Over the past years, Apple has been restricting and changing the way kernel extensions (KExt) and driver extensions (DExt) are handled. Many products however set a custom product ID (PID) to differentiate their device, though in the thread some mention that there are driver issues even with the default VID/PID combination. At its core appears to be that the built-in FTDI driver provided by Apple (xt) only supports FTDI chips which provide the standard FTDI vendor and product ID (e.g. Posted in Musical Hacks, Peripherals Hacks Tagged audio, usart, usbĪn anonymous reader pinged us about an issue that affects people who jumped onto the latest-and-greatest OS from the Apple gardens: USB devices that stop working due to the FTDI-based USB solution. Plugging random TRS-equipped devices into one’s HiFi set, phone or boombox is best done only after ascertaining that no damage is likely to result. Not all inputs will be equally tolerant of higher voltages, however.
A note of caution here is also required: this is the 3.3V adapter version, and it lists its typical output high voltage as 2.8V, which is within tolerances for line-level inputs. When we compare this to the wiring of a standard audio TRS jack, we can see that the grounds match in both wirings, and TX (RX on the receiving device) would match up with the left channel, with the right channel unused. If we look at at the datasheet for the TTL-232R-3V3-AJ adapter cable, we can see how it is wired up: As one can hear in the video embedded in the tweet, the end result is pretty good. If said receiving device happens to be an audio receiver with an ADC, it will happily receive and play back the PDM signal as audio. By sending PDM data down the UART’s TX line, the other side will receive these bits. Unlike Pulse-Code Modulation ( PCM), this encoding method does not encode the absolute sample value, but uses binary pulses, the density of which corresponds to the signal level. The output file is the raw audio data, which is encoded in PDM, or Pulse-Density Modulation. After this it’s a matter of encoding the audio file, and compiling the uart-sound binary. As a demonstration project, it requires the input PCM files to be a specific sample rate, as listed in the README, which matches the samples to the baud rate of the UART. Essentially what happens underneath the hood is that it takes in a PCM-encoded file (e.g.

has made the C-based code available on GitHub. In this case a USB-TTL adapter based around the FTDI FT232R IC: the TTL-232R-3V3-AJ adapter with 12 Mbps USB on one end, and a 3 Mbps UART on the other end.

What is the easiest way to get audio from a WAV file into a line-level format, ready to be plugged into the amplifier of a HiFi audio set (or portable speaker)? As demonstrated on Twitter, all you really need is a UART, a cable and a TRS phono plug.
