Hi,

where did you buy it? How much did it cost?

Cheers

 I just bought the audio cape and a bit surprised at the lack of any docs

 headphone out.

 I'm sure this thing works, but not sure what I need to do to get it 
 working.

 Ive tried aplay, alsa, alsamixer and nothing seems to know the board is 
 present. Using debian for the beagle board


 Is there some kind of configuration that is needed to make this work? Or, 
 is there any docs for this board (Rev B) that explain what needs to be done?

 Appreciate any help.

 aplay -vv  file.wav   Seems to do something, but no audio from either of 
 the ports.


 thx

2014-05-11 Thread erg
I got mine from 
http://boardzoo.com/index.php/new-products/bone-audio.html#.U2_-VFd7_uw  
boardzoo.com  Cost $29.95  

Few other notes:

I will likely need to modify this board to include an audio amp to drive a 
speaker and an on-board mic.  

I tried to play audio directly from Java - don't think it's gonna work 
without some indepth knowledge of the Linux and the Java audio.  My most 
likely solution will be to simply execute an external program (most likely 
madplay). 
aplay will only play wav files, I would rather use mp3 due to space.

I've installed maplay using 
 apt-get install madplay
(i've tried mpg123 - but didn't seem to work and did not want to fight that 
battle 

Good luck.  I know very little of Linux, so this was a bit frustrating form 
me, I hope my notes help 
I'm not entirely sure yet, but think I will execute (from Java) lame to 
record.

Use amixer to modify the volume. Start with arecord and aplay to confirm
that your audio is working before using java.

If you have a microphone, play music from say your iPhone or Android device.
arecord -r 44100 -c 1 -f S16_LE -t wav -vv -d 25 example.wav
aplay example.wav
