 Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 4:34 am Post subject: play - there is no default audio device configured |
 |
|
I am missing something, have no audio.
I'm trying to use "play" (sox) to play media file (gsm, wav) from command line but it complains: | Code: | play msg0001.gsm
play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured |
I've configured ALSA according to:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/alsa-guide.xml (all drivers are compiled IN, not as module)
| Code: | lspci | grep Audio
00:11.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8235/8237 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 60) |
I've compiled IN "PCI sound devices": | Code: | | <*> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller |
is it the correct one?
| Code: | lspci -n
00:00.0 0600: 1106:0314
00:00.1 0600: 1106:1314
00:00.2 0600: 1106:2314
00:00.3 0600: 1106:3208
00:00.4 0600: 1106:4314
00:00.7 0600: 1106:7314
00:01.0 0604: 1106:b198
00:09.0 0200: 10ec:8167 (rev 10)
00:0f.0 0101: 1106:0571 (rev 06)
00:10.0 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 81)
00:10.1 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 81)
00:10.2 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 81)
00:10.3 0c03: 1106:3038 (rev 81)
00:10.4 0c03: 1106:3104 (rev 86)
00:11.0 0601: 1106:3227
00:11.5 0401: 1106:3059 (rev 60)
01:00.0 0300: 1106:3344 (rev 01) |
What else did I miss? |

The guide did not fail me, everything compile just OK
except I'm still getting:
play msg0001.gsm
play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured
so it makes me wonder if I selected the correct driver in the kernel. |

The driver should be snd-via82xx
What ls /dev/snd shows to you. |

Ah, that could be the culprit, | Code: | ls /dev/snd/
controlC0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1c pcmC0D1p seq timer |
I'm 100% sure I've compiled the driver IN
| Code: | cat .config |grep -i via
...
CONFIG_SND_VIA82XX=y |
I'll have to check it tonight again. |

It is strange, I've checked in the kernel:
<*> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller
but when I'm recompiling the kernel it does not show: | Code: | make && make modules_install
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/linux/utsrelease.h
SYMLINK include/asm -> include/asm-x86
CALL scripts/checksyscalls.sh
CHK include/linux/compile.h
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#11)
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 3 modules
INSTALL drivers/input/input-polldev.ko
INSTALL drivers/input/serio/serport.ko
INSTALL drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko
DEPMOD 2.6.30-gentoo-r4 |
It should show something with "...via.... " |

| Hey, you built it in, it won't show up in modules. You have device nodes in /dev/snd, your soundcard is working. Try with some other player, as MPlayer. |

Yes, I do have something in there: | Code: | total 0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 0 Jun 10 13:08 controlC0
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 24 Jun 10 13:08 pcmC0D0c
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 16 Jun 10 13:08 pcmC0D0p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 25 Jun 10 13:08 pcmC0D1c
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 17 Jun 10 13:08 pcmC0D1p
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Jun 10 13:08 seq
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 Jun 10 13:08 timer
|
but I'm still getting :
play msg0001.gsm
play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured
MPlayer, not sure if it will compile on it, the system wasn't upgraded for at least a year or two; I'm just managing it over ssh |

| Wait a minute, kernel is 2.6.30. System is not upgraded in two years? Methinks your alsalib is too old for this kernel. |

Where is the "time stamp" file for the portage? I'll check
got it "/usr/portage/metadata/glsa/timestamp.chk"
I've rsync in April but I know for sure I've not emerge or update this system this year. |

This is a very uneducated suggestion I'm making, but how painful would it be to switch that around to being a module instead of built-in?

Personally I've always done it so I can pass extra args when doing modprobe (though that's far more relevant for snd-hda-intel, since it has 8 zillion models)
It's worth a shot if you run out of other things to try.

| I'm no ALSA expert either, but i think in-kernel driver version has to match alsa-utils and alsa-lib. I'd try upgrading those. |

OK, I can play now.
I've recompiled as module:
<M> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233/8235 AC97 Controller
run: alsaconf it found: via82xx (so this is correct one)
| Code: | cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
...
alias /dev/mixer snd-mixer-oss
alias /dev/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/midi snd-seq-oss
# Set this to the correct number of cards.
# --- BEGIN: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. ---
# --- ALSACONF version 1.0.21 ---
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias sound-slot-0 snd-via82xx
# --- END: Generated by ALSACONF, do not edit. --- |
so it seems like I should have a sound but, I get the same error: | Code: | play msg0001.gsm
play FAIL sox: Sorry, there is no default audio device configured |
What am I missing here?! |

I've re-compile the driver as module, how to check if it is loaded?
| Code: | ls /dev/snd/
controlC0 pcmC0D0c pcmC0D0p pcmC0D1c pcmC0D1p seq timer |
I don't see any "snd-via82xx" |

As I've mentioned, the system hasn't been upgraded for a while so I don't want to try to compile anything heavy.
What other text based player I can compile, right now I think I only have "sox" |

ahhh man, you're making me have to get up out of my chair and grab my laptop 
`aplay` comes with some package,
i need to go look it up. mplayer works on the command-line as well - heck, there's even a CLI for VLC, but these two are probably more heavy than you like.

loads of options, check the man page for aplay. |
I've installed mplayer and it plays the files just fine; so there must be something that hasn't been updated that sox doesn't want to play them. |

Ok cool. Least we know it isn't the driver!
And since it's not the driver, and I know nothing about sox (well, in this context, I know sarbanes-oxley better than I wish I had to) I am unfortunately of little/no/zero help further. I mean I guess you could check command-line switches for `play` and see if any allow you to specify a device, but beyond that I bow out.
