i'm having problems getting splay to work with ASLA on the Pepper Pad 3 ( AMD Geode / FC4-based system ). i had this working last week, but did a clean build on the cayenne_1_5_0 branch this weekend and now i can't get MP3 playback to work via ALSA.

If this is a Helix ALSA device-related problem, I'll work with you to resolve it.

daniel -

thanks for the detailed response!

What is the version of your ALSA?
rpm -q --info alsa-lib

on my FC4 destop, i'm running alsa-lib-1.0.10-3.RC4.

on the pepper pad, i'm running 1.0.11rc4.

There were two check-ins 11 days ago to Helix ALSA device code:
http://lists.helixcommunity.org/pipermail/audio-dev/2006-October/000776.html http://lists.helixcommunity.org/pipermail/audio-dev/2006-October/000775.html

ok, i'd seen these checkins and was going to investigate them next...

Could you do the following steps to trouble-shoot the problem?

1. Check if your system's ALSA configuration is working:
speaker-test -c1 --device default

on both my desktop and the pepper pad, this produces pink noise in the left channel.

speaker-test -c2 --device default

for both platforms, the pink noise alternates back 'n forth between the speakers.

speaker-test -c2 --device default --rate 48000

same results as the last test.

speaker-test -c2 --device default --rate 44100

no output.

2. A quick check if ALSA on your system is not set to 48000Hz Sampling Rate. Change/Add the last line in this block to the relevant file used by your player:
~/.helix/HelixSDK_1_0:
~/.helix/HelixSDK_10_0:
~/.realplayerrc:
~/.hxplayerrc:
AlsaVaryingSampleRate=1

Now, play a clip to check if this fixed the playback using ALSA.

that did the trick!

how come this wasn't handled under the covers by ALSA??

thanks,
