Upgrading to HAOS 12.3 breaks Alsa Audio in Notifier add-on

[ecou2508]

Notifier Add-on won’t play anymore stereo 44.1 KHz wav audio files since HAOS 12.3 update Others files play fine but i did not test every formats… Downgrading OS to 12.2 restores full fonctionality of Alsa Audio in this add-on. See below captures of Notifier Add-on log, settings of a working file and non-working file. Thanks.

I fixed the 44 kHz files issue, at least in my test environment, and created a new version of the Addon. I'm waiting for confirmation from users before declaring the problem solved.

I just upgraded one of my 2 raspi 4b from OS12.2 to OS12.4: On OS 12.4 : I still have problems : 44Khz stereo wav file playback is missing the first 0,85 sec of the beginning of the audio. The same file plays still fine on OS 12.2 The new version of notifier has been installed on both systems.

I tried a second full reboot of the system but same result !

Nothing in Notifier's log nor in HA logs.

The same audio 44khz/stereo file plays fine with a paplay command in SSH&Web terminal on OS 12.4

Thanks, Eddy

Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce his problem with 44.1 kHz wav audio files, in my test environment the playback, activated by a button and an automation, starts immediately and the sound is heard for 13.943 s. I attach the addon log with Debug option enabled.

I used version 1.1.1 of the addon, installed after deleting the previous version. Since I am currently unable to obtain the reported malfunction (no sound for the first 0.85s), I leave the problem open, waiting for further information. Best regards

Dear Guido, Can you please try with my file ? I copy it to a shared folder in my GoogleDrive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11PfALgOI9JN-q95BaY5cwbdWx0HVTyNl?usp=sharing This wav file has been created with Audacity (free software) and https://freetts.com/ and i did not put any kind of copyright on it... :-) Great thanks Eddy

With debug option enabled, the log has following infos:

I tested the audio file "systeme.desarme.wav" with the new version 1.1.2 that I was preparing and now there is no longer the silence of 0.8s, while I was able to see that it was present in the previous version 1.1.1. . I therefore invite you to try this version 1.1.2, which I put into production a few minutes ago, and let me know the results you get. Best wishes Guido Gardini
