Hello, thank you for testing.
The noisy is expected, the D/A frequency is only 115200 bps (fxPlayer uses 1.8 Mbps), I will improve it after I find how.
The 30 seconds duration is also expected and I wrote it in the initial post. The player is synchronous so it loads piece of sound and then it plays (outputs bytes in a loop). I will improve it after I find how to do asynchronous output.
The direct wav support seems to be advantage, but due to limited storage I think I will create more space-saving format.
I think it will use only 4 bit samples so it will have 1/2 of the wav length.

Yeah it might be good if there was a different format that was compressed. Would the calculator be fast enough to decompress it while playing, though?

I plan to try mp3, but i am afraid it will be too slow.

It would be nice indeed. Something else that I wonder if it's possible is a MIDI player. Would the calc be fast enough to play multiple instruments at once?

Video Response: Do you have a CG 10 or a CG 20? I have a CG10 and it isn't that good.
CG10. It might be because I recorded while putting the headphone speaker right next to the iPod Touch mic, so this alters the quality a bit and we hear the distortion less. I would have recorded the sound directly on my computer, but I can't find my 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and I think the quality would be even worse.

Also the distortion is less perceptible on certain headphones.

Sorry btw I didn't notice your comment until now.

Hello, this is updated version of the wave player.
Changes:
- COM speed increased 4x (to 460800), so it is 1/4 of COM speed used by fxPlayer. This means sound quality is better, but do not expect miracles. I was able to directly access the sio registers (thank you Simon :-) ), but it seems the serial port is less powerful compared to the one in 9860G (one speed register is missing and fifo is only 16 B).
- player remained synchronous, but it is able to play the whole wav - it creates the map of the file in flash and while playing it reads the file from flash directly (see source for details)

I am not sure I will be able to increase the sound quality, I thing I touch the HW limits.

It plays better quality, but it isn't very loud. It's awesome. Just keep making upgrades.

The output could be slightly louder, but I am afraid that quality would decrease.
To make it louder, open cgplayer.c, change line 211:
Code: [Select]
giSubSample = gpBuffer[giBufIndex] >> 4;to
Code: [Select]
giSubSample = gpBuffer[giBufIndex] >> 3;
I hope it will work, I cannot test it just now.

hi i have a THEORY (only theory) to improve audio player

the ea-200/e-cons2 using the communication system by cable sb-62 (calc-to-calc cable), and is compatible with the Prizm



it may be possible to find another syscall in this app to improve sound quality or write to RX pin

EDITED:

EA-200 have sound & speaker, calculator group link, etc  :o

Wow the new version sounds much better, despite being less loud. It's still louder than most other audio programs though. Also it's nice to hear entire songs play now. :D

Now to find my computer cable...

I tried converting Nyan Cat, but it plays back as high pitched sound. Only when I plug it into my stereo system and turn up the volume 3/4 of the way, I could hear the song. However, that song is also high pitched as well... :P

I'm not too sure if this is converted right. The file size is 2.27 MBs for 3:36 of music.

Is this a bug or a problem on my side? I own a CG-10.

It could be because your song was not maxed out, volume-wise. In Audacity you need to increase its volume (amplification) so it's loud enough, else the static produced by the calc will drown the song.

Also I finally found my 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable (and I got my 2.5mm adapter) so I could finally record the calc audio directly to the computer. This is how La Porte du Soleil sounds like on-calc:
