Sound in piCore

[Juanito]

This means you need an ncurses extension, no?

Right, ncurses is a soft dependency. Load ncurses.tcz

Thank you both.

I'm really impressed and grateful for your knowledge and continued help you provide.
Installing ncurses solved the problem.

To get sound working with the on-board hardware, just install alsa.tcz from the repo. It will load and intialize all necessary components, no configuration needed.
.... Try moc.tcz which is tested with .mp3 and .flac .....

Jinxed times really, but then again ...

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi alsa.tcz

Code: [Select]

tce-load -wi moc.tcz

Code: [Select]

alsamixer unmuteF6 -> Soundcard ( I tried both, default and 0 bcm2835 ALSA )

Code: [Select]

mocpI can see that a *.flac file is being played but no sound can be heard from the analog 3.5" jack ( moc's pcm=00% )

These are the messages I'm getting:

Code: [Select]

Can't load plugin libmp3_decoder: file not found
Running the server...
Trying ALSA...
I've read that the libmp3_decoder error can be fixed by adjusting the ALSA buffer_time.  Can someone shed some light on this (?)
As far as I know, moc has got a config file which can be imported this way:

Code: [Select]

cd ~/.moc && cp /usr/share/doc/moc/examples/config.example.gz ./ && gunzip config.example.gz && mv config.example configIs there any similar way to do it on piCore ?

tce-load -iw libid3tag

Code: [Select]

tce-load -iw libid3tag

Right, *.mp3 files are now recognized and played. Still no sound  from the analog 3.5" jack ( moc's pcm=00% ) though.

[bmarkus]

Just repeated your steps, FLAC and MP3 playback works fine, I can listen music with earphone plugeend into the 3.5mm jack. Still some issue with WAV, will check.

[bmarkus]

Of course not. Your command is invalid. Use -R OR --sound-driver

[gtr2]

My bad, you're right. The command runs well, still no sound though.

[bmarkus]

I would suggest to check your settings. Maybe you have the HDMI sound output configured. Just a thought.

I already checked that. Neither HDMI nor 3.5mm jack sound. The thing that puzzles me most is that pcm=00% in moc.
What about the config file for moc, isn't there one ? I've used moc on various Linux distros and I have always had a config file.

I don't know if this might be of interest but ...

I have it alway 00% but playback is fine, alsamixer does its job.

[bmarkus]

Is it only an mocp issue? Do you get sound from other programs? Try aplay to isolate the issue.

Hi did you remember to use:
sudo modprobe snd_bcm2835
