, if audio is actually meant to go out via usb

11:03 <mcampbellsmith> for audio out via usb, android thinks this is a Low end desk dock ...

11:04 <mcampbellsmith> so my question is: From a solution perspective, is the best solution to change the way the kernel identifies the dock or to change the AOSP implementation to not force audio to use BT for car docks?

11:20 <mcampbellsmith> codeworkx: thanks.. your dock has DGTL out ... the logs I'm getting are ANLG out

11:20 <codeworkx> it's the original samsung dock

11:22 <mcampbellsmith> ahha.. ok. Good to know. No wonder it works okay then! The one I'm looking at is iBolt I think

11:43 <mcampbellsmith> codeworkx: so I need an expert opinion. If the dock identifies itself as being an ANLG dock, currently android forces audio out through bluetooth in AudioService.java. This means the ANLG device is not chosen in AudioPolicyManagerBase.cpp as the if statement if ((device2 == AUDIO_DEVICE_NONE) && (mForceUse[AudioSystem::FOR_DOCK] == AudioSystem::FORCE_ANALOG_DOCK)) is never TRUE. I have a number of options where to
