In case you're wondering, some broadcast equipment, such as the Axia Radius, uses Ethernet sockets for the connection of balanced and unbalanced audio.

This simplifies cabling, but you need adapters at the end of each cable to go back to RCA, TTS, XLR etc.

How else did you think they got the dialup noises to play?

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dialup didn't use ethernet cables.

[–] bastian_5@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Care to elaborate? I can't find any information searching online.

This could come in handy for my USB industrial smelting oven

[–] ThorAlex@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago

Useless, you can't charge from USB-a!

(Seriously, it would be a fun project to stuff a USB powersupply in the 400v plug and a add a USB-c cable to mess with people at work... I'd do it but we only have 230v 3-phase outlets and that plug is probably too small.)

[–] ciko22i3@sopuli.xyz 32 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You could use it if you had another one with a female headphone jack. You could play your music to a speaker in another room if you have Ethernet in both rooms. Copper is copper.

[–] EatSleepBatheRepeat@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've done this. I've made speaker wire to ethernet adaptors to connect speakers in a different room through the walls to an amp. Feels and probably is so wrong.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

It really depends how much power you put through the cable, ethernet is something like 0.2 mm2 per core. You'd definitely want to double up cores.

[–] Inductor@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

While, as you said, both wires will conduct electricity just fine, they will have different AC impedance.

I would guess this wouldn't make much of a difference if you go Audio->Ethernet->Audio, since sound is at fairly low frequencies. But Ethernet->Audio->Ethernet might have problems with really high data rates, like GiB/s.

[–] sethboy66@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hell, 10/100base-t only uses four wires so you could run internet through a 4-pole 3.5; though YMMV depending on the particular 3.5mm's specs. I don't know if drivers would be a problem, but perhaps a 4-pole 3.5 to USB would be handy.

Easy AliExpress purchase

Fun fact: usb uart to audio jack is actually a thing: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1G43QaOnrK1RjSsziq6xptpXaN/win8-10-android-mac-pl2303hxd-usb-uart-ttl-to-2-5mm-audio-jack-serial-adatper-cable.jpg

Some older android phones used the audio jack double duty as a serial debug console, the nexus 5 for example.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

You can turn literally any signal into another it's great.

[–] ackzsel@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

I totally used an adapter like that. It did have a raspberry pi in the middle, though.

[–] icerunner@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finally, I can connect my Sinclair ZX Spectrum to Ethernet!

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Only if you have the TRS to D-DVI converter, and those are super super rare.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 12 points 1 year ago

Can I do dial-up over VoIP?

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 points 1 year ago

This is so you can record the dial-up sounds.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 9 points 1 year ago

I mean, network cabling is the same unshielded twisted pair wiring we've used for analog telephone audio over the last 150 years.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 7 points 1 year ago

Btw, when do we get Micro Ethernet?

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

...for audio streams?

I mean, if the adaptor is active, this could actually work. I have a fucking USB-fed Router/Modem in a case this size.

HdbaseT audio only?

[–] FQQD@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

direct music streaming

[–] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

It gives you the old dial-up modem sound

[–] einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

could be used to use lan cables as aux extentions

I know that's a thing for usb to get over the 16ft limit.

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

You can send all kinds of signals over ethernet cables tbh
