I wondered if i can connect(via USB) my Hero to PC and use it as a microphone.
I saw an application in market called Microphone and i need to connect my phones audio jack to pc via aux(male to male) plug and it should work, but this app is a little bit laggy, so i want to know if i can do the same thing using usb cable.
Maybe someone can help.
Is there any way to record stereo audio from an external source?
I want to use my phone like the line-in port of my laptop. At the moment i've managed to plug a 4 pin 3.5mm jack to 3xRCA, but this provide 2 mono-out and a mono-in (the phone recognize this as a stereo headset with built in microphone).
I wonder if is possible to obtain a stereo line in, maybe using an adaptor on the usb port.
Tnx!
any idea? or just know if it is possible or not.
Hello to all,
From what i've read, host mode USB is enabled only in 3.1 and up, but i'm wondering if anyone has had some form of success in getting digital audio out to a DAC via USB on phone or multimedia dock, or the HDMI?
Thanks
Is it possible to use the micro USB audio connector for audio? After rooting, the audio application of the android does not recognize the mp3 files to play. Why not let it do so?
I think that would require USB host mode like on the Samsung galaxy. I think that means needing extra hardware doesn't it? -otherwise I would expect every phone to be capable of it
edit: It is possible but you can fry stuff. Info on NookColor forum
USB host = great possible enhancement?
I wanted to post to proper thread, however I am new here I was not allowed to post on developers forum. So I hope that this post will still somehow find its way there. It also includes your original question.
Since some USB features are now claimed to be working, I wanted to ask directly poping out questions:

Is it possible to...
1.) disable on-screen keyboard while using USB one?
2.) connect USB soundcard like: http://www.usbgear.com/computer_cable_details.cfm?sku=USBG-X2X&cats=121&catid=121%2C136%2C134
To allow listening mp3, Skype calls.... ?
3.) connect USB Ethernet card like: http://www.usbgear.com/205528.html
4.) to connect other cool usb stuff like: GSM, printers ... whatever
thanks you developer guys, I hope I'll once manage some time to learn more about the system and developement so that I could contribute too !
thanks to androind and nook simple touch creators!

Currently the answer to all of the above is no
The USB host mode patch was done for a specific project (USB keyboard support) and while I have been spending some time playing around with Bluetooth I'm not aware of any other dev(s) working on expanding this atm.
Stuff like audio, networking and Bluetooth requires _a_lot_ more than just the kernel accepting to communicate with the device.
thats shame. allowed skype calls would be great
Skype calls are working on my nook with OTG + USB audio card on usb host mode. But it is a bit difficult ))).
To update these older posts:
Yes, it is possible to disable the soft keyboard when using a USB keyboard.
See NullKbd in the signature.
Yes, Skype works fine.

Where is the difficulty?
Do a logcat and look for overruns and errors.
There were a few mods done to make Skype work.
so an external usb sound card is working?
Yes, an external USB audio adapter can work.
As a portable solution it's a bit cumbersome.
I don't know what current they usually draw, but my cheapy one draws 75 mA.
A desktop solution with powered hub (charging the Nook), a USB adapter and speakers works fine.
Would USB headphones work directly on that port? I have USB OTG cable and some USB sound card somewhere so I can check with regular 3.5mm jack headphones without trouble when I find some time to do it but I just wonder if anyone tried USB headphones on it and what they think of it. Is it worth of a hassle to buy one for NST?
Some USB devices use a multiplexor on the USB micro connector and can send actual analog audio down the connector.
Many Androids support USB host mode and can support an audio USB adapter, including the ones that go for < $10.
The NST (earlier Nooks with OMAP processors) don't have complete software support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glows (later Nooks with IMX processor) don't have complete software or hardware support for USB host mode but can be coerced into working.
The Glow4 (7.8") has audio.
I'm part way through completing an Audio/Charging cable for my car and was wondering if there was a way to force audio out via the USB instead of relying on the phone checking for the required voltage to put it into dock mode.
Reason being I want to troubleshoot my setup and be sure that the phone is trying to output audio via the USB port, my USB flex is faulty (I think) so I'm not sure if the sound isn't working because the ROM doesn't support audio out, if the cable I made doesn't work, the phone es faulty etc, if I can force audio over the dock then I know the problem is with the phone.
I've tried a few car mode apps but I don't know if they activate the audio out via USB mode or not.
I'm running Supernexus M1 (4.2) as my ROM if that matters.
Thanks,
Auzeras
