Is there a docking station I can connect my s7 edge to speakers.

[George Kimani]

Well i was making a docking station for a project at school and then i found that i cannot find a docking station online that has a audio output. It is vital that i complete the project and all i need is to be able to connect a docking station to a speaker so it can play music however i can not find it online. if there is anyone who can help me please let me know.

I have one of those and when I put my S7E into it a message pops up saying that moisture has been detected in the USB port and it won't work. There is no moisture - I can use the dock with other phones without a problem and I can use any other charger on the S7E without a problem. Strange.

Oops, thanks for pointing that out. That unit does seem to be available through eBay, though: Charging Dock Cradle Base w/ Audio Output for Samsung Galaxy S3 S4 S6 S7 S7 edge | eBay

Doesn't look like it is compatible. See this - I think it's the same one:

Do you need a docking station as opposed to just using an audio cable in the headphone jack and a regular charger?

 

[B. Diddy]

Are you hoping for a dock that won't require you to connect something to the phone's headphone jack? Because that's how it would have to work -- the audio output won't come through the USB port.

The edge does appear to support audio out through the USB port:

It just looks like nobody has a dock supporting it.

I stand corrected -- thanks for the info!

No problem. It would seem that there have been changes to Samsung's implementation over time. The Samsung dock I indicated above operates differently for our different phones (tested today):

Galaxy SIII - full charging and audio out work
Galaxy Note 4 - charges but audio out does not work
Galaxy S7 Edge - nothing works and I get the moisture-in-USB warning

I have the same dock and it worked for the S3, S6 and Note 4 but only did audio for the S3. It doesn't work at all for the S7 so I've purchased a wireless charging stand instead.
