Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] setting headphone jack to mono?

2010-10-28 Thread PWB

Thanks bluegaspode. I have SSH'ed into the radio and looked a bit at the
'amixer' command and I think you're probably correct that it could
possibly do what I want, but I am by no means a Linux guy and don't
know what setting to change and what the syntax should be. 

Can anyone help me with the correct 'amixer' command to change the
headphone output to mono?

Thanks

Why not just take a trip to Radio Shack and pick up a jack that converts
the stereo signal from the headphone output to mono? This is a very
inexpensive hardware solution to your query.

That's what I have in place now, and it does work, but I'd rather not
use extra adapters if the radio can just output mono on its own. I know
its not a big deal though. The other half of my reason for asking is I
like tinkering with things and knowing how they work.

If you SSH into the radio you can use the 'amixer' command to change
output routing.
It's a standard Linux command maybe it's possible to achieve what you
want with it.

[SlimDevices: Radio] setting headphone jack to mono?

2010-10-23 Thread PWB

I recently bought a SB Radio and am in the process of making it the
controller of a whole house sound system. I am coming out of the
headphone jack and using external amps to power in-wall speakers in
several rooms with volume controlled by the Radio (not the amps) using
the iPeng iPhone app, but each room only has one speaker in it and so I
was wondering if I can edit the configuration of the Radio to output a
mono signal out of the headphone jack. I know I can use an adapter to
convert it (that's what I'm doing now), but it'd be nice if I could use
as few adapters and connectors as possible and just do it in the SB
Radio itself. I don't mind SSHing into the radio and making changes if
someone can point me in the right direction.
