troubleshooting alsa in tc version 6.1
« on: May 07, 2015, 03:48:53 PM »
I am referencing the 6.1 support files and working my way down to try to figure out the problem with my alsa install. At the start of the 6.1 info page, speaker-test is mentioned. In the Files section I see:

Code: [Select]
/usr/local/bin/aconnect
/usr/local/bin/alsaloop
/usr/local/bin/alsamixer
...
/usr/local/bin/iecset
/usr/local/bin/speaker-test
...

After installing alsa, I don't find /usr/local/bin/speaker-test.

Code: [Select]
tc@box:~$ which alsamixer aplay alsaloop speaker-test
tc@box:~$ tce-load -iw alsa.tcz
alsa.tcz.dep OK
...
...
alsa.tcz: OK
Simple mixer control 'Master',0
  Capabilities: pvolume pvolume-joined pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Limits: Playback 0 - 87
  Mono: Playback 60 [69%] [-20.25dB] [on]
tc@box:~$ which alsamixer aplay alsaloop speaker-test
/usr/local/bin/alsamixer
/usr/local/bin/aplay
/usr/local/bin/alsaloop
tc@box:~$ exit

Why do I not have /usr/local/bin/speaker-test?

The file list is wrong.
Speaker-test is in alsa-config.tcz.

Thank you for your reply. Since 6.2 is available, if it is not too much trouble, would you know if the same issue is true? That is, if you know or can find out easily that is great, but if not easy, I'll just move to 6.2 and find out.

The repo is for version 6, not just for 6.1 or 6.2.
You can see for yourself by looking in /tmp/tcloop after loading an extension.

file lists corrected for the alsa and alsa-config extensions.

For the sake of clarity, speaker-test is in the alsa-config extension.
