local audio #42

Closed billy27607 closed 13 years ago

billy27607 commented 13 years ago

I cannot get local audio to work with forked-daapd. I can play songs locally through cli and graphical players, but not with forked-daapd. I can play through an airport express that I have. the Daapd account is in the audio group. I have tried with both alsa and oss4. The messages are similar...

Does anyone have any suggestions? [

It works for me with alsa. uncomment in forked-daapd.conf in audio section

card = "default"

check that you have a default device (you can specifiy it in you /etc/asound.conf) forked-daapd should be in audio group

good luck

Hmm... I had tried alsa, failed, switched to oss4 failed, now switched back and it works... Go figure... Thanks for verifying, it got me there...

Hi, I'm having the same problem, here is my log :

I tried to set the default device but it didn't seemed to work ...

billy27607 commented 13 years ago

My logs looked exactly like that... I now have it working with ALSA. I am not sure what I did, but I was never successful specifying the device. I got the same messages as you. When I just uncomment the spec line and let it say "default" it works.

How do I add forked-daapd to the audio group? I'm fighting with the same issue.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found the solution. For everyone else:

If sound works for root account but not for a normal user, then you need to add the user to the audio group. This can be done by running the command

Here local audio support does not work! i have no idea how to get it to work...

this are the lines in the conf:

audio {

AirTunes name - used in the speaker list in Remote

    nickname = "T64 Server Out"
    # Audio device name for local audio output
    card = "default"
    # Mixer channel to use for volume control - ALSA/Linux only
    # If not set, PCM will be used if available, otherwise Master.
    #mixer = ""

}

But there is no "T64 Server Out" in the speaker selection in iTunes/Remote.app....

The log looks like that:

[2012-01-03 13:39:17] main: Forked Media Server Version 0.19 taking off [2012-01-03 13:39:17] main: mDNS init [2012-01-03 13:39:17] mdns: Avahi state change: Client running [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: AirTunes device D830622EAD42@Knatterkiste is password-protected [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: No password given in config for AirTunes device D830622EAD42@Knatterkiste [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: AirTunes device D830622EAD42@Knatterkiste is password-protected [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: No password given in config for AirTunes device D830622EAD42@Knatterkiste [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: AirTunes device 28E7CFD0E067@Apple TV is password-protected [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: No password given in config for AirTunes device 28E7CFD0E067@Apple TV [2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: AirTunes device 28E7CFD0E067@Apple TV is password-protected

[2012-01-03 13:40:09] player: No password given in config for AirTunes device 28E7CFD0E067@Apple TV

Any Idea?

PS.: sorry for that big/small fonts... i have no idea how that works.... ;)
