So, /g/, can I use my based android device as a USB sound card for my PC and why is it not a default function?

Ok, you win. Back to the thread now.
>>
>>55120286
Can't you tell a difference between a sound card and a speaker or just never learned to read?
>>
>>55120312
What the fuck do you think a USB speaker is? It's not like USB carries analog audio.
>>
>>55120312
I'm about to blow your fucking mind
if you plug something into the phone's headphone socket it will come out of that instead of the phone speaker

Ok moroons, try to imagine a PC without any sound outputs, everything you have is an android phone, usb cable and a pair of speakers. How do you make the phone work as a sound adapter for the said PC? Remember that the phones jack is already connected to the speakers.

You are beyond hope.

SoundWire uses network to transfer sound and there is a shitload of delay, it's shit - not a real solution.
>>
>>55120518
Instead of trying to hack together a ghetto sound card, you could just buy a cheap USB one for like 2 bucks
>>

I am trying to get rid of sound distortion that comes from my CPU/GPU/PSU (im not sure) when running on high performance to the 2kW amp. Ideally I'd use an external sound adapter solution but since I don't have one, I tought about using my phone. The sound quality shouldn't be too bad. A cheap usb adapter would probably be even worse than the integrated sound card that I am using right now.

Let me clear this out. When the PC doesn't draw much power the sound is ok but when I put a load on it (gaming, high cpu usage) then the buzzing appears and the sound becomes overally shit.

Does your amp accept SPDIF or TOSlink?

The PC and the amp are using the same power outlet and are rather far away (more than 1m). When I turn the volume high enough I can even hear my cursor moving.
>>
>>55120936
Your best bet is just to get an external sound card, or get a way of converting the PC's digital output (assuming it has this) to analog.

I used to use an old minidisc player as an optical to analog converter for much the same reasons, it worked pretty great.
>>
>>55120413
Sure. But probably no one has ever wanted to do such a thing so no one coded the app.

Either do it yourself or buy a cheap USB sound card that will probably have a better DAC and less latency.
>>

>>55121038
Not OP, I bought this, being delivered today.

Did I do good?
>>
>>55121062
It'll be enough.
>>
>>55121024
>or get a way of converting the PC's digital output
Thats a sound card
>>
>>55121062
I bet if you opened this up it'd be nothing more than a couple of caps in between the input and output.
>>
>>55121116
And a DAC, seeing it is doing USB to analog.
>>
>>55121116
It was around £60 when it was first released

>>55121076
Hopefully. I'm currently trying to produce an amateur demo for my band, and my laptop only has a combined port for output and input.
>>
>>55120286
but why would anyone do this

seriously, I don't see the point
>>
>>55121134
>and my laptop only has a combined port for output and input.
You probably want to aim for something that has a proper line in then.
>>
>>55121103
Yes, but sound cards can also output digital audio signals
>>
>>55120183
>sound card for my PC
How shitty is your on board soundcard
