[Announce/Request] N900 as speaker for Audio/Video devices
 
At work i don't have speakers on my desktop, but i have headphone out. So i found two out Jack Plug

and connect it to headphone port in n900 and soundcard on desktop pc. But don't plug it on full size in n900, and disconnect USB cable (electrical interference). Then just run this script:

Speaker ON
Code:
#!/bin/sh
amixer -c0 set PCM 100%
amixer -c0 set 'Right PGA Bypass Mixer HP Switc' on
amixer -c0 set 'Left PGA Bypass Mixer HP' on
amixer -c0 set 'Left PGA Mixer Line1L' on
amixer -c0 set 'Left PGA Mixer Line2L' on
amixer -c0 set 'HP PGA Bypass' 100%
amixer -c0 set 'Speaker Function' On
echo "Speaker is ON"
Speaker OFF

Code:
#!/bin/sh
amixer -c0 set PCM 100%
amixer -c0 set 'Right PGA Bypass Mixer HP Switc' off
amixer -c0 set 'Left PGA Bypass Mixer HP' off
amixer -c0 set 'Left PGA Mixer Line1L' off
amixer -c0 set 'Left PGA Mixer Line2L' off
amixer -c0 set 'HP PGA Bypass' 0%
echo "Speaker is OFF"

Hey, AWESOME script :)

Could this possibly be tweaked so that we could input using the N900's 3.5mm jack and then output the sound through the FM Transmitter? :)

...and what would you use that for?

The N900 would then be used as an FM transmitter from some other audio source.

It would for example enable music played from a PC connected to an N900 to be transmitted via FM to nearby radios, like in adjoining office cubicles, etc.

Another possibility: a passenger with an mp3 player can use the N900 as an FM transmitter to play its music through a car sound system that doesn't have an aux input.

Exactly :) The ability to plug my ipod into my N900 via an 3.5mm jack lead, and then play it through the radio in my garage, as my N900 has a faulty USB meaning I have no way to put new songs onto it.

You can still use Bluetooth file transfer or WiFi :)

It sounds like a hardware problem. Is your N900 still under warranty?

Re: n900 as PC Speaker
 
Yes, it does sound like one of the following:
1. Damaged jack on N900
2. Damaged cable
3. Damaged jack on PC
4. PC stereo balance somehow set all the way to left or right

Do the headphones sound OK when connected to the N900?

I'd check what happens using another PC.
If it persists, then try another cable.
