Hi Andy,

One other question: I assume you'll be wanting audio in and out available? On the panda, which is which? I can't seem to find any documentation on that. :)

It's the bottom connector that is the output from the Panda and the top connector that's the input to the Panda.

Thanks

Hi -

The "front out" should double as stereo out in the default 2ch mode. You can check by stcking some headphones in and aplay -Dhw:1 mytest.wav or similar.

Hi Andy,

Just getting round to looking at this. I have the USB sound card and some patch leads. I'm fine with hooking it up to the dispatcher server, and I can dedicate a LAVA Panda board to this, but I just need to know how the patch leads need to be connected. I'm assuming I connect "audio out" from the panda to "line in" on the USB card, but in terms of the return trip, as it were, there are three "outs": "Front out", "Rear out" and "CEN/Bass out".

If we're intending two way testing, then how should I configure this?

Additionally, there is a "Mic In" and "SPDF in" and "SPDF out".

Any guidance would be very welcome.

Thanks

Dave

        Hi all,

        I'm purchasing a dedicated server for the new dispatcher
        work, and also getting a USB sound card, as discussed at
        Connect. I'm looking for guidance as to functionality - a
        link to amazon would be quite helpful. :)

        Any suggestions welcome.



    Hi Dave -

    This should be a good way to blow GBP11.45

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/External-Sound-Card-Channel-Audio/dp/B003TO3KHY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1354414953&sr=8-5

    It's not what I have but with optical in and out as well as
    6ch support it should so the 2ch that we need as well.

    These (0.58) wi ll do as the patch leads
