Hi Peter, This was caught in my junk filter, not sure why, but, here's what I do for audio on a new distro install.
Note, for what it's worth, I *am not* seeing the issues your stating below and I have corrected the wsjtrc v.s. wsjtxrc path typo. I use outboard audio for Hamradio, TI Bur-Brown via US Interface Navigator (USB Audio CODEC). However. I always make sure the onboard audio is up and running before doing anything else apart from the normal update & upgrades for the distribution I am testing. Additionally, I always ensure the Navigator *is not* plugged in and the onboard audio is enabled in the BIOS before installing, be it Motherboard, or a PCI card. * Before installing any SW packages, I verify I can play music and / or watch videos with the onboard audio device, in my case, almost all of them are HDA Intel of some sort. * If I use Pulseaudio anywhere, I make sure the user is in pulse and pulse-access groups. * I do not use Bluetooh, so I remove bluze-alsa if it's installed. * I review / update /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf to ensure the onboard audio is set to index "0" and my Nav audio to 1+, then verify it after an alsa reload ( reboot or alsa --force-reload ) with : cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/modules aplay -l If the Bur-Brown codec is above the Intel Audio with any of the checks, I edit: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and fix the indexing. While doing this, if onboard audio is set, I also edit the left, right, center etc etc channels, for snd-hda-intel-x to default. You should also check that you can use alsamixer or other command line tools to manipulate sound devices. If I never plan to use the onboard audio for a particular box, after installing & configuring the Navigator ( udev rules etc ), I have, in the past, disabled the onboard audio completely. However, that can cause issues elsewhere, so be careful with that one. * asoundrc: I've not had to use that method in a long time, , 1.5+ years or maybe?? Although I don't use WSJT everyday on Linux, more WSPR and WSJT-X I still test it can TX/RX after builds. After all the above has passed and seems to be working properly, then I start installing packages for building. There is really no point in confusing the issue if your primary sound is not functioning the way it should before hand. If the sound is working with other apps, and not with WSJT apps, then all bets are off, as I've probably missed something in the setup / prep phase. Hope that gives you some ideas to work through. 73's Greg, KI7MT On 01/04/2015 09:57 AM, Peter Frenning [OZ1PIF] wrote: > I'm doing this on a fresh Mint 17.1 "Rebecca" 32-bit Cinnamon install, > i.e. no prior development work done. > > running with distro set to "mint" > > Used: "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu"; as mirror information per > Greg's suggestion. > > All apps (WSJT, WSJT-X RC & Devel., and WSPR) built successfully - now > for the testing! > > WSPR 4.0 r4727 is running fine! > > WSJT-10 fails with the old "Invalid Sample rate" error! are we back to > the hideous "radioconv" dodge?
