MAGICIAN: audio via RINGER instead of SYSTEM channel - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I'm sure many know by now that there are 2 audio channels on the magician, anyone knows I can get audio to be played through the RINGER channel instead of the usual system channel???
I'm writing my program to play specific audio when a call comes in. however system channel becomes very soft and the ringer channel gets very loud when there's an incoming call.
there's only 1 waveout device based on waveOutDevNum(), anyone has cracked this? thanks!

Bluetooth able to play all sound?

Ok, I could have swore I seen a thread on this a while back, but now I can't seem to find it, can someone point me to this info on how to play ringtones and other sound thru my bt? thank you
Maybe you need some sort of software to ensure that the signal is routed properly.

This guys shows how to setup to play music through your BT earpiece. Maybe that will open up the channel for you to hear all phone sounds?
These files will do the basic function of routing ALL audio from the device to BT. One starts the audio, one stops.
Hope this helps.

Audible books sound problem

Hi all,
I loaded the audible software on the Touch Dual and all is great except when using my bluetooth headphones I only hear sound from one side, I found a section on there website that explains the problem but I was wondering if anyone has seen a fix for this???
Here is what was on the web site:
"If you are only hearing sound out of one earphone while listening to your Audible books on your PDA, this is due a limitation within the device itself. Audible audio books are recorded in a mono audio format which provides the benefit of keeping the audio file sizes to a minimum. There are a few devices that are unfortunately not able to duplicate the sound, from the mono audio playback of Audible titles, into both sound channels during the decoding process. This will result in the sound only being heard from one headphone.
While we are working on attempting to adapt our AudiblePlayer software to circumvent this problem, we currently do not have a time frame as to when this addition may be complete. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you."

Sound routing

Hi!
I am using a bluetooth headset which supports both A2DP and HSF profiles. The headset emits two short bips when enabled and therefore is not suited to very short sounds. My Galaxy S sends all system sounds to the headset which is very annoying.
I would like to configure it to send only the following sounds to the headset:
ring tone
call voice
MP3 player / video player
I have discovered /system/etc/asound.conf contains routing instructions. Is this file documented somewhere?
There surely is some app that enables profiles, so that you can set a profile with system notification sounds set to zero when you connect your headsets. I'm not sure about alsa configuration file, but if you come up with something, please let us know.
If I want to get rid of the problem, I can just use the silent mode, but I would like to hear those system sounds when I receive a SMS or a mail.

BT ringtone on car handsfree

On my car BT hands free I noticed that when my i9500 rings, regardless the custom Rom i have installed (cm or touchwiz, mostly touchwiz since cm suffer from many issues in BT lately.. )
The car uses an annoying default ring tone for incoming calls, resulting in 2 different ring tones. One from my cell and the one from the multimedia system.
I almost though it due to my poor wince5 multimedia system in my car (a2dp compatible)till i have connected an iPhone 6 which delivers the ringtone you have set In your phone.
Does anyone know of a way to make BT transmit the correct ringtone ?
Usually the ringtone on the BT is physically house on the BT. Its not an audio file that the phone is transmitting.
When the phone sends the BT the siglnal that its ringing the BT plays its own audio ringer file.
In other words tou have to change the ringtone on the BT.
This is USUALLY the case. It is not ALWAYS the case
There are no ringtone/ringtype settings on the multimedia system at all.
I wonder how iPhone does succeeded out of the box transmitting the its internal ringtone..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There are no settings on your device because ringtone is not selectable. But there is a ringtone file on the device. I assure you.
I'll look for that. Thanks.

Directing sound to specific output for application

Hi,
I'm often listen to music from my android device that is connected through jack cable to car audio, but simultaneously I also use navigation. Now when there is any communicate from navi - the music is paused and the prompt is heard in car speakers. Is there any way to make the music not stop and the navi sound to be announce through phone speaker?
The same thing with BT A2DP connection.
Thanks in advance
The Way Hardware Access is enabled in Android Kernel, it controls only one Channel to route output to. So you can't have one app using one output and another app using another. Perhaps when we get 64 bit Android, on 64 bit devices, that might be an option.
Is it then possible to route a channel from headphone to phone speaker when specific application is requesting sound output? E.g. music is played through headphones and when a navi prompt - music is paused, navi output goes through phone speaker and after its finished - music unpause and goes again through headphones.
It is not a problem when music and navi announcement are played through car speakers, but when I change the source in car radio from aux to e.g. tuner or cd - all notifications from android device are cutted off from any speaker.
Maybe there is a way to switch output using Tasker, so that when a music app is playing - sound goes through jack, and when music app is closed - sound goes through phone speaker.
Certain Rom Developers have tweaked their Roms to Override Bluetooth output. Especially when the Ring goes off. Can you please specify what device do you have ?
I have LG G2 with Cyanogenmod 11.
I also have one application for speed camera warning, in which I can set the audio channel. By default it is "music", so when there is a BT audio connection (or headphones) - every sound goes through BT (or headphones) , but when I set the channel to "alarms" - music goes through BT (or headphones) and sound from this app through phone speaker. So the channel switch is possible, but unfortunately it has also an issue. When this app is requests sound output - the music over BT (or headphones) is paused and audio is switched to phone speaker, but the process is lagging and the prompt is cutted so I can't hear the whole announcement.
Maybe the best solution will be an app that can manually switch the audio channel, so when I want to listen to music - audio goes through headphones, and when I will close music app - audio will goes through phone speaker without the need to remove jack.
moved to the G2 help forum.
