** Description changed: + FFe justification: + + + Probably one of the most popular questions I see new users ask about gnomeradio is along the lines of the following: + + "It looks like gnomeradio is working (showing me gui), but for some + reason I am not hearing any audio. What is wrong with my tuner?" + + Unfortunately, in the vast majority of cases, there is nothing wrong + with the tuner. The problem is that gnomeradio was originally designed + to be used with older tuner cards that have a dedicated audio output + cable, which you are expected to connect to speakers. Most newer tuner + products deliver their audio via an ALSA device, for which gnomeradio + has no mechanism to route the audio to soundcard. + + As a result, users end to run sox or arecord/aplay in a separate + terminal window (which always seemed like a rather ridiculous + workaround). + + One of this ridiculous workaround example : + https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnomeradio/+bug/613809/comments/21 + + + original description: + Gnomeradio seems to use the old OSS interface we have obsoleted in raring. I can't get Gnomeradio to output audio. I accesed the soundcard config with "alsamixer -c0" and turned the line-in all the way up. But i still can't get audio from my Gnomeradio. Gnomeradio needs to be ported to ALSA. The contents of my /proc/asound/pcm is: 00-00: Intel ICH : Intel ICH5 : playback 1 : capture 1 00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel ICH5 - MIC ADC : capture 1 00-02: Intel ICH - MIC2 ADC : Intel ICH5 - MIC2 ADC : capture 1 00-03: Intel ICH - ADC2 : Intel ICH5 - ADC2 : capture 1 00-04: Intel ICH - IEC958 : Intel ICH5 - IEC958 : playback 1 02-00: Bt87x Digital : Bt87x Digital : capture 1 02-01: Bt87x Analog : Bt87x Analog : capture 1 - Bt87x Digital/Analog i think are there cause of my TVcard but they never seemed to do anything. The card shipped with a loop cable to connect the card to the line-in and dind't mention it beeing possible another way. And i did go to the alsamixer -c0 and turned line-in all the way up and still didn't get any audio. But if there's a way to use my tvcard directly, would of course bee even better than that halfe baked line-in solution. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #704083 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704083 ** Also affects: gnomeradio (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=704083 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1154029 Title: [FFe] Gnomeradio has no mechanism to route the audio to soundcard, needs to be ported to ALSA API.
