[Nook Touch General] :
I use a Sabrent External Sound Box USB-SBCV which works like a charm straight off the OTG cable, no hub. Also has Mute, No Record, Volume + and Volume - hardware keys.

For an OTG cable, I have this one by Asus. Works famously, no wiggle, firm hold. :good:

If you have ES Task Manager, you can control the volume by following these instructions:

1. Reboot (optional).

2. Open UsbMode, and tap "Off".

3. Plug in your OTG cable, and tap "Host" twice. LED should be green.

4. Open ES Task Manager, and navigate [Fast Menu > Volume].

5. Switch all the volume levels to 20%, except for Media - switch it to 66%.

6. Plug in your external sound box. Plug in a speaker or a set of headphones.

7. Open AudioCtl. It should beep 3 times. Tap "Beep" again.

8. Open your video player or file explorer, and select a video or song to play.

9. Test the volume control by hitting + or - on the sound box.

10. Enjoy!

Hope this helps!

How is the battery life using this with audio books? Wonder if this will work with the BNRV500?
[Nook Touch General] :
I haven't tested any audio books yet, but with music playing, my Nook Touch GlowLight loses approx. 10% battery per hour.

Would you refresh my memory on which Nook the BNRV500 is? I can't remember. :eek:

surprising volume quirks

I finally got my current audio gizmo to work sans powered hub, having decided just how my defective OTG cable needs to be positioned to function best. I've got another cable and gizmo on order. Thanks, Nookie :D

The whole volume thing is maddening--especially if your USB audio device is control-less, as is my current one. The Nook knows enough to discern the difference between notification and media volumes (look closely at the appearing slider when you invoke the volume control in an audio app as opposed to just anywhere). The volume is either off or maximum. A good set of headphones can easily stand in for desktop speakers! Except for...

MX Player allows you to decouple the app volume from the system volume setting. So that app, thankfully, has a software audio control which actually approaches comfortable levels. If you set up MX for audio as well as video you can also tell it what folders to look at, bypassing the inability of the Nook to search for media files. And, if you want to keep things simple, you could use it to play audiobooks (just merge the separate files into one for convenience) since it remembers where you leave off in a given file.

If you want more of the traditional audiobook player capabilities, the Akimbo player is simple but featured with typical controls, including bookmarks. And....if you turn the blasting system volume all the way down (i.e., "off"), you can still hear something that's just about right (if background noise if not too loud). Bizarre.

If this volume issue could be solved it would probably help with current drain. After all, the USB device is drawing current from the battery to produce this high db sound level. Fewer dbs = less current, it seems to me.

I've tried every free volume control app in the Market. Not a one has any effect.
[Nook Touch General] :
Did my instructions not work for you? It works every time for me...
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
If you mean using the volume setting from ES Task Manager, I won't be able to try that until the device with the on-board volume buttons arrives.
[Nook Touch General] FerociousAndroid:
BNRv500 = NOOK GlowLight (current Gen e-Ink reader).

http://nook.barnesandnoble.com/u/nook-glowlight-ereader/379004122
[Nook Touch General] :
Ah, yes. Unfortunately, like many other mods here on XDA for Nook Touch devices, this will not work on the Nook GlowLight, mainly because it has no microSD card slot through which to apply the mod.

Sorry about that. :(
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
In a word, no. I've got my new USB audio device and new OTG cable. When I try to adjust the volumes as described using ES Task Manager I can get one or two done and then the Nook goes to the white screen that says "Nook" with the running dots and finally to the lock screen and B&N Home.

The volume buttons on the audio device invoke the Android volume control which is either off or maximum.

So....what version of ES Task Manager are you running? I just got it from the Market.
[Nook Touch General] :
No, no - it's working fine if you're hot-rebooting after adjusting a few meters in ES Task Manager! The trick is that you have to wait for the Nook to finish its little boot sequence, head right back into Task Manager and finish the volume changes, and open AudioCtl and hit "Beep". If the beep tone is not ear-splitting like it normally is at this point, you can use the volume buttons on the sound box to adjust the beep volume, which carries over into soundtracks and videos.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
So...this time the other volumes were already at 20 and I just had to adjust the Media volume. No hot boot this round.

And it worked!

After I tried all my new audio apps I exited from host mode and then tried it all over again but this time I skipped the ES Task Manager just to see what would happen. It still worked. So is this a persistent thing (unless you do a full reboot or have a crash)?

I'll try it again in the morning to see whatswhat. If it's persistent it would be great. This audio business is a dream come true but it's a bit like "first swing a dead chicken around three times, then hop on one foot, hoot like an owl, click your heels together three times and recite 'she sells seashells down by the seashore' ten times as fast as you can."

