Experimental Feature to force audioDeviceName in SDLOut.cpp #2013

Closed HADeveloper closed 2 weeks ago

HADeveloper commented 4 weeks ago

This adds an experimental field to the AV settings page to manually set the Audio Card Id.

We were having an issue where the installed drivers for our audio card had the wrong id in the card folder. We manually set the audioDeviceName in the SDLOut.cpp file and it worked, so I added it as an option in the settings page.

Here is a screenshot of the new field and how we are using it. image

Curious to know what the output of "aplay -lL" looks like. I'm wondering if the comma in the name is causing an issue.

Here is the aplay -lL

The id in the card folder is ASI58100 found at /sys/class/sound/card1/id

patdelaney commented 4 weeks ago

I'm guessing that this would be in the advanced UI?

I would request that the appropriate tool tip text as well as some sort of description of the new field that Rick can use in the documentation would be included and greatly appreciated.

I leveled it "Experimental" in the UI, I can change it to advanced instead, and there is a tooltip attached.

As for a description: The Force Audio Card ID field allows for setting the audio card id manually instead of using the id in the selected card folder, located at /sys/class/sound/card*/id. This can help with the error: ALSA Couldn't open audio device: invalid argument.
