I've been looking at this aspect. I'd like to use an Android mobile in some manner similar to Pippin's suggestions for i-Things, and excluding headphone-out sources. Converting from the MHL lead to HDMI isn't difficult. At least 2 solutions: (i) Samsung/Others: standard MHL -> HDMI lead; (I'm note sure how to get an HDMI signal into either (a) our analogue in/out traditional HiFi system, or (b) an external DAC. Apart from anything else, as I understand it, HDMI audio output 'depends' on what the receiving HDMI device claims that 'it' is, and what audio transmission scheme 'it' requires.) (ii) Hacked MHL/USB lead as here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395173&page=2&styleid=16 But, presumably, the audio signals shown in the sketch are still digital-something, at this point. Not sure what, though. regards, Atlantic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Atlantic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96282 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
