How to play audio through USB device on Raspbian? - raspbian

I recently got a Raspberry PI, and have been trying to play a .wav file through a connected USB speaker (which works fine on Windows 7). How do you do this in Raspbian?

would be useful to know what the speaker is.
The usb speakers is probably only powered by usb.
Check if they have a jack input and configure your raspi-config to output audio to jack

Using WebUSB for a legacy USB device

I have an old SONY Minidisc player that has USB output for NetMD interfacing with a PC. I am searching for someone who can tell me how to use WebUSB on my Mac to access the files. The Mac does NOT recognize the device connected via USB.

ToupTek XCAM4K8MPA camera connection to Linux computer

I'm trying to connect a ToupTek XCAM4K8MPA camera to a Linux Ubuntu 20.04 64-bit computer to use with their provided ToupLite software for microscopy image capturing. The camera comes with a USB 3.0 cable, HDMI cable and USB WLAN adapter.
I have managed to set up the ToupTek ToupLite software (Link to manual, Link to download page) which, as far as I understand, comes with the SDK included. I have then connected the camera via USB 3.0 and HDMI cable to the computer, but ToupLite shows No device as in, the camera is not recognized or connected. I have tested the camera by simply connecting it to a computer monitor via HDMI cable and it works, but for capture I would like it to be connected to a computer and the WLAN or Wi-Fi connection solution is not really a good option.
Perhaps someone has some ideas of what I am missing.
Note: Relevant tags include touptek, touplite, microscopy
I ended up using the WLAN connection. Made a non-changing IP address for the camera and the ToupLite software recognizes that it is on the local network.

on windows 7/8, how to read usb device descriptor from a usb camera, and read picture stream with webcam meanwhile

I use webcam-capture(java api) to get video stream from a usb camera, it work fine.
I want read a usb device descriptor(store some private information), i find out that should install WinUSB or libusbk as a driver to the usb devices. and it test ok, read the descriptor success (by libusb_control_transfer api)
the question is:
befor I install WinUSB, the usb camera is a camera device in the windows device management list. the LibUSB work fail, can't open the usb devices, the error number is -5, means entrypoin not find
after I install WinUSB, libUSB api work ok, but the webcam program can't open the usb devices, it is a universal usb device in the windows device management list.
is there some way the webcam work ok, at the same time, i can read the usb device descriptor use libusb or use other something?
i tested on windows 7 and windows 8, have the same problem.
thanks.
Sadly this is not possible because each of your applications needs a different driver. The only way this can work is if you use libusb and build you own capturing api on top which is quite complicated. As long as webcam-capture can not read the data you want to know about the webcam I am afraid this is not possible.

Enable HDMI audio on RPi 2 with IoT Core

Is it possible to enable HDMI audio when running an UWP app on RPi 2? There is sound when I connect speakers via the 3.5mm jack, but I would prefer HDMI audio.
Apparently it's possible, but I don't know how to do it on IoT Core: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/audio-config.md
HDMI audio is not supported on Windows 10 IoT for the Raspberry Pi. The only option available is the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Using Arduino to connect Android tablet to USB Accessory

I have an Arduino-compatible board with USB Host Shield. It is connected to an Acer A100 Android tablet running "Ice Cream Sandwich" (Android 4.0.3) with Kernel 2.6.39.4. (The tablet has a USB micro connector and does not support USB HOST mode and therefore cannot connect directly to a USB accessory device.)
This picture shows what I have been able to do successfully (but with my tablet in place of the phone).

I would like to find an example of using an Android tablet connected to a USB Accessory (such as a keyboard or flash drive) via Arduino.
Connecting the USB accessory to the Arduino's USB micro connector (using an external power supply) does not work.
Can anyone provide me with such an example?
Theoretically it should work, I haven't tried it yet though.
Arduino should act as the middle man and should relay signals both from your tablet and the accessory.
What code are you use?
This is: adk_release_20120606?
And what board are you use SeeeduinoADK?
I use board Seeeduino ADK, but unfortunately I could not make it work in USB accessory mode. My board work in only ADB (MicroBridge mode). See my work example
My tablet is Ainol Aurora with Android version 4.0.4 (CyanogenMod 9)
