+1, This would be great if I could use my Fiio E17 on note!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
I can build a kernel with that for you.. I guess. if nothing fails to build.

I'm using a custom kernel that I've had built for myself. Its basicly a Speedmod kernel with some modules (USB ethernet).

Do you have any chip in mind? I can make a CWM package to you.

It will be a Speedmod kernel with the modules.

Remember that Its not a kernel module thay you Want. I don't know if Android will recognize it and play out thru it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
Thanks a lot:), saves me setting up a dev environment. I'm still struggling to get a stable laptop and I really don't wanna start doing critical stuff with it (fingers crossed, no hard video hangs with ubuntu 12.04!)

Try compiling for the cheapo c-media chipsets. They are only £1.50 and one is in the post. Think the driver is called cs4281 or something similar and are used in loads of crappy speakers/headphones.

I have read reports that these are recognised under dmesg on the S3.

If this is successful, they I might buy a better USB DAC.

I wonder if the yamaha chip can be persuaded to output spdif over usb. This would enable a wider (and cheaper!) range of DAC's to be used. There is support for ie958 under alsa in android........just a thought.

EDIT: hold off till I get the usb sound device. Some of them are using newer chipsets. I will plug it in to a linux machine and let you know what it is.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reconchrist:
I would really benefit being able to plug my YETI microphone into my note for journalism. I remember vaguely looking at it a while ago where people were saying that you need to edit a file (to fake drivers or something) but in the end they were waiting on Google to release audio USB drivers.

I'm only a noob so take what I say with a pinch of salt.:):)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
+1

I would love to be able to plug a USB mic into the Note for audio recording.

I don't know if it will solve the latency problems that Android has, but the better audio quality would be good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
I currently have a logitech usb mic to test with also but I have to stress, this testing is just intitial driver support. There probably won't be any programs that will be able to select inputs for recording. I may be able to write a script to select an alternative input device but we are still quite far from this goal.

Glad to see things gaining traction. Hopefully google and samsung are already far ahead and will release something soon.

I would like to see the S3 sources though!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
I've been looking through the S3 kernel source. Under /drivers/usb/gadget/ there a various drivers and headers called f_audio.c, u_audio.c, u_audio.h.

Also the Kconfig file details on how to implement these drivers into the kernel. It seems to me that if these can be compiled sucessfully for the Note kernel, it should just be a matter of changing alsa config files to at least initially get audio input/output support for usb audio devices.

Can't wait to have a go!

Someone else will have to write an app to do the device selection in a nice way. That side of things is beyond me.

Downloading the Note kernel source to compare.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
Do you know if android uses any sound manager?

My worst fear is that we can't play sound thru it.

Getting a USB device to be recognized by the kernel is easy. All I need to do is to build a kernel with that extra module.

Load the module and boom. Kernel should recognize it.

How about Android sets his output to that new device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] slinbin:
:p That's the kind of cake I wanna eat.....

Have your music in one place listen to lowQ when thats enough and highQ when you want that (with a extra box on the side, but the music and control stays in the Note).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
I feel like if android natively supported exterior USB audio better. The app potential would be huge for audio out apps and simple 2-8 track recording apps among other things

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dynamano:
Always looking to improve sound quality. Thanks for thinking outside the box. Hope it all works out in our favour. Suck it iphones xD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
Whilst I don't like Apple products at all, audio is the one area that an Android user just hangs his head in shame when someone with iOS shows them what they can do on their iphone or ipad.

I'm hoping Android gets a low latency solution soon, but even then, it will be a long way till Android if close to being on par with iOS for audio apps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
Looking at config files suggests that alsa does the managing of audio hardware. It should be fairly easy to use Alsa to switch devices used for audio input and output but understanding correct syntax is a challenge because Alsa changes so much. There is a lot of old stuff in the config files that pre dates android. Changing Alsa config files to select devices and then restarting sound server or a restart of phone should be enough to get things going. Once we have that working someone else can figure out how to add external devices to mixers. There is plenty of code from Linux apps to help. Things are definitely moving for in android for audio support.

Also Linux desktop has had realtime kernel for audio support for many years.

EDIT:

Seems some good folks are ahead of me. Supercurio has a handy zip of alsa-utils-binaries.tar.gz which is just what we need to get going once a kernel is compiled with correct drivers. S3 already is, can't wait for someone to backport, should make life easier.

Anyway, see Supercurio's post here

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7625710&postcount=300

Think I must ask for his advice, hopefully we can persuade him to get onboard as he seems to know ALSA and android very well.

The ALSA utils can do all sorts of things, from crontrolling devices, mixing and playing. ALSA is not the complete picture, Android using its own internal mixing software, but ALSA is underneath, if you like, and can do much much more. Its how Supercurio does all his volume tweaks. I'm still testing, hope that ALSA utils will work straight off on the NOTE. I am using Criskelo V5.1, with CF kernel, so not far from stock.

EDIT:

Seems that thread is out of date. I found this Alsamixer app instead, which installs alsa (dont know where yet!).