A little of that goes a long way. :silly:
[Nook Touch General] :
Alright! You got some good results! :)

Yes, according to my current testing, the audio volume works correctly until either a shutdown, a reboot or a hot-reboot (just the dots). Audio really is a dream come true, as you said - but don't worry, once you get used to the "volume enabling process", it won't be as tedious as it seems to be at the moment.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I can confirm this and, what is even better, if you set two of the Nook's hardware buttons to volume control then they also work whether your USB audio device has controls or not! So now even my $2.50 gizmo with no controls and no LEDs works like a charm.

My hat is off to all the people who worked on getting USB Host and audio to work, and particularly to pinguy1982 who made it so easy-and tempting-to implement by putting everything into one neat package and working on the sound quality.
[Nook Touch General] :
Yes, I was going to tell you about that option, but I temporarily forgot about it :eek:

I also would like to thank all of the main contributors to the UsbSound project for their hard work. I've done some contributing to it myself, but nothing as amazing as pinguy's or Renate's work, that's for sure.

Thanks, everyone!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
spoke too soon

I had to do a backup now that everything seemed settled. I anticipated having to go through the process of trying to get Android's attention with regard to Media Volume. But not this much.

I'm stuck. I've repeated the process over and over. Each time I try to reset any one volume in ES TM I get a reboot and the settings are right back where they started. I can't seem to make any progress. Is there a particular order in which you adjusted the various volumes and did you ever get to do more than one before a reboot? :confused:
[Nook Touch General] :
I always adjust the volume for Notifications last, if that helps.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
OK, I give up

I don't know what was in magic alignment the one time I got it to work, but it's gone now. Each single adjustment triggers a boot and then I come back to everything different. Must have been a random chance (like the one time I manipulated the Android volume controls before opening up an audio app and that worked) and/or perhaps some subtlety in the ROM you are using enhances your chance of getting it to work.

I've been working on it for hours, trying everything I can think of, but no joy. Looks like I will need a pair of earbuds with inline volume controls (if they can even deal with the earsplitting volume levels).

The good news is that I have my backup......
[Nook Touch General] :
I'll do some more in-depth testing tomorrow to see if I can provide a specific order that works. Sorry for these inconveniences! :eek:
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
See here for Nookie's solution.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
I should have looked back at this thread before I tore what's left of my hair out trying to get the various mic recording issues sorted out :eek:

Yes, go back to the post linked above and make the modifications for general recording and/or Renate's Recorder app. BUT, although it's up in the Audio Playback section, the last modification:

"Modify /system/lib/hw/alsa.default.so"

[00002268] 02 00 00 00 // format
[0000226c] 01 00 00 00 // channels
[B][00002270] 40 1F 00 00 => 44 AC 00 00 // rate[/B]

Is incompletely done in pinguy's package. The first two edits are done but not the last. The effect seems to be that while you may actually be able to use a mic or Skype or a limited number of Market applications, it will seem like it is not working because there is a discrepancy between the recording rate and the playback rate.

After much confusion over this I checked the alsa.default.so file and found that the final edit had not been made. Once I did that everything began to work.

Dragon Jump is Ketchapps newest game, what do you guys think about it? It's a pretty simple concept, like most ketchapp games the controls and gameplay are simple. It's a one touch game and you're trying to get as high of a score as possible. The biggest twist with this game is that their is also a boss, so not only do you have to try to get a highscore but you also have to try to kill the boss which gives you more coins. Let me know what you think about my gameplay of it.
[Android Apps and Games] imagnity:
Finished all 4 bosses and then went back to first boss. Wish they had more characters as I have more then 2K coins but nowhere to spend. Very very catchy concept.

[P3600 General] powerbook:
Hi guys n gals.

I bought my Trinity from Ebay "unlocked" and have spent the last few hours rebuilding it as I think it was unlocked using dodgy s/w.

My specific question is whether I not I have a "GPS enabled ROM" and how do I find out? I also have some specific TomTom questions (see later).

From Device Info:

ROM version: 1.23.61.5

Radio Version: 1.41.00.11

Protocol version: 32.74.7020.18H

I'm running "WM 5 OS 5.1.342 (Build 15096.3.0.0)" and also "TomTom 6.03" which I set to GPS internal. However I'm not getting a fix and it's been 30mins so I'm wondering if it's a ROM issue as described elsewhere on this site. Please advise.

Also the s/w itself is behaving oddly which makes me wonder if it's copied but then it did update OK using tomtom/home. The western europe maps are apparently on the miniSD card but I can't set my UK home address. It just keeps going to Amsterdam (I think), no matter what I do. Have I got a dodgy copy? All I really want to do is navigate in UK.

Finally do I need WM6 at all?

Cheers all.
[P3600 General] goodie:
are you trying to get a GPS lock in or outdoors, because i cant get a fix indoors but outdoors i get a fix in 2mins,

also have you got tomtom configured to use COM9 for GPS? this is essential
[P3600 General] NeilM:
You can't configure the COM port using Built-IN GPS, but it should find it OK.

