Missing devices in audio sink

[c3kkos]

Feature description

It happens to have more then 3 output devices (sinks) in modern, integrated audio adapters. I have a HP ultrabook that, via pipewire, offers many endpoints (3 hdmi and 1 duplex analog output)

sdrpp only show 3 out of 4, all hdmi, making it impossible to choose loudspeakers/headphones combo output.

Please expand to show as many endpoints found

Workarounds:

manually edit xml in ~/.config

use qpwgraph to manually re-route audio output to the correct sink

[AlexandreRouma]

All available devices are always shown, it doesn't limit anything. Show logs.

[c3kkos]

Sure.

Indeed, there is a jack related error, from its api, but 1) not sure if that affects the issue 2) why jack? anyhow, i've got pipewire and wireplumber, up&running fine, with alsa and jack support enabled (Cockos Reaper works)

[AlexandreRouma]

Because as I suspected it's a rtaudio issue and not a SDR++ one. Follow these instructions for a fix.

[c3kkos]

Thank you Alexander!

Just in case someone wants a quick&dirty workaround for this:

in Linux Mint latest releases Pipewire and Wireplumber audio systems are the new defaults, so you should have only to install "qpwgraph"

that lets you play with nodes.

Just detach the current "Radio" (sdrpp) and attach the channels to your physical output device.

[c3kkos]

I've done what written for rtaudio. Followed every step, including checking out v5.1

but got a very ugly seg fault when i start sdrpp.

here's the log:

It wasn't followed properly or you didn't have at least pulseaudio or pipewire-pulse instead.

[c3kkos]

I tried to build&install fresh from a new git clone, but it didnt work

i do have pipewire-pulse

sudo make uninstall <- in rtaudio src dir and reverting to packaged dev lib fixed the segmentation fault (back to previous setup)

[AlexandreRouma]

Can't help any more than that. it's clearly an rtaudio issue on your specific system so I have no control over it. Open up an issue with them and they might be able to help you.

[c3kkos]

2nd time i tried it worked... i don't know, probably i messed up something..
