Why sound isn't working on the TP2.

[york629]

Now this may be a stupid question but the TP2 has a feature in winmo that when you put the phone on it's face the sound switches to the speakerphone. it is one of the only phones that has it I believe, could that have anything to do with why the sound should work but dosent?

No I don't believe so, the only thing that happens when you turn the phone face down is that the proximity sensor and the G-sensor show that the phone is upside down facing the ground, so it then turns on speaker phone. This shouldn't have anything to do with sound on android at all. When you turn the phone upside down face down, it's the same as turning speaker phone on, but instead of having to do it, it does it for you.

thanks alot for all this info im sure everyone appreciates it!
i also wanne thank all the developers working on this project for spending their time on doing all this for us whitout asking for anything ...

Hi all, I have done some serious work on sound. Been busy lately but I hope to get back to it next month. As someone suggested at the beginning on this thread, I have written an ndiswrapper like program for windows ce drivers under linux. It is called vial, http://gitorious.org/vial

I was able to get GPS working using this code. Atm, it does completely load the wavedev.dll which appears to init successfully, but alas, there is no sound. There are only a couple of things left which i think may not be working correctly. If someone wanted to work on it I would be happy to get them up to speed. Somebody needs to write some wince programs to find out what magic numbers it is returning for some functions.

Thank you for the work you've done thus far even though we cannot take advantage of it (or put it to use) YET

Have you shared this information in the IRC channel to see if anyone in there is willing to take what you've done and continue with it, work with it, or collaborate ??

Just a suggestion.

Thanks again for all the work that you and everyone involved has put into this project so far.

I have not been on IRC in a while, but back when I was working on this, I was in the channel all the time. There aren't many people, or maybe any, working on TP2 any more, all HD2. Even when there were, other people usually don't like to get started on other peoples projects. They have there own thing going on, and their own vision on how to solve the problem.

I noticed that as well. I certainly wish I had more knowledge than I do about ARM/ASM coding and the like. I've been eager to get involved but simply don't know enough.

Cotulla has got sound to work (with some flukes here and there) on the HD2 FWIW.. I wonder if there's some knowledge that can be taken from his progress and used for the TP2 ? I know they're different animals, but sometimes principles are similar.

Thanks again for the work you've done thus far. (and the other devs )

Haha .. havet seen you on the irc channel in ages. Since that last talk we had about getting you a dev tp2 to maybe do jtag stuff if i remember correctly.

It's tru, the channel is really dedicated for hd2 right now. Cotulla has been nice enough to translate some asm for me from time to time but ive yet to solve my own project of hw3d. I believe sound and 3d suffer from the same issue at this point. In android the qualcom driver loads fine but there are no interrupts from the gpu.

Anyways, its obvious there is enough demand for sound. Still interested in getting that jtag stuff done. I'll throw in some bucks to getting you a dev phone. I'm sure others here as well .

That sounds like a working theory . My understanding is that the GPU is actually some code running on the DSP. So if DSP is crashed or something, sound and 3d wouldn't work.

Has anyone tried hiring some freelancer to try and solve this? Maybe we should start looking into that if someone has moved on to the HD2.