As Goodie says, you must have a clear view of the sky to get a fix- satellite signals are very weak, especially for a 1st fix when the reciever needs to download a lot of data.

Your ROM is up to dat- Radio 1.41 is recent; any Radio ROM ending in **.11 has GPS enabled.

Western Europe Maps should be able to use the Postcode search in UK, as long as the Postcode database is enabled/loaded. Look in the root of the SD card for a folder called ZIP, which should contain the postcode file.

If TT Home recognised the installation, it is likely to be OK. Did you receive the original documentaion with it? If so, there should be a card or sticker with the Product Code on it. If not, double clicking the Map entry in TomTom Home should bring up a properties window with the product code.

Once you have that, you can go to www.ttcode.com and check which device code the map is locked to. When in TomTom on the PDA, you should be able to see the Device Code in one of the 'About' screens- can't remember which one :(
[P3600 General] powerbook:
hi and thanks for the quick reply.

1. sorry i was inside. went out and got a fix.

2. there is a ZIP folder on the SD card. inside it are two files. One is called Nederland (1.86M) and the second is "Nederlandpostal.ver". am i missing some uk files? is this why it keeps defaulting to amsterdam?

3. no docs with the purchase. will try your advice later and double click the Map entry in TomTom. or do i need to do it now to get it to work for uk use?

thanks
[P3600 General] goodie:
sounds to me like you havent got UK maps
[P3600 General] powerbook:
hi,

no i have got the uk maps. its found my house and if i somehow fiddle around with it and manually select city it will find other uk locations. but somethings clearly odd. on another screen it tells me i have Map: 'GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE'. or you mean do i need to have something else in that ZIP folder?
[P3600 General] powerbook:
here's exactly what i need to do.

say i want to navigate from my home in surrey to say my girlfriend's address in chelmsford, essex. if i hit navigate to/address/postcode, all the device will recognise is german addresses. i have to first go into /street and house number/ and then enter "chelmsford" FIRST. and then search for her street.

i want the device to default to uk postcode as i dont always know the city location, just the postcode. so it will be very difficult to use.

i doubt i'll need the europe maps for quite a while so guess theyre worth keeping.

have i made sense?
[P3600 General] NeilM:
You need to go back into TomTom Home and download the UK Postcode file, which should be copied to the ZIP folder. At present you seem to only have the Netherlands postcodes. Without the UK Postcode file, you will only be able to select addresses by town/street.

Do you have 2 maps on your device- Western Europe, and UK plus Major Roads of Europe? If so, try and use the UK only version if you don't need to drive in mainland Europe, as route calculation and address searching is much faster with the smaller map.
[P3600 General] powerbook:
Many thanks. I'll do that tonight. Do I therefore delete the 2 Netherlands files from the ZIP folder?
[P3600 General] NeilM:
No, they can stay there for next time you visit there :)
[P3600 General] powerbook:
NeilM (or anyone else!)

I'm back home now, have booted up the PC and launched TomTom Home.

I can see the Netherlands file on the Zip folder but I can't see how to download the UK Postcode file.

Sorry for being thick but how/where do I grab it?

Thanks
[P3600 General] BlackBeauty:
Hi powerbook,

Not sure about others, but I downloaded my local maps from a friend....you can download it from TomTom if you don't mind paying...

Also, I'm assuming you have some sort of GPS icon and you can get a GPS fix where you are?
[P3600 General] NeilM:
If you can see the UK map in the middle pane of TomTom Home, is there a way to re-download it? Also have you tried the 'Updates' link in the left hand pane? Unfortunately I'm working from memory, as I don't currently have TomTom Home installed.

If you can get hold of the original product code, you may be able to request a download link from TomTom.

@Blackbeauty: the question is about using Postcodes, rather than GPS fixes, but thanks for the input. Copying maps from friends is against the T&C of TomTom, and will usually not work anyway, unless the copied maps are also illegal versions, as the map activation is tied to a particular device.
[P3600 General] akirainblack:
Your home and/or default maps are set to Germany not UK

Load tomtom. Click on the screen

Change Preferences

Second page has

Manage Maps

Select the UK map and that should solve 1/2 the problem if not all of it.

reload tomtom

If the problem is still there

Click on the screen

Change Preferences

Second page has

Change Home location

Put in the correct location

This should fix it looking for the german postcodes rather than UK.

Couple of other issues I ran into however, after booting and was going through the prompts, I could not select "setup as new device" during startup, screen (select button I think, or next) was just unresponsive. I had to use the last auto backup, not by choice, but just to continue. This probably had some adverse effects due to the CM/TW difference....

The further I moved forward in setting the phone up, the laggier my device became, very slow to respond to touches, I eventually gave up. Again this could be attributed to the restore issue, but not sure... I'll be giving it another try after work. ...
