Hi,
I have read a lot about the possibility to have audio in on the Nook Color, and most of the posts were not particularly optimistic in this ever becoming real. Anyway yesterday I have purchased a micro USB to female USB adapter and have been playing with USB host, so I tried to connect my Logitech QuickCam to a USB hub and the hub to the Nook. I was very surprised to see that, although the video doesn't work, audio kind of does. I was able to use Google Voice Search and give commands that were recognized and performed the intended actions, so I tried the next step that is to use Skype to make a phone call. Unfortunately Skype recognizes the microphone but the voice that is transmitted is very high pitched and accelerated, something like a chipmunk on helium!
What is even more interesting is that the audio I could hear from the receiving PC was high-pitched, but Skype sent also my voice to the Nook speakers, and this was fine: normal pitch and speed.
I have also tried to download a couple of audio recording applications from the store but they all got the high-pitched sound. Same story for Dolphin Sonar, commands are not recognized, I assume because of the very distorted sound.
So, just to recap:
- The USB microphone of the Logitech QuickCam is recognized (I had to put a hub between it and the Nook though)
- Google Voice Search Works fine
- Skype and other recording apps pick the sound, but it is high-pitched and accelerated. Skype however returns a normal pitched voice over the internal Nook speaker, with a very slight delay (maybe less than half a second).
Now the question: Is there a way to tweak the configuration of the microphone? Something like changing the bit rate? Is there an audio library I can upgrade, to see if the issue goes away? Do you think it is worth trying to upgrade to the latest available nightly?
If this problem is solved we could have a functional Skype.
I am currently running CyanogenMod 7.2.0 (Android version 2.3.7, kernel version 2.6.32.9), build date June 15th 2012, build number GWK74.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Use Terminal Emulator, type su to get # prompt and then type the command shown below:
# cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0
What is the capture rate shown under input?
If it is listed as continuous, it will work. If not, it only might work.

Look under the audio input section and look at the links. That's about all I've figured out. The "USB audio tester root" app in the market works.

Thank you for the info j8048188.
This is the full content of /proc/asound/card1/stream0
USB Device 0x46d:0x9c1 at usb-musb_hdrc-1.2, full speed : USB Audio
Capture:
Status: Stop
Interface 3
Altset 3
Format: S16_LE
Channels: 1
Endpoint: 6 IN (ASYNC)
Rates: 16000
So, as far as I can see, there is not section Input and no Capture Rate parameter.
Maybe I have an older version of this file?
I'll also have a look at the thread you have indicated, to see if I can find something useful.

That bottom line is the capture rate. I'll check the rates that my USB card supports and post back.
Edit:
My card reports back the following:
# cat /proc/asound/card1/stream0

These bottom 2 numbers are my capture rates. I haven't tried any live audio apps yet (Skype, chat, etc) but I can record with a voice recorder app from the market. When I use the built in recorder if I record for 3 seconds it plays back over 15 to 18 seconds. That is a rate mismatch error.

Apparently you have a problem that is opposite to mine: when I use a voice recorder the audio being captured is highly accelerated (maybe 5x), while yours is slowed down.
I thought I could play a bit with that config file, but I realized that it is being created when the USB mic is attached to the Nook, and destroyed when it is unplugged, and beside that, I could not modify it using a text editor or nano from Terminal, even if I had superuser privileges and I had chmod 777 it.
Do you know if there are other config files we can play with?
(or how to modify that file, although temporarily?)
Thank you

There was a modified alsa.omap3.so file that Verygreen modified to work with with one of the capture rates that my card supports. Can't find it for download any more.
Some work had been done on the nook simple touch to enable USB Mic input as well. You might want to check that out if you want to dabble in development. ( I won't have a computer to do so until the middle of September.)

Unfortunately that file was on a server that does not exist anymore. I found another alsa.omap3.so out there and I wanted to give it a try, but I could not overwrite the current one, since it says that the file system is read-only. Maybe I am missing something, is there a way to make it writable?
Sorry for the very noob question.
Ste
Be really careful that the file is for the nook color and not some other device or build. Use vanilla CM7.2, not another modded version. Use es file explorer. In settings, use the root enhancement and also mount system as writable.
Be very careful, changing system files with unknown files can brick your nook!

