Audio over USB to PC?

[zzoinks]

I was wondering if there's a way to direct the audio out from my Tilt to my PC using the USB connection? I'd like to be able to play video files on the Tilt and have the audio fed over the USB connection to my PC... is that possible?

Tried some searching but I was only able to find info about a USB->3.5mm headphone adapter, which isn't what I'm looking for.

Thanks,

why not just play the said video files directly on the pc ?

It's my work PC and I don't want to go through the hassle/risk of installing additional codecs (divx/xvid).

If you have a good sized SD card, check out the free download at Mojopac. Used in conjunction with Softick card exporter (turns your phone into a USB stick), you can carry around your own PC environment on your phone that works on any PC so you can load WMP 11 and all the codecs on that.

Plug the USB into the PC, loadup Mojo off your phone and play the files on the PC without effecting it as it treats your SD card as the C: drive! :)

it would require alot of programming to do
also i dont really see much demand for it
as much people want to stream audio and video together

what you can do is use the "USB->3.5mm headphone adapter"
and connect it to the lineIn / mic input on your pc
that would make your pc play the audio too

I've got a 3.5mm headphone adapter on order, so I guess that would work once it arrives. I do have a line in on my laptop that I could use; I was just hoping to do it via software with my existing hardware.

Farsquidge: That sounds like it might work but it also sounds like overkill for what I was looking for.

Yeah, it may be a bit OTT for you.
It has saved me carrying a laptop around though and its free!

Hope it all works out for you. :)

Rather than installing mojopac, you could just use VLC Portable and run it from your phone memory card in the same way using softick.

Or just pick up a 2 or 4 gig usb stick, slap VLC portable on it along with your vids etc and just use it as your portable movie/music player on any PC thats to hand.

Hey, thanks for that info! My son has been looking for something of this sort to use with his mini portable 100Gb HDD for college but didn't want the full blown desktop environment!

Cheers bud! :D
