 +====== Moved! ======
  
-====== Playing local MP3s ====== +This tutorial has moved to [[http://learn.adafruit.com/chumby-hacker-board/audio|http://learn.adafruit.com/chumby-hacker-board/audio]]
- +
-You can play MP3's off of your USB key or if you've copied any to the **/​mnt/​storage** space with **btplay --start-daemon file.mp3** +
- +
-{{:​chumbyhackerboard:​btplay.gif|}} +
- +
-MP3's will play in the background. To kill **btplay** run **killall btplay** +
- +
-Audio will play through the headphone jack at max volume, just plug in your favorite headphones! (Warning: it may be really loud!) +
- +
-====== Playing remote MP3s! ====== +
- +
-You can also stream music with **btplay**, just stick a URL in there! +
- +
-{{:​chumbyhackerboard:​soma.gif|}} +
- +
-Just as before, just plug into the headphone jack to verify its working. (Warning: it may be really loud!) +
- +
-====== Splitting out the A/V ====== +
- +
-The headphone jack is not actually just audio - its actually Audio and Video. That means that you if you just plug headphones you'll notice some buzzing - thats you listening to the video! Now if you're in a Cronenberg film this is probably OK but for most of us its very annoying! There are two solutions. One is to split out the 3 signals into RCA jacks (with a camcorder cable)  +
- +
-{{http://​www.adafruit.com/​images/​medium/​avcable_MED.jpg}} +
- +
-and then recombining with an RCA Y cable (such as [[http://www.sweetwater.com/store/​detail/​YRA154/|a Y female-RCA to male 3.5mm]] or [[http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/​CMR206/​|this]] +
- +
- +
-**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! +
- +
-====== Using the Mixer ====== +
- +
-If you want to change the volume of the headphones, you'll need to run the audio mixer software **amixer** +
- +
-{{:​chumbyhackerboard:​amixer.gif|}} +
- +
-You can get and change the HeadPhone volume (**HP**) by running **amixer sget HP** and **amixer sset HP** +
- +
-{{:​chumbyhackerboard:​sgethp.gif|}} +
- +
-To set the volume to 1/2 for example, do this **amixer sset HP 64** +
