+**Note** our A/V cables split out the signals as such - **Red** is Video, **White** and **Yellow** are stereo line-level audio which is not what you would expect!
+**Note Note** apparently like every A/V cable is slightly different. If you get one, try different colors to figure out which ones have audio coming out of them and which have video.

+You can get and change the HeadPhone volume (**HP**) by running **amixer sget HP** and **amixer sset HP**

+To set the volume to 1/2 for example, do this **amixer sset HP 64**

+====== Speaker ======
+The iMX.233 has a built-in mono speaker amplifier that can push up to 2W into a 4 ohm speaker! To use, connect the two speaker inputs into the **Spkr** 0.1" JST connection near the power jack. You can use either pin, they are not polarized as it is a mono output. Don't ground either of the speaker pins, they are "bridge tied" to improve output volume
+The chumby is 'switched' by default - if you connect headphones into the jack, the speaker will turn off and vice versa.
+If you want the speaker on even with the headphone plugged in, you can use **amixer cset**
+{{:chumbyhackerboard:amixercset.gif|}}
+For example, the Speaker Playback Switch is off, so we turn it on with **amixer cset numid=4 on** to reactivate
