Audio over HDMI

[hezzdown]

Does anyone know if there is a way to just play audio over HDMI? I have found very little info on this on the web. I would like to use my Power Amp app to play music over the mini HDMI port. From what I have read the only way to trigger the HDMI port is via the Gallery. Is this true? If so is there a way around it?

Update - Well it appears I found my answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715004&highlight=HDMI

Motorola really knows how to burn my @$$!! A company who makes such great hardware places all their efforts into locking down the devices and inhibiting the true potential. Rock on Moto!!

Anybody out here actually use this HDMI from their phones? I'm curious. If you do, what is it and how are you using the HDMI from the Droid X?

Thanks Wildman, I found that app as well but not quite what I was looking for. I wanted to be able to launch my Power Amp app and pipe the audio over HDMI. Not gonna happen with the X tho :'(

That's nice, anything for the Droid X? I think that's what this thread was aimed at.

^^ Is there a difference with some phones HDMI connection?

If so, I haven't found a video, or thread on your phone.

It appears that Motorola's HDMI is locked to the library only. If that's the same for the EVO then i guess there's no difference. Thanks for the links!

This is why I suggest Real HDMI (The app isnt perfect but once you get use to using it, its a nice app), with RealHDMi it will show everything on your device on the TV.... Check out YouTube - Real HDMI Android App in Action on the DROID X
