Live TC 7.2. on usb stick and macbook: no sound

[coreplayer2]

Good job.

If you resolved changing settings and configuration with alsactrl as described in the alsa info file, then maybe your system didn't need pulseaudio after all?

Sorry have taken a while to get back to you on default.pa config file, I've been really busy with OSS this week.  When complete, I'll reinstall pulseaudio so can give correct information.

If interested pulseaudio uses pacmd commandline scripting to control and set any pulseaudio parameter.
We don't have a great description of a setup in the wiki but adding a line at the end of this file 
"usr/local/etc/pulse/default.pa"  to configure pulseaudio on startup works great in newer systems with complicated configurations like HDMI and SPDIF

I added

Code: [Select]

set-card-profile 2  output:iec958-stereoto my default.pa file then added it to the system backup to set configuration on reboot.

The important info from "active profile: <output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo>" is:
active profile: <output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo>

However I'm not convinced your pulseaudio deamon is running correctly, but if alsactl store has resolved the issue then this is a moot point..

Meanwhile, still working on OSS
:p

Sorry, but I do not quite understand your post. The file
"Usr / local / etc / pulse / default.pa" in not present on TC. What does it do?
You are right. There are multiple errors with the pulse audio daemon. But it works.

Hi, there shouldn't be any errors. but looks to me like the dbus is not setup.    follow the instructions in the pulseaudio info file

[Frank69]

dbus is running. I used these instructions to configure dbus

Code: [Select]

  howto:
                 ALSA needs to be working for whatever sound device you have.
                 Create dbus entry for booting into X
                 $ Echo 'dbus-launch --sh syntax --exit-with-session "> ~ / .X.d / dbus
                 $ /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus Status [Check dbus is running]
                 If not running, starting with dbus
                 $ Sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
                 If dbus was not, Initially running, add a command to start it next reboot
                 $ Sudo echo '/usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start ">> /opt/bootlocal.sh

                 exit to console
                 startx
                 $ Pulseaudio -vv [to test]
                 When it is running correctly
                 echo "start-pulseaudio-x11"> ~ / .X.d / pulseaudio


[coreplayer2]

ok,   If configured correctly, all the menu items and tabs should be immediately available on opening of pavucontrol app, there should be no errors

[Frank69]

There are no problems with the app. Only if you test pulseaudio
($ PulseAudio -vv) then get some error messages.
