Audio input over USB?

[deV14nt]

Specifically, HTC Fuze as USB computer speaker - possible?

It may be too complicated a hack, but I would like to use the speakerphone of my HTC Fuze (Raphael) as a cheap USB speaker for my computer, for when my 100 watt stereo speakers would be too loud and when I don't feel like wearing headphones.

Just a kinda funny but fairly unnecessary usage scenario. So, how to do it, and is it even possible?

pretty sure that pda's can performe the tast of an usbSoundcard
but when connected to activesync the pda would have the same network
as the pc and as so being able to map a shared network drive and play music from it

Thanks, but I need it to output games and application sounds, not mp3s.

Not sure if it would need a WinMo driver, an xp driver, or what. Maybe record computer's sound in realtime and play file from disk, also in realtime? Some sort of streaming? Just throwing out ideas. I have no idea how to make it work.

you would need a dummy sound driver on the pc and then a "server" app on the pc feeding a socket which the client driver on the pda would play
but you could never get it to do it real time
even if you used 2 pc's rather then a pda in the client end
and the pda would slow it down even more

but you could do it over bluetooth if the bluetooth device in your pc supported audiogateway then the pda would work as a soundcard for the pc

Thanks Rudegar! Too bad about USB, but that sounds even better. :) Knew I should have gotten a fancy bluetooth adapter for my computer instead of a wifi one!

they are pretty cheap just make sure you get one with a good newer broadcom bluetooth stack software
