HOW-TO enable usb-sound

[BBA]

It's dirty, windows only, but works for me!

- make sure you can telnet into WL700g (see this (http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=5762) post)
- look in this excel file (http://www.joyce.cz/download.php?typ=1&file=speakerexpress-usb_compatiblelist.xls) and read the manual (http://www.joyce.cz/download.php?typ=1&file=asus_speakerexpress-quick_guide(english)_2004.12.10.pdf) if it is going to work for your device(s)....
- download and install asus-speakerexpress.exe, you can find it here (http://www.joyce.cz/download.php?typ=1&file=asus_speakerexpress.exe)
- download 'audio.o' and 'waveserver' from here (ftp://baas.thuisserver.com/shares/shared/) and put them somewhere on the WL700g (I copied them first to the share 'myshare1' and then moved to /tmp/bin)
- telnet and cd to this directory
- do an ' insmod audio.o', it should say: using audio.o
- plug in your usb soundcard
- type './waveserver &'
- do not close your telnet-session otherwise your music will disappear...
- now run mediaplayer, make sure the :D shows up in mediaplayer and listen wireless to music...!!

Good luck!

If somebody knows how to run it without keeping the telnet, it would be great....

One way would be to find the source for "screen" and cross-compile it to run on the router. that way you can force it to run in the background.

Or if you're real ambitious you can add all those files to the firmware and make the server start up at boot. But that's a bit more complicated :)
