Hi All,
Can Arduino control external USB sound card directly? (without PC)
Help me please!
no, the arduino lacks a usb host, and at best is a low ram 1980's powered device
though you can get 8-16 bit sound out of it doing it the same way they did it back then
if it lacks the host hardware your just wasting time
Osgeld, Richard Crowley,
Many thanks for your help.
I don't want to waste my time.
There are many audio shields so you can very easily add audio to a project if you want to.
What do you want to make the sound card do?
For making sounds, or even speech, there is the Speakjet, about $25....
If you just want to use the Arduino to implement a remote control to change volume, mute, etc(?), then you could tap into the "stuff" that "displays" what the sound card generates.
When you say "external sound card", I presume you meant a "naked" one, one JUST connected to the Arduino (and power and amp/speakers)? Not one "living" inside some PC?
