Slackware sound problem

[joachim]

Hello,

after installing Slackware to a new card I am missing sound output

in AV. Maybe I need some codecs. In old installation everything is ok.

Maybe I can copy some files from there (where can I find them?).

What would be the best solution ?

Thanks for help.

You mean that you have audio with certain video, and not with some other ?

Or you have no audio at all with mp3 and videos ?

Which SL4P version are you using ?

 

[joachim]

In vlc I get the messge : potential ALSA version problem VLC failed to initialize sound card .. if any

update alsa lib to version 1... or higher

almost all files video/ audio are mp3

internet ogg-strem not working

version is actual from link

so what ?

another issue is videos over tv-out

the only output from player is black window/screen - maybe some hints?

I don't recall that the vlc pnd works under Slack.

Are you using SL4P-14.0 or -current ? And which sub-number ?

TV-out works when it's activated in the top-right menu.

 

[joachim]

I installed the stable version 14.0 like before on another card. How can I get the subnumber ?

I get info Linux version 3.2.39

from vlc I have 2 versions : vlc and vlc2; vlc is working in slackware but vlc2 is not working

TV-out I activate in the settings and everything is ok. Only the window of the Player (or fullscreen) ins black on TV but fine on LCD.

With Zaxxon 1.55 its even worse : the output (in XFCE) on LCD goes also black (in minimenu no problem). To watch videos again in XFCE I had to reboot (just black window in player but sound ok). See other thread in Support.

thanks for help.

Well, all is ok here.

Anyway, i'm uploading a new -14.0 release version 8 with updated stuff.

You may try it in a few hours.

my experience so far :

with old install on other SD all seems well,even TV out with correct settins ins vlc or SMplayer

new install - no sound ,error in vlc that alsa-lib missing but in GSlapt info that alsa-lib 1.26 installed

tried to install other alsa packages /tools , no avail

tried to remove alsa-lib ,ok but couldn´t reinstall because not found

no what can I do?

btw. in settings for USB you might change the info from toggle USB to on/off like in Zaxxon so I can see the actual status

thanks

Try the new version.

 

[joachim]

Ok , I will try and tell the result.

Is there any app like Me-TV for Slackware for programmed recording of TV ?

 

[joachim]

Just downloaded new version 14.0-8 but same result  Linux 3.2.45 showing

My first try was somewhere in march so this would be 14.0-5.I will try this one too. Or is there something with the sd ?

First card is 16GB, now I have 32GB. Are there problems with 32GB?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

I really don't understand. Works perfectly here.

Maybe show us the result of the dmesg command ?

For the TV program, check here:

[joachim]

ok, I have tested some things

14.0-5 on 32GB partition

first seemed to work with user an sound out, in SMPlayer, then no more sound

with root got some sound output, but no more Pandora apps showing

then with 2x16GB partition and 14.0-8

no sound with normal user showing alsa error with vlc

root plays sound but vlc not starting

all PNDs in menu

Linux 3.2.45 showing

old card 16GB evrything ok with 14.0-5

thanks for the link

has anyone tested with 32GB card?

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Did you put yourself in the audio group, as indicated here ?

[joachim]
