Possible Hearing Aid Function

(1/3) > >>

SpawnHyuuga:
If it hasn't already been done or already shot down - would it be possible to add a "hearing aid" function to Rockbox for targets that have a microphone? I'm thinking it's a simple as turning on record, but instead having it immediately playback. I thought maybe this could help the hearing impaired....

funman:
Entering record screen enables automatically loopback (what's recorded is also sent to the headphones), at least on the Sansas

dreamlayers:
This also works on the Archos Recorder V2.   The 5G iPod has loopback but it doesn't have a microphone, so an external microphone and preamp is required.

SpawnHyuuga:
Now, I suppose if I asked I'm going to be told it's already possible - but the Microphone can be set to only take certain volume levels right - if I were to say use this in school - could I set it up so it would take the voices, and hopefully I could make out the teachers lecture live and even boost the sound?

nls:
There is a volume trigger feature for recording but to separate out voices form other sounds you need to post process the audio with some kind of filter which rockbox doesn't have.
