Testing Octo

[mccauleyf1]

I've installed Octo, is there an easy command to test it to make sure everything installed correctly?

[flatmax]

sure - can you post results of

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep audio

Then also

Code: Select all

aplay -l
arecord -l
aplay -L
arecord -L

Does alsamixer open a mixer console ?

Hmmm

[mccauleyf1]

All I got trying alsamixer was:

cannot open mixer: No such file or directory

[mccauleyf1]

Okay, update, I re-installed everything, and now alsamixer opens the mixer console

[mccauleyf1]

I've installed the sound card, and I've installed Pure Data.

But I can't get ANY SOUND to come out, either with Pure Data's Test Module or just trying to play an audio file.

Here are the results from testing:

Any ideas?? Thanks a bunch!

I have a similar problem... no sound comming out the rca jacks
here is what I have tried up to date.
AlsaMixer gui shows the audio injector I/O correctly, so I wonder where to go from here.

Also, when I start Audactity, the input VU meter shows a constant signal comming from channel ADC1, nothing else.
I'm starting to wonder if I received a bad board?
Anyone have an idea of what I can do to move forward?

Hi there, your card is setup ok - that is a good start !
You should be able to aplay and hear a sound.

When you use puredata - can you change the RCA plugs and find the audio anywhere ?

Seems that you still have pulse installed, and HDMI is showing up. Have you tried the auto installer for sanity ?

I would confirm that the audio device you are using is the octo - also try playing sound and switching RCA jacks.

Thanks for the response.

I have indeed used the autoinstaller and everything seems to have worked well... yet I get no sound in or out.
I tried all 8 inputs and all 6 outputs.
No sound in or out anywhere, the 3.5mm jack, hdmi or your sound board.
Just some noise while the PI reboots.
What do I do next to debug this?