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.alsamixer
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
If you get the Alsamixer app working, let me know.

I tried to install it and got the attached errors.

I emailed the developer but he just replied with

"May be your ROM doesn't support ALSA.. I don't know.."

He didn't seem interested in trying to get it working.

I'm on stock LPF with root (and I can write files to /system/)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
Got my cheapo c-media USB DAC today. Plugged it in and its recognised as a usb audio device. Messed around with the ALSA mixer settings but no output from headphone port yet. I have yet to check the Note ICS kernel sources but its would seem that the device driver is already compiled into the kernel. Perhaps some other people out there could report what happens in dmesg when you plug in other USB DAC audio devices?

It seems CyangenMod are doing work on audio as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mdrjr:
Are you using Note's Audio output or the card audio output?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
It looks to me that you just need to press OK from there. However, I managed to install Alsamixer and it does work. I'm on criskelo v5.1 with CF kernel. Its pretty much stock based on LQ2. Have you checked Super user and busybox for updates?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:

There is new LQ3 out.I'll give CM9 ago and see what they are doing.....

Its a no go so far, device or device driver is not loaded.

I have emailed a few experts, hopefully we'll get a reply..........

I used the command (as root, so su first)

alsa_aplay -l (which lists sound devices )

And only the onboard yahama chip was listed.

Can you go ahead and compile a kernel with support for cs8738/8768?

I'm also wondering if we need the ac97 codec support compiled? More reading I think.....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aludolf:
Kudos for you guys... i´ve been looking for usb audio solution for our "beasts" without success. Hope you guys manage to accomplish this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
Thanks, its only a small grasp, I can taste it lol

They have experimental Usb audio support over in SII. I gather that its pretty much the same as the Note. We'll get there I'm sure.

Do you have any usb audio devices????

Could be useful for testing. I don't have any £££ for anything right now.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
So, the Galaxy SII has experimental USB audio DAC support. Its Gingerbread though. Bugger.

See here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288850

Source code can be found here

https://bitbucket.org/paulobrien/android_kernel_galaxynexus/src/bc4f9b72a51d/sound/usb/card.c

If on linux, git is easy to install. sudo apt-get install git or sudo zypper in git

I wish someone could tell us which bits of that source we need to compile the driver into the Note kernel. EDIT: Might be a no go as its gingerbread kernel.

Back to looking at S3 kernel source then?

EDIT:

More reading suggests we just need usb audio.c compiled into kernel or as a module. in kernel would be better.

Once we get this, device should show up under /dev/snd

Then just a bit of code in alsa.conf and that should be it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Aludolf:
yeah got a Fiios E17 DAC/AMP, avaiable for testing. my pleasure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
Cool, I think this one works on the S3. Are you OK with flashing kernels in CWM?

It should be low risk as we're only adding a very small part. It will be a stock rooted stock ICS kernel.

As well as any audio developments that reduce the latency between user input and audio output (ie. onscreen controls, or USB midi controllers, and real time low latency audio input monitoring when recording audio)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
They don't really seem to have done much with it. Most of the code kernel and ALSA wise is totally original to Linux. Some of it dates back to 1990's. If it ain't broke don't fix it lol.

I think its the reason why other groups have managed to get 30-100% (linanaro, CM) improvements. I'm afraid all this lovely Ghz Dual core CPU and GB of RAM have made commercial devolopers lazy. Also you have to realise just how many 1000's of people have worked on Linux kernel, drivers, and low level architecture that linux & android uses.

Still, bonus for us, otherwise these phones would be much much expensive and less fun to play with :-)

No, you can't have a relocked bootloader or a locked bootloader. The locked/relocked bootloader is hboot version 1.5 and revolutionary doesn't work with hboot 1.5.

Since then Kies does not recognize the device anymore.

The phone has been bought in Italy but it starts with Hungarian language as a default (it also has Italian and English for sure).

We would like to know what is the most updated stock rom available for that phone and we would like to download the appropriate one (so that Kies recognise the phone).

Possibly the link to the firmware would help as well.

You're playing with words...

He means native video support via the phone contacts, like a normal voice call, but using video, it uses your mins or costs if your data plan doesn't give you free mins, rather than using your data allowance, instead of using an app like Skype or Gtalk...

I don't think people even know what normal video calls are. Using Skype or Gtalk on your mobile is new, But doing normal 3g video calls have been available since 2003 in the UK at least.

I dunno why people are like this on forums, it's highly annoying. It's some techie sort of snobbery (word play) or ignorance (as in they don't even know)... Either way I don't like it...

It was pretty obvious what he was asking...

I hate it when people say use Skype instead, that really annoys me, that implies the person you want to call is always on Skype, which they're not. With normal video calls, it calls the number like a voice call, so you have access anytime, as long as they have a 3g signal.

Far as I know those roms aren't exactly power hungry.

ManU kernel is recognized for batter saving.

You can use with MildWild CM version.

For oxygen I think you have to use thalamus kernel.
