AmigaOS 4: USB Audio Class driver

Andrea Palmatè has written a native USB audio class driver for AmigaOS 4 from scratch. USBAudio is an AHI subdriver that supports stereo playback, 7.1 multi-channel surround sound, recording with input switching, multiple device detection and user-configurable device names. In a detailed blog post, he recounts the history and development process of the driver. The driver is currently still in beta status.

Recording audio to an iPhone via a Tascam Portacapture X8

It is possible to use the Tascam Portacapture X8 as an ADC, input converter, and mixing board for an iPhone, but there’s a few things you’ll need to know.

Thankfully, any USB-C or USB-C-to-Lightning cable will do

You just connect one end of the USB-C cable to the Portacapture X8 (to its built-in USB port) and the other to your iPhone (USB-C or Lightning work, as suits your particular model of […]

I'm still annoyed and bewildered that #Android still doesn't have basic automotive audio over USB. Not Android Auto, just plain audio over USB, like my iPhone 7 had.

Looking at 24 bit USB sound interfaces - came across this review which is exactly the sort of review that sways my purchasing:

"Works perfectly with the OpenBSD operating system and custom signal processing software for high-performance atomic spectroscopy laser locks at an unbeatable price."

Warning! Recent Linux kernel update breaks some USB audio device support!

bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.c

Stay at version 5.19.8 until this is fixed if you don't want unpleasant surprises!

Grr ... Apple ...

Macbook 14" M1Pro

USB2-Audio with at least 2 different interfaces crackle while playing something (no, that's not a fireplace)

Any ideas?

Drive High-Impedance Headphones With This Stylish USB DAC

For anyone with an interest in building audio projects, it's likely that an early project will be a headphone amplifier. They're relatively easy to build from transistors, ICs, or tubes, and it's possible to build one to a decent quality without being an electronic engineering genius. It's not often though that we see one as miniaturized as [daumemo]'s USB-C DAC and headphone amplifier combo, that fits within a slightly elongated 3.5 mm jack cover as part of a small USB-to-headphone cable.

The DAC is an off-the-shelf board featuring an ALC4042 IC, it has a line-level output and a handy place to tap off a 5 volt line for the amplifier. This final part is a tiny PCB with two chips, a TPS65135 that produces clean +5 and -5 volt rails, and an INA1620 which is a high-quality audio amplifier set up for 2x gain. All this has been designed onto a very small PCB, which sits inside a 3D-printed housing along with the 3.5 mm earphone socket. The result is a very neat unit far better able do drive high-impedance headphones than the output from an unmodified DAC, but still looking as svelte as any commercial product. We like it.

This may be one of the most compact USB-to-headphone amplifiers we've seen, but it's by no means the first.
