A few things to look at:
-For the client, make sure it has a static IP, and be sure you have
added the client in rdadmin --> Hosts
-If you are running a standard onboard (or otherwise) sound card - using
ALSA - have you set up the card in /etc/asound.conf on the client? You
can use rdalsaconfig for this
-Check RDAdmin --> Manage hosts --> (click on host) --> Audio adapters.
Are there any items listed under Audio Adapters?
-If you are trying to use an on-board sound card (and some inexpensive
sound cards that are not onboard also require this) you *might* need to
add your sample rate (the sample rate that Rivendell uses in rdadmin -->
System Settings) into your /etc/asound.conf - here's an example from one
of my systems:
/etc/asound.conf
# *** Start of Rivendell configuration generated by rdalsaconfig(1) ***
pcm.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
device 0
rate 48000
}
ctl.rd0 {
type hw
card 0
}
# *** End of Rivendell configuration generated by rdalsaconfig(1) ***
Make the above addition for each of your pcm entries in /etc/asound.conf
(you will need to be root to edit this file), save your file and restart
your daemons or reboot. Check in rdadmin --> Manage Hosts --> Audio
Adapters and see if your sound card shows up.
While in rdadmin --> Manage Hosts check each module (rdairplay,
rdlibrary, etc) and make sure your card and port is selected for the
outputs and inputs
Hopefully one of those will point you in the right direction.
