The Wiimote speakers can only really make generic sounds for us, using it as a mike won't work well.
When we initially checked out the hardware it was discovered that the speakers are in fact two way. However, making them work in reverse hasn't been accomplished (yet).

Any speaker is, in theory two way, a microphone is simply a speaker in reverse. Basic Audio Engineering knowledge there (no offense)

is that why you can plug in a cheep pair of head phones and use it as a mic?

Precisely. All that's needed is a medium to get the sound to the input, on a pair of headphones, the cable is used as a power source, considering it's being powered by an input jack, it's expecting data back, which it gets, due to how it's being powered. Hope I explained that simple enough, if you don't get what I mean I can draw up a diagram

can you draw a diagram for me please?]]> darklink Ideas, requestsThu, 19 Nov 2009 06:45:19 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,41667#msg-41667 Re: since we now have basic wiimote speaker supporthttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,41667#msg-41667 cactusjack901 Ideas, requestsThu, 19 Nov 2009 02:04:17 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,41657#msg-41657 Re: since we now have basic wiimote speaker supporthttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,41657#msg-41657

So if we wanted to make the wii mote speaker a mic we would most likely have to mod the controller to make the power go both ways?]]> aujakev Ideas, requestsThu, 19 Nov 2009 01:17:56 +0100 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,41655#msg-41655 Re: since we now have basic wiimote speaker supporthttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,41655#msg-41655

im sorry if i dont fully understand what you mean, but here is what i meant.

That we could use the wiimotes as microphones even thought we would get crappy sound.

yes, i kinda knew that, but still it would be understandable, wouldnt it?

I don't think the Wii Remote can speak to the Wii and give it that kind of information.]]> metroid_maniac Ideas, requestsSat, 10 Oct 2009 20:17:24 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,37398#msg-37398 Re: since we now have basic wiimote speaker supporthttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,37398#msg-37398 daisuke Ideas, requestsSat, 10 Oct 2009 15:55:18 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,37377#msg-37377 Re: since we now have basic wiimote speaker supporthttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,37377#msg-37377 metroid_maniac Ideas, requestsSat, 10 Oct 2009 13:02:31 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,37376#msg-37376 since we now have basic wiimote speaker supporthttp://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?26,37376,37376#msg-37376