I tried to retrieve another version of alsa.omap3.so, but could not find anything. Unfortunately Verygreen's version is no longer available, and the vanilla 7.2 version does not help too much. I then decided to buy the Syba USB2.0 7.1CH Sound Adapter, which was listed in the link you provided me with a while ago, and it arrived yesterday: I was surprised to see that it works; audio is not the best but is enough for a Skype call, which is somewhat surprising to me if you consider that this device costs only $3.10 (free shipping) on Amazon.com. Interesting enough this one works with the USB tester app, and shows speeds of 48000 and 44100.

I know that price is an object for most people, but I really prefer Solid Explorer over anything else for file managing. If there is any app worth the money, it's Solid Explorer.
Also, I like Carbon for Twitter and Flipboard as my newsreader.
Reddit is fun is also a great app if you're on reddit a lot.
Blackmart, twidroid (yes its still available) tablified market, AccuWeather, touch calendar and exchange by touchdown...the absolute must have is media fire... 10 GBs of free storage space. Of course you need 4shared pro and ROM manager. The list kinda goes on and on... Those are my must haves though... Tab 2 10.1 cyanogen 4.2.2
Tasker is a really need to buy app too...

Taptu is amazing app for reading news. The best thing about it is that you can read offline and it load fast. Unlike other nice looking app like Flipboard, Current, Feedly it won't work with slow wifi at Mcdonald and can not read offline.

File managers (as well as the other apps, too) are a matter of personal preferense, IMO... As a loyal user of Total Commander for the past 18 years or so (I grew up on DOS and Norton Commander ), I like it both on Windows and on Android. However, my primary filemanager on my phone and tablet is ES Explorer (TC is a standby, but I am finding myself using it more and more on my tablet, as it's better on a bigger screen). As for Airdroid, there are also multiple apps available for WiFi file transfer. My choice is Software Data Cable - I use it all the time, no need for a USB connection, except for Odin flashing if needed...
One other personal recommendation is PasswdSafe - this has been my password manager on Windows for years, and Android port works beautifully in combination with DropBox file storage. With DropBox, all passwords are synced up between all my devices (three laptops, a phone, and a tablet) at any time.

Now I know that I don't own a Kindle Fire HD, but I know someone who does, and I have to do everything techy like add media to it. But there has been a problem. The person doesn't use it because this person has become so accustomed to the iPod Touch and kind of expected the same type of UI on a Kindle Fire HD and they don't know how to navigate it.
Is there any way I can make the Kindle Fire HD feel more at home to this person?
Is there any launchers that could help and the Google Play Store would be a better alternative to that Amazon appstore.

Hi
Greetings,
I agree on ur first part about toggle switch
Their will be few toggle switch when you pull down notification bar and on the bottom click quick setting their will be few but not all( if its not their then I do not know as I havent used one but I have toggle switch on my HTC sensation)
About sense you can google it you will get proper explanation as of now sense is an UI
The look of the phone,icons,etc comes under sense, it has some nice feature as when you invert your phone in a call ringtone the phone gets to silent , etc for detail you will need the help of google.com

For toggle switches...download an app called "Power Toggles." It's free and it will add switches to your notification bar.

As another user suggested, you can try power toggles from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=en
Alternatively you can try Notification Toggle from the Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.notificationToggle&hl=en
Or even TogglePanel if you want to go the paid route:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seifsoft.togglepanel&hl=en
Personally, I prefer Power Toggles...
For your file explorer, here are some recommendations:
ES File Explorer
Astro File Manager/Browser
I prefer ES file explorer as it's more feature-rich and I think it supports root (if I can recall correctly)
I don't exactly understand what you mean by media streamer? You probably do have various options (including built in HTC Link support).. Just let me know exactly what you're looking to do.. Transfer music files wirelessly from comp to phone? Control Youtube? Connect to some kind of TV?
If you have any other questions, just let me know.
The beauty of Android is it's so open! So almost whatever you want to do can be accomplished!
