The speake audio path is not used. For design decision Android open the device in AudioFlinger Theread: I/AudioHardwareALSA( 867): Initialized ALSA PLAYBACK device AndroidPlayback_Speaker_normal D/AudioHardwareALSA( 867): Set PLAYBACK PCM format to S16_LE (Signed 16 bit Little Endian) D/AudioHardwareALSA( 867): Using 2 channels for PLAYBACK. D/AudioHardwareALSA( 867): Set PLAYBACK sample rate to 44100 HZ D/AudioHardwareALSA( 867): Buffer size: 16384 D/AudioHardwareALSA( 867): Latency: 371519 and this remains open. So the the lm is switch on on boot. I think that the correct behavior is to have a different profile in asound.conf to avoid power drain and open a different one when the system want to use the speaker or just not open the alsa device. Hope that the now is clear Best regards Michael _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
